Trumped up charges of “vote fraud” against Reverend Edward Pinkney, a long-time resident and anti-corporate activist in Benton Harbor, and community leader James Cornelius, show that this country is crossing a nodal line. We are no longer able to challenge our own elected officials without fear of being arrested or imprisoned. The movement in Benton Harbor has been fighting the fascist Emergency Manager law and its corporate allied officials for years. The latest “vote fraud” charges are for leading an effort to recall Benton Harbor’s mayor, a puppet for the Whirlpool Corporation which is based there. The Emergency Manager law in Michigan is emerging as the center of the fascist assault sweeping the nation. It is a harbinger of the future of America if people do not act. Reverend Pinkney has become the face of resistance – resistance to the notion that the working class has no rights that the corporations are bound to respect.
