	Issue Activism
Message-ID: <4C9B86E7-938D-468F-99DC-8675C3572C31@mac.com>

Dear folks,

Please send this to any lists you have.

Thanks 
Ed Oberweiser
OPC Chair


Title: Reasserting Community Rights: Going Beyond Single Issue Activism

Are you frustrated by the apparent inability of local communities to stop corporate destruction of the natural world (unnecessary road building, fracking, sludge dumping on farmland, bottling and removal of water from local rivers, use of toxic pesticides in forests, oil drilling in pristine areas, etc.)? Are you wondering why the public seems to be powerless to stop these abuses of corporate power? 

This workshop will illuminate how and why the law has been used to progressively expand corporate powers. It will also provide a new and proven way to reestablish community rights, the power of community self-determination, and the power to stop destructive practices through local ordinance writing. Used in more than 160 communities in ten states across the USA, local ordinances are enabling local communities to assert their right to protect
themselves and nature from corporate domination and control. 

The California Constitution says:"All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for the protection, security, and benefit of the people; and they have the right to alter or reform the same, whenever the public good may require it."

Well-known community rights organizer, and partner with the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF.org), Paul Cienfuegos will be leading this intensive two-day workshop at the Community Center of Mendocino (998 School St., in the town of Mendocino), on President?s Day weekend -- February 15-16, 2014. This two full day event includes two potluck lunches. Paul is the founder of Democracy Unlimited in Humboldt County, which models new ways of working on a variety of ecological and social justice issues such as forest clear-cutting, weakening organic food labeling standards, and big box store take-over of local business. He also co-founded CommunityRightsPDX.org, which is Portland Oregon?s first community rights organization. More information about his 38 years of local activism, and the many workshops and presentations that he has delivered across the country, can be found at PaulCienfuegos.com.

The last workshop delivered by Paul, a few months ago in Willits, was over-subscribed and filled up fast. To make sure you have a place in this one, you must register in advance. There is a sliding scale fee based on income, ranging from $60 to $260. To sign-up, contact Charles Cresson Wood, with Mendocino Coast Transition Towns, at ccwood at ix.netcom.com or 707-937-5572. This event is co-sponsored by the Alliance for Democracy, Mendocino Coast Chapter of Move to Amend,  Community Rights Organization Willits (CROW) and the Ocean Protection Coalition.

ELLEN HODGSON BROWN,
Acclaimed author and president of the Public Banking Institute, will speak in Mendocino December 15, 7:00 pm at Crown Hall. Brown?s two most recent books are ?The Web of Debt: The Shocking Truth About Our Money System and How We Can Break Free,? and ?The Public Bank Solution: From Austerity to Prosperity.? Her talk is part of the Mendocino County Public Banking Coalition?s educational campaign, leading up to the June 2014 election when voters will have a chance to make Mendocino California?s 15th Charter County. California law requires that counties have a charter in order to have a public bank and manage their own money. Why do governments store their money in private, for-profit banks? In 2008 it became obvious that private banks do not necessarily serve the best interests of their depositors.
On the other hand, a public bank has only one depositor?the government?and the returns on its investments are used to benefit the citizens of the state or county instead of private shareholders. A public bank can increase liquidity by partnering with community banks and credit unions, and can reduce county debt service by underwriting public infrastructure projects. Although 40% of the banks in the world are public banks, the Bank of North Dakota is currently the only public bank in the USA. It remained strong and solvent while the rest of the country was falling into recession. In her talk, Ellen Brown will explain why and how we can start our own publicly owned bank. She will also answer questions from the audience after her presentation. This is a free event but donations are appreciated to cover expenses.

Subject: [Occupymendocino] fracking public comment
Message-ID: <CAFGqSt4m4AWGhxWbHWjuWTzyra8=6+tO+wPV5KJ_aSanV5E=NQ@mail.gmail.com>

It's a new year, but California's still fracked. And during the next few
days, we have an opportunity to say something about it to those who are
*supposed* to be in charge of oil drilling in California.

*There are only a few days left to make a public comment on proposed
fracking regulations. Tell California's Department of Conservation it's
time for a moratorium on fracking in California.
<http://act.ecovote.org/site/R?i=EhkCaY0GMs8RFHZwrcr1Sg>*

Right now, the California Department of Conservation's Division of Oil, Gas
& Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) is accepting public comment on their
proposed regulations for fracking and other risky drilling techniques
including acidizing.

But* the official public commenting period ends soon.
<http://act.ecovote.org/site/R?i=mlBxqommQNAFm_1ybYS4Ww>*


*Submit your comment here:http://ecovote.org/Fracking ?
<http://act.ecovote.org/site/R?i=XL-orCfu7yWCIUpwZQkx4A>*

This is the bottom line: *the proposed regulations are weak and prioritize
oil industry profits over protecting our environment.* They just don't go
far enough to protect our environment and the health and safety of our
communities from risky fracking. *We are asking Governor Jerry Brown to use
his authority to impose a moratorium on fracking in California.*

*Submit your public comment
now.*<http://act.ecovote.org/site/R?i=NrintRcr0YOCWVAbUQrTEw> It
will take only a moment to tell the Department of Conservation it's time
for a moratorium on fracking in
California.*http://ecovote.org/Fracking
?*<http://act.ecovote.org/site/R?i=haXBH2tmMxmDCRepCf5Dag>

The Department's proposed regulations, which are scheduled to go into
effect on January 1, 2015, address issues such as groundwater testing,
monitoring, public notice, and permitting. The Department has emergency
regulations in place to address these issues in the interim. The proposed
regulations are important steps in the right direction, and are being
implemented thanks to efforts by advocates for the environment and public
health safety to put a check on the oil industry.

*But Californians have already waited far too long for protections from
fracking. *The fracking bill that passed the legislature and was signed by
the governor, SB 4, was severely weakened with last-minute amendments from
the oil industry. Many environmental groups that had previously supported
the legislation, including CLCV, pulled our support for the bill after the
bad amendments were added.

