With polls showing an even split among voters on the question of removing him, attention turns to a potential shocker in the Golden State.

Depending on what news station you watch, you might think that one party is the savior and the other, the enemy, of our sacred right to vote. But what if a larger battle is being waged to secure our right to vote? A battle that threatens insiders on both sides of the partisan political aisles? A battle ignored by a mainstream media that has embedded itself in partisan rhetoric? A battle that would expose the hypocrisy of both parties? From Alaska to New York and Maine, there has been an unprec

After more than a year of economic suffering that has left millions of Americans reeling from the devastating effects of unemployment, the end finally appears to be in sight. While the upward trends that we are experiencing are certainly promising, there is a misguided misconception that there are already enough quality jobs out there, and employees simply need to return to work.
