Bill Moyers: 'Our Politicians Are Money Launderers in the Trafficking of Power and Policy'

Bill Moyers, Truthout: 'We hold elections, knowing they are unlikely to produce the policies favored by the majority of Americans. We speak, we write, we advocate - and those in power turn deaf ears and blind eyes to our deepest aspirations. We petition, plead, and even pray - yet the earth that is our commons, which should be passed on in good condition to coming generations, continues to be despoiled. We invoke the strain in our national DNA that attests to 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' as the produce of political equality - yet private wealth multiplies as public goods are beggared.'

Lessons From the Original Occupation: Gina Ray, Wisconsin State Capitol Police

Mary Bottari, Truthout: 'On February 11, 2011, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker introduced a bill that would limit the collective bargaining rights of public employees, require 100 percent voter participation in union recertification and end the state s practice of withholding and reimbursing union dues. The bill was perceived as a death blow to public employee unions and prompted massive, sustained and peaceful protests inside and outside the Wisconsin State Capitol in the winter of 2011.'

Occupy the Koch Brothers - and Stop the American Nightmare

Isaiah J. Poole, Campaign for America s Future: 'The very name of a Washington conservative conference this weekend is the height of subterfuge. It s called the 'Defending the American Dream' conference, which is not about defending the actual American dreams of most Americans (the focus of our own 'Take Back the American Dream' conference), sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, which is not an organization that promotes what is needed for broad American prosperity.'
