Sanders and Representative Keith Ellison: ***Stop using our tax dollars
to subsidize pollution.***

article. Robert Reich - As technology and globalization take over the economy, the U.S. has no national strategy for creating more good jobs in America.
The
most important website this weekend and in weeks to come -- on which
the hopes and fears of countless Americans are focused (and the
President's poll-ratings depend) -- isn't HealthCare.gov. It's
Amazon.com. Even if HealthCare.gov works perfectly, only 5 percent of
Americans are in the private health-insurance market to begin with. But
almost half of the 140 million Americans now shopping for holiday deals
are doing so online, up 20 percent from last year.
The irony is most of what's being sold this holiday season is coming from Asia, which leaves retail jobs as the largest and fastest-growing segment of the U.S. workforce. Yet as online shopping takes over, where will Americans find jobs in the future? The biggest reason holiday deal-shopping is especially frenzied is so many Americans are already stretched to the breaking point (65 percent are now living paycheck-to-paycheck, up from 61 percent last year) that they're more desperate than ever for bargains. And the main reason the President's poll-ratings are falling isn't because of HealthCare.gov. It's because the economy remains lousy for most people. It will likely remain that way: As technology and globalization take over the economy, the U.S. has no national strategy for creating more good jobs in America.

- Will Gov. Tomblin be held accountable for this fiasco over a call to
end mountaintop removal? “Ask him why is it that he doesn’t want to
simply analyze this dust,” said Goldman Prize winner and Ohio Valley
Environmental Coalition community organizer Maria Gunnoe. “Why put a man
in jail because he delivered the toxic dust and ask to have it
analyzed?”

"Students
from the UBC Social Justice Centre are calling on EVERYONE to stand in
solidarity with the land defenders in Elsipogtog. An injunction has been
issued by the New Brunswick provincial court which effectively denies
Elsipogtog and their supporters their right as Canadian citizens to
protest. The RCMP are being used to protect private interests, using
force to silence peaceful protests".
