Obama's recently passed Health Care "Reform" Bill, and Christopher Dodd's proposed Financial "Reform" legislation most recently exemplify the pro-corporate credentials of the Democratic party, solidifying their place as the US ruling class' Team B. We then offer the hip-hop song that got Spc. Marc Hall imprisoned and facing a court martial, when he dared to call out the US Army's disingenuous "stop-loss" policy, which forces members of the US Army to remain in the service beyond their contracted enlistments. We expose the the full extent of Israel's plans for East Jerusalem, which seeks to effectively alter "facts on the ground", and displace any hope of the "Peace Process". We highlight the proposed legislation in Arizona which if passed will make every undocumented worker in the state a criminal "trespasser". Lastly, we feature a day in Revolutionary History, March 25th, and remember the horror of one of America's worst industrial disasters, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.
