Tell your Senators: I support raising the minimum wage. Vote yes tomorrow
to move forward with the Minimum Wage Fairness Act, which would raise the
federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour.

Write your Senators ??
http://action.usaction.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=620

Agnes--

The Senate votes tomorrow to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an
hour. We need your help to make sure that your Senators know that raising
the wage is the right thing for working families and the economy.

With a vote in less than 24 hours, we need to pressure the Senate to do
the right thing. Click here to write your Senators now.
http://action.usaction.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=620

Working families and the middle-class are the engines of our economy.
Increasing the minimum wage raises wages for millions of Americans,
boosting the economy and building stronger communities. We can't let the
Chamber of Commerce and the National Restaurant Association call the
shots. We need to make our voices heard now.

This Senate vote will be close so your voice is critical. Tell the Senate
to stand with working families, not huge corporations like McDonald's,
WalMart and their millionaire CEOs.

Agnes,

Yesterday, the Senate minority fillibustered a proposal to turn back the
rising tide of income inequality that has been eating away at the social
fabric of our nation for years.

Not only would the proposal help 28 million Americans put food on the
table, it would extend the life of our Social Security system's trust
fund.

*That's why it's more important than ever to put your name on the line: We
need to raise the minimum wage now. [
http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/6405/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=9749
]*

It's the right thing to do.

Thank you,
Alex Lawson
Executive Director

Raise the Minimum Wage! [

]





Agnes,

Over the last four decades, income inequality has been eating away at the
American social fabric. It is a core American value that those who work
hard and play by the rules not be left to live or retire in poverty.

And, while this issue is vitally important to the approximately 28 million
workers who would benefit from a wage increase, *this inequality has been
eating away at the finances upholding our Social Security system.*

*Join Social Security Works in demanding that Congress raise the federal
minimum wage. Tell them that raising the minimum wage not only helps
workers; it strengthens Social Security! [
http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/6405/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=9749
]*

In recent years, 95% of all new income in America has gone to the top 1%.
And, at the same time, workers' wages have been stagnant. This unequal
growth in wages is responsible for one-third of Social Security's
projected long-term funding shortfall.

You and I know that all it really takes to extend the life of Social
Security is to ask the wealthy to start paying their fair share of taxes.
Raising the minimum wage wouldn't replace that goal-but it would
undoubtedly be a good start.

*Join us in calling on Congress to raise the minimum wage and strengthen
our Social Security system!*
 [
http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/6405/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=9749
]
Today, 15% of seniors live in poverty. And a Social Security benefit check
for a lifetime minimum wage worker who retires at age 62 is just $686 per
month or $916 per month if they retire at age 66. Any way you cut it, this
retirement income is below the poverty level.

Congress must address the growing gap between the very wealthy and
everyone else. And raising the federal minimum wage is a crucial first
step.

*Tell Congress: when you raise the minimum wage you lift families out of
poverty and strengthen Social Security. [
http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/6405/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=9749

Thank you for your continued support and for all that you do.

Subject: SIGN THIS:Occupy Mendocinians,  because you live in California,
you are in a unique position to save Net neutrality
From:    "Rachel Colyer, Daily Kos" <campaigns at dailykos.com>
Date:    Thu, May 1, 2014 1:46 pm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are in a unique position to help save the internet by preserving Net
neutrality and stopping the Federal Communications Commission from passing
it's proposed new "pay to play" rule.

You have a member/s of Congress who serves on the Congressional Committee
that has oversight of the FCC.

Please, sign and send this petition to your member/s of Congress urging
them to intervene over the FCC's new 'pay-to-play' rule which destroys Net
neutrality. Do your part to save the internet!

http://campaigns.dailykos.com/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=877

As you know, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is considering a
rule which could dramatically change the internet by removing the founding
principle of Net neutrality.

The FCC, as a federal agency, receives its authority from Congress, and as
such, Congress has a degree of oversight on proceedings at the FCC.

Because of the dangers of the FCC's recent proposal to implement
'pay-to-play' policies, we need Congress to step in and apply pressure on
the agency to stop this proposal.

Members of Congress who serve on the Communications and Technology
Subcommittee in the House, or on the Senate Subcommittee on
Communications, Technology, and the Internet, have the most influence over
the FCC. Please sign and send the petition urging your U.S. senator and /
or U.S. Representative who sits on the committee to intervene by asking
the FCC to drop their proposed 'pay-to-play' rule, which would end Net
neutrality.

http://campaigns.dailykos.com/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=877

Here's the deal: Telecom providers want to be able to profit more from the
internet services they already provide -- without upgrading their networks
or speed -- so they have been pushing for a rule that would allow them to
make an internet "fast lane." On the "fast lane," they can charge other
companies a premium to prioritize their content to reach the end-user
faster.

Here are the dangers: This rule does more than promote the corporatization
of internet access--it relegates independent sites to an inferior internet
on the 'slow lane' and creates a HUGE barrier to entry for new start ups
that may compete with--or directly challenge--incumbent technologies and
corporations. This rule will KILL start-up innovation and enshrine the
power of Big Telecom, who will make the internet as awful as cable
television.

Please, for the love of the internet, send this petition to your member/s
of Congress to recommend the FCC abandon the 'pay-to-play' rule and uphold
Net neutrality.

Keep fighting,

Accident Leads to Scrutiny of Oil Sand Production
CALGARY, Alberta ? In the annals of oil well blowouts and pipeline disasters, the 7,400 barrels of oily slush that oozed out of the mossy bogs of the boreal forest in northeast Alberta last summer may seem like a trivial matter.    BUT IT?S NOT.

I sent the following email to KMUD:

Hello,
My name is Jed Davis of Mendocino County.  I am an aquaponic farmer in
Potter Valley.  (www.aquagardensfamilyfarm.com)

I have spent the last two years uncovering many of the tactics that the
Wall Street Banks have been using to steal people's homes through
fraudulent and unlawful foreclosures. In this process I have presented to
our government officials (County through Federal) proof that these
violations are real, and the extent that they are destroying the integrity
and accuracy of our public property records. I have managed to push back
against the banks for over 2 1/2 years, have filed IRS and SEC
whistleblower complaints, and have filed a lawsuit against my lender to
make them prove that they have the legal authority to enforce my mortgage
(which I and my attorney believe the courts will show they do not).

I write to you because my efforts are relevant to millions of Americans who
are paying a company that has no legal right to collect their mortgage
payment or to foreclose. Every unlawful foreclosure (and there have been
millions) is another clouded title that undermines the integrity of our
public records and the ability for one to safely and securely own real
estate. If this trend continues, real estate ownership in America will be
as insecure as owning land in any third world country.

Our current Recorder Susan Ranochak has refused to be proactive in her
fiduciary responsibility to protect the property records in her office. I
would like to bring your attention to her opponent Robin Sunbeam who is
running on a platform to "Protect or Property Records".

There are many people in North Mendocino County to whom this discussion is
VERY relevant and to whom this race for Recorder may have big implications.
I would be happy to speak to this issue on one or several shows on your
station.

I know that Robin's campaign is considering purchasing advertising time on
your station if enough money can be raised.

Please email me or give me a call to further discuss this.

Thank you,
Jed Davis

Unfortunately, it?s clear that the US government is not in a position to make reasonable and responsible decisions related to genetically engineered foods at this point. The fact that the former Monsanto attorney and Vice President, Michael Taylor, is now in charge of US food safety has left many of us scratching our heads.

And serious conflicts of interest even reign supreme within the US Supreme Court! That?s right. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is also a former Monsanto attorney, but refuses to acknowledge any conflict of interest.

GMOs are Almost Everywhere
Many of us have come to the conclusion that our regulatory agencies are lacking and we need to look out for ourselves. It's very difficult to avoid GMOs today. According to the Center for Food Safety the genetic engineering of plants and animals is looming as one of the greatest and most intractable environmental challenges of the 21st Century. 

 Currently, up to 85% of U.S. corn is genetically engineered (GE), as are 91% of soybeans and 88% of cotton (cottonseed oil is often used in food products). It has been estimated that upwards of 75% of processed foods on supermarket shelves ? from soda to soup, crackers to condiments ? contain genetically engineered ingredients. -centerforfoodsafety.org/...

WISCONSIN PREPARES TO HAND HALF-MILLION IN TAXPAYER FUNDS TO KOCH-TIED GOP
LOBBY SHOP

A small GOP lobby shop tied to the Tea Party and David Koch's Americans
for Prosperity, and which was active in the state's recent recall
elections, was awarded $500,000 in taxpayer dollars in what some are
calling a backdoor, sweetheart deal cooked up by the American Legislative
Exchange Council (ALEC) State Chair, outgoing Assembly Majority Leader
Scott Suder.

Send an email to the commission which will review the sweetheart deal
tomorrow:
http://org.salsalabs.com/o/632/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=14195

The United Sportsmen of Wisconsin Foundation was the only applicant for a
newly-created grant to promote hunting, fishing, and trapping in the
state, despite the organization having no record in outdoors training. The
grant was slipped into the budget bill by Suder and barely advertised, and
other outdoors groups with more experience in the area were largely
excluded. Suder has ties to United Sportsmen, and announced last week he
would be leaving the Assembly for a higher-paying job in the Walker
administration.

