The country now recognizes water as a basic human right, and has struggled in the past with multinational corporations attempting to make a profit off the people's needs.

• Bill Fletcher Jr., Bolivia's Water, BP and Afghanistan

  June 9, 2010

Lincoln, of course, is one of the Democrats whose refusal to support the Employee Free Choice Act keeps labor from expanding its base. Labor came out for Bill Halter, but the party elites supported Lincoln and helped her keep her seat.
