Joe Lieberman can only hold reform hostage if we let him



Tell President Obama and Congress not to let Joe Lieberman gut health care reform. We're counting on them to fight for real reform. Call Congress at (202) 224-3121 and the White House at (202) 456-1111, then pass this video on.

Summit to turn around global warming at crossroad; only massive public pressure can save it.
Dec 17, 2009

Dear Friends,




Copenhagen's last-ditch summit to stop catastrophic global warming isfailing; only massive public pressure can save it. Sign the giant petition below - it may be the largest in history: 

Sign The Petition!

With three days to go, the crucial Copenhagen summit is failing.   

Tomorrow, the world's leaders arrive for an unprecedented 60 hours of direct negotiations. Experts agree that without a tidal wave of public pressure for a deal, the summit will not stop catastrophic global warming of 2 degrees.   

Click below to sign the petition for a real deal in Copenhagen -- the campaign already has a staggering 10 million supporters - let's make it the largest petition in history in the next 72 hours!Every single name is actually being read out at the summit -- sign on at the link below and forward this email to everyone! 

http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_copenhagen_now 

An Avaaz team is meeting daily with negotiators inside the summit who will organize a spectacular petition delivery to world leaders as they arrive, building a giant wall of boxes of names and reading out the names of every person who signs. With the largest petition in history, leaders will have no doubt that the whole world is watching.    


      “We marched in Berlin, and the wall fell.
 We marched for South Africa, and apartheid fell.
          We marched at Copenhagen --
          and we WILL get a Real Deal”  


Copenhagen is seeking the biggest mandate in history to stop the greatest threat humanity has ever faced. 
History will be made in the next few days. 

How will our children remember this moment? 
        Let's tell them we did all we could

---------------------------

Please visualize all leaders working in harmony and agreement, with love and compassion for sustaining life and many generations into the future on the whole planet.. 

Repeat at least twice daily. This is the inner work that is needed.. The outer work is signing petitions, calling friends, politicians, etc..

Petition for bold action on climate and clean energy solutions.
Dec 9, 2009
 

Dear Eric,

A truly historic moment has arrived. The United Nations Climate Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark began this week, and the eyes of the world are on the United States, gauging our commitment to a global solution to the greatest challenge facing our planet. 

Leaders from across the world, including President Obama, will come together to forge an agreement that will guide international action to reduce greenhouse gas pollution and lay the foundation for a new and prosperous 21st century clean energy economy.

In advance of his trip to Copenhagen, President Obama has already made a commitment to take on the climate crisis here in the U.S. -- now we have to show that the American people are ready to lead too.

Show the world that the American people want bold action on climate and clean energy solutions. Share your message of support on The Wall now.

The United States has a crucial role to play in any international efforts related to the climate crisis -- including the dialogue that continues in Copenhagen this week.

Our principles and our economic strength have traditionally made us a leader in the world community -- but we are also one of the largest emitters of global warming pollution. For these reasons, the rest of the world expects we will also play a leadership role in developing a climate agreement. Given the urgency of the challenge that is before us, the U.S. can't wait any longer.  

Solving the climate crisis begins with action and commitment, right here at home. The best way we can prove our leadership and demonstrate that we are ready to take meaningful action is by passing comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation in Congress. 

That legislation has passed the House of Representatives and is now in the Senate. We're not done yet, but we are closer than ever before -- and we are going to keep up the pressure to pass a bill until our leaders have done it. 

This is an opportunity for America to regain the mantle of global leadership. We need to tell the world that the American people are ready for bold action on climate change.

The world is watching. Post your message on The Wall today:

http://www.repoweramerica.org/wallform/

Thanks for helping to demonstrate American leadership on the climate crisis as we work toward a crucial international agreement at Copenhagen.

Demand a Public Healthcare Option with No Trigger!
Dec 7, 2009
Focus: Health
Action Request: Petition
Location: United States
Care2 Action Alert

Hi Road, 

Yesterday, Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) said that a "trigger" method of the public option has not been abandoned. A trigger will not provide the health coverage Americans need. Instead, it would only promise a vague public policy that would kick in at a certain point -- without a concrete plan. 

Urge Senator Ensign and Senator Reid to abandon the trigger >> 

Although triggers have been written into several laws, they have nearly always failed. A similar bill with a similar trigger option -- the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act from 1996 -- has reached the threshold where a trigger should kick in -- but neither the states nor the federal governments have implemented reforms. Don't do the same to the public option this year >>

A public option without a trigger is the only way we can rein in spiraling health care costs and give Americans the coverage they need. Even if you've sent a letter to your senators before, please sign again -- the more letters we can get into their offices the better during the bill's debate. 

Senator Ensign and Senator Reid are voting this weekend on amendments to the health care bill. We must get the trigger method out of the Senate debate immediately so our senators can move on to the critical matter of getting a strong bill to the president's desk before the holiday recess. 

Tell your senators: Don't compromise on the public option! >>

 

From Care2Thank you,
LiAnna

The High Price Of Cheap Coal; Our Children Will Pay The Price
Dec 6, 2009
Earthjustice EventsWaste Deep in Coal AshRSVP!View of the ash spill left over from the TVA Kingston Fossil Plant retention pond failure near Harriman, Tennessee (Credit: Brian Stansberry).

"Wondering what is coal ash? Interested in what is being done about the threat coal ash poses to our drinking water supplies?RSVP to our online chat today!

Coal ash is the leftover waste from coal-fired power plants. Over 129 million tons are created each year, enough for coal ash to flow over Niagara Falls for three days straight! Coal ash contains arsenic, mercury, chromium and a slurry of other highly toxic pollutants. It is often dumped into huge ponds or unlined landfills and there are nearly 600 of these sites located in 35 states. But despite the obvious threat to public health and the environment, the Environmental Protection Agency has not set strong rules for the disposal of coal ash and ensure this health threat stays out of our drinking water supplies.

To find out what Earthjustice is doing about this problem, join Earthjustice Campaign Director Jared Saylor in an online chat and he'll answer your questions.

EVENT DETAILS Event:Waste Deep in Coal AshDate:Thursday, December 10th, 2009Time:11:00 am PT / 2:00 pm ETLocation:Your computerRSVP:Click to RSVP!"

-------------------

My comment;

Coal is one of our cheap forms of energy, making up a huge portion of electricity generation.

When you turn on your lights, chances are, coal is making it happen, unless you CHOOSE

to sign up for GREEN, pollution free power. Every person using power is generating this waste, 

both in the air, in the water, oceans, rivers and lakes, as well as soil. Coal toxins including 

mercury poison all life on the planet, making it more acid and poisonous day by day...

We are slowly strangling all life on the planet in order to keep power on in our homes and factories.

That is a fact... Now, what is each of us WILLING to do to change this fact?

"Serious side effects are now being reported around the world, from anaphylactic shock, to sudden blood pressure plunge, to death -- causing a sense of panic in those who got the shot... even while millions of others refuse it due to safety concerns..."



In an earlier post, I linked to a website that is collecting many stories of pregnant women who where losing their babies right after getting the vaccine injection, or within a few days... 

Who is collecting this data? Is anyone paying attention?
