he bogus Food Safety Modernization Act needs to be stopped today, Tues, please call on S.510 - House Could Vote Tonite: We've all heard that passing legislation is like making sausage, but the safety of our food and the future of small, local and organic food producers is too important to be left to a last-minute process that could give powerful lobbyists the opportunity to perform 12th hour sleights of hand.

Beware the Food Safety Modernization Bill in the Senate, please act for the protection of our small farms! S 510,as written,might do real harm to the small farmers who are not part of this massive tainted food problem! BEWARE!You know Corporations never waste a good crisis to increase their own power and profit!S510 favors foreign farms and producers over domestic.It creates incentives for retailers to import more food from other countries,by burdening domestic producers with requirements that will not be equally enforced abroad.

Urgent - SB 510 Will Allow Government to Put You in Jail for Growing,Sharing, Trading and Sharing Homegrown Food The greatest danger to mankind is that this bill allows complete manipulation of America's food supply and threatens to strip us of our freedoms to grow, sell, and buy food and make doing any of those natural things crimes punishable by imprisonment. It would be a crime to grow food and share it with my friends and neighbors.The act of generating and supporting this bill is in itself criminal to our Constitution.

The US and UK have a secret deal that undercuts the Copenhagen negotiations! Call the White House and ask that the Danish secret agreement be trashed in favor of an agreement drafted in Copenhagen, in an open honest process with all of the countries, together. The US should stop playing games with the negotiation process! Also no control of the remittances from the developed countries by the World Bank, the IMF or the Global Environment Facility . We can not trust these agencies.

Stand Against This Surge In Afghanistan, WE CAN NOT AFFORD WAR NO MORE! "Change We Can Believe In!" has morphed into "No Change At All!" Obama has become OBush! We can not wait any longer to "see" what Obama is going to do, he is going to escalate the status quo! We have to make a stand for America against the sucking of all of our money out of our pockets into the hands of the War Profiteers! War is a SCAM!

Single Payer Health Care, here in ILLINOIS, if we fight for it on Tues, March 24th! We have a Golden opportunity at this time to push this issue here in Illinois. Single Payer Health Care should be ours and could be ours, if we are willing to work hard for it! I know we deserve to just get it from our politicians, willingly, but reality dictates that we will have to take it by political will! So next week is our moment....

Our fragile dream, the rally last night and a plea to grow the Election Protection movement We have a long way to go to really secure the elections.They have an analysis talking about how there is evidence that there was significant election fraud in a couple of states, the turnout just overwhelmed the efforts of whomever tried to steal the votes.I consider this election a potential disaster that was averted by the overwhelming voter turnout and the Election Protection efforts.Next time,if it is closer,it might not

Regarding Election Reform and What YOU Can Do I would recommend meeting and writing to all your Reps and Sens and telling them exactly what you want,forget about the various rewrites and political shenanigans,just tell them what you want to see happen here!!!I for one want Paper Ballots and Hand Counts for all Federal Elections, it is NOT too much hassle and there is too much money and power involved at the Federal level to vote or count any other way, period end of sto

HR 550 vs HR 6200 So Kucinich has put in a bill HR 6200 calling for Paper Ballots and Hand Counts across America for the Presidential race of 2008! This is the bill that I recommend! We are going to have to convince the rest of America that we can conduct a citizens run election and so please do not make calls for HR 550 but call instead for HR 6200 and let's get America headed back towards real Democracy!!!