In the absence of adequate legislation to protect Californians from
dangerous fracking and acidizing techniques, *we ask Governor Brown to use
his existing authority to immediately impose a moratorium on fracking and
acidizing. Submit your public comment now, and tell the Department of
Conservation that we need an immediate moratorium to protect our
communities from the risks of fracking.
<http://act.ecovote.org/site/R?i=on5xlSH34yJzxwO8IK2LBw>*

Thank you for adding your voice to this important public conversation about
how to protect California's people, natural resources, and climate from
expanded fracking in our state!

Sincerely,

Jenesse E. Miller

Hi,
  I just checked my Facebook page and saw that in the newspaper, El Sol Bilingue (edited by Annie Esposito), there is a front page article about Ellen Brown titled, Should Mendocino County have a Public Bank?  We should definitely try to get a copy. Maybe it is available online?   
   This is a great link to the Latin American community.;

*The Collapse of an UnfathomableAmount of Businesses, Alongthe Pacific Rim

ForbiddenKnowldgeTV
Alexandra Bruce
December 27, 2013

This shocking video was taken December 23rd 2013 with a quality Geiger
Counter at Pacifica State Beach (Surfers Beach), California.

Background radiation is 30 CPM. Near the ocean it's 150 CPM. The fine mist
coming from the ocean waves seems to be what makes the Geiger Counter jump.
More thorough readings need to be done! Where is the useless
government/media?

We all must come to the realization that swimming in the Pacific Ocean (let
alone eating anything out of it) is a thing in the past. And it's only
going to get worse, as it's unstoppable. This is by far the worst man-made
disaster in human history, and our garbage media and government say nothing.

They're saying nothing because the fear more the collapse of an
unfathomable amount of businesses along the Pacific Rim than they do the
endless carcinogenic war of attrition that = elevated background radiation
upon individuals who are exposed.

>From the Inspector Geiger Counter's user manual: "CPM (or CPS) and total
counts are the most direct methods of measurement; mR/hr (or uSv/hr) is
calculated using a conversion factor optimized for Cesium-137, so this mode
is less accurate for other radionuclides, unless you have calibrated the
"geiger counter" for a specific radionuclide using an appropriate source.
It is more appropriate to measure alpha and beta activity using CPM than
using mR/hr. Conversion for alpha and beta emitters is calcuated
differently, and the "geiger counters" reading in mR/hr may not be
accurate."???

Here are a couple of websites that have lots of information on Fukushima radiation in the Pacific, and much more as well.
?
http://www.whoi.edu/main/topic/fukushima-radiation
?
www.beyondnuclear.org
?
Our senior nuclear physicist, Dr. Edwin Lyman, wrote the following in response to the many inquiries at the UCS Facebook page:
?
?Studies show that the  radioactive marine emissions from Fukushima will reach the west coast of  the continental U.S. before they reach Hawaii because Hawaii is south  of the principal currents that are transporting  the plume across the Pacific.? The studies show that the plume will  boomerang off the west coast and then head back toward Hawaii, with peak  concentrations sometime in 2014.? But in all cases these still  represent very low levels of radioactive contamination  so I don?t expect there would be a significant health risk from  swimming either off the west coast or in Hawaii as a result of the  emissions from Fukushima.? (I haven?t done the calculation, but I would  guess that drowning or even a shark attack are probably  bigger risks!)
?I just came across this post, which is very close to my own assessment:

 thought we'd heard it all when Sarah Palin compared having to pay taxes for someone else's health care to slavery, but old friend and Ayn Rand devotee Megan McArdle may have one-upped her.

Like the legalization debate, which is meaningless to anyone who's never actually been at risk of being arrested on a drug charge, health care reform is just another annoying tax-day line item if you've never had to worry about not being insured.

If you're that kind of person, I guess it's possible to forget that the whole point of even trying health care reform was to correct a proved-broken system that left a huge plurality of the population living for decades in a kind of permanent mental health crisis, with millions laboring under the stress of knowing that they might be one serious illness away from bankruptcy, foreclosure, even homelessness (and historically, this has been true even of people with insurance).

Agnes -

Can you imagine fracking in California? Governor Brown wants to allow it,
which would be devastating news for our health and our climate. In order
to get Governor Brown to drop his plan and ban fracking in our state, we
need massive public pressure. That's why we are teaming up with our
friends at CREDO Action to get the word out.

There are only three days left to submit a public comment. Please take a
minute and make your voice heard to ban fracking in California.

For our climate,

Dear Agnes,

2013 was California's driest year in recorded history. But the devastating
drought isn't stopping Governor Brown from signing off on a massive
expansion of water-intensive fracking, which not only permanently
contaminates vast quantities of water but also fuels climate-change-driven
extreme drought.

Governor Brown's administration recently proposed regulations that, far
from protecting California from toxic fracking, give it an official stamp
of approval. The state is accepting public comments on the regulations
until Tuesday, which gives us a crucial opportunity to demonstrate the
depth and intensity of public opposition to fracking by flooding the state
with tens of thousands of public comments condemning this dangerous
proposal -- and, hopefully, pressure Governor Brown to change course.

Tell Governor Brown: Scrap your dangerous fracking regulations and ban
fracking now. Click here to submit a public comment.

http://us.greenpeace.org/site/R?i=C-iwhgMOjx0TguVsgjgbZQ

The most important flaw in Governor Brown's fracking regulations is that
they allow fracking, as well as other dangerous oil-extraction techniques
like acidizing, in which huge quantities of acid are injected underground.
There are no regulations that can make fracking safe. However it's
regulated, fracking contaminates water, produces toxic air pollution,
creates dangerous wastewater, industrializes communities, and accelerates
climate change by allowing the fossil fuel industry to burn and extract
otherwise inaccessible oil and gas.

Governor Brown has called climate change "the world's greatest existential
challenge," repeatedly stated his commitment to reducing carbon pollution
from fossil fuels, and fought for renewable energy. But Governor Brown
can't have it both ways: No real climate leader would frack California.
Fossil fuel companies already have proven reserves of oil, gas and coal
far greater than what we can burn without hurtling over the climate cliff,
so there's just no excuse to extract even more oil with fracking.

