Hi Jessie - and Happy 2015! I hope you are well and feeling happy

I wish you had been there too. I left the meeting feeling really 
energized. I am guessing that there were around 30 or so people in 
attendance. It was a casual exchange of ideas, suggestions and some 
discussion on things like:

Where do we go from here, now that we successfully passed Measure S?
Did the language used in Measure S afford us more far-reaching benefits 
than we realized?
What specific changes still need to be addressed in our communities?
What "on the ground"activities or strategies can we think of to move 
forward and implement solutions?
How do we become a more cohesive, sharing and collaborative network?

I made a few new and much appreciated connections (in the areas of local 
food, time banks, solutions to homelessness, and MRC's consistent 
applications of persistent poisons.) I also gained a much needed sense 
of validation.

Tammy

I appreciate Ruby's sentiments, as well as everyone else. I haven't been consistantly present and I can certainly acknowledge the real work that several of you have been doing. I have at least a couple of photos online holding signs so that if we get put into camps, I'll be with the right people. :)

I applauded the spirit and action of the girls, online, they seem aware of what they are doing and the choices they've made. They deserve the opportunity to test present boundaries and find self expression, which is part of what school is all about, without being repressed because of everyone's fears. Choose love over fear is my most basic motto.

Also, I thought the article of Ms. Benefield of the Press Democrat was fair and equitable in covering the various issues, sides and expressions of the issues and stating the various questions, for all of us, that these issues bring up.?Benefield: Muting protest by Mendocino girls is an

 Dear Ms Nancy Wallace-Nelson
 

 If this is not important to you, then you should not participate. But
 please do not tell anyone else what is important to them or what they
 should do. If we can grieve over Officer Fiorentino - which we
 rightfully and righteously did - we can grieve over the death of
 innocent black and other people of color.
 
 The only real heroes at the moment are the courageous young girls who
 refused to go along with this outrageous suppression of people's
 voices. Much more important than any game could ever be.

Subject: [Occupymendocino] California releases fracking regulations six
	months before studies are complete
Message-ID: <2AD34418-F50F-4634-9E9A-655E4368EE13@mcn.org>

California releases fracking regulations six months before studies are complete

Governor Jerry Brown continued to live up to his reputation as "Big Oil Brown" with his administration's release of the finalized text of the state's regulations for fracking and well stimulation on Tuesday, December 30.

Although Senate Bill 4, passed in September 2013, requires California's Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) to complete an environmental impact report and approve an independent scientific study, "neither one of those documents were ready in time to inform the final rules," according to a news release from CAFrack Facts (http://www.cafrackfacts.org).

Although the regulations have been finalized, they will not go into effect until July 1st due to delays in coordinating multiple agencies.

?California has essentially reversed the regulatory process when it comes to fracking,? said Jackie Pomeroy, spokesperson for CAFrackFacts. ?State regulators  have finalized California's fracking rules a full six months before any of the mandated scientific studies have been completed. Given the long-term and potentially irreversible impacts of fracking and well stimulation, it is critical that we make policy decisions based on science?unfortunately, the current timeline makes this impossible.?

Pomeroy noted that in contrast to California, New York recently decided to continue its moratorium on fracking after concluding that the practice poses unknown  risks to human health and safety.

After his team spent several years and over 4,500 hours reviewing scientific research, New York?s Commissioner of Health, Dr. Howard Zucker, declared that, ?there are questions that remain unanswered from lack of scientific analysis, specifically longitudinal studies of [fracking].?

He concluded, ?Would I live in a community with [fracking] based on the facts that I have now? Would I let my child play in a school field nearby? After looking at the plethora of reports behind me ... my answer is no."

"New York is the first state to put the science before the politics and come to a conclusion based on the weight of the evidence,? explains Seth B.C. Shonkoff, Executive Director of PSE Healthy Energy. "The decision is a clear example of how bringing scientific transparency to the issue - highlighting what we know and don't know - is an important component of responsible energy policy decision making.?

For more information on California's fracking regulations you can go to:http://www.conservation.ca.gov/...

Jerry Brown, once known as "Governor Moonbeam" for his quirkiness and eccentricities during his first two administrations from 1975 to 1983,  transformed himself into "Big Oil Brown" during his third administration. He will be inaugurated in his fourth term as Governor on January 5, 2015.  

Big Oil strongly supported the amended version of Senate Bill 4, the green light to fracking bill, that Brown signed in September 2013. Just ask Catherine Reheis-Boyd, the President of the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) and former chair of the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Initiative Blue Ribbon Task Force for the South Coast, who praised the governor's signing of Senate Bill 4 for creating the "environmental" platform to expand fracking in California.(http://www.wspa.org/...)  

The Western States Petroleum Association is the most powerful corporate lobbying organization in Sacramento and has spent $31,179,039 since January 1, 2009 to lobby against anti-fracking measures and California's environmental laws, according to a report written by Will Barrett, the Senior Policy Analyst for the American Lung Association in California. (http://www.lung.org/...)  

Besides supporting the expansion of fracking in California, Governor Brown has also rushed the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) to build two massive tunnels under the Delta, the most environmentally destructive public works project in California history; presided over record water exports at the Delta pumps in 2011; pushed water policies that have driven Delta smelt, longfin smelt, Sacramento splittail, Central Valley salmon and other fish populations to the edge of extinction; and implemented the oil industry lobbyist-overseen "marine protected areas" created under the privately-funded Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Initiative.

For an in-depth review of Governor Brown's environmental record, go to:http://www.counterpunch.org/...

What is fracking? Fracking is an unconventional oil and gas extraction process that involves injecting fluids into the ground at high pressure, according to CAFrackFacts. Although it varies by project, the fluids generally include a mixture of water, sand and hundreds of different chemicals, including benzene and hydrofluoric acid. This high-pressure injection creates fractures in rock formations where oil and gas is trapped. The fractures?held open by grains of sand in the fracking fluid?enable oil and gas to be released and pulled to the surface. (http://www.cafrackfacts.org/...)

