Alert!!  NOAA is another agency on Trump's hit list, and we have cause to worry as they are climate change deniers in charge of our Oceans.  The head guy Trump picked is from the Heartland Institute, a Koch Brothers think tank.

Another alarm for scientists: Trump's pick to guide NOAA transition


<http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article129716229.html>http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article129716229.html


President Donald Trump is taking aim at one of the federal government's main agencies for climate change research - the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration<http://www.noaa.gov/> - and NOAA employees are girding for drastic changes in how they conduct science and report it to the public.
Trump has appointed a leading denier of climate change, Kenneth Haapala of the Heartland Institute<https://www.heartland.org/>, to serve on the administration team handling appointments for the U.S. Department of Commerce, the federal agency that oversees NOAA. Haapala will be in a position to help choose top administrators at NOAA, an agency that conducts atmospheric research and, among other duties, also oversees the National Weather Service <http://www.weather.gov/> and the National Marine Fisheries Service<http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/>.
One NOAA employee said he and many of his colleagues are alarmed by Haapala's selection.
"NOAA doesn't get as much attention as EPA, but it is a pretty big target for people that want to shut down climate change science and findings they find objectionable," said the employee, who didn't want his name used for fear of retribution.
Haapala, who has a master of sciences in economics, is a policy expert at Heartland, a Chicago-based group that describes itself as promoting policy "based on individual liberty, limited government, and free markets." In 2012, the Economist described it as "the world's most prominent thinktank supporting skepticism about man-made climate change," a label that Heartland promotes on part of its web site<https://www.heartland.org/about-us/who-we-are/?type=policy-experts&q=Haapala#content>.
That same year, Heartland gained notoriety by buying billboards that showed images of Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, along with headlines such as, "I still believe in Global Warming. Do you?"
Critics accused the group of equating believers of prevailing climate change science with terrorists. Heartland responded with a press release <https://www.theguardian.com/environment/blog/2012/may/04/heartland-institute-global-warming-murder> that stated: "What these murderers and madmen have said differs very little from what spokespersons for the United Nations, journalists for the 'mainstream' media, and liberal politicians say about global warming."
Haapala also heads the Science and Environmental Policy Project<http://sepp.org/index.cfm>, which, among other things, hands out an "April Fool's Award" to the government official whom it judges had expanded government power through "flimsy"science. The group handed out the first such award in 2012, giving it to Lisa Jackson, who served as EPA administrator during the Obama administration.
An economic modeler, Haapala has little love for federal environmental agencies. In a 2015 videotaped speech<https://youtu.be/MYPD9rTBH60>, he accused 13 government entities of "selective ignorance" for a report they'd drafted on the potential health impacts of climate change.
Haapala's transition role in the Commerce Department has caught the attention of some Democrats in Congress. Last week, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, the senior Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, wrote a letter <http://democrats-naturalresources.house.gov/imo/media/doc/2017-01-24_RG_Whitehouse_NOAA.pdf> to Trump regarding Haapala's appointment.
"We urge you to remove Mr. Haapala and any others who share his discredited views on climate science from the DOC landing team," the two congressmen wrote. "He certainly does not understand or appreciate NOAA's mission and therefore is unfit to serve in any capacity that oversees operations or personnel decisions at the agency."
Neither the White House nor Haapala could be reached directly for comment Monday. But in a newsletter he continues to write, Haapala on Saturday<http://sepp.org/twtwfiles/2017/TWTW1-28-17.pdf> disputed the assertion by the two congressmen that he "has made a career out of denying the science behind climate change."
Writing about himself in the third person, Haapala went on to explain how, as a non-scientist, his views on climate change and other issues have evolved.
"A great influence on Haapala's willingness to question conventional thinking are the writings of Bertrand Russell, a British philosopher and mathematician," he wrote. "With no advanced degree in natural sciences, Russell wrote very clearly on many scientific issues of the day."
Calling itself the nation's "environmental intelligence agency," NOAA has a $5.8 billion annual budget, with roughly $190 million targeted toward climate change research. It operates several orbiting satellites to collect data on the atmosphere and earth sciences. Before Trump took office, it released a report declaring<http://www.noaa.gov/stories/2016-marks-three-consecutive-years-of-record-warmth-for-globe> 2016 to be the warmest year on record globally, following two other record years.
In recent weeks, federal employees at the National Parks Service, EPA and other agencies have claimed they are under "gag orders"<http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article128770909.html> - restricted from using social media or taking any action not approved by the new administration. As of Monday evening, the EPA hadn't tweeted a single item since Jan. 19, the day before Trump was sworn in as president.
At NOAA, however, social media managers continue to post information about climate change. This includes a Jan. 25 tweet directing people to the agency's fact sheet on climate change, which states that human activities are the major cause of the buildup of carbon in the atmosphere.
"The only new process on Earth that has been identified that can account for the significant tipping of Earth's carbon balance is humans burning ever increasing amounts of fossil fuels together with other large-scale activities like deforestation, biomass burning, and cement production," the fact sheet states.
Agency employees, as well as the union that represents the National Weather Service, said they've seen no administration directives yet on communications and social media.
NASA, another federal agency that conducts and promotes climate change science, has also continued to use its Twitter accounts <https://twitter.com/NASAClimate> as normal. NASA's "landing team" is headed by Chris Shank, another climate change skeptic <http://www.climatecentral.org/news/climate-denier-nasa-transition-20938> who previously worked for House Science Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas. In recent years, Smith has used his committee to go after climate change scientists and state attorneys general investigating whether ExxonMobil <http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/congress/article93481522.html> broke laws by hiding research findings on global warming.
Decisions about NOAA's new administrator and other top officials won't be made until the Senate makes a decision on Trump's choice for Commerce Secretary. Trump has nominated Wilbur Ross, a billionaire who previously invested in coal companies, for the job. During his confirmation hearing, Ross deflected questions <http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article127943504.html#storylink=cpy> about his views on global warming, saying only that "science is science and scientists should perform science."

        Dear Ann,






Take action today to demand truly inclusive and fair trade agreements.<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qZhWNRtsBf82zcAHryuxMlc1PIsc9S74>




[Over 2 Million farmers and workers in Mexico were impacted by NAFTA]<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=SXTKSLiy0k5VjKEsIIK0pFc1PIsc9S74>In the first days of Trump's administration, he officially withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the massive trade pact with eleven other countries that Congress had already declined to sign into law, and promised to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

But the future of trade, and its fairness, under Trump is far from clear. A strong and truly fair trade agreement will meet multiple needs and priorities including:

[*]
        All stakeholders should be at the table. This include low-wage and middle class workers, but also small-scale, sustainable farmers, farmworkers, consumer advocates, environmental protectors, and indigenous communities from all member countries, not just corporations writing agreements to benefit themselves.

[*]
        Preference should be given to agroecology and food justice. The TPP was widely expected to benefit the agriculture sector, largely expanding opportunities to the conventional agriculture sector that produces unhealthy food using unsustainable methods that drive climate change. The next round of trade agreements must prioritize agricultural systems that ensure fair payments for farmers, decent agricultural jobs, biodiversity and regenerative agriculture, and healthy food.

[*]
        The climate crisis must be addressed. Trade agreements are binding. Climate agreements, like the global agreement crafted in Paris in 2015 largely are not. Therefore, if we are serious about addressing the climate crisis, climate goals must receive priority in binding trade agreements.

[*]
        People must be prioritized over profits. Previous trade agreements drove a race to the bottom, encouraging companies to move jobs to where wages are lower and labor rights not enforced. In this scenario, no one wins. Fair trade means fair payments, living wages, and dignified work for people in all participating countries.



Take action now to tell Congress and the President we demand truly fair trade!<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=HDqFCLeOJiSKrOCea9nGIFc1PIsc9S74>

Message-ID: <CAMVrd31VQHTn_Jc9D+RBJ5tefNdc6Td567vtiiZGwy-8O2ysQQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

Here is a great poem that answers well Trump's "Let's make America again."

Let America Be America Again
Langston Hughes, 1902 - 1967


Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a home where he himself is free.

(America never was America to me.)

Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed?
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.

(It never was America to me.)

O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe.

(There?s never been equality for me,
Nor freedom in this ?homeland of the free.?)

Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark?
And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?

I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart,
I am the Negro bearing slavery?s scars.
I am the red man driven from the land,
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek?
And finding only the same old stupid plan
Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.

I am the young man, full of strength and hope,
Tangled in that ancient endless chain
Of profit, power, gain, of grab the land!
Of grab the gold! Of grab the ways of satisfying need!
Of work the men! Of take the pay!
Of owning everything for one?s own greed!

I am the farmer, bondsman to the soil.
I am the worker sold to the machine.
I am the Negro, servant to you all.
I am the people, humble, hungry, mean?
Hungry yet today despite the dream.
Beaten yet today?O, Pioneers!
I am the man who never got ahead,
The poorest worker bartered through the years.

Yet I?m the one who dreamt our basic dream
In the Old World while still a serf of kings,
Who dreamt a dream so strong, so brave, so true,
That even yet its mighty daring sings
In every brick and stone, in every furrow turned
That?s made America the land it has become.
O, I?m the man who sailed those early seas
In search of what I meant to be my home?
For I?m the one who left dark Ireland?s shore,
And Poland?s plain, and England?s grassy lea,
And torn from Black Africa?s strand I came
To build a ?homeland of the free.?

The free?

Who said the free?  Not me?
Surely not me?  The millions on relief today?
The millions shot down when we strike?
The millions who have nothing for our pay?
For all the dreams we?ve dreamed
And all the songs we?ve sung
And all the hopes we?ve held
And all the flags we?ve hung,
The millions who have nothing for our pay?
Except the dream that?s almost dead today.

O, let America be America again?
The land that never has been yet?
And yet must be?the land where every man is free.
The land that?s mine?the poor man?s, Indian?s, Negro?s, ME?
Who made America,
Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,
Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain,
Must bring back our mighty dream again.

Sure, call me any ugly name you choose?
The steel of freedom does not stain.
>From those who live like leeches on the people?s lives,
We must take back our land again,
America!

O, yes,
I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath?
America will be!

Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death,
The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,
We, the people, must redeem
The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.
The mountains and the endless plain?
All, all the stretch of these great green states?
And make America again!

Ann Rennacker-

Thank you for standing in solidarity with Indigenous water protectors and demanding Citibank cut funding to the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Will you ask your family and friends to join you in telling Citibank to cut funding to the Dakota Access Pipeline right now?<http://us.greenpeace.org/site/R?i=sNxzRr5E9ifYGe9b9qnSdw>

There is no way around it. Trump is rapidly assaulting our communities and the environment. He?s attempting to push through pipelines, dismantle clean air and water protections, and his choice for Secretary of State ? Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of Exxon ? was just confirmed by the Senate.

But the resistance movement is multiplying faster than ever.

More than 600,000 people ? connected with dozens of grassroots organizations ? have already demanded major banks cut funding to the Dakota Access Pipeline. Each one represents a potential loss of customers. If enough of us speak out, the banks will have no choice but to pull out of the project. No banks means no money and no pipeline.

Help grow the resistance! Ask your friends to stand up to Citibank, one of the largest funders of the Dakota Access Pipeline!<http://us.greenpeace.org/site/R?i=iX8frbS__FEH-gkWiqromw>

Thanks for all you do,

Trump and his administration keep unleashing new attacks on our communities and the climate.

