22 Vets Commit Suicide Every Day
According to a recent VA report, 22 veterans commit suicide every day. If only the happy-go-lucky warmongers among us could see a little more clearly when they holler “Support our troops!” while sending 19-year-old Americans to distant countries to kill and be killed for no good reason.

Live Video Feed for the “Occupy Wall Street” Protest

New “Dollar Bill Protest” is Gaining Momentum
These bills are showing up everywhere now. And the amazing thing is, the statement above is true. You may recall the recent public discussion about which large corporations have paid no taxes in recent years, largely because of loopholes put in place by Republican legislators. For example, General Electric paid no taxes at all in 2009. Not a small amount. Not a low rate. They literally did not pay a dollar.
This is the sort of protest that one can engage in from the comfort of one’s own home, with a glass of ice tea at one’s elbow. Of course, defacing money is a crime, so PoliticalLoudmouth would never sanction such a thing. Sugar and lemon for you?
New Talking Points: “Labor Peace is a Crazy Liberal Idea”
A new guest post by Dr. William Turner. Visit his web site
Everyone’s favorite new, “libertarian” United States Senator, Rand Paul, has taken to distributing a petition in support of his “Right to Work Act,” stating, inter alia, that “This forced unionism breeds violent strikes.” With this statement, Paul demonstrates nothing but his profound ignorance of U.S. history.
New Poster: “Gaia Say Fight: You Are Our Secret Weapon Against The War on Women”
The recent War on Women waged by the American Trailer Park Patriarchs Party is, of course, just the most recent skirmish in a virulent campaign that has being going on at least since a certain Bronze Age thug/goatherd first intoned, “Look, it’s Yahweh or the highway.”
Now, the planet herself is waking and says to you, “Rise up, my children. I am with you. I will strengthen your arm. Strike a blow for freedom. Yours…and mine.”

New Poster: “Should You Have to Prove To the IRS That You Were Raped?”
Should rape and incest survivors be forced to prove that they were assaulted to the IRS? Amazingly, the Republicans in the House of Representatives have answered with a resounding “Yes!” HR 3, the bill that includes this provision, has now passed in the House.
Here’s how it would work: HR 3 imposes tax penalties on small businesses and individuals who buy abortion coverage with their OWN money—with exceptions only for cases of rape, incest, or when a woman’s life is in danger.
The result? Survivors of rape and incest who seek abortions could be forced to detail their assaults and provide proof to IRS investigators.
Tell the Senate to stand up against this terrible bill, and speak out against the Republican war on women. Please sign the MoveOn.org petition today.

New Essay: “Egalitarianism Was a Crazy Liberal Idea”
In last few decades, American conservatives have worked hard to put about the idea that liberals are elitists. To a surprising degree, they have been successful, at least with some portions of the population. How did this happen? And where did idea that we should treat our fellow citizens equally really come from?
Find out in this brisk and brief essay by guest blogger and legal historian Dr. William Turner.

The organization which hosted the “Rediscover God In America” conference, United in Purpose, has edited Huckabee’s comment from the publicly-released footage of his speech, but not before People For The American Way’s Kyle Mantyla captured the unedited footage.

The Heart of Wisconsin Still Beats Strong
The Republican Party in Wisconsin is making a last-ditch effort to circumvent the will of the people by engineering what many consider to be an illegal act: A hasty severing of the budget bill to create a pure union-buster that the Senate Republicans passed this evening in a hasty, after-hours session. Time to rise up, sisters and brothers!

No American Sharia
There’s a wave of legislative attacks on women’s rights happening right now. The current move by a small group of older males to seize control of the lives and sexuality of all women is gathering force, and the intent is as ugly as that of any Bronze Age patriarch.
OHIO: Republicans are launching five separate bills aimed at restricting access to abortions, including a controversial measure banning the procedure as early as six weeks after conception.” One proposed law would outlaw abortions from the moment a fetus’ heartbeat is detected.
SOUTH DAKOTA: Legislation seeks to redefine the definition of “justifiable homicide” to the defense of an “unborn child.” Abortion-rights advocates immediately described the pending statute as “an invitation to murder abortion providers.”
IOWA: A panel of the state House Human Resources Committee approved language that would criminalize doctors who perform abortions.
FLORIDA: An ordained minister, who is also a Republican lawmaker, has introduced the Florida For Life Act, which seeks to outlaw most abortions.
MONTANA, OKLAHOMA, FLORIDA, TEXAS, IOWA, NORTH DAKOTA: New “personhood” bills define “personhood” at a fetus’s earliest moments – even earlier than the current test set forth by the Supreme Court.
NATIONAL: One bill would prevent women from purchasing insurance that includes abortion coverage in the new insurance exchanges even if they’re using their own money. This kind of restriction could lead to insurance companies dropping abortion coverage entirely. The same bill would also levy a special tax on small businesses and individuals who purchase insurance coverage that includes abortion. Another bill would, incredibly, allow hospitals to turn away a woman seeking an abortion, even if she’ll die without it—a major change from current law.