Message-ID: <c68eda013d8edd0d0cd80e4aa3cfec4f.squirrel@webmail.mcn.org>

Dear Friends of Occupy Mendocino,

In Naomi Klein's new book :This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the
Climate she reminds us that Al Gore called Climate Change an "inconvenient
truth" as an inescapable fact we prefer to ignore.

In the chapter called Beyond Extraction there is a story about a small
island in the South pacific just 21 square Kilometers, called Nauru.

the Australian government was proud of its protectorate of 10,000 people
in 1985. Then an A.P. article said that Nauru had the highest per capita
gross national product-even higher than the Persian gulf Sheikdoms.
Everyone in Nauru had free health care,housing and education.

All the wealth was derived from an odd geological factor. For  thousands
of years the island was nothing but a cluster of coral reefs protruding
from the waves.Nauru became the pit stop for migrating birds who dropped
by to feast on shell fish and mollusks.Gradually the bird poop  built up
between the coral spires forming a hard rocky land mass. the rock was
eventually covered over with topsoil and dense forests. This created a
tropical oasis
of coconut palms, tranquil beaches and thatched huts. Nauruans lived on
fish and black noddy birds. Visitors called it Pleasant Isle.

That began to change after a colonial officer picked up a rock that was
later found to be mostly phosphate of lime- a valuable agricultural
fertilizer. foreign companies began mining phosphate and Nauru began
developing at super speeds. The catch was Nauru was simultaneously
commiting suicide.

In the 1960s the island looked pleasant enough from the sea, but it was an
illusion. Behind the narrow fringe of coconut palms circling the island
was an interior ravaged of forest and topsoil. Nauruans could not grow
their own food. the phosphate had been mined down to the bones. All you
could see  was a forest of ghostly coral totems.

What happened to the people? They had  imported processed food and suffered
an epidemic of diseases, diabetes and early death.
The australian government offered a permanent home to the Nauruans.
In effect Nauru was developed to disappear- designed by the Australian
government and extractive companies who controlled her fate ---as a
disposable country.

In 1968  the now independent government of Nauru invested their mining
profits in Hawaiian and Australian real estate while winding down
phosphate mining. The plan to rebuild the island failed.  Nauru now
desperate for foreign cash pursued some shady get-rich-schemes.

In the 1990s,during a  period of financial deregulation- the island became
the prime money laundering  haven where banks paid no taxes, were free
from oversight and regulation.  according to the 2000 NY Times magazine
Nauru was featured as Public Enemy No. 1 of all the money laundering sites
whose total value had ballooned to a $5 Trillion Shadow economy.In total
they were home to 400 Phantom Banks.

However, these schemes caught up with Nauru. It faces not only ecological
bancrupcy but with an $800 Million debt Nauru faces financial bancrupcy.
I quote Naomi Klein here "The island nation is highly vulnerable to a
crisis it had no part in creating.Climate Change- the drought, ocean
acidification and rising water  it brings. Speaking at the 1997 United
nations Climate Conference that adopted the Kyoto protocols- the then
President of Nauru described the collective claustrophobia that gripped
the country.
      "We are trapped, a wasteland at our back and to our front a
terrifying, rising flood of biblical proportions."

Klein says "Few places on earth embody the suicidal results of building
our economies on polluting extraction more graphically than Nauru. "Thanks
to the mining of phosphates Nauru has spent the last century  disappearing
from the inside out.Now thanks to our collective mining of fossil fuels it
is disappearing from the outside in." In 2011the then-President of Nauru
wrote in the NY Times Mag.Marcus Stephens wrote that Nauru provides a
cautionary tale about life in a place with ecological limits."

What can we do to face the extractive economy of oil and gas?

What can we do to slow down the warming below 2 degrees celcius within the
next ten years?
Speak out to keep carbon in the ground and in the forests. Help stop the
Keystone XL Pipeline- a bill will be introduced in the next few days by
the Republican Congress of Climate change deniers. We may have to block
the tar sands pipeline and support Canadian Indian Treaty Rights to save
the earth.

Canadian Neil Young's Supported "Native Treaty Rights Concert" raised
$600,000 for a  fight in the courts to defend Treaties of unceeded lands
where tar sands oil in Alberta would release massive amounts of heat
trapping methane gas is our legal defense to keep carbon in the ground.
Speak out, civil disobedience is required to stop the mad rush to
ecological suicide.

Subject: [Occupymendocino] A cautionary tale of a Placewith hard ecologicallimits.

Nauru is a tiny island, population 12,000, a third of the size of Manhattan and far from anywhere: Yet at the center of several of the decade's biggest global events. Contributing editor Jack Hitt tells the untold story of this dot in the middle of the Pacific and its involvement in the bankrupting of the Russian economy, global terrorism, North Korean defectors, the end of the world, and the late 1980s theatrical flop of a London musical based on the life of Leonardo da Vinci called Leonardo, A Portrait of Love. (30 minutes)

** Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has begun 2015 with a promise to
act quickly on Fast Track
(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/07/mcconnell-fast-track_n_6432118.html)
, stating that "it???s an enormous grant of power," but "that???s how much
we believe in trade..." Meanwhile, Obama is re-doubling his efforts
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-hopes-to-enlist-gop-in-push-for-trade-pact-despite-democratic-resistance/2014/12/26/81236a34-8600-11e4-b9b7-b8632ae73d25_story.html)
to find as many allies as he can when it comes to corporate-backed
agreements.

Without a doubt, the threat of Fast Track is reaching its height. And if
we're going to build resistance strong enough to defeat this second
attempt, we need to be ready to act ??? and act fast.

for trade justice this year!
------------------------------------------------------------


**
As hard as proponents of toxic trade are working, we know that the power
of those organizing against it is growing. Just yesterday, House
representatives opposing Fast Track packed the room
(http://www.c-span.org/video/?323650-1/news-conference-opposition-fast-track-authority&live)
during a press conference on their concerns around secretive free trade
agreements. And last week, communities across Oregon rallied
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EthHnO57Vwc) to show Fast Track champion
Senator Wyden that no such bill is welcome in his home state.
------------------------------------------------------------



** Together, we'll prove that we can stop any version of Fast Track
(https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1BOTCSGa8gkhzUp6UGeISFKNZrOkXptx8tEk6O4MqZCs)
they send our way ??? and with it, any free trade agreements meant to harm
people and the planet.