The organization's record, thus far, appears to be that of a lobbying
organization for an array of Republican priorities, from mining to the
"Castle Doctrine" -- neither of which has anything to do with hunting or
fishing -- and working with Americans for Prosperity to organize events
and support Republicans in the 2011 recall elections. The Foundation wing
of the group, which has received the grant, only incorporated in
January.Although United Sportsmen describes itself as a membership
organization, there is little indication it has a wide membership list;
its Facebook page, for example, only has 290 followers, many of whom are
politicians or right-wing leaders.

The grant, if approved by a panel reviewing the application on Thursday,
will go almost entirely towards paying the salaries of United Sportsmen's
staff and consultants.

"This last minute, half million dollar raid on the public treasury ought
to be rescinded immediately," says Jay Heck of Common Cause Wisconsin. "To
award this huge chunk of scarce, taxpayer money to a new group with no
track record or experience in hunting, trapping and fishing and with
obvious partisan, special-interest ties appears, at the very least to be a
quid pro quo conflict of interest."

Taxpayer Dollars Funding the Tea Party?

United Sportsmen was incorporated in June 2011, just weeks before the
hotly-contested Senate recall elections when, apparently in coordination
with Koch's Americans for Prosperity, it sent misleading absentee ballot
applications with the incorrect date for the elections.

At the time, minimal information was available about the organization, but
readers of the Brad Blog uncovered how United Sportsmen's website was
purchased by John W. Connors, an Americans for Prosperity staffer and
former Walker campaign volunteer.

This was not Connors' first foray into the dark money arts. Earlier in
2011, the Center for Media and Democracy uncovered how Connors had also
purchased the domain name for a mysterious group called "Citizens for a
Strong America," which subsequently spent hundreds of thousands on the
Wisconsin Supreme Court race. (That election, between Supreme Court
Justice David Prosser and challenger Joanne Kloppenburg, was being treated
as a referendum on Governor Scott Walker's controversial anti-union
legislation). The street address for the domain name registry was the same
as that of AFP.

United Sportsmen of Wisconsin received $235,000 from Citizens for a Strong
America in 2011, according to the latter group's tax filings. That same
year, Citizens for a Strong America funnelled a stunning $916,045 to a
pro-life organization called Wisconsin Family Action, which also appeared
to have been involved in Americans for Prosperity's absentee mailing
scheme: its address was the same as the "Absentee Ballot Application
Processing Center" listed as the destination for AFP's absentee ballot
submissions.

Unlike Citizens for a Strong America, United Sportsmen continued its
political activities after the recall elections. It aso maintained its AFP
ties. In October of 2012, for example, the group worked with AFP and the
National Rifle Association to sponsor "Freedom Fest," a party at the
Kalahari Resort featuring politicians like U.S. Senator Ron Johnson,
right-wing talk show host Vicki McKenna, and Brian Fraley of the MacIver
Institute, as well as the head of Governor Walker's Department of Natural
Resources. Activities included a "Freedom Phone Bank" and presentations
titled "Rules for Radicals" and "Grassroots Lobbying."

United Sportsmen presents itself as an organization focused on hunting and
fishing, but its lobbying efforts suggest a broader agenda. The main
legislative priority for the group this session in terms of lobbying hours
was the promotion of a bill to ease the way for a controversial open-pit
iron mine that environmentalists and tribal groups fear will contaminate
groundwater. That bill was a top priority for Governor Walker and
legislative Republicans (as well as Americans for Prosperity), who
promoted it as a jobs measure.

"Conservation only happens when people have jobs," United Wisconsin said
in a statement at the time.

Narrowly-Tailored Sweetheart Deal Involves Suder's Former Chief of Staff

The sportsmen's grant was slipped into the Wisconsin budget with minimal
debate by then-Assembly Majority Leader Scott Suder, who has close ties to
many of those involved with United Sportsmen.

For example, one of the educators listed in the United Sportsmen grant is
Luke Hilgemann, Suder's former Chief of Staff and now Chief Operating
Officer of the national Americans for Prosperity in Washington DC After
leaving Suder's office in 2011, Hilgemann led the Wisconsin chapter of
AFP; he was promoted to the national group earlier this month.
(AFP-Wisconsin is now led by David Fladeboe, who was also a Suder
staffer.) Other educators include Darren LaSorte, a longtime Washington DC
lobbyist for the NRA. United Sportsmen board members and their families
gave Suder $2,500 last year.

Send an email to the commission which will review the sweetheart deal
tomorrow:
http://org.salsalabs.com/o/632/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=14195

And, the grant requirements were narrowly drawn to make few organizations
eligible besides United Sportsmen, and was opened for bidding with
essentially no public notice. According to Jason Stein of the Milwaukee
Journal-Sentinel:

	The motion said the grant can be given only to groups that are "not an
affiliate of a national federation or organization." That meant
conservation groups such as the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation and state
chapters of Pheasants Forever, National Wild Turkey Federation and Rocky
Mountain Elk Foundation were prevented from applying for the grant.

	And due to the lack of public notice, several eligible groups weren't
aware of the grant until after application deadline. Reached last week,
Don Kirby, executive director of the Wisconsin Waterfowl Association,
said he had no knowledge of the grant.

	"Our organization would have been interested to pursue this," Kirby said.
"I'm more than a little disappointed to find out now." The Wisconsin
Waterfowl Association has a long history of running Learn To Hunt and
other training events.

George Meyer, executive director of the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation,
praised the purpose of the grant but questioned the narrowly-drawn
criteria. "We aren't criticizing the purpose of this at all," said Meyer.
"We think its purpose is important. But clearly it looks like it was put
together for one group."

In contrast with United Sportsmen, the Wisconsin Wildlife Foundation
lobbied against the mining bill, expressing concern about mining's impact
on lakes, wetlands, and groundwater.

Rep. Cory Mason (D-Racine), who was part of the budget committee, told the
Journal-Sentinel he hadn't realized how uncompetitive the grant really
was. "In hindsight, it seems like a sweetheart deal for one group that has
ties to Scott Suder," Mason said. "That was not how it was described."

Led by Right-Wing Apparatchicks

United Sportsmen's Tea Party and right-wing ties are well established. For
example, United Sportsmen boardmember John Meegan is president of the Sauk
County Tea Party, and worked with the political training group American
Majority to train Tea Party activists and organize pro-Walker rallies at
the height of anti-Walker protests. In addition to training Tea Party
activists and grooming candidates, American Majority sponsors the Media
Trackers website. Meegan is also on the board of the Wisconsin Coalition
of Virtual School Families, which promotes for-profit virtual schools like
those operated by ALEC member K12 Inc.

Also working with the group is Annette Olson, who makes the vast majority
of posts on the group's Facebook page and has testified on behalf of
United Sportsmen. Olson leads the Tea Party groups Women United for
Liberty (which appears to have an association with Freedomworks) and the
pro-gun Tea Party group Uninfringed Liberty. Uninfringed Liberty describes
itself as having "a strong emphasis on the second amendment because it
protects all liberties and freedom," and says it works to "participate in
vetting and promoting conservative candidates that best exemplify the
basic principles of liberty." The group boasts of its lifetime membership
in the NRA and Gun Owners of America, and supports "open carry." Both
Uninfringed Liberty and Women United for Liberty have also held activist
trainings with American Majority.

At the state Republican Party convention in 2012, Olson was peeved that
the convention hall didn't allow concealed carry, and sponsored a motion
urging the party to only hold its events on properties that do.

Those extreme views on guns are reflected in United Sportsmen's lobbying
efforts. It was one of just a handful of groups to lobby in favor of
Wisconsin's "Castle Doctrine Act," which mimics the infamous ALEC "Stand
Your Ground" law implicated in the Trayvon Martin case. No other group
purporting to focus on hunting, fishing, and conservation is listed as
lobbying on the bill.

Olson and two other United Sportsmen representatives stood behind Governor
Walker as he signed the "Castle Doctrine Act."

Will Wisconsin Fund Tea Partier Salaries, in Perpetuity?

The grant will pay United Sportsmen $200,000 this year and $300,000 in
2014. According to the group's grant application, $370,000 will be spent
on staff salaries and $20,000 on staff benefits, plus $56,000 on
consultants, the Journal-Sentinel reports.

A five-member committee dominated by Republicans will review the grant on
Thursday, and then disband. The committee will include Scott Gunderson,
DNR executive assistant and a former Republican legislator; Sen. Neal
Kedzie (R-Elkhorn), chairman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee;
Rep. Al Ott (R-Forest Junction), chairman of the Assembly Natural
Resources Committee; and two both appointed to the committee by the DNR.

If the grant is approved, United Sportsmen will receive $450,000 in every
two-year budget for perpetuity.

Many have noticed how odd it is for a Tea Party-connected group opposed to
government spending to turn around and use their political connections to
ask for a handout.

