The Democrats Attack Unions Nationwide | Truthout

The Democrats Attack Unions Nationwide | Truthout

"Here is the short list of states with Democratic governors where labor unions are undergoing severe attacks: Massachusetts, Connecticut, Oregon, California, New York, Illinois, Washington, Hawaii, Minnesota, Maryland and New Hampshire. Other states with Democratic governors are attacking unions to a lesser degree."

"Without aggressively demanding solutions to the immediate problems facing working people, a social movement cannot be created to deal with the crisis facing labor unions and working people in general. Only a national social movement with Wisconsin-like energy has the potential to shift the country's direction, away from the rich and corporations and toward working people. Such a social movement will not be born from soft demands, half-fought battles or campaigning for Democrats."

"This culture of corporate influence and corruption is precisely what we as Progressives United want to change," he wrote. "So we've decided to take on those legislators who are unwilling to stand up to corporate power, and we're naming names."

The names included House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO). In addition, the email targeted Sens. Mitch McConnell, (R-KY), Rob Portman (R-OH), Joe Lieberman (I-CT), and Rep. Darrell Issa, (R-CA).

Feingold accused the group of backing "corporate interests in Congress" by opposing an executive order under discussion in the White House that would require government contractors to reveal their political donations."

Maryland moves closer to extending tuition breaks to illegal immigrants http://wapo.st/dE99Mg

With anti-illegal-immigrant sentiment rising in the United States, a growing number of states are considering legislation that would forbid public universities from offering in-state tuition breaks to illegal immigrants.

But this week, the Maryland legislature, dominated by Democrats, took a step in the opposite direction, voting to guarantee in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) is expected to sign the bill.

Sponsors overcame years of entrenched opposition with a provision that steers undocumented students to community colleges instead of the increasingly competitive flagship school, the University of Maryland, lessening the risk that they will crowd out others for coveted spots.

Will the Public Blame Paul Ryan if There's a Shutdown? | Mother Jones


Will the Public Blame Paul Ryan if There's a Shutdown? | Mother Jones

"Recent polling shows that more voters are inclined to blame Democrats than Republicans for a government shutdown. But the GOP may have shot itself in the foot by deciding to introduce Paul Ryan's controversial, entitlement-slashing budget plan for next year the very same week they move towards a shutdown."