Looking forward to talking with you soon

Subject: Thought you'd be interested in signing this petition I just
signed a petition to demand the Chairwoman of the Federal Reserve to
immediately implement the Volcker rule without any further delay. The
Federal Reserve's delay of the Volcker Rule means banks can keep
profiting, and we're still on the hook for bailouts. We can't let this
stand. Thought you'd be interested in signing the petition too.

Why Wages Won't Rise
By Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog
15 January 15
 
obs are coming back, but pay isn?t. The median wage is still below where it was before the Great Recession. Last month, average pay actually fell. 

What?s going on? It used to be that as unemployment dropped, employers had to pay more to attract or keep the workers they needed. That?s what happened when I was labor secretary in the late 1990s.

On February 7th, the California climate movement is showing up in force on
Governor Jerry Brown???s doorstep, Oakland, CA to let
him know he is not a climate leader if he continues to
allow the rapid expansion of oil and gas industry in California.



Amidst the worst drought in California history, water intensive oil
and gas extraction, promoting fracking, and shipping in tar sands from
Canada and oil from the Bakken shale is not climate leadership, it???s
more of the same shortsighted fossil fuel status quo.



By turning out thousands in Oakland, we???re showing our power to unite
during this historic drought and put Governor Jerry Brown???s climate
legacy on the line. The March for Real Climate Leadership is inviting
communities and organizations across the movement to say loud and
clear -- Our water, our health and our California come first.



What: March for Real Climate Leadership
: Our Water, Our Health, Our California

Where: Downtown Oakland

When: Saturday, February 7th, 2015 @ TBA

RSVP to the March: marchforclimateleadership.org

Get There: marchforclimateleadership.org/transportation
 Some bus spots are free but limited. Check the rideboard for details.

Anything Else? Don???t forget the wear blue!



Join us on February 7th to tell Governor Jerry Brown that if he won???t be a
real
 climate leader and stand up to the fossil fuel industry, we will ???
because this is about our water, our health, and our California.



Go to marchforclimateleadership.org
 for info on the march. To organize a bus, train or group ride to
Oakland, contact Ash
ALauth at biologicaldiversity.org.

 Hardworking Americans have relied on Social Security for almost eight

could leave Social Security in crisis -- and its future in serious danger.

We need to protect the benefits that Americans count on.

      Tell Senate Democrats: Save Senator Elizabeth Warren???s consumer
   protection agency

   Petition to Senate Democrats:
   "Oppose any changes that would undermine the Consumer Financial Protection
   Bureau???s ability to continue protecting millions of Americans from
   financial scams and predatory lenders, including any alterations to the
   agency???s leadership structure, funding, or regulatory authority."

   Add your name:

   Dear Agnes,

                                                [2]Elizabeth_Warren_Save_CFPB

   At a time when shady lenders and out-of-control banks were profiting from
   scamming consumers, Senator Elizabeth Warren dreamed of an effective
   watchdog dedicated to protecting ordinary Americans: the Consumer
   Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

   Since its creation in 2011, the CFPB has begun the overdue work of what
   Senator Warren intended: reining in mortgage lenders, delivering refunds
   to victims of credit card scams, and more. But now, former Representative
   Barney Frank is warning that Republicans will attempt ???de-fang??? the
   agency, and news reports have suggested that the agency would be the
   Republican senate???s ???first target??? and that ???no achievement of
   President Obama???s faces more risk.???^1,2,3

   The Republican House has already passed legislation to dismantle, defund,
   or sabotage the CFPB, and conservatives are plotting to finish the job in
   the Senate. This is why we are joining our friends from National
   People???s Action, Americans for Financial Reform, and other allies in the
   progressive movement in demanding the Democrats block and fight back
   against any and all attacks against Senator Warren???s consumer protection
   agency.

   [3]Tell Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer: Save Sen.
Warren???s consumer
   protection agency. Click here to sign the petition.

   In just a few short years, the CFPB has reined in abuses by debt
   collectors, taken on for-profit colleges, protected home-buyers from
   unscrupulous lenders, investigated predatory private student loan
   companies, insisted on mortgage safeguards, recouped millions for military
   families who were overcharged or lost homes to foreclosure, unearthed the
   unethical practices of student debt collectors, and shed light on dozens
   of predatory lending practices and consumer scams. And it only came into
   existence in 2011!^4

   Senator Warren???s brainchild agency is saving Americans money and keeping
   them out of the clutches of predatory lenders. To protect it, we???re
   partnering with National People???s Action, Americans for Financial
   Reform, and other progressive allies to demand that Democrats oppose any
   and all attempts to cripple or undermine the CFPB.

   In years past, the Republican House has approved all sorts of attacks on
   the agency. They have attempted to defund it, by moving its funding source
   from the Federal Reserve to congressional appropriations they control.
   They tried to eliminate a fund that the CFPB uses to reimburse victims of
   fraud and let other regulators that are friendlier to lenders overrule the
   agency. They even tried to place limits on what kind of data CFPB can
   collect, because too many people were sharing such heartbreaking stories
   of abuse and fraud.^5

   Perhaps most dangerously, Republicans have proposed replacing the
   agency???s single, strong director with a set of commissioners ??? many,
   no doubt, appointed by bank-friendly politicians. CREDO members fought
   long and hard to get President Obama to appoint Ohio Attorney General
   Richard Cordray as the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection
   Bureau, and we cannot let Wall Street???s puppet politicians undo that
   victory.

   [4]Tell Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer: Save Sen.
Warren???s consumer
   protection agency. Click here to sign the petition.

   We know that Senator Warren will fight fiercely for her brainchild. But
   many other Senate Democrats are far more cozy with big banks ??? even
   voting with Republicans to undo Wall Street reform in the first week of
   the new Congress.^6 Even Democrats who support strong consumer protections
   may get weak in the knees if an attack on the CFPB is slipped into
   legislation funding the government or raising the debt ceiling.