"How ironic that this phony front group, with such close ties to Americans
for Prosperity -- which professes to be in favor of cutting government
spending -- would burden Wisconsin taxpayers in this manner," says Common
Cause Wisconsin's Heck. "They should have asked the Koch Brothers -- who
finance AFP -- for the handout instead."

of the Ukraine, and continues the escalating encirclement of Russia and
China with nuclear and other weapons designed to carry out a nuclear
first-strike against these nations, it's time for all of us to take a
close look at U.S. nuclear weapons strategy. Is the current U.S. nuclear
strategy of seeking nuclear weapons dominance by developing and deploying
weapons which increasingly threaten Russia and China with a nuclear
first-strike protecting the United States? Or, is the relentlessly
escalating threat of surprise nuclear attack against Russia and China
forcing their nuclear commanders to prepare to strike the United States
with a preemptive nuclear attack?

          "The Rise of U.S. Nuclear Primacy," by Keir A Lieber and Daryl
G. Press, in the April, 2006 issue of Foreign Affairs, the
journal of the U.S. foreign policy establishment, describes a
U.S. nuclear weapons strategy focused on gaining "first-strike
capability," the ability to destroy all of an adversary's
nuclear forces, eliminating the possibility of a retaliatory
strike. While confronting the Soviet Union, wrote Lieber and
Press, the U.S. "expanded its nuclear arsenal, continuously
improved the accuracy and lethality of its weapons aimed at
Soviet nuclear arms, targeted Soviet command-and-control
systems, invested in missile-defense sields, sent attack
submarines to trail Soviet SSBNs (nuclear-armed submarines), and
built increasingly accurate multiwarhead land- and
submarine-launched ballistic missiles as well as stealth bombers
and stealthy nuclear-armed cruise missiles.Since the Cold War's
end, the U.S. nuclear arsenal has significantly improved."

          The Bush administration's 2002 National Security Strategy made
clear that the United States "is openly seeking primacy in every
dimension of modern military technology, both in its
conventional arsenal and in its nuclear forces." Lieber and
Press confirm what critics have been saying about U.S.
deployment of missile defense systems: ".even a multilayered
system with land-, air-, sea-, and space-based elements, is
highly unlikely to protect the United States from a major
nuclear attack.If the United States launched a nuclear attack
against Russia (or China), the targeted country would be left
with a tiny surviving arsenal-if any at all. At that point, even
a relatively modest or inefficient missile-defense system might
well be enough to protect against any retaliatory strikes,
because the devastated enemy would have so few warheads and
decoys left."

          I believe that this U.S. attempt to gain nuclear weapons primacy
is a catastrophically dangerous impossibility which makes
hostages out of all of us, and threatens the destruction of the
Earth's biosphere. Any thermonuclear strike would cause
unimaginable death and environmental destruction from the blast,
heat and radiation, affecting the entire world. A December, 2013
report by Physicians for Social Responsibility estimated that a
nuclear war between India and Pakistan using only 0.5% of the
world's nuclear weapons would put two billion people at risk of
starvation. The only sane nuclear war strategy is prevention.

          Nuclear weapons confrontation is the great equalizer. Even a
single nuclear weapon could cause crippling destruction to any
nation. As Lieber and Press note, neither Russia nor China can
keep up with the expensive U.S. proliferation of nuclear weapons
and delivery systems. However, they can prepare a few weapons
which could survive a nuclear first-strike and destroy the
United States.

          The reality of high-altitude nuclear electromagnetic pulse
weapons, designed to destroy all computer chips in line of sight
of the blast, is completely ignored by the strategic analysis
presented by Lieber and Press. In 1997, hearings held by
Representative Curt Weldon in the U.S. House of Representatives
revealed that the U.S. and Russia both have developed a
top-secret arsenal of nuclear weapons designed to "lay down" a
powerful electromagnetic pulse, destroying electronic
civilization on Earth and in space over huge areas. Nuclear
electromagnetic pulse weapons could be deployed in satellites,
which need not be accurate to cause massive destruction of
computer chips. There is no nuclear first-strike strategy which
could protect us from high-altitude nucear electromagnetic pulse
attack.

          Perhaps the most frightening misconception in the article by
Lieber and Press is the assertion that "The United States has a
first-strike capability against China today and should be able
to maintain it for a decade or more." China under Chairman Mao
began a top-secret nuclear weapons program after the U.S. had
threatened China with nuclear attack three times. China's
nuclear weapons strategy is intensely focused on preventing
nuclear threats from the United States. As described in China's
Nuclear Weapons Strategy: Tradition within Evolution (Lexington
Books, 1988), Chinese nuclear strategy is informed by the
ancient Chinese classic, The Art of War by Sun Tsu, emphasizing
secrecy, deception, and the development of economic
interdependency with the United States to avoid nuclear war.
China almost certainly has a lot more nuclear strike ability
than the eighteen nuclear missiles kept unfueled in silos which
they have revealed.

          With the United States now entering a more confrontational mode
with both Russia and China, it seems vital to global survival
that we all study ways to keep this confrontation from
escalating to nuclear war. All students of nuclear weapons
strategy agree that if there actually is a nuclear war, the
nuclear power which strikes first will gain overwhelming
advantage. Though few believe that banning nuclear weapons is a
realistic possibility, there are many words and deeds which move
the world's nations either away from, or toward, actual nuclear
war. I believe the U.S. should renounce first-strike nuclear
warfare and abandon its suicidal attempt to achieve nucear
primacy by increasing nuclear threat, and move toward a world
which accepts our oneness as a human race in the need to prevent
nuclear war.

Message-ID: <13586A11-249E-4EF5-8E14-73402BE55370@att.net>

The Guardian reported on Tuesday that several jurors, who were barred from researching the trial while it was happening, were shocked to discover that McMillan could receive a substantial prison term when they searched for details online, minutes after being dismissed.

?They felt bad,? said one juror, who did not wish to be named. ?Most just wanted her to do probation, maybe some community service. But now what I?m hearing is seven years in jail? That?s ludicrous. Even a year in jail is ridiculous.?

TAKE ACTION! Save Bees from a Highly Toxic Pesticide

The Environmental Protection Agency is considering expanding the use of a
highly toxic bee-killing pesticide.

Tell the EPA to protect bees and suspend the use of sulfoxaflor now:
http://action.earthjustice.org/site/R?i=LKOS4chcjBramADg5tmgVA

***********************************************************
Dear Agnes,

Bee populations are plummeting! Yet the Environmental Protection Agency
recently sided with Dow AgroSciences to approve a new, highly toxic
bee-killing pesticide called sulfoxaflor.

And now the EPA is considering expanding the number of crops this
pesticide can be sprayed on to include corn, alfalfa, oats, and several
other significant and widely grown crops.

Will you help us fight back?

Tell the EPA to deny Dow AgroScience's application to expand the
registration of the bee-killing pesticide sulfoxaflor now:
http://action.earthjustice.org/site/R?i=zCbLC4RcTqhPsxLJbt718g

Nearly one-third of our crops--including many vegetables, fruits, nuts,
and seeds--depend on bees for pollination. But bees in our country are
dying at unprecedented rates, and scientists are pointing to pesticides
like sulfoxaflor as a cause.

A world without bees is unimaginable. Earthjustice is doing everything we
can to fight back, using the law and the power of the courts. But we need
your help to stop this latest proposal:

Help us ensure that sulfoxaflor does not become the final straw for bees.

Take action now to save bees:

Dear Ms. Woolsey:

Thank you for expressing your concerns about the labeling of genetically
engineered foods.?? Ensuring that Americans are provided critical
information about the foods they eat is important, and I appreciate
hearing your views.

I have proudly introduced S.809, the Genetically Engineered Food
Right-to-Know Act.?? This bipartisan legislation would direct the Food and
Drug Administration to clearly label genetically engineered (GE) foods,
including fish and seafood, as well as food containing GE ingredients so
that consumers can make informed choices about what they eat.

My bill has strong support from a broad coalition of consumer groups,
businesses, farmers, fishermen, and parents who all agree that consumers
deserve more ??? not less ??? information about the food they feed their
families.

In my continued efforts to establish labeling requirements for GE food, I
also offered two amendments to the Senate version of the Farm Bill.?? One
amendment would have produced a report on GE food labeling, and the other
would have expressed a sense of the Senate in support of labeling.?? I
also supported an amendment that would have reaffirmed a state's right to
require labeling of GE food.?? Unfortunately, these proposals were not
included in the final Senate Farm Bill.

The Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act has been referred to the
Senate Health Committee.?? Be assured that I will keep working to see my
bill passed by Congress and signed into law.??

Again, thank you for writing to me.?? Please know that I will continue to
fight for a safe and environmentally responsible food supply system that
also protects consumers' right to information.

Sincerely,

Barbara Boxer

United States Senator

      Agnes-

   Tomorrow the FCC will begin a process that could either kill or save Net
   Neutrality. We need to speak up now.

   Net Neutrality is what stops powerful Internet corporations like Comcast
   and Verizon from singlehandedly killing websites by making them impossibly
   slow.

   [1]Time is of the essence. Will you click here to sign Demand Progress's
   petition to the FCC?

   Without Net Neutrality, your local cable company could simply decide the
   website of a campaign you support -- and they don't -- will start loading
   0.001% as fast as the other campaign's website, because they can; or
   heavily disable a political organizing tool online that's being used to
   topple dictatorships abroad, or even fighting bank bailouts at home.

   Internet service providers could promote content that they own, and
   undermine content from their competitors.

   They can shake down start-ups and artists and blogs for fees -- and put
   them out of business if they don't pay up.