Yesterday, the Senate confirmed Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of Exxon, as Secretary of State. And Trump and the acting Director of the Army Corp of Engineers have directed the Corps to grant the final permits needed to restart construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Even with these directives I know our movement will not sit by idly and accept this takeover of our government by the oil and gas industry. Indigenous water protectors at Standing Rock have shown us that uncompromising resistance gets results. We can still stop the Dakota Access Pipeline but we have to double down on our solidarity right now and resist the flow of money to the project.

Building this pipeline means trampling Indigenous rights and sovereinty and putting the Standing Rock Sioux?s drinking water at risk. Tell Citibank, one of the largest funders of the Dakota Access Pipeline, that it must pull funding today!<http://us.greenpeace.org/site/R?i=SREXUlAWh6obTa7uSealGw>

I spent three weeks in Standing Rock sharing my direct action skills with fellow indigenous water protectors and other allies. The movement resisting the pipeline is truly humbling. A reporter told me there was little chance that we would win this fight. And I said that I think ? and a lot of others around camp think ? that the pipeline project was already dead, the company just didn?t know it yet.

The struggle to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline has fostered unity, strength, and power for Indigenous peoples unlike anything I?ve seen before.

And it worked. The peaceful and prayerful camp at Standing Rock resulted in a victory when the Army Corps of Engineers didn?t grant the permits to drill under Lake Oahe.

Trump is trying to revive the pipeline right now, but the water protectors? camps are still standing strong through the North Dakota winter. And while they do their part from the ground to protect sacred lands and clean water, you can do yours by putting pressure on Citibank.

Tell Citibank to stop funding human rights abuse and environmental destruction by ending its support of the Dakota Access Pipeline today!<http://us.greenpeace.org/site/R?i=SwtJdWOm04Ov1vUgES2EmA>

Citibank has a duty ? and clear corporate policy ? to consider human rights and Indigenous peoples impacted by the projects it funds. And it is failing the Standing Rock Sioux and all the water protectors who have been attacked with tear gas, rubber bullets, and concussion grenades by militarized police.

Citibank takes the complaints of people like you very seriously ? every message sent could mean the loss of a customer or potential customer. So let?s make sure its top executives hear us!

Please send a message to Citibank today to tell the company you won?t support a bank that funds dirty projects like the Dakota Access Pipeline.<http://us.greenpeace.org/site/R?i=Gccwh2rliY2D7TgEsSAlPg>

Thank you for your resistance,

I just wrote to the National Security Council objecting to having Steve Bannon on the National Security Council and I urge you to call or write.  He is a "alternative fact" and "fake news" right-wing disrupter who has no place in the room when Security matters are being discussed!

Dear Ann,

We just learned that the Senate Committee on Homeland Security is taking calls about Steve Bannon's appointment to the National Security Council (NSC).

We're told that they're tallying calls.

You might get a busy signal but try, try, try again all this weekend. Leave a message if you get through to voicemail.

The number: 202-224-4751

Be sure to tell the committee that you believe no individual whose primary responsibility is political in nature should be allowed on the NSC or authorized to attend its meetings. Partisan politics have no place in our national security.

Please also email the committee using this form<http://donate.splcenter.org/page.redir?target=https%3a%2f%2fwww.hsgac.senate.gov%2fcontact&srcid=688255&srctid=1&erid=87002727&efndnum=12799079657&trid=b06928a3-b2d1-4e33-9005-a87039fd8139>.

wisdom from Paul Cienfuegos <https://www.facebook.com/PaulCienfuegos>

<https://www.facebook.com/PaulCienfuegos>
Here's a fascinating statement from Heather Richardson, Professor of
History at Boston College, analyzing the "shock event" that Bannon is
somewhat successfully unfolding, and how to outwit Bannon's plan:

"What Bannon is doing, most dramatically with last night's ban on
immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries-- is creating what is
known as a "shock event."

Such an event is unexpected and confusing and throws a society into chaos.
People scramble to react to the event, usually along some fault line that
those responsible for the event can widen by claiming that they alone know
how to restore order.

When opponents speak out, the authors of the shock event call them enemies.
As society reels and tempers run high, those responsible for the shock
event perform a sleight of hand to achieve their real goal, a goal they
know to be hugely unpopular, but from which everyone has been distracted as
they fight over the initial event. There is no longer concerted opposition
to the real goal; opposition divides along the partisan lines established
by the shock event.

Last night's Executive Order has all the hallmarks of a shock event. It was
not reviewed by any governmental agencies or lawyers before it was
released, and counter-terrorism experts insist they did not ask for it.
People charged with enforcing it got no instructions about how to do so.
Courts immediately have declared parts of it unconstitutional, but border
police in some airports are refusing to stop enforcing it.

Predictably, chaos has followed and tempers are hot.

My point today is this: unless you are the person setting it up, it is in
no one's interest to play the shock event game. It is designed explicitly
to divide people who might otherwise come together so they cannot stand
against something its authors think they won't like.

I don't know what Bannon is up to-- although I have some guesses-- but
because I know Bannon's ideas well, I am positive that there is not a
single person whom I consider a friend on either side of the aisle-- and my
friends range pretty widely-- who will benefit from whatever it is.

If the shock event strategy works, though, many of you will blame each
other, rather than Bannon, for the fallout. And the country will have been
tricked into accepting their real goal.

But because shock events destabilize a society, they can also be used
positively. We do not have to respond along old fault lines. We could just
as easily reorganize into a different pattern that threatens the people who
sparked the event.

A successful shock event depends on speed and chaos because it requires
knee-jerk reactions so that people divide along established lines. This,
for example, is how Confederate leaders railroaded the initial southern
states out of the Union.

If people realize they are being played, though, they can reach across old
lines and reorganize to challenge the leaders who are pulling the strings.
This was Lincoln's strategy when he joined together Whigs, Democrats,
Free-Soilers, anti-Nebraska voters, and nativists into the new Republican
Party to stand against the Slave Power.

Five years before, such a coalition would have been unimaginable. Members
of those groups agreed on very little other than that they wanted all
Americans to have equal economic opportunity. Once they began to work
together to promote a fair economic system, though, they found much common
ground.

They ended up rededicating the nation to a "government of the people, by
the people, and for the people."

Confederate leaders and Lincoln both knew about the political potential of
a shock event. As we are in the midst of one, it seems worth noting that
Lincoln seemed to have the better idea about how to use it."

Breitbart, the extreme far-right website that helped get Trump elected is trying to expand globally. But a people-powered campaign can stop them.

Already 800+ companies have ditched Breitbart -- let's get Costco to join them.

Costco: pull your advertisements from the website.

Ann,

Breitbart is the extreme far-right website that helped get Trump elected -- and now its former CEO is the most powerful unelected person in the White House. Breitbart is vying for a massive global expansion into France, Germany and Italy in time for key elections.

But Breitbart can't expand without money from advertisers.

Because of people like you, Kelloggs, BMW and AT&T are among the 800+ companies have already pulled ads from the website. Now it's Costco's turn.

Tell Costco stop investing in hate. Pull your ads from Breitbart<https://act.sumofus.org/go/351847?t=2&akid=27320.42337.ANJM4W>

Breitbart spews hate against women, LGBTQ+ people, Muslims and people of colour. Together, we can show corporations that this brand of bigotry is bad for business.

There is a massive grassroots campaign that is gaining traction everyday through social media. Already, over 800 companies have pulled their advertising from Breitbart with dedicated work from Sleeping Giants and SumOfUs members. Together, we can add Costco to the list.

Will you join the movement to stop Trump's brand of hatred from spreading?

Sign today to pressure Costco to pull its advertisements from Breitbart.<https://act.sumofus.org/go/351847?t=3&akid=27320.42337.ANJM4W>

Costco cares about it's customers, shareholders and it's public brand. Let's make sure it does the right thing now.

Thanks for all that you do,

Emma and the team at SumOfUs

Veterans For Peace Statement on Muslim Ban and Border Wall

[http://org.salsalabs.com/o/826/images/Resist-Lights.jpg]<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=UtbgvHnKnX9azKvuhNLiMQvObBjJmcST>

Veterans For Peace strongly condemns President Trump?s executive orders banning travelers from seven Muslim majority countries in the Middle East and North Africa, the expansion of a U.S.-Mexico border wall and the acceleration of deporting undocumented immigrants.

As veterans, we took an oath to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution. The fundamental values we were told we risked our lives to serve, the values for which so many of our brothers and sisters rendered the ultimate sacrifice, are now facing a serious and existential threat.

The Trump administration?s implementation of hateful White Nationalism through draconian executive orders that target Muslims and ban immigrants and refugees as well as U.S. visa and green card holders, and push for an extension of the wall on the border, are betrayals of the sacrifices made by U.S. veterans. <Read Full Statement<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=BRMnNt9sCpdvQRqeZ62V9wvObBjJmcST>>

Zinn Fund Request for Proposals

[http://org.salsalabs.com/o/826/images/VFP%20Logo%20-%20all%20caps.JPG]<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=q15zl8DCZ1lqcozFGQi%2F8QvObBjJmcST>The Howard Zinn Fund for Peace and Justice<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=SmaLfeCR7DOufABizFXcqwvObBjJmcST> was founded to support grass-roots projects that make demonstrated changes for greater peace and justice.

The Howard Zinn Fund for Peace and Justice seeks proposals<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=IB2zM2LTxBZJttRkolu%2FKgvObBjJmcST> from VFP Chapters and members working on bold new approaches to resisting the causes of war. While we are open to funding any project which fits the VFP mission, we are particularly interested in working with chapters to:

  1.  Increase diversity of membership and build new coalitions at the chapter level,
  2.  Resist fossil fuel projects at a local level,
  3.  Promote reconciliation and reparations for war crimes.

We will fund projects not related to the above items, and we do not want to dissuade any chapter or national member with a good idea and a plan of action from applying.

Open Letter to Donald Trump: End U.S. War in Afghanistan

[http://org.salsalabs.com/o/826/images/trumpafghanistan.jpg]<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=VTDOGCMmDPcO36o35hBNWgvObBjJmcST>

The U.S. war in Afghanistan is well into its 16th year. In 2014 President Obama declared it over, but it will remain a political, financial, security, legal, and moral problem unless you actually end it.

The U.S. military now has approximately 8,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan , plus 6,000 other NATO troops, 1,000 mercenaries, and another 26,000 contractors (of whom about 8,000 are from the United States). That's 41,000 people engaged in a foreign occupation of a country 15 years after the accomplishment of their stated mission to overthrow the Taliban government.
During each of the past 15 years, our government in Washington has informed us that success was imminent.

During each of the past 15 years, Afghanistan has continued its descent into poverty, violence, environmental degradation, and instability. The withdrawal of U.S. and NATO troops would send a signal to the world, and to the people of Afghanistan, that the time has come to try a different approach, something other than more troops and weaponry.

The four-term Senator has come under fire for his record on voting rights, race, immigration and police reform.

VFP Board Members Attend #NoBan Airport Protests in Albuquerque

Watch Veterans For Peace Board Member, Monique Salhab speak at the Airport protests!<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=CfiWcmrvSLlIUJaIR3ZC9QvObBjJmcST>

"WE felt the presence and solidarity of veterans was important. Not only as veterans but as citizens and human beings we have an obligation to stand with and for all those who are oppressed. We remember and believe what Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.? Besides that, the human experience of being with so many people who care about others, who care about human rights and justice was incredibly empowering and uplifting." -Tarak Kauff, VFP National Board Member

A Request from VFP-ROCK
[http://org.salsalabs.com/o/826/images/OkinawaFBPic.jpg]<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ecsRvDCoajjuORQvaJs8If4V%2FyjY%2Bl7Q>

VFP-ROCK sent a letter and request to all members to help futher the work of the Okinawan people.