   But if Democrats stand united, they will protect millions of everyday
   Americans ??? and draw a sharp contrast showing which party is willing to
   fight for the middle class.

   Progressive champions need to hear that we will stand with them if they
   fight tooth and nail. And we need to issue a warning to Senate Democrats
   pondering siding with shady lenders whose deep pockets are the result of
   exploiting struggling constituents.

   If Senate Democrats stand together, we can block Republican attacks and
   save the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Click the link below to
   sign the petition to save CFPB:

**November 11, 2014 ??? Please forward widely*

*???Si, se puede!??? ???Yes, we can!???*

*Stop Fast Track and Stop the TPP???the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade
agreement*

Don???t let the TPP take away our democratic rights as individuals and as
community! We must continue to assert our rights over corporate rights and
stop the corporate, political and financial elite from establishing global
corporate rule by ???free??? trade agreement
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=wCRBCVQfd79FBjE2QQ3ou9LeMxpRW1IN>
.

Overall the TPP will impact local and national economies so as to
accelerate inequality, exploitation of the working class, privatization and
the higher cost of essential public services (including creating a market
for water), increased land grabs and mining, and put people and the planet
at great risk of global warming and extreme weather.

*Join the week of action from November 8-14 to Stop Fast Track???Part of the
Global Week of Action to Stop the TPP. *

This past Saturday, 10,000 people marched in cities across New Zealand
against the TPP and unjust trade. And this Monday, activists began
delivering thousands of signatures to Sen. Wyden demanding that he
#StopFastTrack, as others marched across the Capitol to remind all members
of Congress that the TPP must be stopped.

Why action this week? This week Pres. Obama travels to Asia
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Cf6ENRiovsJ1%2BkIX0YisHNLeMxpRW1IN>
to try to finalize TPP negotiations. He???ll attend multiply economic
meetings in China, Myanmar and Australia with trade negotiators, CEOs, and
heads of state on a trip described as part of ???our rebalancing strategy in
Asia???to ensure that we are fostering an open, transparent security and
economic order amid what is an increasing and already high demand for U.S.
leadership in the region.???

This trip comes as the ???Lame Duck??? session of Congress gets underway.
Let???s
be sure that Fast Track does not get quietly sneaked through the House of
Representatives during the session.

*Here???s what you can do:*
*First: *Follow the lead of Madison and Dane County, WI and Berkeley, CA
and present a ???TPP-Free Zone???
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=6FbyX2Mj84qtYCH2prqmntLeMxpRW1IN>
Resolution to your City Council or place as a Warrant Article on your 2015
Town Meeting Agenda.

It???s time to say to the U.S. Trade Representative and the almost 600
corporate representatives that are sitting at the table in secret
negotiations that will affect every aspect of our lives:


*???If you, our unelected representatives, create this corporate-driven
monstrosity and then go to Congress for a rubber stamp, WE WILL NOT OBEY.???
We don???t want these climate-busting trade agreements!*

It???s time to make our municipalities ???TPP-Free Zones,??? following in the
footsteps of the successful resistance to an earlier trade agreement, the
Multilateral Agreement on Investment, which was defeated in 1998 thanks to
a global grassroots campaign.

Read and use the Berkeley, CA ???Resolution to Protect Democracy and the
Public Interest from TAFTA & TPP Trade Agreements???
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=YoHlEKvaqDJLAq0j5EsBvxKphlKplEiv>
as a model. Here???s a ???TPP/TAFTA Fact Sheet??? on local impacts.

*Second: *Call Your Congressmember.
1. Tell your Representative: Don???t betray democracy! No ???Fast Track???
for
the TPP. Click here
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ow6lSkYnsOZUvqMxWWnhlxKphlKplEiv>
or here
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=T4fOFoS8%2BcW4ecK4HchwYxKphlKplEiv>
to find your Representative???s phone number.

2. Write a Letter to the Editor calling on Congress to oppose Fast Track
Authority for the President to ram the TPP through Congress. Here???s a
good fact
sheet
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=%2FlwdTMEa%2F3NsKD3v4xP689LeMxpRW1IN>
on the issues. Our Stop the TPP
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=HAly8JeG0Tt4R%2BRj6mEUh9LeMxpRW1IN>
page has other resources you can use.

3. Organize or attend a Fast Track event
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=G6lTo46j0P1iH%2BUaDPS%2BBtLeMxpRW1IN>
in your community.

*Why oppose Fast Track?*  Fast Track shuts down the democratic process and
cedes Congressional constitutional authority to oversee trade with foreign
nations to the President to negotiate and finalize so-called ???free??? trade
agreements like the TPP and submit the final agreement to Congress. For
more than four years Pres. Obama has been negotiating the TPP, but now
needs either Fast Track, or Sen. Ron Wyden???s (D-OR) new ???Smart Fast
Track,???
to ram this undemocratic corporate agenda through Congress. Under Fast
Track, Congress has only 90 days to read an immensely complex text, several
thousands pages long. Fast Track allows only limited debate and no formal
Congressional hearing process or amendments. Congress is permitted nly a
???yes??? or ???no??? vote.

The TPP is the first trade agreement negotiated in complete secrecy. As
many as 600 corporate representatives from Wall Street, big Ag, big pharma,
dirty energy, the military, the chemical industry, etc., have been at the
table. Only recently have certain members of Congress been allowed to read
texts in a ???secure??? room, but they are barred from taking notes or
discussing the content publicly. We only know the content of a few
???draft???
chapters because the texts have been leaked.

Why oppose the TPP?  Read our latest fact sheet
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=4FiqB1XZEVsdXsRrt9Qtj9LeMxpRW1IN>.
The corporate agenda wins in every case. For example, the TPP...

??? *cancels ???Buy American??? and ???Buy Local??? policies* that support
our
national and local economies. This off-shores more jobs and manufacturing
with climate-impacts from ocean transport.

