Obama's drone 'kill list': Are you a 'Militant?' →
Remember back in Obama’s 2008 campaign when it was generally believed that his background in law would render him an effective leader — at the very least — with respect to the rule of law? It’s hard to imagine that was ever believed in retrospect, as we’ve seen the former “anti-war” state senator not only completely betray various campaign promises, but...

Rocky Anderson understands that we do not need to sacrifice the environment to satisfy our short-term energy needs. As President he will promote sustainable energy practices that satisfy our energy requirements and incorporate environmental and public health protections – particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change and protecting water resources.

May Day: The American Labor Tradition, and Our Way... →
Do you know the history of May Day? On May 1, 1886, laborers came together to make Chicago the heart of the eight-hour work day movement. In a series of at least 19 marches beginning on April 25, laborers organized together and paraded down Chicago streets, which culminated in 35,000 skilled and unskilled workers walking off their jobs on the first of May. Inspired by those events, unionists and...

Why, Mr. Anderson?
Smith: Why, Mr. Anderson, why, why? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something, for more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson, vagaries of perception! Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose! And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although, only a human mind could create something as insipid as love! You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson, you must know it by now, you can't win! It's pointless to keep fighting! Why, Mr. Anderson, why?! Why do you persist?!
Neo: Because I choose to.

There’s never been a more vital time for us all to become involved and create a movement to bring us along the way in standing up against the evisceration of the rule of law, the evisceration of our civil liberties and civil rights, the evisceration of human rights, the warmongering, the caving in to Wall Street, and the military industrial complex.
I know we hear a lot about how we...

sarahlee310:
In Dollars & Sense, economist Gerald Friedman makes the case for single-payer:
The Expanded & Improved Medicare for All Act” (HR 676) would establish a single authority responsible for paying for health care for all Americans. Providing universal coverage with a “single-payer” system would change many aspects of American health care. While it would raise some costs by...
Q: If you had to choose between Romney or Obama,...
That’s not as easy of a response as you might think. Because with President Obama in the White House, he has basically neutered the Democratic Party as an opposition party.
If we had George Bush or Mitt Romney in office, I don’t think they would have been able to sign off on the NDAA Provision allowing the indefinite detention of anybody including U.S. citizens, without charges, trials, legal...

In 2007, Rocky Anderson prepared a compelling case for the impeachment of President Bush. Today, he claims President Obama’s crimes are even “more frightening,” and he urges voters to organize and make a stand against tyranny.
Testifying in July 2008 at a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Anderson charged President Bush and Vice-President Cheney with “egregious abuses of...