"Warm greetings from Okinawa.  Two resolutions opposing yet more base construction on Okinawa, Resolutions 2016-9 and 2016-20 were passed by acclamation at the convention, with less than ten opposing votes each in the national polling. This was reported in the local Okinawan newspapers and television, giving great encouragement to the demilitarization movement in Okinawa.  As the US military occupation of Okinawa enters year 71, much gratitude goes to the US chapters of VFP for their solidarity and advocacy.

Now that the resolutions have been officially approved by the membership, it is time for us to ask each chapter to take some form of action on this, to the degree possible."

50th Anniversary of Beyond Vietnam Speech

<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=j%2FvG6CjOUB0k7A%2F2zqc%2BJgvObBjJmcST>

April 4, 2017 will be the 50th anniversary of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.?s speech Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence.  In confronting the deeply rooted racism,  militarism and materialism of the United States,  Dr. King described the United States as the greatest purveyor of violence in the world.

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the reading of Martin Luther King?s ?Beyond Vietnam? speech, we are asking local VFP chapters to organize speech-reading events.

Check out our website for helpful resources on how you and your chapter can host an event!<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=6jyYv0ry5%2BC7zxuRkjX3UwvObBjJmcST>

"I grieve about how this nation has forgotten its values and what we stand for as Americans. For me, it has absolutely nothing to do with political ideology or who resides in the White House. For me, it?s about remembering my heritage, the people I knew and loved. For me, it?s about who I am, and where I came from. For me it?s about the values that I fought for, and for which many of my friends died."

Message-ID: <BN6PR07MB2913546A42F93989DD725C8BDD420@BN6PR07MB2913.namprd07.prod.outlook.com>

 Present: Sheila, Bob, Daniel, Irene, Barbara, Ann and Guest Tim.  Meeting called to order at 12:04.

- There is an EIR for Standing Rock which must be signed by Feb 20, comments re: Tribal Treaty rights, Natural Resources, Cultural and Tribal Sacred places, socio-economic concerns and environmental justice. The best online link is "www//actionnetwork.org/letters/submit-a-public-comment-on-dapl-eis".

- Trump's executive order for a Muslim ban was turned down by a Federal Judge in Seattle, and will go to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.  Then it will go to the Supreme Court, and if they deadlock the decision will revert back to the Federal Judge.  Trump is very angry and trying to foment fear.

- Tim came to meet up after meeting Sheila on Friday near the bank, and related his foreclosure story on us.  Wells Fargo sold him a mortgage he could hardly afford, kept raising the payments, charged balloon payments and then he got scammed by a Law firm in L.A.

Tim spent a lot of time at the law library and tried to hold on as long as possible, but lost the house.  He got $9000 back from the bogus scam lawyer, but no money "trickled down" from Wells Fargo.  We discussed how we can try to make Welist of the foreclosed homeowners, find lawyers that know real estate law. Find a legal assistance program, if any.  This is a bad political climate for protections and consumers - the corruption rules and protections around Dodd-Frank are being dismantled.

- Millsite DTSC meeting - There was a Thursday open house with maps, charts, pictures from 3-5, then a City Council meeting where a presentation to the Council and community was given a 6pm.  There will be a joint Planning and Council meeting Monday to discuss Millsite zoning and land use planning.

- May Day - We can have a March, signs, invite Latinos (Cinco de Mayo?)  To reserve Park costs $.  Discuss next meeting.

- Outreach to Rennie Ennis so Sheila can contact folks who give her their cards by e-mail.  Sheila will find out about Paul Wellstone camps and report back.

- Sun 2/5 in Mendocino at the Community Center folks will do a phone bank and card-writing campaign. 1-3.

- Next Hwy Cleanup will be in March, as it has been raining a lot.

- KZYX Sheila published a good article in last week's AVA.  The financials were not completely disclosed, so Sheila asked for the rules.  The new General Manager, Paul has plans to do trainings.  News costs uncertain as the figures were lumped into the Staffing costs.  But new G/M seems honest and is more transparent than the last guy, Coates.

-  The Democrats are trying to be more progressive, and are having a meeting Feb 15th at the Harbor Lite Lodge, 5:30.

- Next O/M Meeting Sat. Feb 18th 12-2

Trump questions lawmakers' efforts to curb asset seizures by police

by Reuters
Tuesday, 7 February 2017 19:49 GMT

By Emily Stephenson

WASHINGTON, Feb 7 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Tuesday there was "no reason" to curb law enforcement agencies that seize cash, vehicles and other assets of people suspected of crimes, a practice that some lawmakers and activists have criticized for denying legal rights.

The issue of civil asset forfeiture, created to disrupt the activities of organized crime groups, arose when sheriffs from around the United States told Trump at a White House meeting that they were under pressure to ease the practice.

"I'd like to look into that," Trump said. "There's no reason for that."

In 2016, a group of Republican and Democratic lawmakers introduced a bill, which did not become law, that would have required the government to do more to show that seized property was connected to a crime. Critics have said suspects have few avenues to challenge the seizures and that forfeiture laws were sometimes abused. Police in some cases seize property from people who are never charged or convicted.

Trump, a Republican, asked acting U.S. Attorney General Dana Boente, who was at the gathering, whether executive orders or legislation were needed to support forfeiture. Boente said that was unnecessary but law enforcement agencies needed encouragement.

Trump voiced disagreement with lawmakers who want to change asset forfeiture laws, and some of the sheriffs laughed when Trump suggested he might want to "destroy" the career of one Texas legislator.

He said members of the U.S. Congress would "get beat up really badly by the voters" if they interfered with law enforcement's activities...

Tell your Assemblymember: Don?t invest in dirty fossil fuels, honor California?s climate leadership, and divest from the Dakota Access Pipeline.
<http://act.ecovote.org/site/R?i=gFbeyZUZINHfWCATOjZOfg>
Dear Ann,

Reuters just reported the Army Corps of Engineers has canceled the ongoing environmental review of the Dakota Access Pipeline and will allow construction to resume as soon as tomorrow. Once operational, DAPL would send as much as 450,000 barrels of dirty shale oil beneath Lake Oahe each day, endangering the primary water supply for Standing Rock and the Missouri River itself. This is beyond unacceptable!

Here?s where California comes in: CalPERS, our state retirement fund, owns 1.1 million shares of Energy Transfer Partners, the company building this dirty oil pipeline. And thanks to Assemblymember Ash Kalra, there is a new bill in the Assembly requiring our state pension funds divest their holdings from any company involved in the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Sign the petition to your Assemblymember urging California to divest from the Dakota Access Pipeline today! <http://act.ecovote.org/site/R?i=RegfxKdsJA6afyLE_Ln-xw>

California is leading the nation and the world in the fight against climate change and for a clean energy economy. We shouldn?t be investing in dirty fossil fuels to fund our future; but rather, we should invest in the green economy we are building here in California.

Two years ago, we successfully passed legislation in Sacramento divesting our state pension funds from thermal coal because our public monies should go to support our values as Californians. With your help, we can once again divest from dirty fossil fuels and send a message that California stands with the people of Standing Rock to oppose the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Tell your Assemblymember: Don?t invest in dirty fossil fuels, honor California?s climate leadership, and divest from the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Together we will stand against President Trump and his politics of pollution. Together our voices are powerful.

Dear Ann,

Outrageous. The Trump administration just issued the final approval for the Dakota Access Pipeline, putting corporate profits above the safety and sovereignty of the Standing Rock Sioux. Trump is blatantly ignoring the environmental review and public comment period that the Army Corps of Engineers already started under the Obama administration.

The Standing Rock Sioux recently stated, "We stand ready to fight this battle against corporate interest superseding government procedure and the health and well-being of millions of Americans." We continue to stand with them.

Take action: Send a message to the Army Corps of Engineers to hold them accountable for putting Big Oil first by stopping the environmental review of the Dakota Access Pipeline!<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=d3b518e369cf786cf51b085381180619adcf8284c1998a05941c03065816f41fcbd8347be63cd44e31a960f2267d740f2104868890fba20289505b2ea5e27d36>

In December, the Obama administration ordered an environmental review of the pipeline to study the effect it would have on the Standing Rock Sioux's sacred land and Lake Oahe, the body of water the pipeline would cut through. The public comment period opened in January, and since then, the Water Protectors and their supporters have already submitted more than 200,000 comments opposing the pipeline that the Army Corps has now chosen to ignore in favor of helping Big Oil.

This blatant disregard for the rights of the Standing Rock Sioux, the need for an environmental review, and for the democratic process of considering public feedback is unacceptable. Send a message to the Army Corps of Engineers now to show them that we will not be silenced!<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=d3b518e369cf786c095c7de2009cfe8a65e01e60e447ef0299860caf4d827a4cece20a39474bf15e334fa003fac4349ecfe4205c2b46454442e11f3a8125a5fa>

By casting people aside for corporate polluter profits, Donald Trump continues to show what his White House stands for: corruption, bigotry, and greed. More than 300 tribes and millions of Americans will continue to stand united in opposition to this reckless project, and we are not backing down. We will continue to stand in solidarity with the movement that is challenging the fossil fuel status quo in so many places - from the Tribes fighting the Trans Pecos Pipeline in Texas, to the First Nations and landowners fighting the Keystone XL pipeline, to the landowners challenging the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, to the Gwich'in people standing up for continued protection of the Alaska Refuge. Our movement is strong, and it cannot be silenced by this administration's blatant prioritization of corporate profits over people's wellbeing.

Last year, 15,000 people -- including veterans and hundreds of Tribes from around the world -- traveled to North Dakota to peacefully support the Standing Rock Sioux and oppose this dangerous pipeline. Their prayers and songs were increasingly met by a militarized police force using dogs, water cannons, rubber bullets, pepper spray, concussion grenades, and other tactics designed to intimidate, dehumanize, and invoke fear.

There's no question that a fair and comprehensive environmental review would show that this pipeline will threaten the safety of every community it cuts through, including the ancestral lands of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. We must hold the Army Corps of Engineers accountable for breaking their promise to Standing Rock and to the millions of people who supported them. Speak up by sending the Army Corps a letter now.<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=d3b518e369cf786cc615b8abf0ecf0f80e9e3750e8a7a8cb2c5228225ba8f7f85e1954c04f352a311a749150b84d86bbdad0a3865a7c32f642c3c29868b528b3>

This is just the first step in our fight to hold the administration and the Army Corps of Engineers accountable, and we will continue to let you know how you can fight back. We will not back down.

Thank you for standing with Standing Rock,

Michael Brune

President Trump has threatened to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement. Show him the relentless opposition he'll face if he does.

TAKE ACTION<http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=YVmBx3Jevc7iBRATI7so6A>



Ann,

Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement.

We've already seen his swift action on other environmental fronts in just the first few weeks of his presidency. If we're going to have any chance of upholding this landmark global agreement to combat climate change, we need to take action now.

Tell Trump not to pull out of the Paris Agreement ? and warn him, if he does, that he'll face enormous, irreversible consequences.<http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=0nU3hySqJWpoCd19ln4dJg>

Nearly every nation on earth, including the world's top polluters ? the U.S. China, India and the E.U ? signed the agreement, making historic commitments to reduce carbon pollution and avert climate catastrophe.