   When the FCC meets, we need to make sure they stand up for an Internet
   that's for everybody -- not just Comcast, Verizon, and the other
   mega-ISPs.

   [2]Add your name here to hold the FCC accountable.

   Thanks.

   -Demand Progress

> Big Oil lobbyist praises EDF for ?balanced approach? to fracking 
> 
> By Dan Bacher 
> 
> Catherine Reheis-Boyd, the President of the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) and the former Chair of the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Initiative Blue Ribbon Task Force to create so-called ?marine protected areas? in Southern California, has praised the supposedly ?balanced approach? to fracking advocated by the Environmental Defense Fund and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. 
> 
> The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), the recipient of millions of dollars of Walton Family Foundation money every year, is a supporter of the environmentally destructive practice of fracking for natural gas and oil. The group claims fracking would provide ?measurable environmental benefits? in spite of the enormous harm that fracking poses to human health, groundwater and surface water supplies, and fish and wildlife populations. 
> 
> EDF is no stranger to corporate greenwashing campaigns, since the corporate ?environmental? NGO is also a big backer of ?catch shares? or ?catch and trade? programs that privatize fisheries. These programs for the 1 percent result in fisheries being transferred from traditional fishing families into fewer, increasingly corporate hands.The Walton Family Foundation donated $8,500,000 to EDF to promote catch shares in 2013 and $7,800,000 in 2012 (http://www.waltonfamilyfoundation.org/about/2012-grant-report#environment.) 
> 
> Reheis-Boyd, in her latest blog on the Western States Petroleum Association website (http://www.wspa.org), applauded Fred Krupp, President of the Environmental Defense Fund, and Michael Bloomberg for calling for ?sensible rulemaking? and ?measurable regulations? on fracking in their April 29 op-ed in the New York Times. 
> 
> It is crucial to understand that the Western States Petroleum Association that Reheis-Boyd heads is the most powerful corporate lobbying group in Sacramento. The organization spent a total of $5,331,493 in 2009, $4,013,813 in 2010, $4,273,664 in 2011, $5,698,917 in 2012 and $4,670,010 in 2013 on lobbying at the State Capitol - and spent $1,456,785 in just the first 3 months of 2014. (http://www.truth-out.org/speakout/item/23365-californias-big-oil-dirty-dozen) 
> 
> Reheis-Boyd said: 
> 
> ?In an April 29 opinion editorial published in the New York Times, the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) joined former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in advocating for a balanced approach to hydraulic fracturing: 
> 
> ?The shale gas boom is indeed lowering energy costs, creating new jobs, boosting domestic manufacturing and delivering some measurable environmental benefits as well. Unlike coal, natural gas produces minuscule amounts of such toxic air pollutants as sulfur dioxide and mercury when burned ? so the transition from coal- to natural-gas-fired electricity generation is improving overall air quality, which improves public health. There?s also a potential climate benefit, since natural-gas-fired plants emit roughly half the carbon dioxide of coal-fired ones.? 
> 
> We agree. Krupp and Bloomberg also called for sensible rulemaking and measurable regulations that protect the environment while allowing the petroleum industry to capitalize on an historic moment in our nation?s economy. Despite the emotions surrounding hydraulic fracturing, the American energy renaissance, led by the increase in domestic shale oil and gas production, can move forward safely.? 
> 
> Reheis-Boyd then used her blog piece to greenwash Senator Fran Pavley?s Senate Bill 4, the green light to fracking bill in California, claiming that ?California is leading and innovating this entire discussion.? 
> 
> The vast majority of conservation and environmental justice groups strongly opposed Senate Bill 4 because it would create a clear path to expanded fracking in California. However, the Environmental Defense Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council and League of Conservation Voters supported the legislation until the last minute - withdrawing their support only after the oil industry added ?poison pill? amendments to further weaken the badly-flawed legislation. 
> 
> Reheis Boyd also reiterated oil industry disinformation claiming that the Pavley bill created the ?most stringent? fracking regulations in the nation: 
> 
> ?Senate Bill 4 regulations, passed at the end of last year?s session, are the most stringent hydraulic fracturing regulations in the nation. The bill requires companies to obtain a permit from the state, notify surrounding landowners, conduct pre and post fracturing water tests, disclose all chemicals used in the process, conduct regular pressure tests on wells to ensure well integrity and submit extensive water management plans. 
> 
> This week?s New York Times opinion editorial is a good reminder we must finally agree to embrace balanced policies that can achieve strict environmental protection, economic growth, and increased domestic energy security.? 
> 
> Reheis-Boyd is extremely hypocritical for saying she supports "balanced" policies and ?strict environmental protection," based upon her dubious record as the Chair of the MLPA Initiative Blue Ribbon Task Force for the South Coast. (http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/mpa/brtf_bios_sc.asp) 
> 
> She and her collaborators on the task force made sure that the questionable "marine protected areas" created in Southern California under her "leadership" fail to protect the ocean from fracking, oil drilling, pollution, corporate aquaculture, military testing and all human impacts on the ocean other than sustainable fishing and gathering. Reheis-Boyd, state officials and MLPA Initiative advocates ensured that these alleged "marine protected areas" were good for big oil and ocean industrialists - and bad for fishermen, tribal gatherers and the public trust. 
> 
> Reheis-Boyd also "served" on the MLPA initiative Blue Ribbon Task Forces to create so-called "marine protected areas" on the North Coast, North Central Coast                         and Central Coast and she currently sits on a federal "marine protection" panel, NOAA's 20 member Marine Protected Areas Advisory Committee. As she served on these panels, the oil industry engaged in a frenzy of environmentally destructive fracking operations off the Southern California coast, as revealed in an Associated Press and Freedom of Information Act investigation last year. 
> 
> The corrupt process that Reheis-Boyd oversaw created no take "state marine reserves" that violate the traditional gathering rights of the Yurok Tribe and other California Indian Tribes to harvest seaweed, mussels and fish, as they have done for thousands of years. The privately funded process also rejected numerous requests by Yurok Tribe scientists and lawyers to present scientific studies that countered the terminally flawed and incomplete "science," based on flawed assumptions, that drove the MLPA Initiative. (http://www.indybay.org/uploads/2011/07/15/lop_yurok_6-29_11.pdf) 
> 
> As Frankie Joe Myers, Yurok Tribe member and Coastal Justice Coalition organizer, said before a direct action protest against the MLPA Initiative in Fort Bragg in July 2010, ?The whole process is inherently flawed by institutionalized racism. It doesn?t recognize Tribes as political entities, or Tribal biologists as legitimate scientists.? (http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/07/24/18654645.php) 
> 
> ?Whether it is their intention or not, what the Marine Life Protection Act does to tribes is it systematically decimates our ability to be who we are,? emphasized Myers. ?That is the definition of cultural genocide. 
> 
> To make make matters even worse, Ron LeValley, the Co-Chair of the MLPA Science Advisory Team ? the same controversial state panel that inexplicably rejected the Yurok Tribe?s science studies - will be sentenced on May 20 on a single federal charge of conspiracy to embezzle nearly $1 million from the Yurok Tribe!( theava.com/archives/28651) 
> 
> On February 11, LeValley, of Mad River Biologists, pled guilty to the charge in federal court. Court documents reveal that LeValley conspired with Roland Raymond, former Yurok Tribe forestry chair, to embezzle the funds through a complex scheme of fake and inflated invoices and payments for spotted owl surveys that LeValley and his organization never performed. The link to the federal indictment is available at: http://noyonews.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/U.S._v._Ron_LeValley_As_Filed.pdf 
> 
> More recently, the industry that Reheis-Boyd lobbies for engaged in over 100 violations of California?s new public disclosure rules for fracking and other dangerous oil production methods. The violations were uncovered by a Center for Biological Diversity analysis of records from the state, the oil industry and South Coast air quality regulators. (http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/news/press_releases/2014/fracking-04-30-2014.html) 
> 
> In a letter to Governor Jerry Brown, the Center revealed that state regulators with the Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources have failed to disclose legally mandated reports for 47 frack jobs and notices for more than 100 uses of other risky oil production techniques. 
> 
> ?This lack of disclosure underscores the failure of current regulations and the need for strong action that will protect public health and safety and the environment,? the letter says. 
> 
> However, these overt violations of California environmental law are just a small taste of the massive violations of environmental laws that will take place if Reheis-Boyd and her collaborators are allowed to proceed with their plans to expand fracking operations in California. 
> 
> If the oil industry and Governor Jerry Brown have their way, groundwater and surface supplies will be polluted with numerous toxic chemicals, including methanol, benzene, naphthalene and trimethylbenzene. According to the Center, evidence is mounting throughout the country that these chemicals are making their way into aquifers and drinking water. 
> 
> Human health, endangered Central Valley salmon, steelhead and other fish populations and many wildlife species will be imperiled by increasing water pollution in California, as well as by the increasing use of water for fracking that is badly needed for people, farms and fish during the current drought. 
> 
> In addition, air pollution caused by fracking contributes to the risk of asthma, cancer, and other health problems in people living near fracked wells, according to a Colorado School of Public Health study. (http://articles.latimes.com/2012/mar/20/local/la-me-gs-fracking-increases-air-pollution-health-risks-to-residents-20120320) 
> 
> There is no doubt that we must completely reject the false claims by the oil industry, the Environmental Defense Fund and Michael Bloomberg that fracking can be conducted in a "safe" and "sensible" manner that "protects" the environment. We must call on Governor Brown and other state officials to ban fracking now! 
> 
> We must also call on Brown and state and federal officials to halt the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) to build the peripheral tunnels under the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, the biggest estuary on the West Coast of the Americas. The tunnels will provide water for fracking and steam injection operations used to extract oil in Kern County, as well as for corporate agribusiness interests irrigating drainage impaired land on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley, and Southern California water agencies.

