   friends

   They're calling it "NAFTA on steroids" -- a new trade deal, being
   negotiated in secret, that could destroy even more jobs and take away even
   more of your rights.

   It's the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the latest trade deal being cooked up
   in secret by big corporations and their lobbyists. Not only is this a bad
   idea -- President Obama wants the ability to keep Congress out of the
   negotiations by getting "fast track authority," limiting the public's
   ability to even know what is in the proposal.

   In his State of the Union address earlier this month, President Obama
   acknowledged that past trade deals "haven't always lived up to the hype."
   That's an understatement. Since NAFTA was adopted in 1993, we've watched
   income inequality soar as corporations use these trade deals to send jobs
   overseas and slash wages at home. The middle class suffers as high wage
   jobs vanish, even as the rich get richer.

   The president promises this time will be different. I'm sure he has good
   intentions. But we have tried this approach before and it hasn't worked.
   Previous trade deals prove that big corporations will take advantage of
   the deal to send more of our jobs overseas, to take advantage of low wages
   and weak environmental rules.

   The first step: make sure that Congress rejects fast track authority for
   President Obama. Senator Elizabeth Warren is leading the fight in Congress
   to protect her and her colleagues' right to stand up for the American
   people on this deal. It's time to stand with her.

   [1]Will you join DFA and Senator Elizabeth Warren in telling Congress:
   Don't give fast track authority to President Obama? Help us stop yet
   another bad trade deal that will destroy what remains of the middle class.

   Sen. Warren laid out some of the main problems with the TPP. It would:

     * Erode important safeguards designed to prevent future financial crises
     * Allow companies to use secret trade tribunals to challenge and
       override U.S. laws, including labor and environmental protections
     * Prevent the U.S. from enacting new limits on toxic financial products,
       or from taxing international financial transactions

   That's not all. The TPP will make it easier for corporations to send
   American jobs overseas. It will undermine wages by forcing Americans to
   compete with workers in countries where the average wage is just 56 cents
   an hour.

   The TPP will put our health at risk by allowing unregulated food products
   into our country. For example, it would require us to allow imports from
   countries where toxic chemicals banned in the U.S. have been found in
   seafood. Under the TPP, we wouldn't be able to hold those imports to U.S.
   safety standards.

   [2]We can't let another bad deal undermine American workers. Stand with
   Sen. Elizabeth Warren and tell Congress: Don't give fast track authority
   to President Obama.

   Thank you for joining the fight against this terrible trade deal.

   - Robert

   Robert Cruickshank, Senior Campaign Manager

America Quietly Robs Its Elderly
...A graphic demonstration of that scene, and the financial-services industry ethos it describes, just hit the news in the form of a wild new report on the wide-scale scamming of ordinary investors. The "Ferris wheel" of conflicted payments, unnecessary fees and other shady practices apparently beats retirees for up to $17 billion a year, according to an internal White House memorandum.

Bloomberg's Dave Michaels and Margaret Collins did an excellent report on the topic. They wrote that back on January 13th, Jason Furman, the Chairman of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisors, issued a scathing memo about shady broker practices and how they impact ordinary savers, especially working people who use brokers to manage their retirement funds.

Specifically, the White House investigation concluded that this particular corner of the financial services is teeming with loophole-permitted conflicts of interest. Brokers can legally and in most cases undetectably grind their clients for fees and/or put them into plans that offer fat commissions for the brokers themselves, while offering lower returns for the client....

Dear Occupiers, 
   Always make sure to test links by mailing back to yourself. If it is a survey from somewhere else, don't expect
it will work. Test it.  One link to a page, preferably.  This will save a lot of time and frustration.

occupiers,
Please protect Women's right to legal abortions.i just signed the petition.
Agnes

I have exciting news. Right now women's rights champions in Congress are
calling for elimination of the "Hyde Amendment," a discriminatory policy
that blocks coverage of abortion care for tens of millions of women,
putting their health and well being at risk.

You can stand with these champions and voice your support for women's
reproductive rights by signing our petition. [
http://action.now.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=10840&tag=EliminateHydeEmail
]

For far too long, lawmakers have used budget riders, like the Hyde
Amendment, to play politics with women's health. Year after year, they
have inserted clauses into the federal budget prohibiting federally funded
health insurers -- Medicaid, Medicare, federal employees' health plans and
more -- from covering abortions except in cases of rape, incest or life
endangerment. This outrageous denial of basic health care coverage must
stop now!

