The League of Women Voters of Ashland's panel discussion on "Homeless in Ashland" seemed to reach a consensus that the current paradigm of how services are provided doesn't have a solution. The leading promises are programs that give the homeless power and responsibility in providing services.

Puerto Rico: All Out to Defend the Teachers’ Struggle!
Internationalist Group, 17-02-2008 - 07:50
We are on the threshold of a major class battle in Puerto Rico. Every day new preparations are announced for the coming strike of the Puerto Rican Teachers Federation (FMPR). With 42,000 members, a majority of them women, the FMPR represents almost all of Puerto Rico’s teachers and is by far the largest union on the island. The Shock Force of the Puerto Rican Police and National Guard are being readied to go after the strikers. The struggle of the Puerto Rican teachers affects everybody. The working class as a whole, students and parents, teachers and defenders of workers’ rights around the world must come out in defense of the FMPR! If there are mass arrests, the response must be massive blockades and spreading the struggle to the point of shutting the island down. In order to win this strike, it is necessary to prepare for a struggle not only of the teachers but within the whole workers movement against the pro-capitalist labor bureaucracy that sabotages the workers’ struggle. Above all, it is necessary to fight against illusions in and ties with bourgeois parties and politicians. It’s high time to begin building a revolutionary internationalist workers party.

"LSSI Must Recognize Union"
Brain Labor Report radio show today, 2/15/08
http://www.kskq.org/brainlabor/?p=228
Today's show was one of the most fun ever! We highlighted the LSSI privatization of the Jackson County Library System and the newest development in this Orwellian saga. Enter the implication of the Successorship Doctrine. This is the federal law which mandates that union busting can not be done. Today's show had guest interviews with Buck Eichler who is President of the SEIU represented Jackson County Employees Association and with Pauline Black who is employed by LSSI as a Clerk at the Ashland, Oregon library. Because of the Successorship Doctrine Pauline Black will have a voice at work with union representation, again. And that stands for workers at ALL 15 libraries of the Jackson County Library System which are now being run by private corporation LSSI.

Santa Cruz Media Summit: Live this weekend Jan. 25-27

Update by Peter Phillips and David Kubiak
Many economists now doubt that government measures can prevent a
major recession given the severe slump in the housing market, the
subprime mortgage crisis, growing unemployment, declining consumer
spending, and record high oil prices. Even harder times for working
people are undoubtedly at hand, yet mainstream corporate media
continues to lavish more attention on the Super Bowl and celebrity
misadventures than measures to protect Americans from grave personal
economic harm. We are spun, mislead, propagandized and amused to
death by our media conglomerates and as a result the US has become
the best entertained and least informed society in the world.