Activists across the state are organizing to ban fracking in their cities
and counties, to pressure their state legislators into standing up for a
statewide ban on fracking, and to confront Governor Brown wherever he
makes a public appearance. This public comment period gives us a chance to
come together to speak out against fracking and call on Governor Brown to
protect our state from this irredeemably toxic industry.

Tell Governor Brown: Scrap your dangerous fracking regulations and ban
fracking now. Click here to submit a public comment.

Thanks for fighting fracking.

http://readersupportednews.org/news-section2/320-80/21438-doctors-slam-proposed-food-stamp-cuts-the-dumbest-thing-you-can-do-is-cut-nutrition

octors have a message for congressional lawmakers inching toward a compromise farm bill that would cut food stamps by nine billion dollars: It's a terrible idea.

"If you're interested in saving health care costs, the dumbest thing you can do is cut nutrition," Dr. Deborah Frank of Boston Medical Center explained in an interview with the Associated Press. "People don't make the hunger-health connection."

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) offers benefits to over 47 million Americans. But the benefit level has fallen to the point that recipients only get about $1.40 per person per meal, even though food stamps often constitute the entirety of a family's food budget. Doctors and researchers say that additional cuts on the horizon could increase the incidence of medical problems...

Posted by Devin Matthews-Jensen 107pc on January 06, 2014 ? Flag
My brothers and sisters,

Thank you for your presence here today.

This city has made glittering fortunes for the super wealthy and for the major corporations that dominate Seattle?s landscape. At the same time, the lives of working people, the unemployed and the poor grow more difficult by the day. The cost of housing skyrockets, and education and healthcare become inaccessible.

This is not unique to Seattle. Shamefully, in this, the richest country in human history, fifty million of our people ? one in six ? live in poverty. Around the world, billions do not have access to clean water and basic sanitation and children die every day from malnu...

This Is Just Wrong
By Elizabeth Warren, Reader Supported News
15 January 14
 
illions of families are hanging on by their fingernails to their place in the middle class ? and the United States Senate just voted to let them fall.

I'm ashamed that the Senate didn't extend unemployment benefits yesterday. I'm sickened that my colleagues went home last night knowing that they just cut off a little help for millions of people who have worked hard and who can't find a job.

And I'm appalled that so many Senators cannot admit the simple reality: we are still in the middle of a jobs crisis. People have been looking for work for months or even years. Many are starting to give up entirely. Young people are beginning to think that there isn't a future out there for them. Long-term unemployment isn't just about money; it's also about losing hope.

These people ? our friends, our families, our neighbors ? they weren't the ones who broke our economy. So many people worked hard, played by the rules, and did everything we told them to ? and now struggle to find work. They need our help...

We learned on Wednesday that the College of the Redwoods administration plans to eliminate 3 of the 4 remaining full-time faculty members of our local College of the Redwoods campus. Only the woodworking instructor would remain full-time. Clearly this is a crushing blow to our campus as we have known it. If you believe a fully functioning community college is essential to our community, please let the college administration know how you feel about this.  There is a board meeting this Saturday, January 18th, at 10 am in Eureka at which you can make public comment during the first few minutes of the meeting. Also on the agenda is a discussion of CR?s ?next 50 years.?  Public comment can also be made when that agenda item is addressed, probably around noon. No official action will be taken at this meeting. If you can attend the meeting in Eureka, please do so.  If not, please write to all of the CR trustees: 

Rick Bennett:  bennett at sunstarcom.net ; Colleen Mullery: cbm at humboldt.edu ; Tracy Coppini:tcoppini at gmail.com ; Bruce Emad  bruceemad at gmail.com ; Richard Dornredorn at suddenlink.net ; Tom Ross  trr at northcoast.com ; Sally Bigginsbiggin at thegrid.net ; Barbara Rice barbrice at mcn.org; Mohamad Alnakhlawi student-trustee at redwoods.edu; kathy-lehrner at redwoods.edu

Ellen,

*Monsanto: it's one of the greatest corporate scandals of our time.*This
mega-corporation has paid off our politicians, taken over our regulators,
and bullied public opponents into submission while it silently monopolizes
our food system with its genetically-engineered products.

*Now a brave group of Monsanto shareholders are making a stand -- the
crucial* *vote is only one week away*, and they desperately need our
support to force Monsanto to face up to the risks associated with GMOs.
Monsanto has been keeping us and its shareholders in the dark for too long
-- this shareholder resolution tells Monsanto to be open with the risks of
GMO*.*

This is a serious shareholder proposal, and some big, credible investors
are already supportive. But many of *the biggest investment and retirement
funds that invest OUR money are lining up to vote with Monsanto* bosses
against transparency.

*These big institutional investors think that no one's watching them -- and
unless we do something now, they'll be right. * Together, we can make sure
shareholders know what's up and that we're watching -- and secure their
votes against Monsanto's corporate racket.

The vote happens in just one week. We understand if you can't, but if just
5,000 of us can chip in $3 now, we can launch our urgent campaign to tell
Monsanto to come clean on
GMOs.<http://act.sumofus.org/go/3386?t=2&akid=3564.1087352._1lp5y>

Here's just some of what we could do if we all chip in now:

   - Secure *advertising in Monsanto's home town of St Louis, Missouri,* so
   that shareholders hear our message as they arrive to vote and know we're
   watching
   - *Send organizers to St Louis to raise a media storm outside the
   shareholder meeting* with creative tactics, to make sure the public
   knows what's happening
   - Buy a small, strategic stake in Monsanto -- so that we can *speak out
   as shareholders ourselves and demand they act*

This shareholder resolution is legitimate, serious business -- Harrington
Investments Inc. is telling Monsanto to come clean, and they need other big
shareholders to back them.* If the resolution gets a high vote, it would
send a very clear signal that Monsanto should disclose the risks associated
with GMOs*: including contamination of non-GMO crops, damage to "non-target
organisms" like bees and other pollinators, and soil contamination.

But Monsanto's board is refusing to back the proposal, despite claiming to
be transparent and even though the resolution doesn't require them to
disclose any proprietary information. Meanwhile, the company has spent more
than $15 million is California and Washington alone to defeat proposals to
label GMO food -- a measure that over 90% of Americans support.