Please sign our petition to push for full coverage of women's basic
reproductive health care. [
http://action.now.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=10840&tag=EliminateHydeEmail
]

One in three women will have an abortion by the age of 45. Insurance
coverage for this common and necessary aspect of reproductive health care
is essential. According to a recent study, a woman who seeks but is denied
abortion care is three times more likely to fall into poverty than a woman
who is able to get the care she needs.

If you believe, as I do, that every woman's health insurance policy must
cover the full spectrum of reproductive health care, including abortion,
please make your voice heard and sign our petition. [
http://action.now.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=10840&tag=EliminateHydeEmail
]

Thank you for all you do for women's health and lives.

Sincerely,

Terry O'Neill
President

Please read John Lewallen's letter. We need to de-escalate rhetoric of a
cold war which could turn very hot on Russia's border and turn into a
nuclear exchange.
Agnes.


US Should Not Arm the Ukraine Against Russia



Dear Friend,

            If the United States supplies military equipment to the
Ukraine, it will cross a big red line in the ongoing
thermonuclear weapons confrontation between the US and Russia:
the US would be involved in a war on Russia's border, raising
the credible Russian fear that the US might carry out
longstanding "contingency" plans to attack and destroy
Russia's entire nuclear strike force.

            It would be suicidally insane for the US to get involved in
the war in Ukraine. The US and Russia always have over a
thousand nuclear weapons poised to launch at each other's
homelands at short notice by missile, from the sea and air,
aimed at us, all of us. Both nations' nuclear arsenals have
serious deterioration and maintenance problems.

            It is urgent to de-escalate all tensions with Russia. Russia
has said it needs its nuclear arsenal to defend its homeland,
and recently said that "tactical" nuclear weapons might be
used if Russia is attacked.

            This is no way for any of us to live. The whole human society
is entirely interdependent. The sane US military strategy, I
believe, is to avoid any military involvement in the Ukraine,
and de-escalate nuclear first-strike threats against Russia.

MARK KARLIN, EDITOR OF BUZZFLASH AT TRUTHOUT
Too Many People Can't Break Out of Their Comfort Zones of Routine to Feel Empathy

For most people with means, adult life is a routine that is built to ensure a life that is lived within a comfort zone. For people without economic means - or individuals and groups struggling with issues of survival or discrimantion and political dominance - it's not a question of living in a comfort zone; it's a question of survival.

For years, BuzzFlash at Truthout has posted commentaries on how many people who live comfortable lives of routine - and have economic means - not only want to reduce or eliminate a social safety net for those who are disabled, can't find jobs, are paid less than survival wages, or in dire need of assistance for a variety of factors not of their choosing. In addition, BuzzFlash has noted, even the presence of homeless people or those in need of food in public spaces visually violates the "comfort zone" of those of economic means. As a result, many municipalities are passing laws that limit the feeding of people in public who have no permanent residences.

To some people, compassion comes as part of their behavioral and genetic makeup. To many others, compassion is a nurtured quality, requiring practice and tools to...

Attention Occupiers,
  Please sign the petition .I just did.
Agnes

      Stand with Senator Bernie Sanders: Make secret trade agreements public

   Petition to President Obama:
   "We demand the immediate release of the full text of all pending trade
   agreements to members of Congress, their staff, and the American public."

   Add your name:

   [1]Sign the petition ???

   Dear Agnes,

                                                   [2]Stand_with_Bernie

   Republicans in the new Congress have already launched a backdoor attack
   against Social Security and moved to gut Wall Street reforms with more
   bailout for big banks. And now they are working with the Obama
   administration for the next big item on their agenda ??? a titanic
   corporate power grab called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

   We need to fight now to ensure the American public, which has purposefully
   been kept in the dark about the TPP, knows exactly what is in it.

   Fortunately, Senator Bernie Sanders is fired up. He is championing the
   public interest by demanding the Obama Administration make public the
   content of all trade agreements such as the TPP.^1 And, this is a key
   moment for us to stand with him.

   [3]Tell President Obama: Make the full text of all pending trade
   agreements public. Click here to sign the petition.

