WI Elections Board Says Ending Same-Day Registration Would Cost Over $5 Million | PR Watch
For almost 40 years Wisconsin law has provided for same-day voter

record of consistently high voter turnout. On November 6, 2012 in
Milwaukee alone 54,000 people were registered to vote at the polls. But

Alberta queue jumping inquiry hears senior AHS managers were asked to keep tabs on VIPs
Former Capital Health CEO Sheila Weatherill required senior
managers to “keep tabs” on prominent people, donors and VIPs who came in
for care in hospitals and emergency rooms, the provincial inquiry into
queue jumping heard Thursday. Brigitte McDonough, former director of
clinical care, was among senior managers who took turns taking nightly
calls at the University of Alberta Hospital. She said she regularly
received calls from Weatherill’s office — about one every two months —
telling them that a VIP, at times a donor to the hospital system, was in
the hospital and asked the manager to check

Daily soft drink serving boosts aggressive prostate cancer risk
by 40 percent
Thursday, December 13, 2012 by: John Phillip
(NaturalNews) Nearly one-quarter of a million men will be diagnosed with
some stage of prostate cancer this year in the U.S., and many will
suffer the unnecessary consequences of invasive treatment techniques

cancer incidence is closely related to dietary and lifestyle practices
over the course of many years and decades of life. New re

Monti’s Exit: Predictable?
Some of the big news out of Europe this week surrounded Mario

Electoral College Shakeup
As partisans sift through data from the 2012 presidential elections,
the impact of our current Electoral College rules is getting particular
scrutiny, as is the potential impact of changing those rules before the

Given that the Constitution gives states plenary authority over how to
allocate their electors, considering changes to those rules is not an

From Finucane to Mohamed, the story remains the same.
The report by Sir Desmond de Silva into the murder of Patrick