Can you chip in just $3 now to stand up to Monsanto and support these brave
shareholders in their campaign? We know you might not be able to, but if
you can we really appreciate your
support.<http://act.sumofus.org/go/3386?t=3&akid=3564.1087352._1lp5y>

Big institutional shareholders invest the funds of people like us -- but
too often they vote against our own interests and cozy up to management.
It's only when we publicly hold them to account that we can change this. *We're
already reaching out to big Monsanto shareholders* to call on them to act
-- but we need to be able to tell them that we've got the whole SumOfUs
community behind us, and *we need to be able to show them that we're ready
to make a media storm* at the shareholders' meeting to hold them to account.

We know what we need to do: get institutional investors to speak to the
expert advisors to win their support, show thse investors we'll be there to
hold them to account, and to keep piling the pressure on with national and
international media coverage -- but we can't do it unless we all come
together to make it happen. If we don't, then Monsanto's shareholders will
know that no one is watching when they vote down this crucial resolution on
GMO transparency.

Can you chip in just $3 now to fund our campaign to tell Monsanto to come
clean on the risks associated with GMOs? This is the only shot we'll get to
directly change the direction of Monsanto this
year.<http://act.sumofus.org/go/3386?t=4&akid=3564.1087352._1lp5y>

Thanks for all you do,
Paul, Lisa, Johnny and the rest of us.

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Most of you have no idea what Martin Luther King
	actually did by HamdenRice
Message-ID: <C8F00EA6-03B2-473E-9CED-631C0A2E6DD6@mcn.org>

Most of you have no idea what Martin Luther King actually did
byHamdenRiceFollow

This will be a very short diary. It will not contain any links or any scholarly references. It is about a very narrow topic, from a very personal, subjective perspective.
The topic at hand is what Martin Luther King actually did, what it was that he actually accomplished.  

What most people who reference Dr. King seem not to know is how Dr. King actually changed the subjective experience of life in the United States for African Americans. And yeah, I said for African Americans, not for Americans, because his main impact was his effect on the lives of African Americans, not on Americans in general. His main impact was not to make white people nicer or fairer. That's why some of us who are African Americans get a bit possessive about his legacy. Dr. Martin Luther King's legacy, despite what our civil religion tells us, is not color blind.

Head below the fold to read about what Martin Luther King, Jr. actually did.

I remember that many years ago, when I was a smartass home from first year of college, I was standing in the kitchen arguing with my father. My head was full of newly discovered political ideologies and black nationalism, and I had just read the Autobiography of Malcolm X, probably for the second time.  
A bit of context. My father was from a background, which if we were talking about Europe or Latin America, we would call, "peasant" origin, although he had risen solidly into the working-middle class. He was from rural Virginia and his parents had been tobacco farmers. I spent two weeks or so every summer on the farm of my grandmother and step-grandfather. They had no running water, no gas, a wood burning stove, no bathtubs or toilets but an outhouse, potbelly stoves for heat in the winter, a giant wood pile, a smoke house where hams and bacon hung, chickens, pigs, semi wild housecats that lived outdoors, no tractor or car, but an old plow horse and plows and other horse drawn implements, and electricity only after I was about 8 years old. The area did not have high schools for blacks and my father went as far as the seventh grade in a one room schoolhouse. All four of his grandparents, whom he had known as a child, had been born slaves. It was mainly because of World War II and urbanization that my father left that life.  

They lived in a valley or hollow or "holler" in which all the landowners and tenants were black. In the morning if you wanted to talk to cousin Taft, you would walk down to behind the outhouse and yell across the valley, "Heeeyyyy Taaaaft," and you could see him far, far in the distance, come out of his cabin and yell back.  

On the one hand, this was a pleasant situation because they lived in isolation from white people. On the other hand, they did have to leave the valley to go to town where all the rigid rules of Jim Crow applied. By the time I was little, my people had been in this country for six generations (going back, according to oral rendering of our genealogy, to Africa Jones and Mama Suki), much more under slavery than under freedom, and all of it under some form of racial terrorism, which had inculcated many humiliating behavior patterns.

Anyway, that's background. I think we were kind of typical as African Americans in the pre-civil rights era went.

So anyway, I was having this argument with my father about Martin Luther King and how his message was too conservative compared to Malcolm X's message. My father got really angry at me. It wasn't that he disliked Malcolm X, but his point was that Malcolm X hadn't accomplished anything as Dr. King had.  

I was kind of sarcastic and asked something like, so what did Martin Luther King accomplish other than giving his "I have a dream speech."

Before I tell you what my father told me, I want to digress. Because at this point in our amnesiac national existence, my question pretty much reflects the national civic religion view of what Dr. King accomplished. He gave this great speech. Or some people say, "he marched." I was so angry at Mrs. Clinton during the primaries when she said that Dr. King marched, but it was LBJ who delivered the Civil Rights Act.

At this point, I would like to remind everyone exactly what Martin Luther King did, and it wasn't that he "marched" or gave a great speech.

My father told me with a sort of cold fury, "Dr. King ended the terror of living in the south."

Please let this sink in and and take my word and the word of my late father on this. If you are a white person who has always lived in the U.S. and never under a brutal dictatorship, you probably don't know what my father was talking about.  

But this is what the great Dr. Martin Luther King accomplished. Not that he marched, nor that he gave speeches.

He ended the terror of living as a black person, especially in the south.

I'm guessing that most of you, especially those having come fresh from seeing The Help, may not understand what this was all about. But living in the south (and in parts of the midwest and in many ghettos of the north) was living under terrorism.  

It wasn't that black people had to use a separate drinking fountain or couldn't sit at lunch counters, or had to sit in the back of the bus.  

You really must disabuse yourself of this idea. Lunch counters and buses were crucial symbolic planes of struggle that the civil rights movement used to dramatize the issue, but the main suffering in the south did not come from our inability to drink from the same fountain, ride in the front of the bus or eat lunch at Woolworth's.

It was that white people, mostly white men, occasionally went berserk, and grabbed random black people, usually men, and lynched them. You all know about lynching. But you may forget or not know that white people also randomly beat black people, and the black people could not fight back, for fear of even worse punishment.  