   Trade agreements such as the TPP are being negotiated behind closed doors
   by the governments of a dozen countries (including ours) in collusion with
   corporate interests. This secret "trade" deal would eviscerate broad
   swaths of regulations that protect consumers, workers, the environment and
   the soundness of our financial system. And it would set up a legal regime
   where corporate profits trump the policy priorities of sovereign
   governments.

   Under a trade agreement such as the TPP, more American jobs would be
   offshored. Internet freedom would be a joke. Developing countries would
   lose access to lifesaving medicines. Unsafe foods and products could pour
   into our country while we???re powerless to stop them. Gone would be the
   days when the United States could regulate coal exports. The excesses of
   our crazy intellectual property laws that privilege corporate control over
   innovation would be both exacerbated and extended internationally. And,
   that???s just the tip of the iceberg.

   Soon congress will be taking up ???Fast Track??? legislation which would
   short-circuit the typical legislative process when trade deals like the
   TPP come up for a vote. In fact, the reason the corporate lobby is pushing
   hard for Fast Track is that they know the TPP could not get through
   Congress without this extraordinary power grab.

   You might think a far-reaching proposal such as the TPP would be subject
   to intense public debate. But the text of the proposed deal is considered
   classified by our government and even members of Congress have been given
   extremely limited access to it.

   The little we do know about the deal we know because drafts of some of its
   chapters were leaked last year.

   Yet, while the government has kept the public and Congress largely in the
   dark about the TPP, it has given 600 corporate advisers access to the full
   text of the proposal. As Senator Sanders has demanded, President Obama???s
   trade negotiators must ???stop operating in the shadows and come clean
   with details of an agreement."^2

   [4]Tell President Obama: Make the full text of all pending trade
   agreements public. Click here to sign the petition.

   Senator Elizabeth Warren has warned that trade deals like the TPP could
   provide an opportunity for ???banks to get something done quietly out of
   sight that they could not accomplish in a public place with the cameras
   rolling and the lights on.???^3

   Indeed, leaked chapters of the TPP included provisions that would majorly
   hamstring the ability of governments to stem the next banking crisis.^4

   Other provisions would allow multinational corporations to sue governments
   in foreign courts that are staffed by corporate lawyers when governmental
   regulations cut into corporate profit.^5

   It would be outrageous for the Obama Administration to allow the
   Republican leadership and their corporate allies within the Democratic
   party to ram through Fast Track, without allowing all members of Congress,
   their staff, and the American public to read what is in trade agreements
   such as the TPP.

   This is why Senator Sanders is demanding the Obama administration to at
   least follow the example of the European Union which has already published
   the full text of a separate proposed trade agreement with the United
   States.^6

   Stand with Senator Sanders by demanding President Obama to immediately
   release the full text of all pending trade agreements. Click on the link
   below to sign the petition.

Hi,

I signed a petition to Hillary Clinton which says:

"Speaking at this year's BIO International Convention, you reiterated your support for genetically modified organisms (GMOs).  You said the industry needs "a better vocabulary" to change negative public perception about GMO agriculture.  But mounting scientific evidence says the public is right to be concerned about the impact of Monsanto's GMO crops and food on the environment, public health and global warming.  We don't need a better vocabulary. We need leaders who will stand up to Monsanto.  As a mother, soon-to-be grandmother and potential future candidate for U.S. president, I ask that you do what's right, not what the biotech industry lobbyists want you to do.  "

Hi All,
I signed this petition. Please read and sign on.
Agnes
      Governor Brown allowed fracking waste to be illegally injected into
   protected aquifers!

   Tell Governor Brown:
   "You allowed the oil industry to illegally inject fracking wastewater into
   federally protected aquifers used for drinking water and irrigation during
   our historic drought. Immediately shut down all illegal oil waste
   injection wells, then place an emergency moratorium on fracking in
   California."

   Add your name:

   [1]Sign the petition ???

   Dear Agnes,

                                                   [2][IMG]

   Shocking news: An EPA investigation has revealed that, in flagrant
   violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act, California regulators have
   handed out over 2,500 permits to illegally inject oilfield waste into
   federally-protected aquifers ??? many of which are used for drinking water
   and irrigation.^1

   Governor Brown not only knew about this ??? he encouraged it.

   The problem goes back decades, but nearly half of the injections have
   taken place or been permitted by Governor Brown. In 2011, he even fired
   the state's top two oil regulators after the oil industry executives
   complained that mandated state environmental reviews were slowing down oil
   well drilling.