??? *features dangerous new provisions*. A ???docking provision??? allows
other
countries to join the TPP after the original 12 negotiating nations ratify
it. There is also a new ???Harmonization Chapter??? that mandates setting up
new national bureaucracies to review laws and regulations to ensure they
???harmonize??? with all TPP provisions. This ensures that national laws that
now protect public health, labor, the environment, food safely, etc., will
be driven down to the lowest common denominator.

??? *accelerates **trading nature for profit*
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=df6UytFNoebQXtPvg6UVMPth0taR%2FKi0>
with devastating impacts on the environment and climate
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Ff5XDRXqRDFCOQgC2ZxHSdLeMxpRW1IN>
because of increased U.S. export of dirty fuels???especially natural gas from
fracking??? and expansion of land grabs for biofuels and GMO crops in
developing countries that have poor environmental regulations.

??? *gives sweet deals to big pharma*
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=yHOmvaRfNcTf3IypxqaEzRKphlKplEiv>
to protect their patents and profits on medicines while low-cost generics
on which we all depend to reduce healthcare costs are limited.

*Act Now.*
* Introduce a TPP Free Zone Resolution in your community! Act Now. Call
your Representative, write a Letter to the Editor and see if there is a
local action you can join.*

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

Reposted on the anniversary of the assassination of Rev. King. MB
This will be a very short diary. It will not contain any links or any scholarly references. It is about a very narrow topic, from a very personal, subjective perspective.

The topic at hand is what Martin Luther King actually did, what it was that he actually accomplished.  

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

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


I remember that many years ago, when I was a smartass home from first year of college, I was standing in the kitchen arguing with my father. My head was full of newly discovered political ideologies and black nationalism, and I had just read the Autobiography of Malcolm X, probably for the second time.  

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So what did they do?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Once the beating was over, we were free.

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

There is little doubt that if Martin Luther King Jr. was alive today--and he would be 85 years old--he would be at the forefront of decrying the class warfare that has reached levels that even he could not have imagined during his short lifetime. He once said that what we "are saying that something is wrong ... with capitalism.... There must be better distribution of wealth and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism. Call it what you may, call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all of God's children."

And he would have woken up to this startling fact: the richest 1% of people throughout the globe control 48% of the planet's wealth, leaving the other 52% for the other 99% of humanity.


Or put another way: 80 people worth had a total net worth of 1.9 trillion dollar, which is equal to the wealth of 3.5 billion people at the bottom 50 percent of the world's population.

Oxfam lays out these facts in a report today. Oxfam uses data compiled by Credit Suisse in updated reports from the one I wrote about in 2011.

If this trend continues:

...the top 1% will have more wealth than the remaining 99% of people in just two years,...
with the wealth share of the top 1% exceeding 50% by 2016.
The most interesting this in the report, from my point of view, was an analysis of the extreme wealth made by a few people profiting from drugs and healthcare--profits that were enhanced by the Affordable Care Act, which handed to the insurance and drug industries tens of billions of dollars in new profits:
Between 2013 and 2014 billionaires listed as having interests and activities in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors saw the biggest increase in their collective wealth. Twenty-nine individuals joined the ranks of the billionaires between March 2013 and March 2014 (five dropped off the list), increasing the total number from 66 billionaires to 90, in 2014 making up 5% of the total billionaires on the list. The collective wealth of billionaires with interests in this sector increased from $170bn to $250bn, a 47% increase and the largest percentage increase in wealth of the different sectors on the Forbes list.
There is little doubt in my mind that if King were alive during the recent healthcare debate he would have lent his voice to the movement to enact "Medicare for All", understanding that anything short of a single-payer system would simply enrich a few people and force more people to pay immoral prices for the right to health care.

      Call Congress: Republicans are trying to kill the Internet

   Republicans in Congress are launching a desperate, last-ditch effort to
   stop the FCC from voting on Net Neutrality rules. Two key committees just
   held hearings in an effort to gin up support for the legislation, and a
   vote on the bill could come soon ?????please call committee members and
   tell them to let the FCC do its job and oppose the Republicans' bill.

   Dear Agnes,

   We're winning the fight to protect the open Internet.

   But, with the FCC just weeks away from voting on Net Neutrality rules,
   Republicans in Congress are making a desperate, last-ditch effort to stop
   the vote by proposing watered-down legislation that would strip the FCC of
   much of its authority to regulate the Internet.^1

   The House and Senate just held hearings to push this dangerous, backdoor
   attack on Net Neutrality, and a vote on the legislation could come soon.
   We have to go all out to stop it.

   Our friends at Battle for the Net built a call tool that will connect you
   with members of the key committees in the House and Senate so that you can
   urge them not to meddle with the FCC.

   [2]Call key members of Congress: Don't support Republican legislation to
   block real Net Neutrality. Click here to make a call.

   This cynical attempt to derail the FCC is being led by Republican Senator
   John Thune and Representative Fred Upton, the new leaders of the key
   congressional committees that oversee the Internet.

   Thune and Upton are pitching their legislation as a reasonable
   "compromise," but they are the same people who are on the record calling
   Net Neutrality rules ???unjustified??? and a ???solution in search of a
   problem."^2

   Unless they've both had dramatic changes of heart it's quite clear that
   the legislation is a stealth effort to force the FCC to delay its vote and
   stop open Internet advocates like us from scoring an all-out win when the
   FCC votes on new rules in February ?????not a sincere effort to protect
   the web.

   There's simply no reason to stake the future of the Internet on a messy
   legislative fight in a Congress dominated by Republicans, where telecom
   companies have enormous power to influence the content of a final bill,
   when the FCC already has all the authority it needs to guarantee Net
   Neutrality.

   We've come too far in this fight to be stopped by members of Congress
   cutting a terrible, 11th hour deal. Please call the committee members
   right now and tell them to let the FCC do its job.

   Thank you for fighting for Net Neutrality.

      Tell Senate Democrats: Don???t let the Republicans gut Wall Street
reform.

   Petition to Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer:
   "Fight back against any attempts by the Republicans to gut the 2010
   Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform bill, especially any further delay or
   weakening of the Volcker rule, which would put America at greater risk of
   another financial meltdown and bank bailout."

