Voting rights in America under attack Texas is only one of the states that have enacted voter ID requirements and other measures aimed at curbing voter registration and reducing the number of people able to vote, in the name of a fight against "vote fraud." There have been virtually no documented reports of voter impersonation, the type of fraud that could be prevented by a photo ID requirement.

Three anti-NATO protesters brought to Chicago court in chains In addition to the shackling, prosecutors refused to engage in the informal lawyer-to-lawyer communication that is usual in the criminal justice system.

The killing of Trayvon Martin The 911 transcripts clearly show that Zimmerman singled out Martin for attention because of his race and age. Cell phone conversations between Trayvon and his 16-year-old girlfriend in Miami show that, far from seeking a confrontation, the youth had become aware that he was being followed and was seeking to get away as fast as he could without drawing attention by running.

Afghanistan's My Lai The stench of Vietnam, the greatest-ever defeat of American imperialism, now hangs over the whole US-NATO intervention in Afghanistan. The puppet regime in Kabul, like its predecessor in South Vietnam, is the creation of a vast influx of American troops and American dollars. Anyone familiar with the history of the Vietnam War will recognize the process of corruption and decay that is the prelude to collapse.

Democrats propose cut in extended unemployment benefits For somewhat different electoral reasons, both big business parties seem prepared to allow the extended unemployment benefits to expire March 1, as they did on several occasions last year, only to be restored later. Aside from their electoral differences, both parties are committed to the reduction of unemployment benefits, as part of an overall attack on the working class.

Mitt Romney, Bain Capital and American Capitalism Obama is defending the same class interests as Romney, only with slightly different tactics. His aim is to use the purely verbal acknowledgement of social divisions to disarm working people politically and thus enable his administration, or its Republican successor, to continue and intensify the pro-corporate, anti-working class program which is the consensus of both parties.

Government of the rich, by rich and for the rich Working people are increasingly conscious that official Washington represents government of, by and for the rich. This political and social reality accounts for the dismal standing of Congress in the eyes of the public, with only 11 percent approving of the record of the current Congress according to one recent poll.

Obama Announces Us Troop Withdrawal From Iraq The US forces are being pulled out of Iraq only to facilitate the deployment of troops in many other countries around the world. Since Obama succeeded George W. Bush in the White House, after running a cynically false campaign posing as an "antiwar" candidate, he has greatly expanded the scope of US military operations around the world.