   Even with regulations, as long as fracking is allowed, public health or
   our precious water will be a casualty. This kind of regulatory corruption
   and abuse is exactly why Governor Andrew Cuomo banned fracking outright in
   New York state. Governor Brown must follow suit and stop fracking
   altogether in California.

   [3]Tell Governor Brown: Shut down all illegal oil wastewater injection
   wells in California, and impose an immediate moratorium on fracking. Click
   here to sign the petition.

   Since 2011 Governor Brown received repeated warnings from the EPA that his
   administration wasn???t doing enough to protect groundwater from oil waste
   injection wells.

   Not only did he ignore these, he doubled-down for the oil industry.
   According to reporting by the Associated Press, in 2012 Governor Brown
   declared:

     "The oil rigs are moving in Kern County. We want to use our resources...
     our sun and all the other sources of power. It's not going to be easy.
     There???s going to be screw-ups. There???s going to be bankruptcies.
     There'll be indictments, and there'll be deaths. But we???re going to
     keep going. Nothing???s going to stop us."^2

   There???ll be deaths!?! Nothing???s going to stop us!?! Really Governor
   Brown?

   It is long past time for Governor Brown to turn the page from this
   stunningly dangerous and reckless approach.

   Here???s the reality: Governor Brown clearly supports fracking and has
   resisted our calls to ban it. But he is in his last term as governor, he
   will likely not run again for office, and he doesn???t need to worry about
   pressure or future funding from the oil industry.

   This damning scandal, however ??? and how he responds to it ??? will help
   define his legacy. Making sure he hears our voices as this scandal unfolds
   is the best way we can make the case against fracking.

   [4]Tell Governor Brown: Shut down all illegal oil wastewater injection
   wells in California, and impose an immediate moratorium on fracking. Click
   here to sign the petition.

   In response to an EPA-imposed deadline, Governor Brown's administration
   proposed closing up to 140 of the roughly 2,500 illegal injection wells by
   October. In short, far too little, far too late.

   But even this appallingly inadequate response has prompted oil industry
   shills like the Western States Petroleum Association's Tupper Hull to
   complain that shutting down illegal injection wells would be an
   unreasonable burden on the oil industry.

   Our state's devastating drought, which has forced many communities to cope
   with mandatory or voluntary water rationing, may not give pause to the oil
   industry???s dangerous thirst for profit threatening californians. But it
   should give pause to the governor who has been sworn to protect us.

   wells in California, and impose an immediate moratorium on fracking. Click

   Thank you for fighting fracking.

Thanks to all for your interest in this issue.
It's getting complicated and confusing. Sorry.
Before the events - pizza party and the Selma movie -
I emailed people informally -  not as an official Occupy thing -
to see if anyone could help and I got  several donations.  I did
not expect to be paid back by Occupy, but after the events,
when I mentioned to an Occupier how they had gone and for the
price - over $200, she  suggested that I bring the issue up at the
next meeting, which I did, and that maybe some money from our
Occupy account could be contributed.  It was decided that because
of the low attendance at the meeting we'd talk about it at the
next meeting.
So, I am learning from this whole process.  And I appreciate
your support!
And I vote Yes!
Irene

Breaking: Champions Introduce Important New Legislation!

Ask Your Members of Congress to Support Bills to Label Genetically
Engineered Foods!

http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=QeNwDZXuCS9HbPnUPU726Q

Dear Agnes,

Great news! Strong legislation has been introduced in
Congress to label genetically engineered foods (GMOs)! This is a great
step forward, but we know we'll have an uphill battle to get this
legislation passed. Can you ask your members of Congress to co-sponsor
the Bills to Label Genetically Engineered Foods?

http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=fnmJxlbbIE84c7nPpo6GWw

Why is this important? Often people ask us why this even
matters. Here are answers to some of the most Frequently Asked
Questions we get on this topic:

Question: What is a genetically engineered food or GMO?

Answer: A genetically engineered food is a plant or animal that has
been changed by taking genes from one species and inserting them into
the DNA of another species or altering the DNA in a way that could
never happen through traditional cross-breeding or in nature.

Question: Aren't genetically engineered foods safe?