If Trump pulls out of the climate treaty, it will thwart the critical environmental progress not just here in the U.S., but also worldwide. And it will turn the U.S. from a respected world leader into a pariah on the international stage.

Every year, more and more of us experience rising temperatures, crippling drought, more severe storms and increased flooding in our neighborhoods.

We know that the President and his climate-denying cabinet's refusal to accept, much less act on, the global threat of climate change threatens our national security. And we know that expanding energy efficiency, solar and wind power will create thousands of new clean energy jobs that will put more Americans back to work ? not shackle us to the dirty fossil fuels of the last century.

And perhaps most importantly, Americans know that if we retreat from the Paris Agreement, we're retreating from our fundamental obligation to leave our children a livable planet.

It's no wonder that 71% of Americans, including 57% of Republicans, want the U.S. to stay committed to the treaty.

Tell Trump that he will face growing, relentless opposition from Americans and people around the world if he pulls out of the Paris Climate Agreement and turns the U.S. into a global pariah.<http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=nDVZhY3yKGiqliZIfsXXYg>

Thank you for adding your voice.

Sincerely,

[Rhea]

Dear Ann,

Tell Sens. Collins & Murkowski to stop thief David Friedman from representing America.

Take Action<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=nnNPYeFq6HWgCrQNspiC5m3rrPvK3DdE>

An apartment building in a West Bank settlement was funded by an organization headed by David Friedman, Trump?s nominee for ambassador to Israel. The building is financed by American Friends of Beit El Institutions, which Friedman chairs. American Friends of Beit El Institutions raised almost $667,000 for its Israeli counterpart, the Organization for the Sukkat Ovadia Yeshiva of Beit El. The Israeli organization funded construction projects on private Palestinian land. The projects were illegal under Israeli law. The planned apartment building is also to be built on private Palestinian land<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=dTYaiI0lsckXIrG28YT7km3rrPvK3DdE>.

Urge Sens. Collins & Murkowski to stop thief David Friedman from representing America by signing our petition at MoveOn<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=cdMLzqmXaCHlULklYqbbGG3rrPvK3DdE>.

To stop private property thief David Friedman from representing America, we need the help of at least three Senate Republicans. True conservatives oppose the government theft of private property. Maine's Sen. Susan Collins and Alaska's Sen. Lisa Murkowski voted no<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=J86TH1GqO88ekBXYxMYW123rrPvK3DdE> on Betsy DeVos. [2] If they could vote no on Betsy DeVos, they can vote no on the thief David Friedman.

Urge Maine's Susan Collins and Alaska's Lisa Murkowski to oppose the government theft of private property by signing and sharing our petition<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=48WD9ZsvIUB90rTQRpigEtEmC9QxjE9K>.

	illegal acts
Message-ID: <CAMVrd33nauK+kSyNRUD_iY1kAEOJ-RJDE4Lh_G9g25Fq-74CxA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

On February 9, 2017, Representative Jerrold Nadler took the extraordinary
step of filing a "resolution of inquiry" in the U.S. House that could force
a House investigation into Donald Trump?s financial conflicts of interest
and ties to the Russian government.

Media reports have called Rep. Nadler?s action the ?most aggressive move?
yet by Democrats.

If Rep. Nadler is successful, the Department of Justice will have "to
provide Congress with the basic information required to conduct an inquiry
into President Trump and his associates" conflicts of interest, ethical
violations?including the Emoluments Clause?and connections to the Russian
government." The DOJ will also have to provide information related to " any
criminal or counterintelligence investigation targeting President Donald J.
Trump, National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Carter Page,
Roger Stone, or any employee of the Executive Office of the President."

This could be just the breakthrough needed for the American people to learn
the full extent of Trump's unconstitutional activity.

The House Judiciary Committee has 14 legislative days to respond to Rep.
Nadler's request, or it will automatically go to the full House for vote,
forcing Republicans to grapple with and vote on whether they are going to
take seriously and investigate?or continue to ignore?Trump?s flagrant
ethical and constitutional violations.

That's why we need a massive wave of support and media attention now to
make sure all the committee members understand that the American people
demand a timely and thorough investigation of Donald Trump.

Anything short of that is a complete abdication of their oversight
responsibility?and we will hold them accountable accordingly.

That's why I signed a petition to Members of the House Judiciary Committee,
which says:

"Vote in favor of a House investigation into Donald Trump?s financial
conflicts of interest and ties to the Russian government."

Will you sign the petition too? Click here to add your name:

I called to ask about the outcome for this bill, which was voted on yesterday but the Congressman's representative did not know the outcome, and then I googled it, but found no news.  I hope the CalPERS vote to divest happened! There is a lot of money invested, all the State workers are in CalPERS.  Ann

I heard back from Jim Wood's office.  He is for the bill in concept, but does not take public positions on bills until he sees the version he will be voting on.  The bill is currently in committee.

This seem acceptable to me, but I think it would be well to track the bill and to let other groups in the district know about the bill and that we are watching.  Per Ruth, CalPERS objection to divestment is something he would not necessarily be swayed by, though he would look at it.

See y'all on Saturday and at next week's meeting.

Subject: Assembly Bill to Divest CALPERS from DAPL

Hi Jenny,

This is for the list.

 I don't remember how I heard of this ? there is a bill in the CA Assembly by Ash Kalra, freshman Assemblymember from San Jose, to divest California's two big public employee retirement funds from DAPL.  See the text of the bill here: http://leginfo. legislature.ca.gov/faces/ billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id= 201720180AB20<http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB20>

I called Jim Wood's office today.  Per staff he has not taken a position on this bill.  They have been very busy in Sacramento figuring out how to respond to threats the the Affordable Care Act.

I let Ruth (local staffer) know that some local constituents are supporting the water protectors, are passionate about the issue and want to know where our local Assemblymember stands.

Stay tuned.  If lobbying is needed, I have some experience doing that and would be happy to coach our group.

Margaret

p.s.  If there is a NoDAPL group on the coast, let's them know about this too.

For information/interest - our presser sent out today

LOVE SCOTLAND - BAN FRACKING
An urgent call from Frackwatch Glasgow for people to respond to the government's public consultation saying no to this dirty industry.

The Scottish government is consulting the public on whether unconventional gas extraction (fracking) should be allowed in some of Scotland's most densely populated areas, including round Glasgow at Bishopbriggs, Robroyston and Milton and nearby in East Dunbartonshire and Lanarkshire.
Frackwatch Glasgow launches its campaign today with the slogan "Love Scotland - Ban Fracking", urging every Glaswegian to tell the Scottish government that they don't want this dirty industry. The government's own impact studies highlight clear risks to health, to air quality, and to quality of life for people living near the drilling, with noise and heavy traffic.
The group has also called on politicians of all parties to be honest with people about the economic benefits of fracking.
There are growing worries the Scottish government may be trying to move the public towards acceptance, with Ministers claiming the process would "help Scotland's petro-chemical industry". That's a very grand statement; what it means is simply that INEOS, who own almost all current licences in Scotland, could frack close to people's homes and schools and businesses, to get cheap ethanol for its plastics production.
As far as the wider economy is concerned, there is no benefit worth speaking of. The Scottish government's own consultant, KPMG, stated in its report that:

"According to our estimates, the industry could represent an average of 0.1% of Scottish GDP (2015 figure) in our Central scenario and 0.3% in our High scenario which is not a large contribution to the Scottish economy."
Not only government ministers, but also Conservative MSPs need to meet high standards when discussing economic facts.
Glasgow's two Conservative MSPs (Ann Wells and Adam Tomkins) have been responding to constituents with claims that KPMG said up to "?4.6 billion in GVA (gross value added) could be generated by fracking in Scotland along with 3,100 jobs and ?3.9 billion in tax receipts across the UK."
But the figure of ?4.6 billion GVA is the highest possible figure in the KPMG report. The central estimate just ?1.2bn.
The MSPs also failed to point out that these are totals over 42 years. So the annualised amount is ?110m GVA per annum in the High Scenario and in the Central scenario, about ?30m a year.
The jobs figure is also picking the highest estimate. The central estimate is 1,400 FTE (full-time equivalent) jobs, and that is at the peak of production and would last only a few years.
Compare these figures to the latest figures on the economic impact of low carbon industries in Scotland, which generated ?10.7 billion in turnover in one year alone (2014, the most recent figure available) and supported 43,500 jobs.
More and more states and countries are banning fracking - from New York State to Victoria in Australia, from Germany to Maryland and even closer to home, Wales has a ban. Should Scotland not join this progressive alliance, rather than follow the Tories in England, forcing fracking on unwilling communities?
Nicola Sturgeon promised: "We will not allow fracking in Scotland because we will not take risks with our environment while there are still unanswered questions."
Those questions, those risks, are clearer than ever.
If you love Scotland, if you love our planet, tell the Scottish government to ban fracking.

Dear all,

fyi 2 new studies on hydrocarbons production and methane emissions:

1. Marcellus Shale: Study casts doubt on emission benefits of natural gas<http://www.eenews.net/greenwire/2017/02/10/stories/1060049893>

Study/Research Article: Analysis of local-scale background concentrations of methane and other gas-phase species in the Marcellus Shale<http://www.eenews.net/assets/2017/02/10/document_gw_03.pdf>

"New research on the Marcellus Shale region in Pennsylvania challenges the relative climate benefits of natural gas production.
A study<http://www.eenews.net/assets/2017/02/10/document_gw_03.pdf> by Drexel University released yesterday found that atmospheric levels of methane increased by 100 parts per billion between 2012 and 2015, despite a slowdown in the number of new natural gas wells. Authors noted that marks a substantial jump compared to a 6 parts per billion global increase in concentrations of the potent greenhouse gas.
Drexel's Peter DeCarlo, who led the study, said the rapid increase represents a "shifting of emissions from development to production stage."
During the three-year time period, the amount of natural gas produced nearly doubled. The study notes other major sources of methane, such as agricultural activity, have not likely changed in the region.
It points to persistent sources of emissions associated with production and distribution, such as pipelines, compressor stations or processing facilities. The finding, authors said, could suggest that measures taken by natural gas producers to decrease leakage are not sufficient to reduce methane leakage.
DeCarlo told E&E News that it looks like additional monitoring is necessary.
The Pennsylvania director of Energy In Depth, which is aligned with the oil and gas industry, said it is important to take the study's findings in proper context. Nicole Jacobs said in an email that the increase is a "minuscule amount and shows emissions essentially remained flat," aligning with other studies of the region.
Data<http://www.dep.pa.gov/Business/Energy/OilandGasPrograms/OilandGasMgmt/Pages/Annual-Report.aspx> released in August from the state's Department of Environmental Protection showed methane emissions fell 12 percent between 2012 and 2014 while production increased 33 percent.
The study comes as Republicans on Capitol Hill move forward with efforts to repeal an Interior Department regulation that seeks to limit natural gas flaring, venting and leakage on public and tribal lands. Senators are preparing to take up a resolution passed last week by the House that targets the Obama-era Bureau of Land Management rule (Greenwire<http://www.eenews.net/greenwire/stories/1060049534>, Feb. 3).
Environmentalists have cited methane as a major contributor to climate change in addition, pushing Congress to preserve the standard.
The League of Conservation Voters called the rule "an important step in reducing our contributions to a changing climate that threatens our health, communities, ecosystems, economy, security, and way of life" in a letter<https://www.lcv.org/article/re-oppose-drastic-repeal-blms-methane-waste-prevention-rule-2/> sent to senators yesterday that urged a "no" vote.
Oil and gas industry advocates, including the American Petroleum Institute, argue BLM lacks the authority to regulate air quality and that the rule could impede energy production. They note increased production of natural gas has helped the United States reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and companies already have high financial incentives to try to capture methane emissions.

