A Collective of Interesting Article Links, Petition Links and Photos... Minimal Personal Commentary

I have taken a break for a bit - but I'm back with what I think are some important article links and petition links that in a collective way seem to (my opinion) say it (Here is a test; can you read between the lines?) all:

Is this (a quote from the article above) even legal????

"[Rick] Santorum received roughly half a million dollars in cash and stock options for his services on the UHS board...  In 2010 Santorum took home a substantial windfall:  $168,069.  And on Jan. 19, 2011, he received stock options valued at $174,126, Securities and Exchange records show.  The company and its CEO have also contributed thousands to Santorum's political action committee and his campaigns over the years..."  [Santorum has since resigned from the UHS board - and is a candidate in the running for the US presidency...]