Answer: The approval process for new GMO crops in the U.S. is
extremely weak and relies solely on the safety tests done by the
corporations that are creating these crops. Right now, most crops are
approved by federal regulators under the "generally recognized as
safe" provision, which means that if a GMO corn variety looks and
"acts" like the non-GMO version of corn, it is approved.

Question: But don't farmers need genetically engineered foods to feed
the growing world population?

Answer: Over 99% of the GMO crops that are being planted today are
engineered to withstand strong chemical applications, or to produce
their own pesticides. Often, the chemical companies like Monsanto, Dow
and DuPont that create GMO crops also create the chemicals that have
to be used with the crops, so the main benefit of these patented crops
is for the companies and their profits. Additionally, most of these
GMO crops - like corn, soybeans, canola and cotton - are
not grown as food for direct human consumption, but rather for animal
feed, or to create ingredients in processed foods.

Question: If over 90% of Americans support the labeling of GMOs, why
hasn't Congress or the Food and Drug Administration done anything?

Answer:
What we eat and feed our families has a direct impact on our health
and
well-being, and we have a right to know if the food we're eating has

been altered in a way that could never happen in nature.
Unfortunately,
the big food industries spend millions lobbying Congress and federal
agencies to keep labels off of GMO foods. The Grocery
Manufacturers Association, which represents the biggest food and
chemical companies, has spent over $50 million to defeat labeling
initiatives in multiple states.

Question: Why should I take action and ask my members of Congress to
support this legislation?

Answer: Genetically engineered crops are in most processed foods but
are unlabeled, so many people who wish to avoid foods with GMO
ingredients don't know where they are lurking. GMOs are untested and
it's unknown how these engineered foods may be impacting our health
and the environment. At the very least, shouldn't we have a choice to
avoid them if we want to?

Ask your Members of Congress to support labeling of genetically
engineered foods.

http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=JaZer4Ti7yZSdf88S5sYqg

In addition to the good legislation that has been introduced, we're
also expecting bad legislation to be introduced any day that would
take away states' rights to label GMOs.

Can you take action today to ask your Members of Congress to support
the GMO labeling bills and oppose any bills that would limit states'
rights to label genetically engineered foods?

http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=9_owS55JzUM946oOwbZOrA

At the end of the day, it all comes down to who gets to decide what
you are eating. Shouldn't that person be you?

Thanks for taking action,

Sarah Alexander

foods? Check out our research report on GMOs.

      Defend Planned Parenthood against Republican attacks

   Tell Republicans in Congress:
   "Do not defund Planned Parenthood."

   Dear Agnes,

                                                   [2][IMG]

   When Republicans in Congress want to attack women, they go after Planned
   Parenthood.

   Planned Parenthood provides vital reproductive health care services to
   millions of women a year. With women???s access to health care under
   constant assault by the radical right, Planned Parenthood is often the
   only place where women can go to get cancer screenings, prenatal care, STD
   testing, birth control and abortions.

   Republicans have already introduced bills in the House and the Senate to
   defund all of Planned Parenthood's non-abortion services.^1 It???s a
   blatant attempt to throw women and their families under the bus in order
   to score points for their extremist, anti-woman agenda.

   [3]Tell Republicans: Don???t play politics with women???s lives. Keep your
   hands off Planned Parenthood. Click here to sign the petition.

   Planned Parenthood does invaluable work providing health care for women,
   and defending women???s rights. When Republicans scheme to defund them,
   they???re not just threatening women???s lives, they???re also
   aggressively attacking one of most important progressive advocates for
   women in the country.

   The assault on Planned Parenthood will be relentless in this Republican
   Congress. We have to show that every time they attack, we???ll fight back.
   If enough of us stand up, we can make it clear that the Republican party
   will pay a political price if it wages war on women in order to pander to
   its anti-choice base.

   Tell Congressional Republicans: Stand up for women, not your extremist
   base. Don???t defund Planned Parenthood. Click the link below to sign the
   petition:

Hey folks,
As one person in a health food store pointed out, political money comes from pressing a button on a computer, not from a stamped bill. However, this reminds people every day how their elections are being controlled and bought. 25 years ago in Garberville I was handed change with a marijuana leaf stamped on it. This was a reminder of how the underground economy was intertwined with every day businesses.

