Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: 'The campaign of Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain took another hit on Monday when a fourth woman emerged to accuse him of sexual harassment in the 1990s. But the allegations of sexual harassment are not the only controversies surrounding Cain. Also on Monday, the Wisconsin-based Center for Media and Democracy filed a complaint asking the Internal Revenue Service to investigate whether one of his top aides has used tens of thousands of dollars from a tax-exempt nonprofit organization to fund Cain s political activities.'

Dina Rasor, Truthout: 'Changing the way we price weapons could cut billions, but will the entrenched Department of Defense bureaucracy allow it? 'Forget about what it does cost or what it will cost, we are talking about what it should cost,' said Shay Assad. With that bold quote, Department of Defense (DoD) Director of Defense Pricing Shay Assad, claimed in an interview last week to truly change the DoD s traditional way of pricing weapons - historical costs that have allowed weapons to be grossly priced for years.'

'Corporations Are Not People': Activists Push Amendment to Revoke 'Corporate Personhood'

Video

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: 'After an Election Day that saw a number of wins for progressive causes nationwide, activists opposed to 'corporate personhood' - the notion that corporations have equal rights to individuals - are pushing ahead with a campaign to add a 28th amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would reject the idea that corporations are people and reverse the 2010 landmark case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. In a 5-to-4 vote, the Court ruled corporations have First Amendment rights and that the government cannot impose restrictions on their political speech, clearing the way for corporations and other special interest groups to spend unlimited amounts of money on elections. We speak to John Bonifaz, a constitutional attorney and co-founder and director of Free Speech for People.'

Ohio Labor Movement Defeats Anti-Union Bill and Its Wealthy Supporters

Mike Ludwig, Truthout: 'Ohio s labor movement is celebrating today after voters dealt a hefty blow to Republican Gov. John Kasich on Tuesday by overwhelmingly voting to repeal an anti-collective bargaining law he championed during the past year. Ohioans voted to repeal Senate Bill 5 (SB 5) by a margin of 61 to 38 percent. SB 5 would have limited collective bargaining rights for more than 350,000 public workers in Ohio and increased health care and pension costs for some workers.'

Occupy Movement Inspires Unions to Embrace Bold Tactics

Steven Greenhouse, The New York Times News Service: 'Organized labor s early flirtation with Occupy Wall Street is starting to get serious. Union leaders, who were initially cautious in embracing the Occupy movement, have in recent weeks showered the protesters with help - tents, air mattresses, propane heaters and tons of food. The protesters, for their part, have joined in union marches and picket lines across the nation. About 100 protesters from Occupy Wall Street are expected to join a Teamsters picket line at the Sotheby s auction house in Manhattan on Wednesday night to back the union in a bitter contract fight.'

Occupy movement is spreading and growing

Our Future
by Dave Johnson

11/08/11

Our captured government won t do its job. It doesn t keep Wall Street and banks and giant corporations from ripping us off and doesn t prosecute them after they do. It doesn t stop polluters - even as the effects of climate change increase. It doesn t enforce employment and labor laws, so all of us who work fall further and further behind. It doesn t take care of those in need even as more and more of us are in greater and greater need. It just helps the connected rich get richer. So people finally got fed up, and started 'occupying'...

Occupy Northwest: Seattle

David Bacon, Truthout: 'Seattle is the first Occupy I have seen whose banners refer to it as a 'plantain,' giving credit to the social movements of Mexico, Central America, the Philippines, and other countries for the tactic of living in tents in public spaces as a protest tactic. The US has its own history of occupations, especially factory sit-ins, but for anyone who s walked through Mexico City s Zocalo, the sight of tents full of protesters is very familiar.'
