A parting thought
With the end of the year fast approaching, I decided to join the pundits and leave one parting thought. So here goes!
Election 2010: Right-wing glow will be brief
Don't be surprised when many who voted for the Republicans become disillusioned with their policies, and on this ground a bigger and broader people's movement will emerge.
A lot at stake for immigrant rights on Nov. 2
The Republican Party is spouting vile hatred for immigrants, especially those who have dark skin but don't have papers. The punditry would have us believe that supporting rights for immigrants is "political suicide" in this election year.
Right-wing dead serious about killing minimum wage
The political right is implementing a multi-faceted strategy it hopes will push the country back to the days when there was absolutely no social safety net at all.
Immigration: The legislative picture
With as many as 14 other states consider legislation like Arizona's noxious SB 1070, the prospect of a comprehensive immigration reform to provide legalization for the 10.8 million undocumented immigrants gets harder.
Climate change legislation - one of the next big battles
Among the next big things — climate change legislation looms large.
Bipartisan Senate immigration bill looks like a bitter pill
Indications are that a new immigration reform bill with some bipartisan support will be introduced very soon in the Senate. But there are going to be some severe problems.
Aim those arrows accurately
We have nothing to gain, and everything to lose, if the Republicans - the strongest advocates for Wall Street and corporate profits at the people's expense - succeed in stopping Obama.
Health care: Keep the pressure on
Bravo to the health care activists who are cranking out the phone calls and participating in rallies across the country to say "finish reform right," despite stalled negotiations on Capitol Hill.
What if?
What if I told you that by supporting the 1935 Social Security Act you would be selling out the working class and capitulating to right-wing special interests?