Our giant stamped dollar bill mobile billboard is a big hit! Check it out:

The Stampede is getting bigger -- over 30,000 stampers nationwide. But to really knock people's socks off, we're making money in politics the leading issue in the upcoming New Hampshire primary. We're flooding the state with stamped bills.
Our goal is to reach the people of NH by stamping over 3 million dollars -- 10% of the currency in the state -- with #GetMoneyOut messages. It's never been done before, but that's the power of the Stampede.

And it doesn't stop at stamping -- we're already making headlines <http://stampstampede.nationbuilder.com/r?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nh1.com%2Fvideos%2Fbig-money-in-campaigns-creates-controversy%2F&utm_campaign=020915nhlaunch&n=3&e=50b0e1e0d6d7df2b4d74a9276599c71b&utm_source=stampstampede&utm_medium=email>! Our big mobile billboards are showing up on TV and stampers and other supporters of the movement swamped the New Hampshire statehouse to support hearings about the consequences of Citizens United. We even have a team of local organizers working with stampers across the state to get stampers involved and work with communities to get the word out. If you or someone you know lives in NH, now is the time get stamping!

New Hampshire is where it starts. Together, we'll take the fight to Congress. The Key Is To Keep On Stamping.

They are going to unveil the Tesla home battery, the consumer battery that would be for use in people's houses or businesses fairly soon," CEO Elon Musk said, according to Bloomberg.
On Tesla's earnings call, CTO JB Straubel said the company would most likely hold an event in the next "month or two" to reveal the battery, according to a Seeking Alpha transcript. The battery would enter production in "about six months or so."

Dear Occupy,
I notice form the meeting minutes we are discussing selling the OM hats and shirts.  I am against that. I propose keeping them to have for future events we might have. They would also be good for gifts. I put in the original shirt order and there was a considerable amount of work getting it together to sell at bargain prices just to get rid of them.  I don't think we need the money now.

Richard, 
  I appreciate your viewpoint but I brought it up because I have been lugging them around to events for over two years now without selling any. Please come to the next meeting as we will vote on it. If you want to take over the responsibility for them, I will agree  to your objection.

Dear OM friends,
     Since I wont be at the next 2/21 meeting I am sending you an intro to
the words of Bill McKibben:
 " there is a tendency at every important, but difficult crossroad to
pretend that it's not really there."
  I urge you to look in Wikipedia for Bill McKibben, author, educator and
environmentalist Bill McKibben's speech "Just Do the Math" published in
the Rolling Stones 2012 magazine.
    He's written extensively on Global Warming and is the
recipient of the Schumann Distinguished Scholar at Middlebury College.
He's  the leader of the anti-carbon campaign group 350.org, and led the
campaign against the Keystone XL Pipeline and spent 3 days in jail in
D.C. with hundreds of other activists.It was the largest civil
disobedience action in the U.S. in decades. He also convened the Global
Day against fossil fuels at which some of you attended in Caspar.

Love,
Agnes

Friends,
Please send this to family and friends in Oregon. Tell them the trade deal
has no place for amendments and is anti-democratic,negotiations were held

total corporate rule. Please read reasons below.
Thanks,

      Agnes --

   We've just learned that the Trans-Pacific Partnership -- the trade deal,
   negotiated in secret, that many are calling "NAFTA on steroids" -- may
   have an important new Democratic ally.

   Oregon Senator Ron Wyden is reportedly working with Republicans like Paul
   Ryan and Orrin Hatch to pass the TPP. Their goal: to grease the wheels to
   get the TPP through Congress without proper review or a chance to make any
   changes to the deal itself.

   As soon as next week, it appears that Senators Wyden and Hatch may
   introduce legislation giving the White House "fast track authority" that
   would limit Congressional power to review and fix the TPP.

   What Senator Wyden doesn't know is that we just got back polling, which
   we'll release on Thursday, that shows Oregonians don't want the TPP or
   fast track authority.

   In addition, Senator Elizabeth Warren and other progressive leaders have
   come out strongly against TPP and fast track. If Senator Wyden helps
   Republicans and a few Democrats succeed in giving the president this fast
   track authority, it will become much more difficult to stop the TPP.
   That's why we need to let Senator Wyden know we don't want him to cut this
   deal.

   [1]Sign DFA's petition before it's too late: Tell Sen. Ron Wyden to stand
   with Elizabeth Warren now and drop his potential legislation that would
   give the White House fast track authority on the Trans-Pacific
   Partnership.