   Dear Agnes,

                                                   [2]Tell Senate Democrats:
                                                   Don???t let the
                                                   Republicans gut Wall
                                                   Street reform

   Recently, House Republicans forced through a bill that would blast holes
   in Wall Street reform and put us all at greater risk of another financial
   crash ??? and more bank bailouts.

   Now, the bill goes to the Senate, where the new, anti-regulation Banking
   Committee Chairman Richard Shelby is determined to gut the 2010 Dodd-Frank
   financial reform law.^1

   We need Senate Democrats to maintain a fierce firewall against any changes
   to Dodd-Frank, whether in this bill or future efforts. If Wall Street
   succeeds in rolling back the reforms put in place after the 2008 financial
   crash, we will all pay the catastrophic price.

   [3]Tell Sens. Feinstein and Boxer: Don???t let the Republicans gut
   Wall Street reform. Click here to sign the petition.

   The same Wall Street banks that crashed the economy fought to weaken the
   2010 Dodd-Frank bill before it ever became law. Then, once President Obama
   signed it, they went to work twisting the arms of regulators to carve out
   even more loopholes. In December, banks received a huge holiday gift when
   the Federal Reserve announced it would delay until 2017 the implementation
   of one of the most important pieces of the law, the Volcker rule against
   banks gambling for their own profit.

   If they can???t repeal it outright, Wall Street???s allies in Congress
   will fight to carve out new loopholes in Dodd-Frank. In December, Congress
   repealed a provision on risky derivatives as part of a terrible spending
   bill that's chock full of handouts to big banks and mega-wealthy political
   donors. The most recent House bill would have exempted other derivatives
   from regulation, and rolled back rules forcing companies to be more
   transparent and accountable. In the past, Republicans have even proposed
   making it easier for banks to sue regulators to undo reforms.

   The biggest fight will be over the Volcker rule, which prevents
   government-insured banks from making big bets for their own profit knowing
   that taxpayers will bail them out if it backfires. ^2

   In the last two election cycles, financial sector donations have
   overwhelmingly favored Republicans, and now those right-wing candidates
   are returning the favor. At the same time, as a recent piece in the New
   York Times put it, ???Plenty of moderate Democrats are lily-livered about
   taking on the banks.???^3 Even though President Obama declared in the
   State of the Union that he would veto attempts to roll back Dodd-Frank,
   the real test will come when Republicans and pro-Wall Street Democrats add
   these sort of provisions to a must-pass bill like the debt-ceiling
   increase.

   [4]Tell Sens. Feinstein and Boxer: Don???t let the Republicans gut
   Wall Street reform. Click here to sign the petition.

   Republicans like to claim that Dodd-Frank is hampering economic growth.
   But stocks are soaring and banks are raking in billions, even as middle
   class families are still suffering. Last week, JPMorgan Chase head Jamie
   Dimon had the gall to complain that big banks are ???under assault,???
   although not a single banker has gone to jail for fraud and his company
   reported $4.93 billion in 2014 income.^4

   The too-big-to-fail banks are bigger than ever, and their profits are
   leaching out of the economy, not trickling down. Congress should be
   building on Dodd-Frank ??? not ripping it to shreds. Click below to sign

A few of the hundreds of nurses marching through New York last year,
demanding a Robin Hood Tax to fight inequality.
In a week when the planet's richest people meet at the World Economic
Forum in Davos, Oxfam has found that by 2016, the top 1% will be richer
than the rest of the world combined!

But what are we going to do about it?

In response to such staggering levels of inequality, politicians in the US
are taking the initiative. After years of sustained pressure from our
sister campaign, we're delighted to say that senior Democrats are calling
for a strong Robin Hood Tax!

Will the UK follow suit?

Hi everyone,

I have been emailed with a request to demand a larger venue for the
Planning Commission's Jan 28 meeting about the Hare Creek Mall project
and Marie Jone's proposal for a negative mitagation declaration. The
email I receive said that the room in the Diederich center will only
hold 72 people including the Planning Commission and the media.

If you think there are more than 72 people who will want to attend,
please call Marie Jones,Community Development Director, Ph:
707-961-2827 ext. 108 and tell her that we need a new venue.

I just called and left a message for her.

Subject: I just signed this urgent petition to reform the grand jury
system -- will you? The killings of Michael Brown, Eric Garner and
countless other black men and boys and the subsequent failure of grand
juries to prosecute the police officers responsible presents
incontrovertible evidence that our current system just isn't equipped to
handle these sorts of cases. I just took action to urge Congress to pass
the Grand Jury Reform Act, which would require a special prosecutor to
conduct a public probable cause hearing when reasonable grounds exist to
believe that criminal charges should be considered in a police-involved
killing. I think you should too:

**Thank you for signing up for the March for Real Climate Leadership on
February 7th in Oakland!**

In the face of the drought, it's time to make it clear that it's unacceptable
for Governor Brown to let oil and gas companies continue wasting our limited
fresh water for their own profit by expanding fracking.

To make sure our voice is as loud as possible, we need everyone -- so invite
your friends, family, colleagues, and whoever else to come with you in
February.

Sample e-mail to your friends:

We???re experiencing the worst drought in California history. And instead of
leading on climate like California is supposed to, Governor Jerry brown is
letting oil and gas companies continue wasting our limited fresh water for
their own profit by expanding fracking, and shipping in tar sands and oil
from
the Bakken shale.

Join me in Oakland on February 7th to tell Governor Jerry Brown we need real
climate leadership -- and we need it now.

This is an awesome idea! I would like to suggest getting some locally produced food items and putting some dishes together. I would be glad to help find, purchase, prepare and deliver the food, and anything else that needs to be done.

