US Politics & Gov't  (tags: FDA, supplements, ANH-USA )

Ellyn
- 7 hours ago - anh-usa.org
This is a tremendously important development. It was ANH-USA's work with the committee that got them to compel a second draft of the guidance, and it was our lobbyists who helped include the important language in this new report.

Freya
- 7 hours ago - action.momsrising.org
Right now, Congress is about to vote on a proposal to make big cuts to SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - also known as food stamps). Nearly two million people--many of whom are children--would be bumped out of the program.

US Politics & Gov't  (tags: Ed Snowden, world, politics, usa, russia, NSA, domestic secrets, surveillance programs, whistleblowing, conflict, ethics, 'HUMANRIGHTS!', humanrights, Ed Snowden, obama, news, government, ethics )

Cal
- 11 hours ago - secure.avaaz.org
If millions of us stand with Edward in the next 48 hours, it will send a powerful statement that he should be treated like the brave whistleblower that he is, and it should be PRISM, and not Edward, that the US cracks down on.

US Politics & Gov't  (tags: farm workers, health, family, nutrition, prevention, food, business, ethics, government )

Nancy
- 13 hours ago - action.ufw.org
The bill would not allow U.S. farmworkers who feed us every day to earn green cards or the opportunity for citizenship over time. It does not fix our broken immigration system; it would make it far worse.

Biblically Predicted Tyranny and Edward Snowden
US Politics & Gov't  (tags: corruption, crime, cheney, lies, propaganda )

Bill
- 16 hours ago - examiner.com
Listening to the NSA hearing is a little bit like watching Al Capone explain why what people accused him of cannot be true because the law is very strict and does not allow anyone to legally do what people accused him of. So far from what I have seen

US Politics & Gov't  (tags: family, food, children, hunger, prevention, nutrition, government )

Nancy

Nancy
- 18 hours ago - petitions.moveon.org
A nationwide ban on abortion after 20 weeks is under debate in Congress, even though an appeals court has only recently called one such ban "blatantly unconstitutional." These pointless theatrics waste time and do nothing to protect women's health.