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Koch Brothers Fruitlessly Spreading
	Misinformation on Renewable Energy

Koch Brothers Fruitlessly Spreading Misinformation on Renewable Energy
By Sam Gomberg, Union of Concerned Scientists
17 May 14
 
espite relentless legislative attacks funded by the Koch Brothers and other fossil fuel special interest groups, state renewable electricity standards are holding their own and continue to drive investments in clean energy resources. And as long as legislators remain committed to well-informed policies that represent the will of the people instead of a few powerful special interests, renewable energy can continue to look forward to a bright future in the U.S.

Most Americans support emphasizing development of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, over production of more fossil fuels, and that?s especially true among the younger generations who will guide our nation through much of the 21st Century. But a new study by researchers at Princeton University has the blogosphere and social media abuzz with concern that our nation is heading in a different direction. One where policy decisions are made not in the best interests of the people, but rather for the benefit of powerful industries and the special interest groups they fund.

It is no secret that fossil fuel interests, particularly the Koch Brothers and the advocacy groups they fund, have used misleading claims and bogus studies to try and discredit the overwhelming scientific consensus around climate change and roll back the policies that support the development of our nation?s vast wind and solar resources. But as the Washington Post reports, the Koch Brothers have ?run into a surprising roadblock: the growing political clout of renewable energy??

Science and facts are still winning in the debates over clean energy

A total of 29 states, plus the District of Columbia, currently have a renewable electricity standard (RES) that requires utilities to meet a percentage of their electricity demand with renewable energy. These policies have enjoyed a long history of bipartisan support among state legislators and governors, and no state, once it has enacted a RES, has ever repealed one.

The reason is quite simple. Ample evidence shows RES policies are an effective way to achieve the ramp up of renewable energy that Americans desire, and the real-world experience with meeting renewable electricity standards is proving how these policies are a good deal for consumers, and are affordably delivering real economic, environmental, and public health benefits.

The Union of Concerned Scientists works with a broad range of allies ? business and industry, environmental and consumer advocates, and engaged citizens and experts to make sure decision makers have the facts to see through the disinformation campaigns led by the Koch Brothers and their cohorts and make well-informed decisions about the role of renewable energy in meeting energy demand. We were among the first to expose the Koch Brothers? pending attack on RES policies in 2012 and to highlight the misleading claims, and often downright lies, spread by the fossil fuel lobby.

Campaigns of disinformation attracting attention and eroding the public?s trust

Fortunately, the media is also taking note. The New York Times just dubbed the Koch?s efforts to politicize renewable energy ?deliberately misleading? in a recent editorial. Attack ads targeting Kansas?s 20 percent by 2020 RES aired by the Koch-funded group Americans for Prosperity have been characterized by the local media as ?nothing short of a lie,? ?misleading,? and ?laughable.? TheAssociated Press called out Americans for Prosperity for citing ?misleading figures? in its failed bid to block Georgia?s new solar requirement. UCS has also joined reporters at the Washington Post and The Guardian in shedding light on the flawed and biased analyses of the Koch-funded Beacon Hill Institute, which has rolled out cut-and-paste reports attacking RES policies in nearly 20 states.

Meanwhile, the Koch Brothers? misguided attacks on RES policies continue to erode the public?s trust in the fossil fuel industry. Oil companies sit just above Big Tobacco among the industries that Americans trust the least. It?s a rank earned by employing many of the same tactics and special interest groups that Big Tobacco used to mislead the public about the health impacts of smoking, only this time to manufacture doubt about climate change and renewable energy. And the Koch Brothers sit at the center of this web of disinformation.

Policymakers and citizens in states where RES policies have come under fire have chosen clean energy facts over the fossil fuel funded fiction. To date, not a single RES has been repealed. Unfortunately, the Koch Brothers and their army of lobbyists show no signs of letting up. But with legislators and the public focused on the facts and doing what?s best for this nation, we will achieve the affordable, reliable and sustainable energy future that we deserve.

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

And, of course, the Koch Bros. and other fossil fuel fools likewise see absolutely *no* need for subtlety here. 

They are, in broad daylight, employing the exact same PR Firms that were so famous for placing Tobacco Company CEOs in front of Congress, right hands raised, *swearing* that nicotine is not an addictive substance.

You know, like the sky is not blue. 

That was one of the earliest indicators that these people had *no* need to fear Congress. Like James Clapper, the Tobacco CEOs stood there lying like Pinocchio and suffering not so much as a sneering look.

It should be shocking that these slime-bag mind control firms are even still in business following the failure that *was* the "Tobacco Science" circus, but they have not even the shame to change the names of their useless firms. 

(Take a note from Blackwater, big fellas - notice that most people, myself included, refuse to call you by your new, improved, "ink cloud" names anyway.) 

Like Blackwater, Reynolds Tobacco is really *not* "Altria", they are still just plain old Reynolds Tobacco thinking they are fooling everyone with their spiffy, new, poorly made toupee. 

BTW - Take note Politically Correct people, the very idea of training you to be the new thought police is *not* an idea that originated on the Left. 

The Left, and the ACLU used to be the protector of all free speech - the Right knows how to "control the message." They began subtly ("Death Tax", etc.) they will not remain so.

They wasted $400 million lying about "Obamacare" to no profitable end. Now let them spend billions more trying to keep their right to pollute the world, hopefully to an even bigger defeat.

Scum rises (or sinks) to it's own level.

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Why Our Schools Are Re-Segregating
Message-ID: <8E72A118-2690-46A6-BBC7-53FF8B94A841@mcn.org>

Why Our Schools Are Re-Segregating
By Sally Kohn, The Daily Beast
18 May 14
 
ixty years ago tomorrow in Brown v. Board of Education, the United States Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public education is unconstitutional, writing that ?in the field of public education, the doctrine of ?separate but equal? has no place.?

Yet all these years later, our schools remain deeply segregated along lines of race as well as class?with charter schools and high-stakes testing making matters worse.

Schools today are as racially segregated (PDF) as they were in the 1960s. Recently, ProPublica wrote a deep and haunting exposition on the re-segregation of schools in the South, including Tuscaloosa. Post-Brown, schools in the South became the most integrated in the nation. It took a while?until the 1970s, really?but it happened.

Today? In the South and nationwide, most black and brown children attend schools where 90 percent or more of the students look like them. ?In Tuscaloosa today, nearly 1 in 3 black students attends a school that looks as if Brown v. Board of Education never happened.?

Across the United States, per-student spending (PDF) in public schools with 90 percent or more white students is 18 percent higher?$733 more per student on average?than spending for public schools with 90 percent or more students of color. That can?t be attributed to different geographical tax bases alone; 40 percent of the variation (PDF) in per-pupil spending occurs within school districts. A third of the schools with the highest percentage of black and Latino students don?t offer chemistry. A quarter don?t offer Algebra II. Black and Latino students account for 40 percent of enrollment at schools with gifted programs but make up only 26 percent of the students in such programs.

Meanwhile, we know that disadvantaged students of color end up being over-represented in the prison-industrial complex. Black students in America?s public schools are expelled at three times the rate of white students. This discrepancy starts at a frighteningly young age; black children make up 18 percent of pre-schoolers but almost half of all out-of-school suspensions. One in five girls of color with disabilities has received an out-of-school suspension. These statistics are much higher than for white peers even for the same misbehaviors.

Racial segregation in schools has increased largely because federal courts have allowed cities and states to abandon mandatory busing and other desegregation efforts imposed in the 1960s. And in 2007, a sharply divided Supreme Court ruled that public schools could no longer pursue integration strategies based explicitly on race. Yet the legal sanctioning of segregation also paved the way for white families to justify self-selecting out of what were fast becoming inferior schools in communities of color, an inferiority further fed by white flight.

Around the same time, charter schools and testing came along and made everything worse. In a key essay in the education magazine Ed Weekly, Dr. Iris C Rotberg of George Washington Universitywrote in straightforward terms that research makes it clear that ?charter schools, on average, don?t have an academic advantage over traditional public schools? and that ?they do have a significant risk of leading to increased segregation.?

Rotberg goes on to detail study after study showing a ?strong link between school choice programs and an increase in student segregation by race, ethnicity, and income.? Segregation effects are particularly pronounced at charter schools run by private companies or those that target specific racial or ethnic groups. Segregation within charter schools is particularly pronounced for students with disabilities, since charter schools often tend to skim the ?best students? from communities and under-enroll those with special needs.

