http://silverunderground.com

At current metal prices it costs 2.4 cents to make a penny and 11.2 cents to make a nickel. This week President Obama asked Congress for permission to change the mix of metal that goes into these coins, because apparently the zinc and tinfoil they’re made of now is just too expensive.

To Eric Holder: Stop Lying About The PATRIOT Act

From Senators Ron Wyden and Mark Udall: Law enforcement is using a secret interpretation of the PATRIOT Act to spy on people who aren't connected with terrorism.

http://exm.nr

Are you an activist? Have you ever broken a story using social networking? Twitter and Facebook are tools many of us use on a regular basis to speak to our friends, our family, and even people with the same ideals. Many times people seem to forget that their friends and family are not the only ones monitoring what they are saying.

This morning there was a Congressional hearing where the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) discussed their social media monitoring project.

A Town Takes on Police Militarization

http://www.huffingtonpost.com

"We're going to have our own tank." That's what Keene, N.H., Mayor Kendall Lane whispered to Councilman Mitch Greenwood during a December city council meeting.
It's not quite a tank. But the quaint town of 23,000 -- scene of just two murders since 1999 -- had just accepted a $285,933 grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to purchase a Bearcat, an eight-ton armored personnel vehicle made by Lenco Industries Inc.
But those plans are on hold for now, thanks to a backlash from feisty residents.

Until Debt Do Us Part: The Business of Modern-Day Grave Robbery

http://www.creditcardassist.com

When Karyn Howard’s father passed away in 2008, she was convinced that it would be one of the hardest things she’d ever have to deal with. Little did she know that a call from Bank of America a few days later was about to make the ordeal much, much worse.

The systematic process of harassing people for debts they don't owe is something the banking industry is becoming known for. It keeps happening because collection departments are able to intimidate people into paying debts of deceased loved ones -- despite the fact that by law, they don't have to pay.