This constant low level dread of atavistic violence is what kept the system running. It made life miserable, stressful and terrifying for black people.  

White people also occasionally tried black people, especially black men, for crimes for which they could not conceivably be guilty. With the willing participation of white women, they often accused black men of "assault," which could be anything from rape to not taking off one's hat, to "reckless eyeballing."  

This is going to sound awful and perhaps a stain on my late father's memory, but when I was little, before the civil rights movement, my father taught me many, many humiliating practices in order to prevent the random, terroristic, berserk behavior of white people. The one I remember most is that when walking down the street in New York City side by side, hand in hand with my hero-father, if a white woman approached on the same sidewalk, I was to take off my hat and walk behind my father, because he had been taught in the south that black males for some reason were supposed to walk single file in the presence of any white lady.  

This was just one of many humiliating practices we were taught to prevent white people from going berserk.  

I remember a huge family reunion one August with my aunts and uncles and cousins gathered around my grandparents' vast breakfast table laden with food from the farm, and the state troopers drove up to the house with a car full of rifles and shotguns, and everyone went kind of weirdly blank. They put on the masks that black people used back then to not provoke white berserkness. My strong, valiant, self-educated, articulate uncles, whom I adored, became shuffling, Step-N-Fetchits to avoid provoking the white men. Fortunately the troopers were only looking for an escaped convict. Afterward, the women, my aunts, were furious at the humiliating performance of the men, and said so, something that even a child could understand.

This is the climate of fear that Dr. King ended.

If you didn't get taught such things, let alone experience them, I caution you against invoking the memory of Dr. King as though he belongs exclusively to you and not primarily to African Americans.  

The question is, how did Dr. King do this?and of course, he didn't do it alone.  

(Of all the other civil rights leaders who helped Dr. King end this reign of terror, I think the most under appreciated is James Farmer, who founded the Congress of Racial Equality and was a leader of nonviolent resistance, and taught the practices of nonviolent resistance.)

So what did they do?

They told us: Whatever you are most afraid of doing vis-a-vis white people, go do it. Go ahead down to city hall and try to register to vote, even if they say no, even if they take your name down.  

Go ahead sit at that lunch counter. Sue the local school board. All things that most black people would have said back then, without exaggeration, were stark raving insane and would get you killed.

If we do it all together, we'll be okay.

They made black people experience the worst of the worst, collectively, that white people could dish out, and discover that it wasn't that bad. They taught black people how to take a beating?from the southern cops, from police dogs, from fire department hoses. They actually coached young people how to crouch, cover their heads with their arms and take the beating. They taught people how to go to jail, which terrified most decent people.

And you know what? The worst of the worst, wasn't that bad.  

Once people had been beaten, had dogs sicced on them, had fire hoses sprayed on them, and been thrown in jail, you know what happened?

These magnificent young black people began singing freedom songs in jail.  

That, my friends, is what ended the terrorism of the south. Confronting your worst fears, living through it, and breaking out in a deep throated freedom song. The jailers knew they had lost when they beat the crap out of these young Negroes and the jailed, beaten young people began to sing joyously, first in one town then in another. This is what the writer, James Baldwin, captured like no other writer of the era.

Please let this sink in. It wasn't marches or speeches. It was taking a severe beating, surviving and realizing that our fears were mostly illusory and that we were free.

So yes, Dr. King had many other goals, many other more transcendent, non-racial, policy goals, goals that apply to white people too, like ending poverty, reducing the war-like aspects of our foreign policy, promoting the New Deal goal of universal employment, and so on. But his main accomplishment was ending 200 years of racial terrorism, by getting black people to confront their fears. So please don't tell me that Martin Luther King's dream has not been achieved, unless you knew what racial terrorism was like back then and can make a convincing case you still feel it today. If you did not go through that transition, you're not qualified to say that the dream was not accomplished.

That is what Dr. King did?not march, not give good speeches. He crisscrossed the south organizing people, helping them not be afraid, and encouraging them, like Gandhi did in India, to take the beating that they had been trying to avoid all their lives.  

Once the beating was over, we were free.

It wasn't the Civil Rights Act, or the Voting Rights Act or the Fair Housing Act that freed us. It was taking the beating and thereafter not being afraid. So, sorry Mrs. Clinton, as much as I admire you, you were wrong on this one. Our people freed ourselves and those Acts, as important as they were, were only white people officially recognizing what we had done.

The Honorable Phil Ting;

Last year I wrote praising you for the Audit of the Foreclosures in S.F.
County when you were Assessor.

You reminded me to contact you in the next early legislative session
regarding a proposal of a law requiring

Assessors to require foreclosing entities to be sent an Affidavit of
Authenticity to be signed under penalty of perjury
 with wording from CA Pen Code 115.5, requiring a true signature to be
returned within a specified time and fees.
If the authenticated signature is not returned within said time period the
foreclosure would not be filed in the property records.

The state of Nevada stopped 75% of foreclosures in the first month of
enactment of such a law and CA should enact the same law.

I urge you to sponsor such a bill.

Sincerely,

Does Brazil Have the Answer?    Joe Nocera

Not long after I got back from my recent trip to Brazil, I called some economists to gain a better understanding of where the country stood economically. To me, Rio de Janeiro felt a little like Shanghai: there was plenty of high-end shopping in neighborhoods like Ipanema ? and plenty of poverty in the favelas, or slums. There was also a lot in between. What is most striking to a visitor is how many middle-class citizens there seem to be. Cars were everywhere; traffic jams, I?ve come to believe, are a sign of a growing middle class. It means people have enough money to buy automobiles.

Mendocino County radio station board member says he'll challenge license

Mendocino County's public radio station has a history of internal struggles but its latest feud has taken a new, and possibly unprecedented twist.

A KZYX board member said Monday he will be filing an objection to the radio station's license renewal with the Federal Communications Commission. John Sakowicz said he's hoping the FCC will force a management shake-up at the station.

?I'm trying to save this station, not destroy it,? said Sakowicz, who also serves as the board's treasurer and hosts a program, ?The Truth about Money,? on the station.

