Issues We Still Care About

DEMAND OBAMA RELEASE THE EXECUTION MEMOS. Just as the public demanded the release of the Bush Administration's Torture Memos to expose the ludicrous rationale behind their secret torture program, we too must demand to know the legal rationale for a program that allows our president to unilaterally choose to deprive someone of life and liberty - without the victim even being charged with a crime. Sign FireDogLake's petition demanding the Obama administration produce the internal memos and legal justification for their targeted execution program.

SUPPORT THE StopWatching.Us CAMPAIGN. The StopWatching.Us campaign aims to turn grass-roots anger at secret surveillance into political action.

SUPPORT CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT THAT DOESN'T GIVE PERSONHOOD TO CORPORATIONS. We have got to send a constitutional amendment to the states that says simply and straightforwardly what everyone - except five members of the United States Supreme Court - understands: Corporations are not people with equal constitutional rights. Corporations are subject to regulation by the people. Corporations may not make campaign contributions -- the law of the land for the last century. And Congress and states have the power to regulate campaign finances. Sign Sen. Sander's petition.

SUPPORT PFAW'S GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGN. People for the American War want to pass an amendment to the U.S. Constitution which would nullify the worst part of the USSC's decision by granting Congress the authority to limit corporate influence in elections. The Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. FEC threatens to tear apart the fabric of our democracy and grant powerful corporations unfettered influence in our political process. Tell congressional leaders to support and pass a constitutional amendment granting Congress the authority limit corporate influence in elections without delay. Sign PFAW's online petition now.

PROSECUTE BUSH CRIMES. Sign the petition at the Center for Constitutional Rights requesting various Bush officials be prosecuted for committing criminal acts. Also sign their letter to Sen. Leahy telling him that criminal prosecutions are necessary. Make sure you do both! Also download their factsheet to share with others [256k] and read the list that includes 182 people and organizations calling for prosecutions of top officals.

George W. Bush's '4th term'?
by GLENN THRUSH

Big Money and the NSA Scandal ... How Dangerous is the "Security/Digital Complex"?
by Richard Eskow
"It should be self-evident that recent NSA revelations bring up some grave concerns about civil liberties. But they also raise other profound and troubling questions - about the privatization of our military, our culture's inflated expectations for digital technology, and the increasingly cozy relationship between Big Corporations (including Wall Street) and Big Defense."

by David Sirota

Surveillance: A Threat to Democracy
by THE NYT EDITORIAL BOARD
"But Americans should not be fooled by political leaders putting forward a false choice. The issue is not whether the government should vigorously pursue terrorists. The question is whether the security goals can be achieved by less-intrusive or sweeping means, without trampling on democratic freedoms and basic rights."

5 things we still don’t know about the NSA “black hole”
Secrecy around its surveillance program means even basic questions have gone unanswered

by JUSTIN ELLIOTT AND THEODORIC MEYER

Making Alberto Gonzales Look Good
by ANDREW ROSENTHAL

Snowden deserves our sympathy
Government has too many of us convinced that the whistle-blower is somehow worse than the crimes he reports

by DAVID SIROTA
"First and foremost, the backlash reveals that Permanent Washington doesn’t work for We the People — it works to protect itself. We know this because whereas Snowden is vilified for disclosing information that’s inconvenient to Permanent Washington, those who leak classified information that is advantageous to Permanent Washington are left alone."

How NSA’s just like Wall Street
Neither is held accountable for its misdeeds, and both are destroying American democracy

by ROBERT REICH

The conventional wisdom is over-hyping recent events, and gets U.S. strategy wrong. Here's what's really happening

It's High Time We Abolished the Department of Homeland Security
by Thom Hartmann
" Returning to dozens of independent agencies will return internal checks-and-balances to within the Executive branch, and actually make us both safer and less likely to be the victims of government snooping overreach."

Obama's Dangerous Dilemma
by Robert Parry
"His dangerous dilemma is this: the planet is facing a rising tide of existential threats -- from widening income inequality to life-threatening global warming -- that require coordinated and aggressive responses from nation states and particularly the United States. But, simultaneously, his support for expanded government surveillance and national security secrecy are undermining trust in government."

Truth Over Truthiness Is Job One for Watchdog Journalists
by Dan Froomkin
"But there's another, maybe even more crucial form of watchdog reporting, especially in this age of relentless public relations and spin. It involves reporting what may well be in plain sight, contrasting that with what officials in government and other positions of power say, rebuffing and rebutting misinformation, and sometimes even taking a position on what the facts suggest is the right solution."

Dark Money Politics
by THOMAS B. EDSALL
"The flow of cash through organizations asserting tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(4) of the federal tax code has been rising exponentially, from just $5.2 million in 2006 to $310.8 million in 2012."

Clarity from Edward Snowden and Murky Response from Progressive Leaders in Congress

by Andy Kroll

by DAVID DAYEN

Worse Than Watergate? The Ultimate White House Scandal Matrix
by Dave Gilson
"But if you're interested in making a more subtle and perhaps accurate comparison, you need only refer to the United States' long history of White House scandals, starting in the first days of the republic."

Viewpoints: Justice and the court martial of Pte Manning
Accused Wikileaks leaker Pte First Class Bradley Manning has already pleaded guilty to 10 of 22 charges against him and faces up to 20 years in prison. So why is the US government still pursuing its prosecution, including on a charge of aiding the enemy, a capital crime?

by THE NYT EDITORIAL BOARD
"The administration has now lost all credibility on this issue. Mr. Obama is proving the truism that the executive branch will use any power it is given and very likely abuse it."

Bradley Manning and Our Real Secrecy Problem
by Denver Nicks
"By leaking three quarters of a million classified documents to WikiLeaks, Manning didn’t reveal all or even most of the United States’ secrets."

On whistleblowers and government threats of investigation
No healthy democracy can endure when the most consequential acts of those in power remain secret and unaccountable

by Glenn Greenwald
"They did not act with any self-interest in mind. The opposite is true: they undertook great personal risk and sacrifice for one overarching reason: to make their fellow citizens aware of what their government is doing in the dark. Their objective is to educate, to democratize, to create accountability for those in power."

NSA PRISM program taps in to user data of Apple, Google and others

Bradley Manning Is Guilty of "Aiding the Enemy" -- If the Enemy Is Democracy
by Norman Solomon
"But the prosecution of Manning is about carefully limiting the information that reaches the governed. Officials who run U.S. foreign policy choose exactly what classified info to dole out to the public."

"Ridiculous Manning Trial Proves Demand For Whistleblowers"
by RT TV

There Is A War On Ordinary People And Feminists Are Needed At The Front
by John Pilger

by MICHAEL LIND

There’s no substitute for government disaster relief
The Oklahoma tornado is just the latest reminder that we rely on the state to provide for us in our time of need

by DAVID SIROTA

by Stephen Lendman

Naming a Nameless War
by Andrew Bacevich

Bridges Shouldn't Have to Collapse for Congress to Get Serious About Infrastructure
by John Nichols

"42" and 44

"To me, the bottom line is this: If we move on now without fully documenting what occurred, without acknowledging the betrayal of our values, and without determining whether or not any laws have been broken, we cannot help but validate all that has gone on before. If we look at the Bush record and conclude that the book should simply be closed, we will be tacitly approving both the documented abuses and the additional misdeeds we will have chosen to leave uncovered." --Rep.John Conyers Chair of House Judiciary Committe, D-MI, January 3 1, 2009, Huffingtonpost.com