Before Brown was even decided, Prince Edward County, Virginia, closed its public schools rather than face integration. White and black students were sent to separate, segregated private academies until the Supreme Court ordered the public schools to reopen and desegregate. Nonetheless, in the wake of Brown, many white students fled to private and parochial options, a trend very much about race but also privatization?that we can give a good education to some select students while lining the pockets of private companies. In our time, school vouchers and charters schools all play into this dynamic.

This is where testing comes in. To begin with, testing exacerbates?or perhaps rationalizes?inequality and segregation in schools. Charter schools that screen students based on test scores end up including fewer low-income students because study after study shows that standardized test scores correlated directly with family economic status. Yet behind the testing push is the for-profit testing industry, which is less interested in boosting student learning than boosting their bottom line.

?This market-based approach to public education?one where there are winners and losers instead of equal opportunity for all?is failing our kids and driving a deeper divide in our communities,? says Randi Weingarten, head of the American Federation of Teachers. ?Those peddling this approach try to capitalize on the growing frustration in our neighborhoods?especially African American and Latino neighborhoods?to move their agenda.? This is after all what markets do?decide where they can make a profit and abandon the rest. Some kids are getting a leg up in the charter system and testing regime, but all the other kids are being written off.

?Just as separate but equal wasn?t possible 60 years ago, it?s not possible today,? says Sabrina Joy Stevens, a former teacher and executive director of Integrity in Education. ?We know that concentrated poverty and racial isolation mean unequal access to learning opportunities for traditionally under-served students?especially those who end up in fraud-prone ?schools? privately run by people who prey on our most neglected communities.?

Public schools can work. I went to one. Most everyone I know went to one. We had great teachers, who were in unions, who had good salaries and benefits, plenty of school supplies in the classroom and enough training and freedom to teach creatively and innovate in the classroom. We went on to have rich academic careers because we were equipped with problem-solving skills and comprehension in math and literature and science and so much more. There is nothing wrong with public schools, or public teacher unions, that can?t be fixed?if we have the will to fix them.

On the other hand, the push toward charter schools and the larger private educational industrial complex has no good track record and is only proving worse, re-segregating education and trying to re-enshrine ?separate but equal? not only in practice but in principle.

In Brown, Chief Justice Warren wrote: ?To separate [children] from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone.? Yes, and separating children by race or class or test scores into pseudo-private charter schools is affecting not only those students but our communities and our nation in the very ways we once tried to undo.

Robobee Lab at Harvard Exorcised; Monsanto devils confronted
BY REV BILLY
The Queen Bee - this time played by soprano Susannah Pryce - instructed us to take the fruits & vegetables pollinated by Honey Bees to the lab that wants to replace the bees with robots. The scientists of the Micro-Robotics lab were polite as 15 people covered with 5 inch bee dolls and bee-hive like wrappings on their heads, and of course accompanied by a televangelist shouting about extinction and sin, entered their quiet building. The beautiful pollinated watermelons and almonds and apples were arranged around the display case where the would-be bee replacements stood in the light, penny-size sticks with wings. The choir sang, the preacher prayed, and conversations ensued with the inquiring scientists and researchers who came out of the labs wondering what all the commotion was about. The radical bee-lovers left after about a half-hour. There were no arrests.  

A second activist church, the 1st Parish UU Church of Bedford, with Rev John Gibbons, joined the Church of Stop Shopping at Harvard & at the next stop, Monsanto. The office building with the devilish pesticide & suicide seed company inside was exorcised from a food court area, with workers looking down, cellphone-photographing, from their office windows. Our visit there was cut short by security and police, but the soul-saving effort was made. 

We returned to New York by midnight, and now turn to final preparations for our Sunday "Honeybeelujah" service at Joes Pub at the Public.

CALIFORNIA: Tell Your Senator You Want GMO Labels on Your Food!

Dear Agnes

Vermont just passed the nation's first no-strings-attached GMO labeling
bill. Now it's California's turn! The California Senate is debating SB
1381, a bill to label genetically modified foods (GMOs) in California. We
need your help to bring this bill to the Senate floor for a vote.

Please call your senator today and ask him or her to support SB 1381 for
GMO labels on food in California!  [
http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/o/50865/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=13537
]

SB 1381 is a simpler, clearer version of Prop 37. If signed into law, this
bill will ensure Californians' right to know how our food is grown and
produced. And it will send a clear message to the big food and agriculture
corporations that they can't keep us in the dark about the widespread use
of GMOs in our food system.

Your state senator could be a critical swing vote in passing this bill
once it reaches the Senate floor.

Contact your Senator today and ask him or her to support SB 1381 for GMO
labels on food in California!  [
http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/o/50865/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=13537
]

Polls, both before and after the Prop 37 election in 2012, showed that 67
percent of Californians support a state GMO labeling law. The opposition
spent $46 million in 2012 to confuse voters about Prop 37. Now corporate
lobbyists are in full force at the state capitol, spreading their
misinformation in an effort to defeat SB 1381 in a Senate floor vote.

Join the tens of thousands of supporters ??? from Moms to farmers ???
across the state in support of GMO labeling.

Tell your Senator -- it's time to speak up for our right to know what we
are really eating.  [

BY KILEY KROH  

On Sunday, Germany?s impressive streak of renewable energy milestones continued, with renewable energy generation surging to a record portion ? nearly 75 percent ? of the country?s overall electricity demand by midday. With wind and solar in particular filling such a huge portion of the country?s power demand, electricity prices actually dipped into the negative for much of the afternoon, according to Renewables International.

In the first quarter of 2014, renewable...

Message-ID: <dfae03aa4353a09a14224b497a00f808.squirrel@webmail.mcn.org>

DEAR OCCUPY! ~
As we follow this unfortunate, but predictable, turn of OCCUPY events, let
us remember that this is the POLICE M.O. everywhere: offer ANY (even
POLITE verbal) 'resistance' to arrest= You WILL get charged with ASSAULT
on a cop, ESPECIALLY if they beat You up!
For the Record:
in 1984, in Fort Bragg, I had this experience:
I was, at that time, a "small businessperson", being co-proprietor of an
Art Gallery on Redwood St.
One FRIDAY evening my biz partner & I were running errands in a car
borrowed from a friend, who was watching our shop. We were stopped by FB
cops for inadvertently putting the high beams on. A background check
revealed an EXPIRED fixit ticket on a dead Volvo (in my backyard), & the
officers decided to arrest me!
I politely but firmly requested permission to deliver my partner & her
groceries 1/2 block and/or to decline said arrest (weekend in jail for a
dead tail-light on a non-op car?), etc. all to no avail.
I was then roughly smacked about (by 2 notorious cops, who often preyed
upon single women...), handcuffed & hauled off to jail.
I politely asked to NOT be handcuffed for the 5 block drive: I needed my
hands in working order. I was at that time plagued by Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome [n.b.~ since CURED by acupuncture!] and I had, in addition to a
current sign painting job, a Public Piano performance in a few days {I was
also a Public School music teacher}.
This request, and an attempt to notify my shopsitter of this situation,
were met with jeers & insults from the cops.
The PUNCHLINE? ~ I was charged with (& convicted of!) assault on the police.
That was in the days of good ol' Hon. Judge Robt. Heeb, who sat through a
bizarre jury trial & sentenced me to community service. The creepy PA
later ran for judge Heeb's job on a platform attacking Judge Heeb: "He
lets dangerous cop-beaters off easy!"
As a result of this very public & preposterous event, the late, GREAT
BARBARA CHAMPION led a Flying Wedge of Radical Grandmas to publicly
inquire why police policy included universal handcuffing, even in such
nonviolent, victimless instances. They were met with a very militaristic
reply: it only takes one berserker....etc...
There are more crazy details to this story, but, hey: I wasn't even
PROTESTING anything but my arrest!
The above pales in contrast to Cecily Macmillan's ordeal, but: be aware:
this is UNIVERSAL, craven police policy: victimize the peaceful & then:
blame the victim.
This cautionary tale is not meant to dissuade folks from Peaceful Protest.
Indeed: Fill the Jails, Jam the Courts, educate everyone re: JURY
NULLIFICATION LAWS, ALWAYS HAVE NUMEROUS RECORDING DEVICES {charge Your
batteries!}, SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER & have a Nice Day!
Love and Peace, K. Rudin!

Tell EPA to do its job and stop poisoning bees!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As if the situation weren't bad enough for the bees already, EPA is once
again turning its back on protecting pollinators by proposing to expand
the use of yet more bee-toxic pesticides. Tell EPA to stop poisoning bees!

TAKE ACTION NOW:
http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/o/1881/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=14079
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bees are essential for one out of three bites of food we eat. But they are
being wiped out by the widespread use of certain chemicals ???
specifically systemic insecticides, like neonicotinoids ("neonics" for
short). Despite numerous scientific studies showing that these systemic
insecticides are harmful to bees, EPA is actually proposing to expand the
use of two such bee-toxic pesticides - thiamethoxam and sulfoxaflor.

When will EPA get the message that enough is enough?  Bee-toxic pesticides
are already used on over a hundred crops ??? and now EPA wants to approve
more uses of these chemicals?

TAKE ACTION NOW:
http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/o/1881/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=14079

Unlike the U.S., the European Union has already suspended the use of
thiamethoxam for its potential to harm honeybees. In the U.S., Center for
Food Safety has sued the EPA to suspend the use of thiamethoxam [1], and
some of the nation's largest beekeeping associations have sued the EPA and
Dow Chemical to remove sulfoxaflor from the market; in fact, even EPA
admitted that sulfoxaflor  is "very highly toxic" to bees [2].

