NationofChange Turns One! With a tiny staff and a shoestring budget we have managed to raise over $50,000 for progressive causes in this last year alone. Our little website has grown into a substantial player in this fight and we're just getting started.
Of course, none of this could have been or will be possible without your support.
This week, we're asking our readers to show their support for our organization by making a small tax-deductible donation. If you believe that organizations like NationofChange are crucial to our democracy, then give generously now. |

| ![]( "The") Beth Buczynski, Op-Ed: "We're told so often that we're a nation of consumers that we don't blink when the media use 'consumer' and 'person' interchangeably. Meanwhile, our citizen muscle has gotten flabby. There's no marketing campaign reminding us to engage as citizens. On the contrary, we're bombarded with lists of simple things we can buy or do to save the planet, without going out of our way or breaking a sweat."

|  Robert S. Becker, Op-Ed: "Romney's clumsy immaculate resignation stretches the political and philosophic envelope. What's next – proclamations of latter day infallibility (and Romney's a Mormon bishop), akin to the Pope on matters of dogma? Shameless dissembling from Romney is hardly news, as this blustery tycoon competes for the gold in the Flip-flopping Olympics. I certainly hope only saintly Mormon top-brass can refashion history."

|  Stephen Lacey, News Report: "There is basically an untapped fishery resource in the Arctic and the world has to decide how they are going to manage that. Are they going to manage it like all other international fisheries or, because it is this untapped resource is there the ability to do something different up there in that regard. Cruise Lines are starting to look at the Arctic as potential destinations. So really there is a big of a gold rush going on in the Arctic right now."

|  Dave Lindorff, Op-Ed: "Alex was a scourge of the capitalist elites and their fawning apologists in the corporate media, of course, but he also played an important role as a merciless critic of those so-called progressive journalists who lost their courage, sold out or were simply wrong on an issue. If it was just a matter of disagreeing about a specific issue -- say climate change, where Alex remained a skeptic -- he could be courteous and respectful in his dismissal of an argument, but woe to those, like the late Christopher Hitchens."

|  Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, Video Report: "Arctic Alaska has become the most contested land in recent U.S. history. But in addition to oil, natural gas and coal, the arctic is rich in biodiversity, and has been home to generations of indigenous people for thousands of years. We're joined by Subhankar Banerjee, a renowned photographer, writer and activist who has spent the past decade working to conserve the Arctic and raise awareness about human rights and climate change."

|  Special Coverage: "As we enter Day 308 of the Occupy movements the protests have spread not only across the country but all over the globe. Thousands of activists have descended on Wall Street these past weeks as part of the #OccupyWallStreet protest organized by several action groups. What follows is a live video stream and live Twitter feed of this event."

|  Ellen Brown, Op-Ed: State and local officials across the country are now meeting to determine their damages from interest rate swaps, which are held by about three-fourths of America's major cities. Damages from LIBOR rate-rigging are being investigated by Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, officers at CalPERS (California's public pension fund, the nation's largest), and hundreds of hospitals.

|  News Report: "Dr. Robert Tauxe, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's top food-germ investigator, has said the program's information can be key to pinpointing foods tied to outbreaks, and it could not easily be replaced by companies' internal tests or more modest federal sampling programs."

|  Jessica Cheung, News Report: "Today, only about 50 native languages are spoken in the state — but just barely. Half of those languages have a scant number of native speakers, most of whom are in their 80s. Around the world, one language dies every 14 days, according to a study done by National Geographic and the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages, which estimates that roughly half of the 7,000 world languages spoken today will disappear by the next century."