Sakowicz published a letter Monday in an online publication urging others to complain to the FCC as well.

His move shocked and dismayed the station manager and his fellow board members.

?I find that so disturbing. I think it potentially could be very damaging,? said board member and Willits Mayor Holly Madrigal.

She said she and other board members were blindsided by Sakowicz' published allegations.

KZYX General Manager John Coate said most of Sakowicz' allegations are false and he doubts the FCC would get involved in station infighting because the issues fall outside of licensing considerations.

But the tactic still is shocking, he said.

?To try to blow the whole thing up is insane,? Coate said. If the station did end up losing its license, it likely would be the end of public radio in Mendocino County, he said.

Sakowicz' allegations are many. They include accusing Coate of withholding financial and meeting information, failing to advertise vacant positions and manipulating board elections. He also has taken issue with Coate's hiring of a news reporter who once worked for Voice of America, a U.S. funded broadcast aimed at international audiences.

The Voice of America ?almost by admission is a CIA property.? Sakowicz said.

Sakowicz also decried the firing of a reporter and a number of unpaid programmers over the At least two predated Coate, who became general manager about five years ago. The program manager generally handles those situations, Coate said.

More recently, a programmer had his public access show suspended because someone swore on the air.

Coate said the station is required to follow strict rules that prohibit on-air obscenities and hosts from promoting political agendas.

Station critics say that some shows have been canceled for significantly less.

Els Cooperrider is a former KZYX board member and programmer and leader of a ballot effort that banned genetically modified crops in Mendocino County.

She said she was fired as a programmer about five years ago because she wanted to split her show with another host.

She filed a grievance and was reinstated two years later by Coate. She resigned soon after that. Years before, Cooperrider had been removed as a board member over disagreements with her fellow board members.

Cooperrider lauded Sakowicz' efforts to shake up station management.

?Basically, as a programmer at KZYX, you have no rights at all,? she said. Madrigal said the board hopes to improve station interactions with programmers.

She also defended the board and Coate. Together they've nearly eliminated debt attached to the station, which has a $550,000 budget, she said. Coate keeps the board apprised of finances and other business, Madrigal said.

But Coate admits he has declined to provide Sakowicz with some station information that is not intended for public consumption.

?I would tell him things and it would show up in the (Anderson Valley Advertiser) the next day,? he said.

Letter to the Editor:

Mendocino County Public Bank Coalition members, Robin,and Mary  were
derailed by Supervisor Pinches' responses to their  education campaign in
his office regarding the Charter and a public Bank. My answer to
Supervisor Pinches is:

 Until Supervisor Pinches realizes how banks make new money when
 they make a deposit of a loan in a depositors account he will not
 realize the value of a Charter with the power to authorize a
 public bank.

 If he had read chapter 2 in the "Public Banking Solution" book by Ellen
Brown he would realize the truth about the fractional-reserve system of
banking and how banks can loan out 90% of their deposits in their
accounts using new money  to loan out, thereby increasing the amount of
money in circulation.
He  will be ready to see how Banks control the economy by making loans to
 depositors or with-holding loan making which squeezes the economy by not
 putting new money into circulation. And then he would realize what a
 Mendocino County Public Bank can do by using fractional reserve as other
 private banks do, but, only for the benefit of Mendocino County. The Bank
of North Dakota, a publicly owned bank also uses fractional reserve
system of banking. North Dakota's economy did not suffer in the 2008
economic crisis. You may say it's because they have oil revenues, but
Minnesota also has oil reserves and they suffered with higher unemployment
because they don't have a Publicly owned state Bank.

In addition as elected officials, Supervisors have the power to use
eminent domain on securitized mortgages with lost chain-of-title, re-
valuate underwater loans, sell them back to capable owners at current
market value, thus creating an income stream  to the County Public Bank
once it's
established. With Eminent domain mortgage holders must prove they own the
note, otherwise there's no one to whom market value must be paid when
there's a clouded title.

A Public Bank can be capitalized with $20 million in County Rainy Day
Funds which sit idle,and County Retirement Funds and/or School bonds.Each
of these organizations may have a seat on the Public Bank Bank Board if
they agree to capitalize the County Public Bank.

If the supervisors would go to www.tucradio.com and look for the Ellen
Brown Presentation of her book "The Public bank Solution", they could be
enlightened. Also visit www.mendocinotv.com, see the taped  book event on
Doug McKinty's show.
Please urge your supervisors to put the Mendocino County Charter on the
ballot.

Sincerely,
Agnes Woolsey
P.O. Box 163,Mendocino,CA 95460

Message-ID: <7E38693E-721E-47B0-9956-4B7868F33761@mcn.org>


Remember to not brag on Facebook if you do anything criminal!

Guilty plea in Mendocino County bank, bookstore heists

A Mendocino Coast man has pleaded guilty to robbing a Ukiah bank and Fort Bragg bookstore in late July, according to the Mendocino County District Attorney's Office.
Flynn Washburne, 51, also posted veiled confessions on Facebook, according to the prosecutor's office.

He faces up to eight years in prison for the two counts of robbery. Washburne admitted to robbing the Bank of America and Cheshire Books shortly after his arrest in early August, according to Fort Bragg police.

Law enforcement officers were seeking Washburne as a suspect in the Bank of America robbery when the bookstore was held up, with the robber using what turned out to be a toy gun. Bank surveillance cameras captured images of him during the heist, officials said.

After the bank heist, he posted to Facebook: "Well, people. I've advanced into the big leagues. Without going into too much detail, I have definitely stopped fence straddling in the matter of being a criminal or not," according to the District Attorney's Office.

After his arrest, a Facebook posting by proxy read: "Cavalier posts regarding my criminal acts seem ill-advised and inappropriate."

Awesome letter Agnes!!

My additional messages to John Pinches are: 

/Why/ would John Pinches refuse to allow the county?s citizens to vote on a choice to become a Charter County and to have a Public Bank??

Why would John Pinches want to continue to keep Mendocino County vulnerable to the ravages of economic downturns and crashes??