EPA has dug itself into a dangerous hole, but instead of putting the
shovel down, they seem intent on continuing to dig. Beekeepers across the
country continue to report record-high bee kills. Recently, over 80,000
bee hives were decimated in California almond orchards, and again the
damage was linked to bee-toxic chemicals [3].  And it's not just honey
bees suffering ??? native bees like bumblebees are also dying as a result
of pesticide poisoning.  Nearly one year ago, the largest bumblebee kill
ever recorded took place in Oregon after a pesticide application in a
Target parking lot [4].

The EPA has a public comment period open until May 27th ??? meaning we
have less than one week left to make our voices heard.

Tell EPA to do its job and stop poisoning bees!

TAKE ACTION NOW:
http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/o/1881/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=14079

Thanks for everything you do,
Center for Food Safety

This is where I learned much about the Big Banks stealing homes through
foreclosure fraud. The cost of the Foreclosure Crisis to Mendocino County
between 2008 and 2012 was $24,143,932. from Home Wreckers pdf.Think how
this has affected Police, Fire and School funding. Go to www.hofj.org.

Some discussion of the B.O. S. ban on Fracking
     Ed Oberweiser's warning that the Fracking Ban was on the BOS Agenda
for May 20th.
     4-5 Occupiers decided to carpool to Ukiah for the Public Comment time
to either support or oppose the ban.

The Mendocino Community Rights ordinance  was approved by the Acting
Council and will be circulated for signature
 gathering after it is printed at Global Exchange and brought to the
Coast.Each volunteer will need to collect
50 signatures a week to achieve 6,000 county wide. Perhaps 5 pages of
signatures.

Discussion  of Party Invitations and a paper banner announcing the event
for the 30th "Good bye to Bank of America"
Power to the People and Keep your money Local to be printed on the
invitations and banner.

Brief discussion about the Fourth of July Parade -our participation: Will
it be fragmented with all the sub committee work?
After the June 3rd election some of us will  collect signatures for the
Charter/Public Bank as well as the Com.Rights Ordinance.
The Power Point Presentation of the Charter will be updated and cirulated
with help hopefully.

Announcement of May 22nd Community Workshop at Town Hall: An update on
what progress in clean-uo of
toxic waste on the G.P. Millsite. the City owns 90 acres which is clean.

Discussion of content for the Grand Jury Complaint re the trial of
Elizabeth Swenson vs. the Footlighters.
Be sure to include involvement of City of Fort Bragg and County funds
invested in equipment.
The City of F.B. had partial ownership of MCTV equipment and did not
intervene in the trial until after the decision.
Dan Gjerde,Ann Renneker,Ric Martin and Jane Vartanian were on the MCTV
Board and should be on the complaint form
   with contact information:   danhjerde at netscape.net,ann at live.com,
ricmartin at mcn.org, teacheng at comcast.net

The Judge Jeanine Nadel decided the trial in favor of the Footlighters and
against Elizabeth Swenson with fines and
lawyer's fees of $40,000 and  $36,000 was considered back rent.
Elizabeth had paid property taxes on the building believing the
Footlighters had transfered the property to MCTV.
No allowance was made for E.Swensons' investments in the building repairs
either.

Judge Jeanine Nadel had a conflict of interest and should have recused
herself due to the fact
that she had been county counsel at the time the county made the contract
for MCTV to tape FBCC meetings.
Then she complained that the contract was invalid due to the wrong type of
deed used to transfer the property to MCTV.
Due to the gag order placed by  Attorney Rubricht Elizabeth Swenson was
not allowed to testify about funds
spent placing French Drains under the ground to remedy the water damage to
the Footlighter Theatre,
and to remove mold caused by water damage to the whole building, and
property taxes paid by Swenson.
I hope this information helps members to fill out Complaint forms and send
them to the address at top of the form.

Respectfully submitted: Agnes Woolsey

Occupiers,

After signing the petition, I tried to post it on Facebook but I've 
rarely used Facebook and my skills are on par with the average 
troglydyte. The petition site kept demanding email and new passwords and 
when they didn't like what I typed in they suggested I grant access to 
cookies, and this gave me pause (not that I'd know how to do it.) My 
scam light came when they denied me access despite entering the password 
on page 4, line 14 , Truth is, I rarely visit my Facebook page. I have 
more than 250 passwords, most of them for sites or games or videos I 
don't recognize. Checking the notation on page 4, line 14 , I accessed 
Facebook, but I couldn't post the petition or this message.

Anyway, check out the petition (below); I think you'll want to sign it. 
If you're on Facebook, tell me if you were able to post it..

Thanks,
John

When the Occupy protests spread across the country three years ago, state and local law enforcement officials went on alert. In Milwaukee, officials reported that a group intended to sing holiday carols at ?an undisclosed location of ?high visibility.? ? In Tennessee, an intelligence analyst sought information about whether groups concerned with animals, war, abortion or the Earth had been involved in protests.

Mahafarid Amir-Khosravi, also known as Mansour Aria, was hanged at Tehran?s Evin prison on Saturday after being convicted of a scam that was said to have cost Iranian banks nearly ?1.5 bn.

Alongside Khosravi, 39 defendants were convicted for fraud, with four others being sentenced to death.

According to Khosravi?s lawyers, the execution had taken place in secret and without their knowledge.

Gholam Ali Riahi, Khosravi's lawyer told Iranian news website khabaronline.ir that ?he had not been informed of the execution,? and that Khosravi?s assets were at the ?disposal of the prosecutor?s office.?

The crimes that led to Khosravi?s death related to a massive campaign of fraud that had started in 2007.

The fraud involved Khosravi forging documents to get credit from Iran?s biggest bank, Bank Saderat.

The Overturn Citizens United Act, SB1272, to put the question to the
voters of the state of California, just scored its second overwhelming
committee victory, thanks to your voices, and now goes to the full Calif.
state senate. We need you to go to the site below and sign the petition at:

Dear Richard and all,
Huffman is on board against fracking. Carrie, Meg, and I brought our petitions to the gathering and everyone there signed on.

He gave an interesting talk and then answered questions. I was impressed with him (I had originally voted for Solomon, not Huffman). He?s smart and relaxed and progressive. We have a good representative in Congress.

I asked Huffman, since clean water is a big issue for him, what?s the word in Washington regarding fracking (he had been talking about issues that both the left and right could agree on). Unfortunately, he said there?s a lot of support for fracking in Washington. We have our work cut out for us.

Onward,
Linda

Dear occupymendocino,

Agnes Woolsey (agnes at mcn.org) asked us to forward this message to you with the subject, "Put SB1272, The Overturn Citizens United Act, On The November Ballot"

Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/pass_sb1272.php

No later than May 30th, 2014, the entire CA State Senate must vote on SB1272, to put this critical Voter Instruction Measure, the Overturn Citizens United Act, on the next general election ballot. 

We, the people of California, call on all members of the CA Senate, and the CA Assembly in succession, to stand with the overwhelming majority of the citizens of the State of California in expressing their support of a federal constitutional amendment to correct for the wayward Supreme Court decisions turning our elections over to big money special interests.

Whatever the nominal cost of speaking out in this way, it is quite small compared with the importance of demonstrating the leadership to move decisively to fix this now.

CALIFORNIA: GMO Labeling Bill Has Reached the Senate Floor!

Dear Agnes,

The tide is definitely turning against Monsanto and the Grocery
Manufacturer's Association (GMA) in 2014! First, Vermont passed a
trigger-free mandatory law to label genetically modified foods (GMOs).
Then, last week, by landslide votes, Jackson and Josephine counties in
Oregon passed ballot initiatives to ban GMOs.

Now, in California, our hard work is finally paying off. SB 1381, a bill
to label GMOs, has made it through three Senate Committees to the Senate
floor [ http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_30118.cfm ]. And
the Senate vote will likely take place this week.

URGENT! Call your California State Senator today and ask them to vote for
SB 1381!  [
http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/o/50865/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=13537
]

We know you have already called and sent messages, but now it's time to
call again. The biotech and GMA lobbyists are still in full force at the
legislature, so your Senator needs to hear from you.

Call your Senator today! Use this action alert link to look up your
Senator's phone number [
http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/o/50865/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=13537
]. Your message can be simple:

"Hi, my name is---------. I am a constituent in your district and am
calling to ask you to vote for SB 1381, a bill to label genetically
engineered foods in California."

SB 1381 [
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/13-14/bill/sen/sb_1351-1400/sb_1381_bill_20140221_introduced.pdf
] is a simpler, clearer version of Prop 37. If signed into law, this bill
will ensure Californians' right to know how our food is grown and
produced. And it will send a clear message to the big food and agriculture
corporations that they can't keep us in the dark about the widespread use
of GMOs in our food system.

Polls, both before and after the Prop 37 election in 2012, showed 67
percent of Californians support a state GMO labeling law. The opposition
spent $46 million in 2012 to confuse voters about Prop 37. Now corporate
lobbyists are in full force at the state capitol, spreading their
misinformation in an effort to defeat SB 1381 in a Senate floor vote.