   Corporate lobbyists are trying to jam this bad deal through Congress
   because they know that the American people won't like what's in it. So
   far, we know that the TPP will:

     * Make it easier to move jobs overseas and slash wages here at home
       (which is why many unions oppose it);
     * Roll back important environmental protections (which is why the Sierra
       Club opposes it);
     * Undermine Net Neutrality (which is why the Electronic Frontier
       Foundation opposes it);
     * Reverse regulations on tax giveaways to Wall Street banks (which is
       why Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders oppose it)

   Perhaps the worst thing about this secretly negotiated trade deal is that
   it actually allows multi-national corporations to sue the U.S. Government
   in special international tribunals to overturn ANY law Congress might pass
   that these corporations don't like. That's right, ANY regulation America
   passes could be overturned by an international tribunal.

   As the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, Ron Wyden is in a
   key position. He can join corporations and Republicans to undermine
   opposition to the TPP. Or he can side with Elizabeth Warren and
   progressives from across America and drop his intention to give the White
   House fast track authority.

   [2]That's where you come in. Sign this DFA petition and tell Ron Wyden:
   Don't give the president fast track authority for the TPP.

   Thank you for taking a stand against this terrible deal, along with
   Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and the labor and environmental
   communities.

   - Charles

   Charles Chamberlain, Executive Director
   Democracy for America

   P.S. On Thursday, DFA will release new polling that shows Senator Wyden's
   constituents in Oregon don't want the TPP and don't want fast-track
   authority. Check your inbox on Thursday for more details.

Present: Sheila, Bobn, Dan, Linda, Irene, Ann

- MCN Web account is paid, but they want a contact person to be available to interact with.  The person does not have to be a MCN account holder.  Dan will be the go-to man.
- P&J Money - Zac wants ti transfer $ but who will sign?  Sheila will talk to Mendo/Lake Credit Union and will also speak to CalTrans about doing the Highway cleanup around Caspar.  They will provide bags, gloves, garbage pickers, and safety vests.  We need to pick a day and go out every other week for a few hours.  Ann will help.
- Process -  The process for getting reimbursement for money paid out is to discuss it first at a meeting and get approval, not to spend money then go on e-mail to get approval.  No money will be paid out of treasury unless decision is made by a vote at a meeting.  Irene spent $221 for pizza and a movie for the Freedom singers, and $60 was donated by individuals, so O/M will cover the cost of $100 to repay Irene.  Bob's expenses for helping Barbara settle in Lake Co were $60 for gas, which O/M will cover.  If Barbara is able to repay Bob, he will reimburse Occupy. 
- Break in meetings- Sheila suggests we have a regular meeting on March 7th but skip the 3/21 as it is Whale Festival in Ft Bragg and people are busy.  We will resume regular meetings 2 times a month in April.
- New editor of Advocate-News has already quit.  She covered MLK and posted good pictures, so we hope they hire another good editor soon.
- Ali Boecker having a meeting/potluck on Community Rights trip to meet with Paul Cienfuegos and his activists in Minnesota recently.  It is Sun 2/22 at her Simpson Road house 3pm and she will give us a CRNMC update.
 - Discounting T-shirts and Hats- Sheila wants to cut the prices of our items, as Shirts are $15 ea or 2/$25 and hats $15.  Richard and Ann are against discounting them until we can have a flea market sale or a yard sale.  We will see if Stan Miklose will put them on consignment in Down Home Foods.  We will discuss this again in April.
-RDC in Mendo- We have been waiting to take space in the RDC but Justin has been hard to contact, but Sheila will find out if we can have our 99 cent sale in April.  There is a little alley there where we might have a good turnout.
- Street Protest- Sheila wants to count honks and keep track of how many people we interact with on the street. Richard or Dan can put info on our O/M Facebook page.  

Meeting adjourned 3:08 pm.

