Occupy Peace

David Krieger, Truthout: 'The Occupy movement is demonstrating its durability and perseverance. Like a Daruma doll, each time it is knocked off balance it serenely pops back up. The movement has been seeking justice for the 99 percent, and justice is an essential element of peace. For decades, our country has been in permanent preparation for war, spending over half of the total annual discretionary funds that Congress allocates on 'defense,' our euphemism for war.... We need to find a way to occupy peace, which begins in our hearts and must expand to encompass the world.'

Republicans in Indiana to Seek Law Limiting Unions

Monica Davey, The New York Times News Service: 'Republican leaders in Indiana on Monday declared as their top legislative priority making Indiana a 'right to work' state, setting the stage for a new battle over union rights that has already consumed many states. The proposal would prevent unions from negotiating contracts that would require workers to pay union dues. The notion instantly set off objections from the state s union leaders, who said the true aim was to weaken labor unions, and from Democratic lawmakers, some of whom had left the state for more than a month early this year in an effort to block similar provisions.'
