	for Congress
Message-ID: <0EB30B1C-3533-4885-A268-C8B33761DF4A@att.net>

> WASHINGTON ? Americans took to the streets in large numbers on Thursday to show their support for a fifteen-dollar-an-hour wage for members of Congress.
> 
> In major cities across the nation, fast-food workers and other service employees held signs, shouted chants, and gave impassioned speeches to demonstrate their conviction that Congress deserves a maximum hourly wage of fifteen dollars.
> 
> ?Members of Congress are people, just like you and me,? Tracy Klugian, a McDonald?s employee who took part in the Washington protest, said. ?They should be paid what they deserve.?
> 
> Assuming that they continue to take off approximately two hundred and forty days a year, members of Congress earning the proposed maximum would see their average annual income adjusted from a hundred and seventy-four thousand dollars to thirteen thousand five hundred dollars, a salary that many marchers called ?fair and equitable.?
> 
> ?I know what members of Congress will say: ?I can?t live on that,?? Harland Dorrinson, a protester in Chicago, said. ?Well, if they want to earn more, they should go out and acquire some skills.?
> 
> While organizers of the marches proclaimed today?s protests a success, in some cities the demonstrations met some opposition from counter-protesters, who argued that fifteen dollars was too much.

Stop the Navy from using more sonar on marine mammals in Pacific Northwest

WE THE PEOPLE OF the Pacific Northwest Coast of the United States request that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) deny the request from the U.S. Navy for a permit to expand its training, increase the use of high level sonar technology, more explosions and more chemical releases along the Pacific northwest coast in the Gray Whales' migration path between the Arctic Circle and Baja Sur California. The Gray Whales would have to pass through a deadly training area ten times in five years. The Navy has asked in its permit application to be allowed to "take" (harass, injure, modify behavior or kill) millions of marine mammals.

Sonar technology is known to disrupt whales' and other marine mammals' feeding, hearing and well being. When whales cannot hear, they cannot locate their food sources and they starve. A number of whale stranding have happened near Navy sonar exercises. 

We ask NOAA to request the Navy to move it's training and sonar testing areas away from the migratory path of the Gray Whales and habitats of the other marine mammals that are essential to the tourist industries of Western U.S. coastal states, counties and cities.

Message-ID: <BY2PR07MB967725E8EBAB6BE026ED982DD910@BY2PR07MB967.namprd07.prod.outlook.com>

Present:  Sheila Dawn, Irene Malone, Ann, Will B., Jinx Bridges, John Fremont, Dan Baker, Agnes Woolsey, and guests Durand Evan and Michael Hodges.

- May Day event - International Workers Day- we want Unions and Labor groups, Voter Registration, kid's games, a march with protest signs, spring celebration.  Sheila will speak to the City about permits, park benches, our March.  Ann will speak to SEIU Union, call the local Teachers Union rep. and look into possible conflicts with other events.  The Cinco de Mayo event will be May 7th, which is Mothers Day.  No other conflicts found yet.  There will be a planning meeting Sat May 9 at 12 noon here in the Sr. Center room.  Nurses in Ft Bragg may have a Union... Agnes will contact the Newspapers and Sheila will announce on KZYX.

- In two weeks Amy Goodman is speaking in Ukiah.

- Homeless issues - Durand is concerned about how the homeless are sabotaged and "trapped" into the system by the local "helping professionals" and police.  Tow companies and police are in cahoots to overcharge and put liens on vehicles so that the people who are in trouble owe so much money that the companies end up seizing the vehicles and still charging fines.  They are ripping off our community and also doing asset forfeitures.  Anyone who speaks up will be removed from the shelters for life and be taken off the list for Section 8 housing.

- John Fremont is working on a Police Advisory Board that will start in September to address injustice issues.  Some folks will go to the Monday Apr 11 meeting of the City Council to speak up about several issues.

- Charter Project Update - Agnes is working on Town Halls so folks become informed about the Charter.  There will be a slide show, Q&A and fundraising, and then afterward the speaker, Paul Cienfuegos of Community Rights fame will speak.  There will be raffle tickets with prizes given after the "meat" of the program, and Ann will help with refreshments (coffee, tea, snacks). Robin Sunbeam sent PSAs that can be printed online or will be available at the May Day event, along with yard signs.

- Street Protest - The "honk meter" counted 56 honks at Wells Fargo and 60 honks at Chase.  It generates enthusiasm to have a count of the honks.

- There should be a "Bill of Rights for the Homeless" to impress that they deserve respect, and Sheila says she has something she will bring to share at the next meeting.

Next meeting for planning net Sat 4/9.

John,

Greedy liars on Wall Street have used income inequality to build wealth and power for decades. They have used this wealth and power to attempt to dismantle our Social Security system, Medicare, Medicaid, and any regulations that stand between them and consolidating more power.

Today, I am joining thousands of activists around the country in a positive, peaceful demonstration aimed at getting money out of politics and restoring voting rights.

 <http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ZnhC3j5%2B3Vp6y9IDjS9IpErP15Sm4zYT> Add your voice to the thousands in DC! We demand that Congress support:

*	The Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would restore and increase protections against voting discrimination.
*	The Voter Empowerment Act, which would modernize voter registration and ensure equal access to voting for all.
*	The Democracy For All Amendment, which would overturn U.S. Supreme Court decisions like Citizens United and limit the undue influence of money in politics.
*	The Government By the People Act/Fair Elections Now Act, which would amplify small contributions from everyday Americans.

