Corporate Personhood Should Be Banned, Once and For All
By Ralph Nader
This corporatist, anti-voter decision is so extreme that it should galvanize a grassroots effort to enact a Constitutional Amendment to once and for all end corporate personhood and curtail the corrosive impact of big money on politics.

How Wall St Destroyed Private Medicine
By Paul Craig Roberts
The U.S. is creating a "health care" system that is more costly and less efficient than single-payer national health systems. But it will enrich corporations and provide play for Wall Street.

Obama Disconnected
A movement is a terrible thing to waste.
By Micah Sifry
Despite Obama's explicit promises, the people who voted for him weren't organized in any kind of new or powerful way, and the special interests - banks, energy companies, health interests, carmakers, the military-industrial complex - sat first at the table and wrote the menu.

Obama at One: Little Surprising in Absence of Progressive Social Movement