Message-ID: <9616923D-13FB-4948-BA7A-CA20D5BFF22E@mcn.org>

Peace Party  

Peace and Justice Center and OM could have an annual Peace Party.  Food, music, presentations, guest speakers, films,etc,
We might have the first one in honor or name of Howard Ennes and do a tree planting at the Senior Center (already approved
by the SC). We could also give out Public Service recognition awards.  Could benefit Senior Center or OM and PJC. (Be neat to
have it be free, like MLK! )

Peace, 
Richard


We could align with:
World Peace Day
November 17, 2014 in the World

 
World Peace Day is celebrated on November 17, 2014. Peace is a sign of harmony characterized by the lack of violence, conflict behaviors and the freedom from fear of violence.

We have placed a detailed description of this event on this page: World Peace Day 2015. For further information please stop by there!

I just wanted to make sure that all who are involved in this direct 
action remember to include
language that clearly shows the assertion of our constitutional rights 
as validation of our position.
The information below comes from the Community Rights Network of 
Mendocino County (CRNMC)
website: http://crnmc.org/faq. If you have print capability, I would 
suggest printing the entire FAQ
page.

I thank all of you for your dedication to fighting the forces that are 
quite literally threatening
the survival of all life on the planet.

*Q: State regulatory agencies are the proper venue for protecting the 
local environment, right?*
A: Regulations set the legal level of harm; they do not create 
impediments to harm. ?Permits?
issued by the state are licenses to do harm, and they are legal shields 
that protect the permit
holder from liability to the harmed community. The regulations that 
legalize the harms are too
often proposed and written into bills by agents of the regulated 
industries. It is absurd to pretend
that the regulatory scheme of law can be used by citizens to protect 
their rights and interests. To
demand enforcement of the regulations is to admit that the people have 
no right to prohibit the
harm to themselves, their families and communities. It is to admit that 
the corporate interests
lobbying the legislature are the actual governing power in their 
communities. It is to pretend that
administrative agencies of the State have legitimate authority to 
empower State-?chartered
corporations to violate the rights of community members. They have no 
such authority.

Today, Tuesday, January 27
Block the TPP: Join the collective National Call-In Day of Action

We must keep up the actions and mobilization. We can win this together if
we stay focused and committed!

Every day the coalition of groups opposing Fast Track and the TPP grows
bigger, representing a vast array of people, groups, and specific issues.

Yesterday, activists held a noontime rally outside the Sheraton New York
Times Square Hotel, braving cold and blizzard warnings. They called the
TPP a "Death Pact," emphasizing its impact on access to affordable
life-saving medicine and healthcare [
http://www.commondreams.org/news/2015/01/26/calling-tpp-death-pact-health-advocates-rally-outside-secretive-trade-talks
].

It was only recently announced that this would be the last round of
secretive talks before trade ministers and heads of state takeover to
finesse the final details. Bravo to the organizers and participants who
rallied so quickly!

And only a few days ago, we learned that Michael Froman, the President's
Trade Representative leading these secretive talks, will testify today
before the Senate Finance Committee [
http://www.finance.senate.gov/about/membership/ ] and the House Committee
on Ways and Means.

So, today, please take these three quick actions:

First, call Sen. Orrin Hatch [ http://www.hatch.senate.gov/public/ ] and
Sen. Ron Wyden [ http://www.wyden.senate.gov ] to say we do not need a new
and better Fast Track-or any Fast Track.

Second, check this list of Senate Finance Committee members [
http://www.finance.senate.gov/about/membership/ ]. If your Senator is on
the committee tell him/her that you don't want Congress to give away their
constitutional duty to oversee trade with foreign nations. Congress should
refuse to grant Fast Track to ensure the TPP represents the view of the
people, not the interests of the president and the corporations who
secretly negotiated it. Remember, under Fast Track there is only 20 hours
of debate, no committee hearings and no amendments.

Finally, call your Congressional Representative with the same message.
Find his/her D.C. office number here [
http://www.house.gov/representatives/ ] and send an email here [
https://act.eff.org/action/don-t-let-congress-fast-track-tpp ].

Thanks so much for taking the time to make calls and send an email.

>From Feb. 13 ??? 21, there will be days of action as well, when Congress
takes a Presidents' Day recess. Stay tuned for more information on
national and local actions.

Onward toward victory!

Nancy Price, Co-chair

It's so big and has the potential to do so much damage, it's been likened to "NAFTA on steroids."3

What Ed is reporting is not true.
A group of us spoke to Sage Stratham, a  Planning Commissioner, outside
the meeting and he said the application was not approved, but the owners
of the property could take it up with the F.B. City Council and if the
City council denied the applicants they could appeal a no vote to the 
Coastal Commission. The first vote that night was on whether there should
be an EIR study. Sage voted against the Project which swung the vote. It
was 2 to 2 but since Stan of Downhome foods recused himself due to
financial concerns to his business. His recusing himself could be viewed
as a no vote. So no need to raise money. It's up to the Applicants to file
an appeal and pay the fee.

Agnes,

You didn't read my email very carefully. What I said is true. There were two decisions made. The first was to approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration. That was approved. That means no Environmental Impact Report will be necessary. What Sage and one other commissioner voted against was the design of the project. Since the vote on this issue was 2-2 for and against, the project design was disapproved If the developers appeal the no decision on their design to the City Council and the City Council rules in the developers' favor, they will not have to do an EIR. So we DO need to appeal the Mitigated Negative Declaration NOW.

Ed

Please people get yr facts straight before posting. All the different 
opions are hurting the cause. We are trying to raise money quickly in 
order to appeal the decision on the approval of the NEGATIVE  
DECLARATION which must be done within 10 days of the Planning Commission 
vote.
Thanks

Ed, If the turnout to the City council meeting is anything like the public
hearing at Dederick hall the City Council may say No. And in that case the
Project Petitioners may appeal to the Coastal Commission, which will cost
them $900.00. The overwhelming sentiment was against the Grocery Store
outlet and their non-union shop and minimum wage jobs.

Agnes, *please sign the petition to California Gov. Jerry Brown: Ban
fracking in California.* [
http://signforgood.com/endfrackinginca/?code=kos ]

New York's governor took an historic step last month by outlawing
fracking, but California-a deep-blue state-has yet to take action.

California and New York combined have nearly one-fifth the nation's
population, so if Jerry Brown will take action it will be a real
game-changer in our fight against fracking.