The influence of money in politics is the reason that we keep having to fight to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, no matter how popular and effective they are.

Whether Congress acts or not we will win by focusing the nation?s attention on the urgency of this crisis, the existence of solutions, and the strength of the popular demand to enact them.

 <http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=%2B8W34FyK7LT7SR5xF%2BNSBkrP15Sm4zYT> Even if you can?t join us in Washington DC, you can still show your support by signing this petition today.

Please, help us stand together so we can bring change to Washington.

Thank you,

Alex Lawson

Ellen A,

This morning, working people at Verizon went on strike. It?s never good
when working families have to take this step, but Verizon workers felt they
had no choice.

They?re fighting to create a better workplace for themselves and those who
come after them. They aren?t going to give up until Verizon ends its push
to send jobs overseas, stops intimidating Verizon Wireless workers trying
to create a better future for themselves and their families, and drops its
demands to cut retirement benefits, gut job security and make workers move
away from their homes and families for months at a time just to keep their
jobs.

*Click here to immediately sign and share our petition to tell Verizon CEO
Lowell McAdam, "Enough is enough. Settle a fair contract with working
people at Verizon and Verizon Wireless now."
<http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/4wA/ni0YAA/t. >
*

These demands from Verizon executives are absurd. Verizon workers helped
the company make $39 billion in profits over the last three years?and $1.8
billion a month in profits over the first three months of 2016. But that?s
not enough for Verizon.

The company?s greed knows no bounds. While the company continues to demand
working people give back more and more, Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam made $18
million last year. That?s more than 200 times the compensation of the
average Verizon employee!

It?s time for Verizon to acknowledge that working families also have a
right to do well in America. It?s time for a contract that?s fair to
Verizon?s working people and the customers they serve.

*Click here to immediately sign and share our petition telling Verizon CEO
Lowell McAdam you?ve got the back of striking workers and want him to
settle a fair contract now.
<http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/4wA/ni0YAA/t. >
*

In Solidarity,

Christian

Message-ID: <CAFGqSt7wVT31L5SoC2uE0FQ0vE_eYUxbDLdgj+NWjKDijgbjEw@mail.gmail.com>

Urge Congress to endorse engagement with the UN for a diplomatic resolution
of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Take Action
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=8b6pRWFlkHW09ltsJRRN7FcGy7ZVZmga>
Americans for Peace Now - the US affiliate of the mainstream Israeli peace
movement Shalom Achshav (Peace Now) - is calling
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=4mfKOJdrROkUP9p2ItYDIlcGy7ZVZmga>
on President Obama to support action in the United Nations Security Council
to help bring about a diplomatic resolution of the Israel-Palestine
conflict. *This is common sense*: when the big powers want to resolve
conflicts diplomatically, *the UN Security Council is where they go to do
it*. That's how we got a diplomatic agreement on Iran's nuclear program;
that's how we got a diplomatic agreement for a ceasefire in Syria.

Unfortunately, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC] is
lobbying Congress in the opposite direction, urging its activists to
"encourage your senators and representative to oppose efforts to bring the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the U.N. and other international bodies."
AIPAC doesn't want the UN Security Council to take any action, *because
AIPAC doesn't want the Israel-Palestine conflict to be resolved
diplomatically*. AIPAC wants to maintain the cruel and unjust status quo,
which is guaranteed to produce more violence and unnecessary suffering for
Israelis and Palestinians.

*Urge Congress to stand with Peace Now in favor of a diplomatic resolution
of the Israel-Palestine conflict by signing our petition at MoveOn.

I love the title, as if "Obama" were a king and it was all his fault. What
nonsense. Actually this is such good news for tax payers. Maybe with "King
Obama" doing all these forfeitures, our taxes will go down!! YAY. Go King
Go.

Subject: [MCN-Discussion]- Measure W
To: discussion at lists.mcn.org


WHY NOT VOTE YES on W?


Let the Charter Commission meet with the Mendocino Public, listen to their
goals for their lives in Mendocino County,
and put the proposed Charter before the voters, all at no expense to the
County.
All we have to do is vote for 15 Charter Commissioners on June 7.

Why not allow the people express their opinions of how we can change
Mendocino County for the better?
Are those who oppose W also opposed to the First Amendment?  Are they
opposed to Free Speech?

We listen to our President give the State of the Union message, and the
Governor the State of the State,
but what do we hear from our County Supervisors?

Maybe it?s time WE THE PEOPLE started speaking up for OUR future!

A Charter, like a Constitution, describes a future. Rather than continuing
of the status quo of a General Law county,
a Charter sets the direction for future goals and policies for the Board of
Supervisors and other elected officials.

The Charter Commission, with public participation, can propose future
objectives of governance,
public finance, environmental sustainability, social service levels,
housing and
economic development customized to the needs of Mendocino County.

What WE the PEOPLE want is a government of the people, by the people, for
the people".
Not a government of the establishment, by the corporations, and for the
powerful.
Our elected supervisors will implement the government (Charter) that WE
vote for.

WHY would anyone be opposed to Measure W at this time?
Only those who are pleased with the status quo and currently have the power
to influence
policy outcome would be opposed to a county constitution that works for
everyone.

IF you support the First Amendment you support free speech.  Let it happen
here.

Vote YES on W.

(By Norman and Els)