Join the tens of thousands of supporters ??? from Moms to farmers ???
across the state in support of GMO labeling. Call your Senator today!  [

Dear All,
As soon as this Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on a
groundbreaking amendment that would ban the Drug Enforcement
Administration and Department of Justice from using our taxpayer money to
interfere with state medical marijuana laws.

Time is running out to make your voice heard: tell your member of Congress
to end the federal attack on medical marijuana now!
http://dpa.convio.net/site/R?i=nBAO4X8JNnrbv-lKuuNbmA

Drug war bureaucrats are determined to undermine our progress. The
Department of Justice and Drug Enforcement Administration still have free
reign to take action against medical marijuana dispensaries operating
legally under state law. If we don't pass reform in Congress, the progress
we've made could crumble. Even worse: a new administration in 2017 could
stop medical marijuana dead in its tracks.

Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia now allow marijuana to be
used for medical purposes. And five other states recently approved the use
of CBD oils, a component of medical marijuana which some parents are
utilizing to treat their children's seizures. Federal interference has
resulted in patients losing access to their medicine when legal
dispensaries are threatened, raided and shut down.

Tell your U.S. House Representative to support the amendment that will ban
the DEA and DOJ from using taxpayer money to interfere in states with
voter-approved medical marijuana laws!
http://dpa.convio.net/site/R?i=OuDh4EQXQ18GY086dRyhSA

Right now we have a huge opportunity to protect medical marijuana. And
with more support in Congress than ever before, we have a real chance to
win this! But we need your help to persuade Congress.

You've proven before that fierce advocacy can lead us to victory. And we
need your help now more than ever. With the vote as early as this
Thursday, please take action and demand that your member of Congress vote
in favor of ending the federal assault on medical marijuana now.

Bill Piper

The head of the International Monetary Fund has warned that a persistent violation of ethics among bankers and rising inequality pose a major threat to growth and financial stability.

Christine Lagarde told an audience in London that six years on from the deep financial crisis that engulfed the global economy, banks were resisting reform and still too focused on excessive risk taking to secure their bonuses at the expense of public trust.

She said: "The behaviour of the financial sector has not changed fundamentally in a number of dimensions since the crisis. While some changes in behaviour are taking place, these are not deep or broad enough. The industry still prizes short-term profit over long-term prudence, today's bonus over tomorrow's relationship.

"Some prominent firms have even been mired in scandals that violate the most basic ethical norms - Libor and foreign exchange rigging, money laundering, illegal foreclosure."

Lagarde warned the too-big-to-fail problem among some of the world's largest financial institutions was still unresolved and remained a major source of systematic risk, with implicit subsidies of $70bn (?42bn) in the US, and up to $300bn in the eurozone.

In a speech littered with quotations from Winston Churchill to Pope Francis and Oscar Wilde, Lagarde said international progress to reform the financial system was too slow. "The bad news is that progress is too slow, and the finish line is still too far off. Some of this arises form the sheer complexity of the task at hand. Yet, we must acknowledge that it also stems from fierce industry pushback, and from the fatigue that is bound to set in at this point in a long race."

Lagarde told the inclusive capitalism conference that rising inequality was also a barrier to growth, and could undermine democracy and human rights. The issue has risen up the agenda in recent months with the publication of the French economist Thomas Piketty's book, Capital in the Twenty-First Century.

"One of the leading economic stories of our time is rising income inequality, and the dark shadow it casts across the global economy," Lagarde said.

Borrowing from Oxfam research, she noted that the world's richest 85 people, who could fit into a single London double-decker bus, control the same wealth as the poorest half of the global population of 3.5 billion people.

Options to address inequality include more progressive tax systems and greater use of property taxes, she said.

"We must recognise that reducing inequality is not easy. Redistributive policies always produce winners and losers. Yet if we want capitalism to do its job ? enabling as many people as possible to participate and benefit from the economy ? then it needs to be more inclusive. That means addressing extreme income disparity."

Lagarde compared the rising awareness of social responsibility tied into the financial system with the world's expanding environmental consciousness. "Just as we have a long way to go to reduce our carbon footprint, we have an even longer way to go to reduce our 'financial footprint'. Yet we must take those steps."

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Brown's Revised Budget Includes Additional $1.2B
	for Medi-Cal

Brown's Revised Budget Includes Additional $1.2B for Medi-Cal

Wednesday, May 14, 2014

TOPIC ALERT:
State Budget
Medi-Cal
Click on topic to receive periodic emails.
On Tuesday, Gov. Jerry Brown (D) released a revised fiscal year 2014-2015 budget proposal that includes an additional $1.2 billion in Medi-Cal funding to account for about 800,000 new beneficiaries who qualified for the program before the expansion under the Affordable Care Act, HealthyCal reports.
Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program (Weintraub, HealthyCal, 5/13).
Background
Brown on Tuesday released his revised budget proposal, which includes more than $2 billion in additional spending over his initial budget proposal in January.
In addition to the increased Medi-Cal funding, the revised budget plan also includes higher spending on:
Additional contributions to CalPERS;
Additional staffing for the state's unemployment insurance program;
Early childhood education;
Emergency drought assistance; and
Increasing In-Home Supportive Services' caseloads.
In a release, Brown said the revised budget "shows that California can afford to provide health care to many more people, while at the same time paying its debts and shoring up the long-troubled teachers' retirement system."
Higher-Than-Expected Medi-Cal Enrollment
California officials had estimated that one million to two million additional residents would enroll in Medi-Cal through the end of 2014, but about 1.9 million consumers already had registered for the program by the end of March and an additional 900,000 applications are pending (California Healthline, 5/13).
About 800,000 of the new beneficiaries were eligible for the low-income health program before the ACA was implemented. The state is responsible for paying half the cost of new Medi-Cal beneficiaries who qualified for the program before the ACA went into effect (HealthyCal, 5/13).
Diana Dooley, a spokesperson for the Brown administration, said the state's outreach efforts brought previously eligible residents "out of the woodwork" to enroll in Medi-Cal (Megerian, Los Angeles Times, 5/13).
With the influx in new enrollees, California's total number of Medi-Cal beneficiaries is expected to increase to 11.5 million by 2015 -- about 30% of the state population (HealthyCal, 5/13).
Details of Medi-Cal Funding in Budget Plan
The additional $1.2 billion in funding called for under Brown's revised budget plan includes:
$193 million for 2013-2014; and
$918 million for 2014-2015.
The budget proposal also includes other expenditures related to the Medi-Cal program, including:
$191.2 million in funding to expand Medi-Cal mental health and substance misuse programs;
$187.2 million in funding for managed care rate increases; and
$94.4 million to enhance the technology program used to determine Medi-Cal eligibility and process Covered California applications (Robertson, Sacramento Business Journal, 5/13).
Lawmakers' Reactions
Some state lawmakers applauded Brown's efforts to expand health coverage through Medi-Cal, but others said his revised budget focused too much on the program.
Assembly member Jeff Gorrell (R-Camarillo) said the revised budget "represents a responsible framework," but he added that the "dramatic increases in health care costs indicate that there are many unanswered questions in the implementation of the [ACA]."
Assembly Republican Leader Connie Conway (R-Tulare) in a release said government health care programs "will consume more and more of the state budget and eventually reduce the amount we can spend on other important priorities such as education, public safety and transportation" (Smith, "Capitol Alert," Sacramento Bee, 5/13). She also said that spending $1.2 billion in state funds on residents who previously qualified for Medi-Cal without additional federal funding is "a problem" (Duckworth, KCBS, 5/13).
Health Advocates' Reactions
Meanwhile, C. Duane Dauner, president and CEO of the California Hospital Association, in a release expressed "disappoint[ment]" that the revised budget did not reverse "looming retroactive Medi-Cal payment cuts to hospital-based skilled-nursing facilities."
Dauner said that the "omission comes at a critical time in the evolution of the Medi-Cal program" and that the cuts could "threaten access to care for millions of low-income and elderly patients" ("Capitol Alert," Sacramento Bee, 5/13).
A joint release by several health advocacy groups said the coalition was "pleased that the governor's May revision reflects the continued success of the state's expansion of Medi-Cal coverage to more children and families." However, the release added that the budget "misse[d] a golden opportunity to build a healthier California" by restoring funding for children's health programs.
The coalition includes:
California Coverage & Health Initiatives;
Children's Defense Fund California;
Children Now;
PICO California;
The Children's Partnership; and
United Ways of California (The Children's Partnership release, 5/13).
For more information on Brown's revised budget, see today's Capital Desk post.

Apolitical Aphorisms

The problem with political jokes is they get elected.


~Henry Cate, VII~

 

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.

~Aesop~

 

If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union speeches, there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven.

~Will Rogers~

 

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.

~Nikita Khrushchev~

 

When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it.

~Clarence Darrow~

 

Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you.

~Author unknown~

 

Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.

~John Quinton~

 

Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.

~Oscar Ameringer~

 

I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them.

~Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952~

 

A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.

~ Tex Guinan~

 

I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.

~Charles de Gaulle~

 

Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.

~Doug Larson~

 

There ought to be one day -- just one -- when there is open season on senators.

~Will Rogers~



If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.

~Jay Leno~