Daily Kos is working with a wide coalition of partners to pressure Gov.
Jerry Brown. At the March for Real Climate Leadership on February 7th in
Oakland, we will deliver this petition at his door.

*Whether or not you live in California, please sign the petition to demand
that Gov. Jerry Brown ban fracking.* [
http://signforgood.com/endfrackinginca/?code=kos ] This is a fight that
impacts us all.

Keep fighting,
Paul Hogarth, Daily Kos

Agnes,

The overwhelming sentiment of the people at the Planning Commission meeting was against the Mitigated Negative Declaration. However the Commissioners voted in favor of that. What that means is that no Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will need to be submitted by the developers. What costs not $900 dollars but $1000 is appealing to the Fort Bragg City Council. If for some reason the Fort Bragg City Council overturned the Planning Commission's denial of the permits for the Hare Creek project, the developers would be free to  go ahead with submitting an EIR unless we have submitted an appeal of the Commissioners approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration. And we need to raise the $1000 to appeal that decision. Appealing to the Coastal Commission doesn't cost $1000.

> If you go to http://city.fortbragg.com/486/Active-Permit-Applications, you will see what the Fort Bragg Development Department has said about this process. What it says is:


"A public hearing before the Fort Bragg Planning Commission to consider adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and approval of Coastal Development Permit, Design Review, Use Permit and Lot Line Adjustment was held on Wednesday, January 28, 2015 at the John Diederich Center, 208 Dana Street, Fort Bragg. 

	"On January 28, 2015, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution to adopt (approve) the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed Hare Creek Center in a 3 (in favor) to 1 (opposed) vote. The Planning Commission did not adopt a resolution to approve the permits for the project in a 2 (opposed) to 2 (in favor) vote. Due to the tied vote, the resolution did not pass, and therefore the Planning Commission denied the development permits for the Hare Creek Center."

" Either or both of these decisions may be appealed to the City Council. Anyone may appeal the decision to approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration or the decision not to approve the development permits to City Council within ten calendar days of the decision by the Planning Commission. To appeal either or both decisions, a person must submit an appeal form with the appeal fee of $1,000 to the City Clerk by 5:00 PM Monday, February 9, 2015."

Mississipi doctor treats poor people out of his car, state trying to put him out of business
byJen HaydenFollow

Dr. Carrol Frazier Landrum standing next his car, waiting to treat residents of Edwards, Mississippi
Dr. Carrol Frazier Landrum is an 88-year-old doctor who's been practicing for 55 years in Mississippi. He's known in the Edwards, Mississippi community for treating anyone who needs help, going so far as to drive to patient's houses, meeting them anywhere they are able, and for the last two years he's been treating some patients out of his car. He believes it is his duty:
?I?ve always had a heart for the poor,? Landrum told The Washington Post this week, struggling to hold back tears. ?I grew up poor, and when the doctor would come to us, and he was happy to see us, I pictured myself doing that some day. I try not to ever turn people away ? money or no money ? because that?s where the need is.?
Ever since the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure found out he was treating people out of his car, Dr. Landrum has been under investigation:
At a recent hearing, Landrum said, he was labeled ?incompetent? by the board. He said the charge is a catchall, one designed to avoid citing a specific occupational violation, and he maintains he?s done nothing wrong. He said he doesn?t recruit patients and only responds to those who have nowhere else to turn.
Despite the pressure to surrender his license, he's not going down without a fight:
"I'm not the kind of person to give up very easily, especially if I know I'm right," Landrum said. "I want to continue helping these people who need me, and I plan to fight this. I'm going to tell them I don't intend to resign."
For what it's worth, Mississippi has the largest percentage of poor and uninsured people in the country. The average income in Edwards, Mississippi is jaw-dropping:
The 2010 census showed that the income per person in Edwards is just $12,308 a year.
The most he charges his patients is $45 a visit. If his patients cannot afford the fee, he will often waive it completely or tell them to pay him later.

The community stands behind Dr. Landrum:
"He's saved a lot of people, you know what I'm saying," says Cornelius Moriley.
Karen Holt says, "I love that he's here. He may not cure cancer, but he's cured a lot of people of basic things."

   Dear friends,

   We are standing in a window of opportunity -- a once-in-a-generation
   opportunity to totally overhaul our energy system.

   The climate movement is on the rise, people power is beating back extreme
   energy from New York to Scotland, and renewable energy is cheaper than
   ever before. At the same time, tumbling oil prices -- which conventional
   wisdom says is bad news for the climate -- mean that the vast profits that
   underpin the fossil fuel industry's power are on unusually shaky ground.

   Suddenly fossil fuels are on the defensive. Suddenly tar sands and
   fracking don't look like such hot investments anymore. Respectable,
   prudent fund managers are seriously considering taking their money out of
   fossil fuels, and many of them have already done so.

   Will you help us seize the moment? In less than two weeks, fossil fuel
   divestment supporters from around the world will come together with a
   single message: Fossil fuels are history, and renewable energy is our
   future.

    [1]Global Divestment Day is February 13th, and it's not too late to host
                            your own simple action.

   All you need to lead a photo action is a camera, some home-made signs, and
   a group of friends and neighbors. [2]Click here for more creative ideas on
   how you can add your voice to the call for a fossil free future.

   [3]Click here to add a Global Divestment Day event to the map.

   If enough of us take action on Global Divestment Day, we can shift public
   opinion and open up the political space to radically transform both our
   energy systems and our climate policies. Whether you're reading this on an
   island in the Pacific, a small town in Canada, or in London, together we
   can send a powerful and united global message.

   I know this because every single week this January I've seen divestment
   campaign victories spread this message across the world: the first Swedish
   University to divest, an Australian city council, the United Methodist
   Church, and New York's New School to name just a few. Earlier this month,
   victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines even organized actions urging
   the Pope to divest the Vatican from fossil fuels.

   Windows like this can and do pass. Let's not let this one pass us by.

   [4]I hope you'll join me on Global Divestment Day. Click here to create an
   event.

   Onward,
