In Service to Power: A First Read of Michelle Obama's Speech Adam Richmond 2012-09-09 3:18 AM
As the U.S. sinks further and further into economic decline, with 23 million people unemployed or underemployed and one report after another detailing the everyday sense of dread the average working class family faces with a declining standard of living, cuts to education and vital services for those most in need, the tightly controlled spectacle called the Democratic National Convention featured First Lady Michelle Obama on Tuesday, September 4th. The convention appeared little different than parties built on the personality cult of the Great Leader upon whom all aspirations are placed. There was little to distinguish the Democratic National Convention from the gross rubber stamp party congresses of the old Stalinist parties, with functionaries clapping in approval, on cue, for popular consumption.

- Casa Pueblo de Adjuntas “Exigimos al Cuerpo de Ingenieros a no jugar de cómplices de un esquema para defraudar a los abonados de la AEE y a que denieguen el permiso al gasoducto del norte donde el propio proponente aceptó que sería un tubo sin gas”, así arremetió Arturo Massol Deyá junto miembros de la Comisión Técnica y Científica de Casa Pueblo, el licenciado Pedro Saadé de la Clínica de Asistencia Legal de la UPR y el congresista Luis Gutiérrez desde Washington DC.
