FBI Documents on Senator Paul Wellstone Raise Questions about His Death 8 Years Ago Minnesota Public Radio has obtained the FBI record of the late Senator Paul Wellstone of Minnesota, who died in a plane crash eight years ago this week. The records show the FBI first tracked Wellstone in 1970 after he was arrested at an anti-Vietnam War protest. The records might also raise new questions about the plane crash that killed Wellstone, his wife, his daughter and three staffers. The National Transportation Safety Board determined the crash was caused by pilot error, but the FBI documents reveal for the first time that specific criminal leads were pursued by investigators. Listen/Watch/Read "Free Speech for People" Coalition Calls for Constitutional Amendment to Overturn Citizens United Decision Allowing Unlimited Corporate Spending on Elections Part of the reason for the record-high campaign spending in this year's midterm elections is the Supreme Court's January ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. In a 5-4 decision, the Court ruled corporations have First Amendment rights and that the government cannot impose restrictions on their political speech, which cleared the way for corporations and other special interest groups to spend unlimited amounts of money on elections. Earlier this month, a group of more than fifty law professors and prominent attorneys issued a letter calling on Congress to consider a constitutional amendment to overturn the decision. We speak with two people involved with Free Speech for People, a coalition of public interest organizations that formed after the Citizens United ruling. Listen/Watch/Read Pollster Nate Silver and Author Ari Berman on "Third Straight Anti-Incumbent Election" Candidates are entering the final few days of campaigning in what may turn out to be one of the more interesting midterm elections in recent decades. Most polls are forecasting Republicans will take control of the House, while Democrats are expected to hold on to the Senate, which would result in a rare split Congress. We speak to New York Times pollster and FiveThirtyEight.com founder Nate Silver, and Ari Berman, political correspondent for The Nation magazine and the author of the new book Herding Donkeys: The Fight to Rebuild the Democratic Party and Reshape American Politics.

Rhodes was last heard in the market when the station served as the New York flagship of the now-defunct Air America Radio. "New York! I missed you! Thank you WWRL for bringing me back home," stated Rhodes, a Brooklyn native. The Progressive Talk outlet is also home to syndicated radio talkers Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann, Al Sharpton, Bev Smith, Leslie Marshall and Phil Hendrie. | | Muslim Democratic Caucus identify voters ! | | Muslim Democratic Caucus of Texas identified 25,000 registered Muslim voters in four North Texas count ies and have ALREADY sent out over 10,000 mailings (limilted by lack of funds!) and hope to complete individual phone calls and/or robocalls to that many more well before November 2 urging them to "VOTE STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC! We strive to encourage every Muslim Texan to vote and to vote Democratic. From Inayat Lalani, Director of Communications, MDC-TX. | | Al Franken presents the "ditch" speech | |

YouTube shut down Texas Gov. Rick Perry's "Liberal Bill" YouTube channel because of "multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement," according to the website. Perry's and several other campaigns have incorporated popular music into online ads this election cycle. Though they would pay high fees to use songs by U2, the Beatles and Marvin Gaye in TV commercials, most Texas candidates haven't secured the rights to use music by those musicians for Web-only videos. | | | | By FRANK RICH | | ONE dirty little secret of the 2010 election is that it won't be a political tragedy for Democrats if a Tea Party icon like Sharron Angle or Joe Miller ends up in the United States Senate. Angle, now synonymous with racist ads sliming Hispanics, and Miller, already on record threatening a government shutdown, are fired up and ready to go as symbols of G.O.P. extremism for 2012 and beyond. What's not so secret is that some Republicans will be just as happy if some of these characters lose, and for the same reason. But whatever Tuesday's results, this much is certain: The Tea Party's hopes for actually effecting change in Washington will start being dashed the morning after. The ordinary Americans in this movement lack the numbers and financial clout to muscle their way into the back rooms of Republican power no matter how well their candidates perform.

| | Meet and Greet the Troops | |  World Affairs Council Volunteer Activity
On Saturday, November 6, volunteers from the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth are heading to D/FW Airport to meet U.S. troops coming home from active duty. The troop meet and greets are organized by the Rest and Relaxation Program (R&R) with the goal of encouraging and supporting our deployed military. Because many of the troops are going on to connecting flights, many don't have family and friends to greet them at their initial arrival into the U.S. The R&R Program provides a much appreciated welcome for men and women in uniform.