Hi All,
    I am against cancelling the meeting for march 21, I am giving a more
complete report to Jim Tarbell's class and want the students to know
we will be at the Sr. Ctr.
We may gain new members from the activist group that are in the College
class. Not good if no one shows up. i plan to be there, also that's the
Roadshow night Jessie is singing in.
Love,
Agnes

> 
> A Strike Against Student Debt
> 
> THIS week a group of former students calling themselves the Corinthian 15 announced that they were committing a new kind of civil disobedience: a debt strike. They are refusing to make any more payments on their federal student loans <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/s/student_loans/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier>.
> 
> Along with many others, they found themselves in significant debt after attending programs at the Corinthian Colleges, a collapsed chain of for-profit schools <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/f/forprofit_schools/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier> that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has accused of running a ?predatory lending scheme.? While the bureau has announced a plan to reduce some of the students? private loan debts, the strikers are demanding that the Department of Education use its authority to discharge their federal loans as well.
> 
> These 15 students are members of the Debt Collective <https://debtcollective.org/>, an organization that evolved out of a project I helped start in 2012 called the Rolling Jubilee. Until now, we have worked in the secondary debt market, using crowdfunded donations to buy portfolios of medical and educational debts for pennies on the dollar, just as debt collectors do.
> 
> Only, instead of collecting on them, we abolish them, operating under the belief that people shouldn?t go into debt for getting sick or going to school. This week, we erased $13 million of ?unpaid tuition receivables? belonging to 9,438 people associated with Everest College, a Corinthian subsidiary.
> 
> But this approach has its limits. Federal loans, for example, are guaranteed by the government, and debtors can be freed of them ? via bankruptcy ? only under exceedingly rare circumstances. That means they aren?t sold at steep discounts and remain out of our reach. What?s more, America?s mountain of student debt is too immense for the Jubilee to make a significant dent in it.
> 
> Real change will require more organized actions like those taken by the Corinthian 15.
> 
> If anyone deserves debt relief ? morally and legally ? it?s these students. For-profit colleges are notorious for targeting low-income minorities, single mothers and veterans with high-pressure, misleading recruitment techniques. The schools slurp up about a quarter of all federal student aid money, more than $30 billion a year, while their students run up a lifetime of debt for a degree arguably worth no more than a high school diploma.
> 
> But for-profit schools aren?t the only problem. Degrees earned from traditional colleges can also leave students unfairly burdened.
> 
> Today, a majority of outstanding student loans are in deferral, delinquency or default. As state funding for education has plummeted, public colleges have raised tuition. Private university costs are skyrocketing, too, rising roughly 25 percent over the last decade. That?s why every class of graduates is more in the red than the last.
> 
> Modest fixes are not enough. Consider the interest rate tweaks or income-based repayment plans offered by the Obama administration. They lighten the debt burden on some ? but not everyone qualifies. They do nothing to address the $165 billion private loan market, where interest rates are often the most punishing, or how higher education is financed.
> 
> Americans now owe $1.2 trillion in student debt, a number predicted by the think tank Demos to climb to $2 trillion by 2025. What if more people from all types of educational institutions and with all kinds of debts followed the example of the Corinthian 15, and strategically refused to pay back their loans? This would transform the debts into leverage to demand better terms, or even a better way of funding higher education altogether.
> 
> The quickest fix would be a full-scale student debt cancellation. For students at predatory colleges like Corinthian, this could be done immediately by the Department of Education. For the broader population of students, it would most likely take an act of Congress.
> 
> Student debt cancellation would mean forgone revenue in the near term, but in the long term it could be an economic stimulus worth much more than the immediate cost. Money not spent paying off loans would be spent elsewhere. In that situation, lenders, debt collectors, servicers, guaranty agencies, asset-backed security investors and others who profit from student loans would suffer the most from debt forgiveness.
> 
> We also need to bring back the option of a public, tuition-free college education once represented by institutions like the University of California, which charged only token fees. By the Rolling Jubilee?s estimate <http://strikedebt.org/how-far-to-free/>, every public two- and four-year college and university in the United States could be made tuition-free by redirecting all current educational subsidies and tax exemptions straight to them and adding approximately $15 billion in annual spending.
> 
> This might sound like a lot, but it?s a small price to pay to restore America?s place on the long list of countries that provide tuition-free education.
> 
> To get there, more groups like the Corinthian 15 will have to show that they are willing to throw a wrench in the gears of the system by threatening to withhold payment on their debt. Everyone deserves a quality education. We need to come up with a better way to provide it than debt and default.

Message-ID: <4206DC1C-65BA-4CDC-A36C-38A53BC00D7A@att.net>

Can we still stop global warming? Only if we radically change our capitalist system, argues author Naomi Klein. In an interview with SPIEGEL, she explains why the time has come to abandon small steps for a radical new approach.
