By Stephen Lendman

Mass protests in Wisconsin continue. Tuesday was day eight. Involved are over 200,000 state workers and supporters, including students and teachers.

Is it not time that the United States revisited its Declaration of Independence or began to treat the 4th of July as a day of mourning?

It may be the case that the only hope for Dr Binayak Sen, for the people of violence ravaged Chhattisgarh, for the displaced millions, for hundreds of human rights activists and journalists who are being hounded by the Indian State