2. Oil's methane emissions higher than feared <http://www.iiasa.ac.at/web/home/about/news/170201-oilgas.html>

Study/Research Letter: Bottom-up simulations of methane and ethane emissions from global oil and gas systems 1980 to 2012<http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa583e/meta;jsessionid=4D78E863DB2EA1B51BC882894DBC298F.c3.iopscience.cld.iop.org> <http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa583e/meta;jsessionid=4D78E863DB2EA1B51BC882894DBC298F.c3.iopscience.cld.iop.org>

"Global methane and ethane emissions from oil production from 1980 to 2012 were far higher than previous estimates show, according to a new study which for the first time takes into account different production management systems and geological conditions around the world.
...
In the new paper, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, H?glund-Isaksson estimated global methane emissions from oil and gas systems in over 100 countries over a 32-year period, using a variety of country-specific data ranging from reported volumes of associated gas to satellite imagery that can show flaring, as well as atmospheric measurements of ethane, a gas which is released along with methane and easier to link more directly to oil and gas activities.
...
She found that in particular in the 1980s, global methane emissions were as much as double previous estimates. The study also found that the Russian oil industry contributes a large amount to global methane emissions. A decline in the Russian oil industry in the 1990s contributed to a global decline in methane emissions which continued until the early 2000's. At the same time, H?glund-Isaksson found, methane recovery systems were becoming more common and helping to reduce emissions. Yet since 2005, emissions from oil and gas systems have remained fairly constant, which H?glund-Isaksson says is likely linked to increasing shale gas production which largely offsets emission reductions from increased gas recovery.
..."

Andy

FREDDIE,

This Thursday, millionaires and billionaires will stop paying into Social
Security. To shine a spotlight on this unfair policy, Social Security
Works is joining with Social Security Champion Bernie Sanders for a
national day of action.

Sign the pledge today! Pledge to call your Senators this Thursday,
February 16th and tell them that millionaires and billionaires should pay
into Social Security at the same rate as the rest of us???and that doing
so would allow us to expand benefits. We will send a script and a reminder
Thursday.

Right now, the way we fund Social Security???a regressive practice that
only applies to the first $127,200 of a wage earner???s
income???contributes to wealth and income inequality in the U.S.

A millionaire won???t pay anything into our Social Security system for at
least the last ten and a half months of the year. This is because our
Social Security system is primarily funded by payroll contributions (or
FICA). Once the FICA cap of $127,200 is reached, millionaires and
billionaires stop paying into the system, while the vast majority of
Americans continue to pay in on all of their salary.

Stand with Senator Bernie Sanders and Social Security Works. Pledge to
call your Senators this Thursday and tell them to ???scrap the cap??? on
Social Security payroll contributions and demand the wealthy pay their
fair share.

Social Security benefits provide critical financial stability to seniors,
children, surviving spouses and veterans. It is outrageous that
Republicans???at the behest of their Wall Street backers???continue to
call for cuts to Social Security based on a future projected shortfall to
the trust fund when all we need is to ask millionaires and billionaires to
pay their fair share!

Sign the pledge today. Join Social Security Champion Bernie Sanders in
calling on Congress to ???scrap the cap??? and require millionaires and
billionaires to pay into Social Security at the same rate as the rest of
us.

Thank you,

Michael Phelan
Social Security Works

exposure to all the pesticides, females are
 forced into birth control and often sterilization

Dear Nancy Liela,

Today is Valentine???s Day: you may not know, though, that 65% of flowers
given in the U.S. on this day celebrating love come from Colombia.
Unfortunately, though, the treatment of the workers who cut and prepare
those flowers shows nothing like tenderness toward them: to learn more,
watch this video from the WFP Colombia Team, featuring our Colombian
partner organization Cactus, as well as representatives of the flower
sector in Colombia. And we need you to take action TODAY to help protect
these workers' rights!   2/3 of flower workers have health problems due to
exposure to pesticides and toxins (many prohibited in the U.S.).    During
the high season, many workers have to endure 12-22 hour shifts, six days a
week.


     Members of the 60%-female workforce are often forced to take
pregnancy tests and birth control as a condition for employment.    
Workers are denied their right to collectively organize, bargain and
strike, despite the promises made under the Labor Action Plan--agreed
upon in 2011 as a precursor to  the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade
Agreement (FTA)--that workers' rights would be protected.
But you can do something about this difficult situation for Colombian
flower workers!

Representative Keith Ellison (MN) is introducing a resolution in Congress
this evening to recognize today, February 14, as International Flower
Workers??? Day. This includes a commitment to improve conditions for
workers, and a revision of the Labor Action Plan to ???uphold the
fulfillment of strong labor commitments under the U.S. Colombia Free Trade
Agreement.???

Please call (or write) your member of Congress today and urge them to
sponsor this resolution. Help protect human rights in Colombia.

Ask your representative to be in touch with Brieana Marticorena at Rep.
Ellison's office (Brieana.Marticorena at mail.house.gov) to add his/her name
to the resolution.

In solidarity, and with affection and deep appreciation for our inspiring
Colombian partners,

BREAKING: The Office of Government Ethics just formally recommended an immediate investigation of Kellyanne Conway?s ethics violation promoting Ivanka Trump?s products.1



But the Republican Congress still hasn?t launched an investigation.



Tell House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. Jason Chaffetz: Investigate Trump White House for ethics violations!<https://act.demandprogress.org/sign/tell-congress-investigate-ethics-violations-trump-white-house/?source=demandprogress&t=1&akid=5187.1529145.1RpR5B>

Hi Ann,

Recently the Nordstrom department store chain announced it would no longer carry Ivanka Trump?s clothing and shoe line. What did Donald Trump do? Naturally, he lashed out on Twitter and used his power as president to attack the company:

?My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!?2

Trump attacking the company was bad enough. But then one of his top White House advisors, Kellyanne Conway, appeared on live television and told viewers to buy Ivanka Trump?s products ? a blatant violation of federal ethics rules:

?Go buy Ivanka?s stuff is what I would say. I?m going to give a free commercial here: Go buy it today everybody, you can find it online.?2

Tell the House Oversight Committee Chair: Immediately investigate ethics violations by Kellyanne Conway and the Trump White House!<https://act.demandprogress.org/sign/tell-congress-investigate-ethics-violations-trump-white-house/?source=demandprogress&t=2&akid=5187.1529145.1RpR5B>

The rules on this sort of thing are very clear. According to the Office of Government Ethics:

?An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity.?

It is the job of the House Oversight Committee to ensure all government officials and employees abide by our ethics rules, holding everyone, Democrat or Republican, to the same standards.

Rarely are ethics violations made in such plain language and under the glare of studio lights. To ignore this would send a message to every administration official and federal employee it is open season on professional standards and government ethics.

That's why Elizabeth Warren and five other senators have sent an email to the White House counsel asking him to outline how he is going to prevent such ethics violations in the future.4

Sign the Petition: Tell Rep. Jason Chaffetz, House Oversight Committee Chair, to launch an investigation into Kellyanne Conway?s ethics violations.<https://act.demandprogress.org/sign/tell-congress-investigate-ethics-violations-trump-white-house/?source=demandprogress&t=3&akid=5187.1529145.1RpR5B>

Thanks for all you do,

Carli Stevenson
Campaigner

PS - Jason Chaffetz has received HUGE backlash for not holding Trump accountable as House Oversight Committee Chair. Over 1,000 people attended his recent town hall to hold his feet to the fire. Sign our petition and help keep the momentum going!

John -

Donald Trump and his Republican friends thought it was going to be easy. They would get to Washington and ram through their agenda, taking health care away from 30 million Americans, privatizing Medicare, and defunding Planned Parenthood, while giving tax cuts to their millionaire and billionaire friends.

Their plans have begun to unravel, but only because of the tremendous levels of grassroots actions we've witnessed -- town halls overflowing with constituents, rallies across the country, and of course the unprecedented outpouring of activism during the women's march.

We cannot stop. That is why I am calling on you, some of the best organizers in Our Revolution, to sign up to lead rallies on February 25th, while Republicans are in their districts during the Congressional recess. <https://go.ourrevolution.com/page/m/24fb0a24/43f2db15/20d83c3b/62004a0e/3093918845/VEsH/> 

The impact of what Republicans are planning would be devastating to the working men and women of this country. If they repeal the Affordable Care Act it would cut health care for the poor and privatize it for the aging.

Thirty million Americans will lose their health insurance, but that is not all. Half of American households have someone with a pre-existing condition that will put coverage out of reach. Seniors could see their Medicare premiums rise by as much as 50%, while their benefits are slashed and their prescription drug costs increase an average of $2,000.

This is unacceptable. Our country must go forward and join the rest of the industrialized world and make health care a right, not a privilege. We should be moving towards a Medicare for All system instead of limiting coverage. Republicans, want to take us backwards by forcing working class Americans to lose their coverage and seniors to pay more, all the while giving huge tax cuts to Mr. Trump?s millionaire friends.

That is why it?s critical we organize and demonstrate. If the American people rise up, we can force Washington to listen. We need your help to make that happen.

Our Revolution members are organizing across the country. Sign up today to host a February 25th rally in your community. <https://go.ourrevolution.com/page/m/24fb0a24/43f2db15/20d83c3b/62004a0e/3093918845/VEsE/>  If you live in a district with a Republican member of Congress, ask him/her to attend your rally and explain why they want to devastate health care in America while giving huge tax breaks to billionaires.

The test of our movement?s strength will be its longevity and our ability to show the same energy and the passion we did in 2016 as we fight for the values we hold dear.

Thank you for continuing to be a part of our political revolution.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

Consumer Watchdog Under Attack <http://cu.convio.net/site/R?i=hQklq6OjLDILPdCksfiIMA>

Wall Street lobbyists and their allies in government are attacking our financial watchdog ? the only regulator that stands up for consumers like us against the banks and credit companies.

Act now ?<http://cu.convio.net/site/R?i=1OhK3cks0vRAITmsOpYucg>


Ann

After the Wall Street crash, Congress created a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to ensure consumers have a watchdog fighting for their interests in the financial sector. In just five years, the CFPB has already returned nearly $12 billion to consumers who were swindled by big banks, lenders, debt collectors and other financial firms. That?s real money ? back in the pockets of consumers like us.

Now Wall Street lobbyists want to exploit the changing tides in Washington to gut this critical watchdog. In the interest of padding their profits, Wall Streeters are pushing a series of bills and executive orders designed to undercut key consumer protections that save us money.

Act now to tell the administration and Congress to stand up for our consumer watchdog. Don?t weaken the CFPB?s powers to rein in fraud and abuse on Wall Street.<http://cu.convio.net/site/R?i=6lz5jnCY2FtpAYoCOcRPCA>

The CFPB is the only government watchdog equipped to fight the powerful interests on Wall Street. Over the past five years, they?ve protected homeowners from illegal foreclosures, cracked down on fraudulent credit card fees, and expanded safeguards for prepaid debit cardholders. Since its creation, the CFPB has fielded and helped to resolve more than 1 million complaints from consumers about shady financial practices.

