Some of these articles first appeared on WeElectedYou.org. Below you’ll find hundreds of pages of text; if you’d like a little guidance on which newsletters to read, start with the Autumn 2007 issue, which stated that the great mortgage mess of 2008 was already unfolding, and Autumn 2008—after it had actually unfolded. Then open Summer and Autumn, 2010. If you’re still having fun, take a look at January and Summer, 2012.