Why would John Pinches want to make Mendocino a poorer county by continuing to waste our tax money paying unnecessary fees to Bank Of America when Mendocino County Public Bank could /keep/ its money for its citizens' needs??

Why would John Pinches want fraudulent records in our County Assessor's office??  Why would he want to protect criminal actions? (fraudulent foreclosures)

Way to go Agnes!!!!!  big smiley faces!!

 With Eminent domain mortgage holders must prove they own
the  note, otherwise there's no one to whom market value must be
paid for  Eminent Domain.

Each  of these organizations may have a seat on the Public Bank Bank Board
if they agree to capitalize the County Public Bank.

 If the supervisors would go to www.tucradio.com and look for the
Ellen  Brown Presentation of her book "The Public Bank Solution", they
could be  enlightened. Also visit www.mendocinotv.com, see the taped  book
event on  Doug McKinty's show.

This is THE GUY who gave out 700 billion dollars to Wall St. allowing AIG executives to give themselves $503 million in bonuses. He?s running for Governor of CA. Now, he?s made the interesting observation that there is not enough left over to pay benefits for other people. So, he effectively has said to Americans on benefits, stop being so selfish. Tighten your belts. All of us will suffer otherwise.

It's funny. I wrote Obama more than a month ago, the day I was asked to 
moderate a panel on immigration for our annual celebration of Martin 
Luther King, Jr. I asked the president what Dr. King would think of his 
immigration policies. The White House responded today. I wish I could 
have asked the panelists for their reaction. I have mixed feelings about 
the response, reproduced below.

-------- Original Message --------

	
The White House, Washington
	

Thank you for writing.  I have heard from many Americans who are 
concerned about immigration, and I appreciate your perspective.

Americans are frustrated with our Nation's broken immigration system, 
and I share that frustration.  We need an immigration system that is 
fair and helps grow the middle class by ensuring everyone plays by the 
same rules.  That is why I have proposed a commonsense plan that would 
continue to strengthen our borders; crack down on employers who 
knowingly hire undocumented workers; create a path to earned citizenship 
for immigrants here illegally that requires them to pay taxes, learn 
English, and pay a fine; and streamline the legal immigration system so 
America can continue to be a magnet for the best and the brightest from 
around the world.  That is how we can reaffirm our heritage as both a 
Nation of immigrants and a Nation of laws.

To make these fixes, we need Congress to act---and I remain deeply 
committed to working in a bipartisan way to enact commonsense 
immigration reform.  But until they take action, my Administration will 
continue to do everything we can to strengthen our borders and enforce 
the law.

Since I took office, we have invested an unprecedented amount of 
resources, technology, and manpower to secure our borders.  Our efforts 
are producing real results.  Today, our Southern border is more secure 
than ever, with more law enforcement personnel than at any time in 
American history---and there are fewer illegal crossings now than at any 
time in the past 40 years.  Crime rates along the border are down, and 
we have seized more illegal guns, cash, and drugs than in years past. 
  In addition to doing what is necessary to secure our borders, my 
Administration is implementing a smart, effective immigration 
enforcement policy that includes taking action against employers who 
knowingly exploit people and break the law.

Smarter enforcement also includes focusing our resources on 
high-priority individuals who threaten our national security or pose a 
threat to the safety of American communities, and not on young people 
who were brought to this country as children through no fault of their 
own.  On June 15, 2012, the Department of Homeland Security announced it 
would allow eligible young people who do not present a risk to our 
national security or public safety to apply for temporary relief from 
deportation proceedings and apply for work authorization.  This is not a 
path to citizenship, and it is not a permanent fix---only Congress can 
provide that.  It is a temporary measure to allow us to focus our 
resources wisely while giving a degree of relief and hope to talented, 
driven, and patriotic young people who are American in every way but on 
paper.

My Administration has also worked to strengthen, streamline, and update 
our legal immigration system through administrative reforms---making it 
easier for employers, immigrants, and families to navigate the system. 
  Through the innovative "Entrepreneurs in Residence" initiative, we are 
gaining insight into business realities and streamlining existing 
pathways for highly skilled, foreign-born entrepreneurs to create 
businesses and jobs in our country.  In 2012, I issued an Executive 
Order to make it easier and safer for international travelers to visit 
America, and to create a national strategy to better reap the economic 
benefits of travel and tourism.  We have worked to support family unity 
by providing a provisional waiver for certain American families to 
reduce the length of time United States citizens are separated from 
their loved ones during the immigrant visa application process.  We have 
also reduced barriers to citizenship by creating tools to help 
applicants through the naturalization process.

By creating a 21st-century immigration system that is true to our 
principles, our Nation will remain a land of opportunity, prosperity, 
and freedom for all.  To learn more about my Administration's plan for 
immigration reform, please visit www.WhiteHouse.gov/Immigration 
<http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/immigration?utm_source=Immigration&utm_medium=ImmigrationMain&utm_campaign=OPC>. 
  For additional information and resources on current immigration and 
enforcement efforts, I encourage you to visit www.DHS.gov 
<http://www.DHS.gov> or call 1-800-375-5283.

Thank you, again, for writing.

Sincerely,

Barack Obama

I agree, John - with "mixed feelings" - I do not agree with a militarized
southern border - especially when Walmart and other gigantic container
ships come into all our ports with virtually NO surveillance - it's a
shame we have to confuse/conflate "national security" with all other
issues - and, it seems, always let fear trump reason and humane
considerations....why have we let ourselves forget FDR's words about fear
being the only thing we have to fear....?

YES, of course, but can't we think it reflects Mr. O's current thinking - influenced or independent only the gods know.

    -------- Original Message --------

              
                     
                        

                      Thank you for writing.  I have heard from many Americans who are concerned about immigration, and I appreciate your perspective.

                      Americans are frustrated with our Nation?s broken immigration system, and I share that frustration.  We need an immigration system that is fair and helps grow the middle class by ensuring everyone plays by the same rules.  That is why I have proposed a commonsense plan that would continue to strengthen our borders; crack down on employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers; create a path to earned citizenship for immigrants here illegally that requires them to pay taxes, learn English, and pay a fine; and streamline the legal immigration system so America can continue to be a magnet for the best and the brightest from around the world.  That is how we can reaffirm our heritage as both a Nation of immigrants and a Nation of laws.