As we speak, a new resolution is moving through Congress that would strip away important safeguards on prepaid debit cards that help consumers avoid costly fees and fraud traps. And a new House bill proposed this week would turn our watchdog into a lapdog by eliminating its authority to supervise banks, credit reporting agencies, and payday lenders.

We can?t afford to lose these critical protections or allow Congress to gut our watchdog.

There are few special interests in Washington as powerful as Wall Street. But if we bring our voices together, consumers can be an even stronger force for good. When you?re done signing the petition in support of the CFPB, take a moment to forward this mailing to your friends and family to get them on board.

Thank you for all you do.

President Trump: "I want to do the right thing for the American people"

[Facebook]<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=e%2BxOXjO3H8mOZ0VOZuwy9xvOxUAveHuX> [Twitter] <http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qNQUg9Rc6C%2FUWnu%2FkN31ACIvcM2brTPU>  [Addthis] <http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=bm9k5hSUoUS3Y5F9GORwmBvOxUAveHuX>

At a press conference today, President Donald Trump said, ?I want to do the right thing for the American people, and to be honest, secondarily, I want to do the right thing for the world.? Trump said this in the context of U.S.-Russian relations, and immediately referred to each country?s massive nuclear arsenal. He also stated, ?Nuclear holocaust would be like no other.?

Nuclear weapons put civilization and the human species at risk of annihilation, which is why we published an open letter to Presidents Trump and Putin in The Hill<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ZkMlgGDZPWauNWVSv4%2BInQKmOSZWFak6> about this very issue early this morning. The open letter calls on the two leaders to negotiate for the total elimination of nuclear weapons.

The letter was signed by NAPF President David Krieger, NAPF Senior Vice President Richard Falk, Nobel Peace Laureate Jody Williams, MIT Professor Emeritus Noam Chomsky, NAPF Distinguished Fellow Daniel Ellsberg, Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire, and CODEPINK co-founder Medea Benjamin.

The letter states in part, ?Your nuclear arsenals give each of you the power to end civilization. You also have the historic opportunity, should you choose, to become the leaders of the most momentous international collaboration of all time, dedicated to ending the nuclear weapons era over the course of a decade or so. This great goal of Nuclear Zero can be achieved by negotiating, as a matter of priority, a treaty to ban and eliminate nuclear weapons.?

Click here<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=3P%2BPHtBmfsUMLdJO6G%2FpFBvOxUAveHuX> to add your name to the open letter.

We think that President Trump should do ?the right thing for the American people, and?for the world? ? to negotiate for the complete abolition of all nuclear weapons worldwide. Will you join us in this important effort?

Subject: Announcing: The Resistance Recess

 

Next week is the first congressional recess of Donald Trump?s presidency?and for many of us, it will be the first opportunity to speak directly with our members of Congress. 

Dear MoveOn member,

Next week is the first congressional recess of Donald Trump?s presidency?and for many of us, it will be the first opportunity to speak directly with our members of Congress.

That?s why MoveOn, Daily Kos, Indivisible, and other groups across the progressive movement are launching a huge effort called The Resistance Recess. Together, we will make sure that members of Congress and the media hear that Americans won't tolerate the Trump Republican agenda, including attacks on our health care. 

Here?s how it will work:

*	We will show up at our elected officials? events, town halls, and other public appearances to demand answers to the questions that we, their constituents, deserve to have answered?from whether our members of Congress will pledge to protect and improve our health care (instead of stripping it from millions of Americans) to how they will stop the unconstitutional actions of the White House.
*	We will make it clear to Republicans that the Trump administration?s dangerous policies are completely unacceptable?and that we won't let these attacks on health care, our communities, and our democracy occur unanswered. If Republicans put themselves on the wrong side of history, we will hold them accountable.
*	We will make it clear to Democrats that progressives demand full-on resistance to Trump's agenda. That means fighting for an immediate, independent investigation into Trump's ties to Russia, rejecting his Supreme Court nominee, working to overturn his racist and xenophobic attacks on immigrants, and using every available tool to block his toxic agenda that would bankrupt our nation and divide our communities for the benefit of billionaires and corporations. Although some Democrats are starting to stand up, we need all Democrats to catch up to the resistance in the streets and do their part in this unprecedented moment.
*	And if lawmakers refuse to hold public events for their constituents, we will hold our own. Some lawmakers are trying to wiggle out of holding town halls or other public appearances. When that happens, we will hold "constituent town halls" to highlight to the public and the media the lawmakers who won't even meet with their constituents.

We need you next week! But according to our records, there isn't a Resistance Recess meeting close to you yet. Can you post an event, so we can invite other constituents in your area? Here's how:

First, double-check to see if there's an event near you. (It's possible that event has just been added, or that we don't have your full address.) Click <https://www.resistancerecess.com/go/8331?t=1&akid=178271.636610.8lPthq>  here now to see if there's a local Resistance Recess event targeting your member of Congress.

If you don't see anything posted, call your representative's <http://act.moveon.org/go/4678?t=2&akid=178271.636610.8lPthq>  and/or senators' <https://act.moveon.org/go/7674?t=3&akid=178271.636610.8lPthq>  district and D.C. offices?and see if they are planning on holding a public town hall or office hours.

1.	If YES, they say that they are holding a town hall or office hours, submit <https://act.moveon.org/go/8332?t=4&akid=178271.636610.8lPthq>  the details here, and we will invite nearby MoveOn members who are constituents to join you there.
2.	If you discover that NO, your members of Congress are not hosting a town hall within a reasonable distance from you, you can host a constituent town hall?an event that constituents hold to have their voices heard and highlight their lawmakers' lack of a formal town hall. A constituent town hall is a great way to get media attention and highlight that your lawmaker is avoiding constituents during the congressional recess! Here's how to host one:

*	Find a location?like a library, event space, or even outside a member of Congress? district office?and pick a time and date.
*	Invite your member of Congress.
*	Click <https://act.moveon.org/go/8332?t=5&akid=178271.636610.8lPthq>  here to post your event on ResistanceRecess.com, and MoveOn and partner groups will invite fellow constituents.
*	Put together an agenda and let the media know.
*	Check out our materials <https://www.resistancerecess.com/survey/resistance-recess-host-materials/?t=6&akid=178271.636610.8lPthq>  page for all the guides and information you need to plan an event.
*	Have an awesome event!

Ready <https://www.resistancerecess.com/go/8350?t=7&akid=178271.636610.8lPthq>  to post a Resistance Recess event? Click here to post the details, and we'll recruit other constituents to join you!

Since the election, we've seen a beautiful and powerful surge of grassroots energy. Every week, we've seen rallies across the country pushing back on Trump's nominees and the Republican agenda, demanding that Democrats show spine, and defending frontline communities. 

We know that our efforts are working. Democrats have begun to stand up, working to block the members of Trump's #SwampCabinet. Republicans have started to abandon their own plans to take away health care from tens of millions of Americans. And now officials in both parties are recognizing the dangerous and potentially unconstitutional actions of Trump and his team with regards to national security.

But we need to keep the pressure on. Next week's recess is our biggest opportunity yet to make sure that Republicans who side with Trump are held accountable and that Democrats understand that using every single tool at their disposal to block Trump?s toxic agenda is not just justified, but absolutely necessary for our democracy?and our most cherished values?to survive the Trump era.

We <https://www.resistancerecess.com/go/8350?t=8&akid=178271.636610.8lPthq>  hope you'll host (or attend) a Resistance Recess event. Click here to get started. <https://www.resistancerecess.com/go/8331?t=9&akid=178271.636610.8lPthq>

The Trump administration is ignoring treaty rights and the legally required environmental review.

On the Dakota Access Pipeline and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe?s lawsuit. Why was the lawsuit brought? Who is the lawsuit against? Find out.










Dear Ann,

Late last week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wrongfully terminated its environmental review of the Dakota Access Pipeline. As a result, construction of the Lake Oahe bore is underway right now.

This is both illegal and morally reprehensible, and we have been challenging that decision in court. Today we filed our strongest arguments.<http://action.earthjustice.org/site/R?i=KMZ6X05nmQSZ5CwHhOUnog>





[Joe Brusky / Overpass Light Brigade (CC BY-NC 2.0)]<http://action.earthjustice.org/site/R?i=sbM_SyMiWN2xuajmGild4A>



The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, represented by Earthjustice, filed a major challenge to the Trump administration?s hasty approval of the controversial Dakota Access crude oil pipeline, a project in which the president and his associates have had close financial ties.

The Trump administration is circumventing the law, wholly disregarding the treaty rights of the Standing Rock Sioux and ignoring the legally required environmental review. It isn't the 1800s anymore?the U.S. government must keep its promises to the Standing Rock Sioux and reject rather than embrace dangerous projects that undercut treaties.

The lawsuit challenges the Corps? hasty and unexplained departure from its previous decision, and explains how the Corps ignored the Tribe?s treaty rights. It also explains how the Corps violated federal statutes requiring close environmental analysis of significant and controversial agency actions.

Construction is moving considerably faster than the pipeline company?s attorneys originally told the court, but we hope for a final decision to reinstate the environmental review before construction of the pipeline is completed.

On February 8, President Trump claimed that he had not received ?a single phone call? opposing this widely criticized pipeline. This was unsurprising, because President Trump?s comments line had been closed until today. Since Trump's statement, over 50,000 Earthjustice supporters have written to the president by email, Twitter and Facebook, joining millions of people raising their voices in opposition to this project.

The members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and their supporters deserve to have their voices heard and their health protected. We will fight as long as it takes to ensure that this happens.<http://action.earthjustice.org/site/R?i=p287cp6L-JiFXU7Cpre0_A>

[DAPL-WhiteHouse-004 copy]

Dear Ann,

The CEO of Wells Fargo bank recently said: "my number one priority is rebuilding trust." 1 But it's hard to trust a company that not only deceives its customers but publicly claims it's committed to addressing climate change and protecting human rights while backing the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). Actions speak louder than words.

Take action: Tell Wells Fargo to divest from the dangerous Dakota Access Pipeline:

  *   If you are a Wells Fargo customer, go here to send a customized letter.<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=483693dc31731cfc13bb0025b21f852d355c4e929e80bf128eea0c6eac89fb46db40d3858c77195b41c81544985078f7a23c4f06faaa311e>
  *   If you're not a Wells Fargo customer, go here to send a letter.<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=483693dc31731cfce9e2b7269557bf6539d85ae926951ef8dc9473d884d34e49f857acf8afdeab4dfaea59975fa5707dd57b7975901f3ef3>

Wells Fargo, the second biggest bank in America, is providing $120 million in direct project-level financing for the Dakota Access Pipeline.

DAPL tramples on the rights of Native Americans by eschewing their clearly stated concerns and putting corporate polluter's interests above Tribal treaty rights and access to clean water. The pipeline was originally proposed to cross the Missouri River just above Bismarck, ND, but after concerns from that community, it was rerouted to cross the river along sacred Tribal grounds, less than a mile from the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, where a spill would pose a serious threat to the Tribe's sole source of drinking water. The people of Bismarck were right to call for the pipeline to move, and so are the Standing Rock Sioux.

Tell Wells Fargo to stop financing the continued violation of the rights of Indigenous people:

  *   If you are a Wells Fargo customer, go here to send a customized letter.<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=483693dc31731cfca318630d26ab07ea1a141caea656e651963823405b699b059a9f540536a367ca07b004ba1a86d4008cc90aeabaa27b9e>
  *   If you're not a Wells Fargo customer, go here to send a letter<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=483693dc31731cfcebe250d3cf4671859b11b11c7c2aeb4651b17bbad30c07ec3dadaae43ec58921774213f5c93478fd17695c921bd42568>.

