Atlanta-based former 'Air America' operator now running 'Progressive Voices' | 
Atlanta resident Jon Sinton is an unabashed progressive voice who ran Air America in the mid-2000s and is now providing a similar venue in app form called "Progressive Voices." "Many people look at AM talk radio and we never have had the beachfront property," Sinton said. "We had these crummy little signals. Now we have a more even playing field on the Web. And as the automobile industry creates a truly connected car, Progressive Voices can be easily accessible through that venue." read on

Democracy Now | 
Rep. John Lewis, Civil Rights Icon, on the Struggle to Win, and Now Protect, Voting Rights in U.S. Today we spend the hour with 13-term Congressmember Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, one of the last surviving speakers from the historic 1963 March on Washington, D.C. - which took place 50 years ago this year. During the 1960s, Lewis was arrested more than 40 times and beaten nearly to death as he served as chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, marched side by side with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., helped organize the Freedom Rides, and campaigned for Robert Kennedy's presidential bid. |

Texas GOP Unleashes Political Quackery on Women's Reproductive Rights Get a grip, Rick Perry! by Jim Hightower | 
A few years ago, during consideration of a bill being pushed by a Republican elder in the Texas Senate, first-term Sen. Wendy Davis asked him a question about it. Rather than respond to this Democrat, this woman, the old bull replied dismissively, "I have trouble hearing women's voices."

| Defining Prosperity Down
by Paul Krugman NY Times |
Friday's employment report wasn't bad. But given how depressed our economy remains, we really should be adding more than 300,000 jobs a month, not fewer than 200,000. As the Economic Policy Institute points out, we would need more than five years of job growth at this rate to get back to the level of unemployment that prevailed before the Great Recession. Full recovery still looks a very long way off. And I'm beginning to worry that it may never happen.
Ask yourself the hard question: What, exactly, will bring us back to full employment?

The 10 Most Dangerous Places to be a Woman in America | From Texas to North Dakota, lawmakers are threatening the lives of women across the United States.  A 2011 law banning the "off-label" use of abortion-inducing drugs was blocked by a legal challenge, but is currently up for review by the Oklahoma Supreme Court, as the Los Angeles Times reports: "At issue ultimately is the meaning of the high court's 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood vs. Casey, which upheld a woman's right to choose abortion, but said states may regulate the practice, so long as they do not put an 'undue burden' on the patients or their doctors."