                      To make these fixes, we need Congress to act?and I remain deeply committed to working in a bipartisan way to enact commonsense immigration reform.  But until they take action, my Administration will continue to do everything we can to strengthen our borders and enforce the law.

                      Since I took office, we have invested an unprecedented amount of resources, technology, and manpower to secure our borders.  Our efforts are producing real results.  Today, our Southern border is more secure than ever, with more law enforcement personnel than at any time in American history?and there are fewer illegal crossings now than at any time in the past 40 years.  Crime rates along the border are down, and we have seized more illegal guns, cash, and drugs than in years past.  In addition to doing what is necessary to secure our borders, my Administration is implementing a smart, effective immigration enforcement policy that includes taking action against employers who knowingly exploit people and break the law.

                      Smarter enforcement also includes focusing our resources on high-priority individuals who threaten our national security or pose a threat to the safety of American communities, and not on young people who were brought to this country as children through no fault of their own.  On June 15, 2012, the Department of Homeland Security announced it would allow eligible young people who do not present a risk to our national security or public safety to apply for temporary relief from deportation proceedings and apply for work authorization.  This is not a path to citizenship, and it is not a permanent fix?only Congress can provide that.  It is a temporary measure to allow us to focus our resources wisely while giving a degree of relief and hope to talented, driven, and patriotic young people who are American in every way but on paper.

                      My Administration has also worked to strengthen, streamline, and update our legal immigration system through administrative reforms?making it easier for employers, immigrants, and families to navigate the system.  Through the innovative ?Entrepreneurs in Residence? initiative, we are gaining insight into business realities and streamlining existing pathways for highly skilled, foreign-born entrepreneurs to create businesses and jobs in our country.  In 2012, I issued an Executive Order to make it easier and safer for international travelers to visit America, and to create a national strategy to better reap the economic benefits of travel and tourism.  We have worked to support family unity by providing a provisional waiver for certain American families to reduce the length of time United States citizens are separated from their loved ones during the immigrant visa application process.  We have also reduced barriers to citizenship by creating tools to help applicants through the naturalization process.

                      By creating a 21st-century immigration system that is true to our principles, our Nation will remain a land of opportunity, prosperity, and freedom for all.  To learn more about my Administration?s plan for immigration reform, please visit www.WhiteHouse.gov/Immigration.  For additional information and resources on current immigration and enforcement efforts, I encourage you to visit www.DHS.gov or call 1-800-375-5283.

                      Thank you, again, for writing.

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Pardon Chelsea Manning
Message-ID: <D881DAFB-7805-404C-A9D3-2CED79CF11B1@mcn.org>

We'd like to send letters on your behalf to President Obama and Maj. Gen. Buchanan in support of heroic WikiLeaks whistle-blower Army Pvt. Chelsea Manning. On December 20, 2011, you allowed us to mail a similar appeal to Pentagon officials as Pvt. Manning awaited court martial. Today, we believe this new effort is critical to Pvt. Manning's future in the wake of her 35 year prison sentence. 

We send individual letters (via First Class mail) so that officials receive bags of mail in support of Pvt. Manning. 

Thank you for your ongoing support!
Private Manning Support Network

Subject: co-sponsor a bill to require an Affiavit of Authenticity from banks
From:    agnes at mcn.org
Date:    Fri, March 22, 2013 5:09 pm
To:      assemblymember.chesbro at asm.ca.gov
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Honorable Assemblyman Wesley Chesbro;

       I am a Mendocino activist/voter and our county has
suffered economic damages due to fraudulent, securitized loans
,foreclosured mortgages as well as other counties. Transfer fees for pages
of foreclosure documents have not been paid impacting the county
economy.Robosigning has been used by banks and notaries because the chain
of title has been lost in the securitization process, whereby tranches of
mortgages have been sold repeatedly to investors.

I admired the action of S.F. County Assessor, Phil Ting who is now an
Assemblyman, in an article on the audit of foreclosures documents in his
land title records and the discovery of mistakes,errors and fraud in 80%
of  four hundred documents.
I admired his courage to fight for the people of San Francisco County as
their Assessor. San Franciscans are not the only ones who feel the state
needs  leadership in fighting foreclosures and fraud used by the banks as
a business model.

 I am connected with other activists statewide and am urging you to
initiate a bill that would require Affidavits of Authenticity be sent to
foreclosing entities of securitized loans just as the state of Nevada
did. In the first month of that state's legislation foreclosures dropped
by 75%.
We need this kind of legislation in California.I urge you to support Phil
Ting and co-sponsor this legislation to require an Affidavit of
Authenticity from foreclosing entities or tell me why this can't be done.
The Home Owners Bill of Rights is not enough for people who can't afford
legal costs to enforce the HOBOR laws.

Sincerely,
Agnes Woolsey of OccupyMendocino.org

We had the story up on the Advocate and The Beacon's websites by 6  
p.m., Tuesday, within hours of local faculty receiving the email from  
President Smith. The link was posted on the listserv and our Facebook  
pages. The story's in the Thursday edition, as well. We'll update on  
the websites as more information is available.

Clyte called me to tell Occupy that we will have to meet in the Activity
room across from the dining room tomorrow-1st Saturday because the Sr.
Center has rented out the Sr. Day Care room where we usually meet. This
means $75.00 for the Sr. Ctr. We can still meet at the Center as long as
Mark's key is still available. Will you,Jessie, leave the key at Mark's
home so that i can pick it up if you will be to busy.?

I have not received a notice of the General assembly meeting 2-4pm or an
agenda. I wondered if anyone had volunteered to be facilitator?

Since Richard, Linda and Jessie will not be at the meeting, I say we save
$20.00 and cancel the meeting for tomorrow. Feb. 1/14. I've spent 13 hours
this week working with Keith, Jessie and Robin to improve the focus of the
power point presentation. I need a break.

Wishing mark a speedy recovery from knee surgery.

Best wishes for Jessie and her music career along side Occupy and Public
Banking Coalition.
See you on the third Saturday.

Cheers,
Agne