The Dakota Access Pipeline also serves as yet another example of our nation's long history of violence against Native Americans.  In response to peaceful protest and prayer, hundreds of Water Protectors at Standing Rock were injured when police fired rubber bullets, stinger grenades, sonic weapons, and water cannons in below freezing temperatures. The injuries to peaceful protesters were downright inhumane: Numerous people were knocked unconscious, a member of the International Indigenous Youth Council suffered a seizure because of a flash grenade, a young man had internal bleeding, a young woman nearly lost her arm, and countless people had to be treated for hypothermia, tear gas exposure, and blunt trauma. In fact, the injury count was so high, the local community of Cannonball turned their school gymnasium into an emergency response center.

It should be easy for Wells Fargo do the right thing, but a spokesperson for Wells Fargo recently said "our businesses will continue to support our customers on both sides of the issue -- in this particular case, the pipeline owners and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe." 2

Tell Wells Fargo that it's impossible to support both Standing Rock and the Dakota Access Pipeline -- it is time for them to choose the right side of history and divest:

  *   If you are a Wells Fargo customer, go here to send a customized letter.<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=483693dc31731cfc13bb0025b21f852d355c4e929e80bf128eea0c6eac89fb46db40d3858c77195b41c81544985078f7a23c4f06faaa311e>

We must get our legislators to oppose the dumping of waste into streams, the return of coal extraction on public lands and the overturn of climate rules that will cost us a lot of money to remediate.  The Corporations that extract coal, gas and minerals should be made to pay a premium price so that when spills, extreme weather damage etc occur, the Government has money to pay for emergency costs.

I signed a petition against this pipeline online, but cannot remember what org put up the link.  This is the dirty bitumen tar sands oil, which is really difficult to clean up and burns much dirtier than any other source of oil/gas. It is the type of oil that Richmond, Ca refineries are opposing due to the diseases it causes in residents near refineries.  Ann

Subject: [mendonodaplsolidarity] Fw: Pacific Connector Pipeline Overview




In a fight with some striking parallels to the Dakota Access pipeline struggle, a coalition of indigenous and non-indigenous activists in Southern Oregon and Northern California are campaigning to stop a 232-mile pipeline that would transport fracked natural gas from Wyoming/Colorado to a Coos Bay, OR terminal, where it would be cooled into a liquid form and exported on giant tanker ships to Asia.

The pipeline would pass under five major rivers, including the Klamath River, which of course is one of California's largest waterways and the home of this state's largest remaining wild Chinook salmon and Green sturgeon populations and several indigenous nations.  The terrain is rugged and mountainous, and people fear harmful leaks and spills.

PG&E is a former partner in the pipeline and terminal (known as the Jordan Cove terminal), although they divested from it a few years ago. However the Pacific Connector Pipeline would basically be an extension of a 680-mile pipeline that is the second biggest source of natural gas to Northern California power plants.  PG&E co-owns this pipeline, known as the Ruby Pipeline, which was completed in 2011 and brings fracked gas from Wyoming to Malin, OR (located on the CA border).

The Pacific Connector Pipeline would connect with the Ruby Pipeline at Malin, completing what I am fairly sure is the first-ever fossil fuel pipeline from the Rocky Mountains to the US Pacific Coast.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission denied the Houston- and Calgary-based companies trying to build the pipeline a permit in Dec. 2016, but they gained authorization to re-submit the permit on Feb. 15th, and with the Trump administration in power, it could be approved this time. Several groups in Southern Oregon and Northern California, including many indigenous people, are rallying against this.

Well, Trump is pushing through the Dakota Access Pipeline and having the Water Protectors at Standing Rock brutally arrested and taking out their camp.  A thousand veterans said they would go there and oppose this but I haven't heard how that went.  On the news today it was announced that the DAPL will be pumping dirty tar sands oil within a week.  The Water Defenders will need support.  Ann

Hello Folks,

Will, Burl, Hana, Margaret, Sandy, Michele and I circled up last night and pondered our futures...so to speak.  We are not scheduling any meetings in the near future for now.   TONIGHT there is a Standing Rock Benefit at the Mateel Community Center in Garberville. with Melvin Seals. from 4:20 today until 11pm.

We are committed to helping Hana with efforts to support the Bismarck Safe House.  On March 19, from 4-6pm  Atta will be in town and there will be a gathering at the Willits Center for the Arts where she will talk.

Hana has reserved the Little Lake Grange for May 13 for a county wide fund raising event.  People who would like to help with coordinating the event can contact Hana at 867-1717 or Hana H.D. <h2ol.v.95454 at gmail.com>  Cloud Forest will sponsor and provide Insurance.  We hope that Willits folks who produced the Feb 18 event will want to help with the May 13 event. We see the May 13 event as a networking opportunity for environmental groups.  We are committed to continuing fund raising for the Safe House and for legal support.

Even though Will and Burl are moving to Santa Cruz the first week in March...he will likely come up for the events.  Jen and Will intend to compile educational material about the ongoing legal support needed for water defenders that are incarcerated and facing federal charges. Funds we raise will go directly to one of the following:  Water Protector Legal Collective<https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/11B5z8>,  Lakota People?s Law Project<https://secure.everyaction.com/GKhPKap1OEisQft2qcms4Q2>, Red Warrior Defense Fund<https://www.gofundme.com/redwarriorcamp>, Red Fawn Legal Fund<https://www.generosity.com/fundraising/free-red-fawn>. or Earth Justice<https://secure.earthjustice.org/site/Donation2?df_id=10960&10960.donation=form1&_ga=1.246473796.136151625.1485366488>.

Katelin flew back to Bismarck yesterday.  She arrived amid the chaos of the plundering of the camps.  She had been asked to return to assess the need for ongoing Women's Health care at the camps.  When she reports in I will share her findings.

May we all move forward as activists with hearts full of peaceful, prayerful global solidarity in defense of sacred Mother Earth and her waters of life. Standing Rock crystalized a movement that is only just beginning.  With love and respect....we are all related.
Jen


Thanks to Darrell for this attached account of his experiences traveling to Standing Rock last November

Hi John ?

Your support as an ACLU donor is already making a tremendous difference?it's strengthening us as we respond to President Trump's unprecedented attacks on our basic freedoms. But we've heard that many supporters want to do even more, so I want tell you about something big and important you can do to fight back.

On March 11, we are holding a Resistance Training in Miami, Florida. This event will launch People Power, our effort to engage grassroots volunteers across the country. And what we want to do is organize thousands of grassroots events in communities across the country to watch the livestream as we organize ourselves to take the fight against Donald Trump's policies not just into the courts, but into the streets.

I want you to sign up today to organize an event in your community. Whether it's in your home, a local theater, a library, or anywhere else, we're gonna make this easy for you. We'll walk you through everything. You just need a screen, speakers, and wifi and we'll help with the rest. What do you say?

 <https://ms.clicks.actions.aclu.org/t/gckbaSY0oQBRBzHEN7EQYgaWHdDCCXiaaaaF-3aBMLA3A7aa?j=~@sAxDv&n=ZyXx%25u-S8f1U2ire4io.Syc&v=T&7=> YES! I will host an event for the ACLU's nationwide Resistance Training on March 11.

Or,

(Note: clicking these links will take you to our new website, peoplepower.org)

We are in the fight of our lives right now, and what we have learned since Donald Trump's inauguration is that there is a growing army of people out there who want to be asked to do something big and important in response. So that's what we're going to do.

Thank you for adding your name,

Sign the petition.  Tell Congress: If you don?t believe in publicly-funded health coverage, don?t accept it for yourself.<http://petitions.moveon.org/keystoneprogress/sign/congress-if-you-vote-1?source=c.em.cp&r_by=16704163>



The Republican-controlled House of Representatives and Senate have plans to cut Medicare and Medicaid and to repeal coverage for 20 million Americans who are covered by the Affordable Care Act. Even some Democrats are on record to make cuts to these vital public healthcare programs.

Essentially, Republicans in Congress are telling senior citizens and the poor that tax cuts for billionaires and millionaires are more important than providing a health care safety net for our most vulnerable.

But did you know that Members of Congress get great taxpayer funded healthcare? In fact, they get one of the best health care plans in the world.

It strikes us as the height of hypocrisy to be accepting government-provided, taxpayer-subsidized health insurance while denying seniors, the disabled and the poor the basic coverage that the ACA, Medicare and Medicaid provide.

That?s why we?re circulating this petition demanding that members of Congress who vote to cut the ACA, Medicare and Medicaid stop accepting taxpayer-subsidized health insurance for themselves.  If they believe our most vulnerable citizens should buy insurance on the corporate, for-profit market, shouldn?t they do the same?

Sign the petition.  Tell Congress: If you don?t believe in publicly-funded health coverage, don?t accept it for yourself.<http://petitions.moveon.org/keystoneprogress/sign/congress-if-you-vote-1?source=c.em.cp&r_by=16704163>

Let?s not trash the EPA. Reject Scott Pruitt as its new chief.

Members of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works<http://email.change.org/mpss/c/-QA/3CE/t.255/sIDZzWcbSi2ltCXab-79xA/h4/-2FOiS-2BjSwf94VblTc3c2elKyRn0Fea35PSGsJKCKmSPUQMIcEMalINZlMCySHRCML> recently boycotted the vote<http://email.change.org/mpss/c/-QA/3CE/t.255/sIDZzWcbSi2ltCXab-79xA/h5/ctsiw8lkKMn5trOQTb-2B-2BzI3xZJpIywYrT0G1vPuqI4uhbl0oItiBNFpuq2uMn2u-2B04u-2FVlf91CmZKweVvKevrg-3D-3D> for Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt?s nomination to lead the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

This comes as widespread, bipartisan concerns are being raised about Pruitt's record of challenging the core mission of the agency he?s been asked to lead. Many question Pruitt?s future commitment to protect public health, enforce the law, and hold corporations accountable to maintain healthy water, air, and land in their business practices.

Pruitt has sued the EPA on behalf of regulated industries more than a dozen times<http://email.change.org/mpss/c/-QA/3CE/t.255/sIDZzWcbSi2ltCXab-79xA/h6/pen93RB2s3QOT2Qju8NTsiqpxtexE-2BJBJyDSgpJOkFIHXeDZ-2Fc9gA-2FtXBYbmQlVhsnA0Ty-2F9Ui995SLI2wGh9K-2B5raGdE0ejDJP0whAC8fNa-2ButP68MibLiZYAQeirkO> in an attempt to weaken regulations such as the federal Clean Water Act. These regulations form the bedrock of our work at Heal the Bay and our sister organizations across the nation. They are hard-fought gains that were direct responses to past disasters. We cannot go back.

A silenced, weakened EPA is a threat to our Bays.

The U.S. Senate will vote on the appointment of Pruitt as EPA chief in the coming hours amid growing concerns about a broad directive from the new administration to censor EPA research, indefinitely.

As a trusted ocean and watershed advocate, Heal the Bay is guided by the best science, not emotion. Over the last 30 years, we have seen first-hand how the EPA and its partner organizations can improve public health for Angelenos through environmental policies and regulations. A weakened EPA means turning back the clock on our critical programs in Greater Los Angeles<http://email.change.org/mpss/c/-QA/3CE/t.255/sIDZzWcbSi2ltCXab-79xA/h7/-2F2S4qQ4EQfiS-2FBO0WcjYfiPZ39FMQNZ-2FeVoV-2BVUXrc2dbK6J01frmqGL7a0KgZM7> that monitor beach water quality, prevent unsafe consumption of locally caught fish, protect our dwindling wetlands, and keep our streams and watersheds healthy to buffer communities from climate change.

