| Koch-Cain Connection: IRS Urged To Probe Ties Between Cain Campaign & Wealthy Koch Brothers | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on Nov 8, 2011 www.democracynow.org - The campaign of Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain took another hit on Monday when a fourth woman emerged to accuse him of sexual harassment in the 1990s. But the allegations of sexual harassment are not the only controversies surrounding Cain. Also on Monday, the Wisconsin-based Center for Media and Democracy filed a complaint asking the Internal Revenue Service to investigate whether one of his top aides has used tens of thousands of dollars from a tax-exempt non-profit organization to fund Cain's political activities. Citing leaked financial records, the Center says Cain's campaign manager, Mark Block, used at least $40,000 dollars from his group, Prosperity USA, to pay for Cain's private jets, air travel and computers when he was exploring a presidential bid. Block founded Prosperity USA just last year. The leaked records cited in the complaint also suggest extensive financial ties between Block's Prosperity USA, the Cain campaign, and the right-wing advocacy group founded by the billionaire David Koch, Americans for Prosperity. Block stepped down from heading the Wisconsin arm of "Americans for Prosperity" to run Cain's campaign. Democracy Now! speaks with Lisa Graves, executive director of the Center for Media and Democracy, about its request that the IRS to investigate the group's tax-exempt status, and other ways Block may have been funneling money to political campaigns. | |

| 10,000 Surround White House to Protest Keystone XL Tar Sands Oil Pipeline | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on Nov 7, 2011 www.democracynow.org - More than 10,000 protesters surrounded the White House on Sunday calling on President Obama to reject the proposed Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline from Canada to the Gulf Coast. The protest came exactly a year before the 2012 election and the pipeline is shaping up to be a major political issue. Last week, President Obama said for the first time he will make the final decision on whether to approve the controversial 1,700-mile pipeline proposed by TransCanada, which would transport oil from the Alberta tar sands fields to refineries in Texas. Up until now, Obama said the final decision rested with the State Department. "[Sunday protest] really underlines this has become not only the biggest environmental flash point in many years, but maybe the issue in recent times in the Obama administration when he has been most directly confronted by people in the street," said leading environmentalist Bill McKibben, a key organizer in the protest, to Democracy Now! Nov. 7. | |