Scott Pruitt won?t do it.

Our vital work is far from over. Sea level rise poses a real and immediate threat to many U.S. cities that are unprepared to adapt to the impacts of climate change. We need strong EPA leadership and funding now more than ever. These issues affect us all.

Sign this petition urging the U.S. Senate to reject Pruitt?s nomination for EPA chief. Tell our elected officials to maintain strong EPA funding for programs that affect our Bays nationwide. Call your local senators directly<http://email.change.org/mpss/c/-QA/3CE/t.255/sIDZzWcbSi2ltCXab-79xA/h8/-2BAzEWQQ-2FLGKgQra97k3dKcv6XfILCQcbkIkQ-2Fu-2FxTXxz3x8LiVky2LyanYc35bpR> in the next 24 hours to make sure your voice is heard.

SWEEPING THE DIOXINS UNDER FORT BRAGG?S RUG

Editor,

I just spoke to Tom Lanphar of the State Department Toxic Substances
Control regarding the dioxin contaminated soil and sediment removal from
the mill site. This project will start in August and last at least 6
weeks with about 3000 cubic yards of soil dug up and removed by trucks
to Kettleman City toxic dump and soils with lesser levels of dioxin will
go to a toxic disposal site in Contra Costa County.

The mitigation measures DTSC will use to prevent dioxin and other
contaminants from leaving the site are flimsy and left to the contractor
Arkadis and their subcontractors to self-monitor whenever Tom (from
Berkeley office) is not present on the site. The contractors will SELF
MONITOR for wind speeds, wind gusts, cleaning (brushing and/or spraying)
of the trucks, covering of the trucks, dewatering of the wet sediment, etc.

The soils and sediments could have been left in place and capped off
which would have prevented any dioxin from leaving the area but DTSC and
Fort Bragg City wanted to remove the soils. This ?cleanup? would allow
for increased use of the land such as constructing condos, etc. If the
soils were left in place with caps to prevent the dioxin from leaving
the ground, these containment measures would have to be monitored long
term and the caps might have to be repaired so that there is no erosion.

So then DTSC and Fort Bragg City would be able to say after the project
that the site has been ?cleaned up? and leaving more ?flexibility? for
commercial development which would take place on the site without having
to say the site still contains dioxin. Of course, some levels of dioxin
and other contaminants would remain.

There are 5 areas where there are high levels of dioxin: ponds 7, 2 and
3 and the riparian area with wet sediment and also dry soil with the
highest levels of dioxin in the burned mill wastes area. After this
contaminated soil removal there will remain 10 acres of contaminated
soil with, maybe, lower levels of dioxin and other toxics.

The project is hampered by time (trucks have to leave by noon to get to
their destinations and 6 week duration). Contractors will be in a rush.
Variable winds and gusts will blow soil particles on and off site,
trucks will drip contaminated water and soil particles on the streets,
soil will leave the ?covered? trucks and be carried offsite. Soil
particles not removed from the outside and underside and tires of the
trucks will be carried and deposited offsite before the trucks get to
Kettleman City.

There is no recourse if dioxin escapes into the environment. The
contractors won't tell on themselves and there may be a lag time between
dioxin blowing and landing in the environment and adverse health effects
of the people in Fort Bragg, on the way to the toxic dump, and near the
site of Kettleman City where nearby residents complain about illnesses
caused by toxics carried and buried there.

The mitigation measures such as top wind speeds and cleaning of trucks
are left vague and there is no assurance or responsibility or
accountability to make sure there is no offsite contamination. If there
is offsite contamination, so what? Nothing will happen except adverse
health effects to the population which may take time to become known.
The Fort Bragg population has already been contaminated with dioxin from
the years of burning the mill wastes.

Sincerely, Susan Miller

Fort Bragg

Subject: Sign the petition: Bannon off the National Security Council

Unvetted and unconfirmed.

Dear Ann,

Stephen Bannon, the white nationalist who has become one of Donald Trump?s top advisors, has effectively appointed himself to the National Security Council (NSC), the country?s highest national security body.(1)

Even military and national security experts find this alarming.(2) Bannon has no national security experience, but he does have an extreme ideological agenda -- and national security should be driven by facts, not ideology or politics.

It?s becoming clear: Donald Trump may be the President of the United States, but Bannon is really running the show at the White House. Bannon?s power grab is unprecedented, dangerous, and must be stopped.

There?s bipartisan concern over Bannon?s self-appointment to the National Security Council, and, in an effort to block it, two bills have been introduced to give Congress the power to approve National Security Council appointees. There?s real momentum -- now is the time to rein in Bannon before he puts the safety and integrity of the American people at further risk.

Tell Congress to stop Steve Bannon?s appointment to the National Security Council!<http://act.couragecampaign.org/sign/bannon_nsc/?source=org_em_p_bannon_nsc&t=1&akid=3859.596066.Zt5LXU>

The executive order elevating Bannon -- a political hack with no national security experience -- to the National Security Council also downgrades the roles traditionally played by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the nation?s top military body, and the director of national intelligence.

This is a big deal. These roles have been so prominent on the NSC because their judgments are based on facts, not calculations of political or electoral gain. But for Bannon, every move he makes is based on pushing forward his agenda.

And that?s scary, because Bannon?s agenda has historically involved elevating the voices of white supremacist and nationalist movements in the United States and abroad.(3) His publications have trashed women, people of color, and LGBTQ folks.(4) And a close examination of his beliefs indicates a cartoonishly bleak view of the world steeped in wild conspiracy theories -- including a morbid obsession with the idea that World War III is about to happen.(5) Bannon shouldn?t have the power to help start it.

Tell Congress to stop Steve Bannon?s appointment to the National Security Council!<http://act.couragecampaign.org/sign/bannon_nsc/?source=org_em_p_bannon_nsc&t=2&akid=3859.596066.Zt5LXU>

To make matters worse, news reports indicate that when Trump signed the executive order changing the structure of the National Security Council to include Bannon, he didn?t even realize what he was signing.(6)

It?s no wonder that both Democrats and Republicans in Congress have expressed deep concerns about Bannon?s appointment. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates called it a ?big mistake,? Senator John McCain called it a ?radical departure,? and retired Admiral Michael Mullen -- who served on the NSC under Presidents Bush and Obama -- is calling for Bannon?s removal from the council altogether.(7)

Two separate bills have been introduced that would bring appointments to the National Security Council under Congressional oversight. In the current climate -- with the last National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn, resigning under a cloud of suspicion and lingering questions about Trump?s aides? relationship with the Russian government -- there?s a real chance for bipartisan agreement about reining in Bannon?s power grab.

Tell Congress to stop Steve Bannon?s appointment to the National Security Council!<http://act.couragecampaign.org/sign/bannon_nsc/?source=org_em_p_bannon_nsc&t=3&akid=3859.596066.Zt5LXU>

Yours in the fight,

William, along with Annie, Brenna, Caitlin, Eddie, Emma, Kelsey, Lindsay, Raquel, Scottie, and Tim (the Courage team)

This is so good! Alan Simpson has always been so self-righteous!

Alan Simpson, the senator from Wyoming, calls senior citizens 'the Greediest Generation' as he compared Social Security to a milk cow with 310 million teats.


Here's a response in a letter from PATTY MYERS in Montana . I think she is a little ticked off but she also tells it like it is!

"Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight!!!!!


1.    As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for

FIFTY YEARS.

2.    I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old.  (I am now 63).

3.    My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest-bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff proud.

4.    Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and "your ilk" pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age,67.  NOW, you and your "shill commission" are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN!

5.    I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now "you morons" propose to change the rules of the game. Why?  Because "you idiots" mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal our money from Medicare to pay the bills.

6.    I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you "incompetent bastards" spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money.  Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt. To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" to you incompetence.

Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU:

1.    How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?

2.    At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?

3.    How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4.    What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones.  It is you and your fellow nutcase thieves who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes and your job and retirement security at our expense, you lunk-headed leech.

That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers.  You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it. And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.

NO, I did not stutter!

P.S. And stop calling Social Security benefits "entitlements."  WHAT AN INSULT!!  I have been paying in to the SS system for 52 years!  "It's my money" - give it back to me the way the system was originally designed and stop patting yourself on the back like you are being generous by doling out these monthly checks!

EVERYONE!!!  If you like the way things are in America delete this.  If you agree with what Patty Myers says, please PASS IT ON!!!!

Dear Occupy,
     There is hope.   Bernie's former chief of staff, Nick Barna, is
bringing together Bernie people to form a new political party that will win
in 2020 with Bernie as the presidential candidate.  Bernie is the most
popular politician in the US right now, and his party will win the election
in 2020.
      Please sign the draft Bernie petition at draftbernie.org.   When
enough people say they want Bernie, Nick is sure Bernie will run--and win.
But we need to show our support now.  There are several Bernie petitions on
line now;  therefore, please go to draftbernie.org, sign up and volunteer!
          Peace,
            Ellen Rosser

There is a petition is this to oppose three sites the government wants to place cell towers in Redwood Forests, not for citizens to get cellphone reception but to put spy communications for State, local police and Federal agencies.  They require areas of the Forests to be clearcut perpetually, even where sensitive wildlife and Native Sacred sites are now.

Hi Ann-

Redwood National Park was established to protect magnificent Redwood Forests and is obligated by law to regulate use of the parks in such a manner as to leave them in an unimpaired condition. A proposed communications tower and adjacent perpetual clearcut would result in long-term negative impacts to park resources.

[http://org2.salsalabs.com/o/5349/images/rodgers-peak-image-300x225(1).jpg]Action Alert: Stop Clearcuts and Communications Towers in and Around Redwood National Park<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=CT0nHRhNTvkESKfmRdDKg75oeb5q%2F7Be>

Take Action:<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=zRkfM7JCe7D%2BMWNVyU93Mr5oeb5q%2F7Be>  We are not kidding you: someone thinks it?s a good idea to put a massive communications tower, with an adjacent clearcut in Redwood National Park. In total, three communication towers, with a height range of 120 to 270 feet and with adjacent clearcuts that must be perpetually maintained for the sake of the towers, are proposed for Rodgers Peak (in Redwood National Park), Alder Camp (a state-owned prison facility), and on Rattlesnake Peak (privately owned by Green Diamond). The towers would provide radio coverage for federal, state and local agencies but would not provide any cell phone reception for the nearby communities.

The Women?s March made an impression on everyone, but not without some important critiques. The success of the march set the precedent for the Science March, Peoples Climate March, and any other future collective efforts. However, one important question lingered as the crowds dissipated: was the mainstream feminist movement finally ready to treat the perspectives and experiences of all self-identifying females, of differing races, sexes, and classes with the same gravity of those as their counterparts?and what does this mean for environmentalist movements whom have been historically female driven?

EPIC?s California Forest and Wildlife Advocate made the trip down to the Central Valley to be present in the halls of Sacramento politics and decision-making last week, to represent the voice of Northwest California?s forests. On Thursday, February 16, Rob spent the day at the California Environmental Protection Agency building in downtown Sacramento, attending a meeting of the California Air Resources Board, and an inter-agency workshop on the Draft California Forest Carbon Plan.
