We're starting this campaign so the priceless value of Cooper Lake and our Woodstock watershed will never be forgotten.

Beer, which is easily the nation’s most popular adult beverage, is made up of more than 90% water, and water is the only ingredient that can truly be called local in most beers. Every brewery depends on the local water supply — be it river, reservoir or groundwater — to craft their brews. Loopholes have been carved into the Clean Water Act that leave more than half our nation’s streams and the drinking water of 117 million Americans at risk to pollution. Thankfully, the Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers have proposed a rule to restore these protections to our streams and drinking water, which has broad public support. Year after year, polls show that more Americans are concerned with water quality than any other environmental issue, and 87% of the million public comments on the clean water rule were in support of restoring these protections. Yet big polluters and their friends in Congress are doing all they can to block the clean water rule. Understanding that great beer takes great water, many of the nation’s breweries have come out in support of the clean water rule(1). Noticeably absent from those supporting the rulemaking is the nation’s largest beer company, Anheuser-Busch. On its website, the company claims, “Water is a key ingredient in the brewing of all our beers and vital to life on the planet.” That’s exactly why everyone – including Anheuser-Busch – needs the clean water rule. You can’t make good beer with bad water, and Anheuser-Busch — which operates a dozen breweries in the United States — relies heavily on clean water to make its popular products. Please tell Anheuser-Busch to make a clear and public statement in support of the clean water rule. 1.

I want to support the heroic efforts of Cape Wind's President Jim Gordon to combat runaway Climate Change. This project has been delayed for 14 years by huge amounts of fossil fuel money and 26 frivolous lawsuits trying to run out the clock. National Grid must honor its commitment so this can move forward.

For 10 years New Jersey has been fighting, trying to get Exxon Mobil to pay $8.9 Billion in damages for polluted land. The Christie administration agreed to a proposed settlement that would allow Exxon Mobil to pay just $225 million, less than 3% of the $8.9 billion in pollution damages the state spent a decade suing to recover. The affected area is literally right in Linden's backyard. As Mayor of the great city of Linden, I believe the residents need some rational explanation for the monetary settlement and specifics on how the contamination will be cleaned considering the loss of use, for years and years, they have endured to protected wetlands, marshes, meadows and waters in the city.

The Marines and their Families that were poisoned by Contaminated Drinking Water... Poisoned and Sick and dying. Chemicals that are Human Carcinogens. Clean that Base up!!!

Solar power is a more efficient energy source and it will create many jobs over the long-term. Currently, 12,000 jobs are supported with what Solar Power we have now, imagine the opportunities if we can expand this to 20% of MA!

SAVING OUR WOLVES

Many of us are realizing that the trails we are seeing in our skies coming from planes and jets are not contrails, but actually Geoengineered chemtrails. This is also called Aerosol spraying. Normal Contrails dissipate almost immediately behind planes and jets. Chemtrails last for several hours and eventually spread out across the sky blocking the sun's rays and changing our weather. Studies are now showing these chemtrails, or aerosol sprays, are destroying our health and killing trees, plants, bees and contaminating our soils and water. Tests from qualified studies have shown that the trails contain nano-particulates also containing a variety of sulfates and other molecular structures including aluminum, barium, and strontium. They are toxic to the human and animal body as well as the environment. Due to the size of these particles there is no barrier to the absorption and infusion of these particulates into our bodies, soils, water, and pets. Long term exposure to these particulates are very dangerous to our health with serious consequences to all life. In fact many studies show that in the last few years Autism, Alzheimer's, Dementia, and other neurological diseases are up more than 10,000 percent. There is documented scientific data and research to back this up. For those of you aware of the issues surrounding GMO's, Monsanto has created an aluminum resistant seed based on these geoengineering programs of dispersal that is now in place. For more info: http://www.soblueskies.com/999265038-article-library.html. Many suggest the chemtrails and the side effects of the remnants within the atmosphere have contributed to the state-wide drought of California and the declining health of individuals throughout the nation. People are standing up for their rights for health again, and it's time the government realize the responsibility it has to the people to protect our rights to breathe unpoisoned air, drink untainted water, and have unpolluted crops. Stop poisoning us with Geoengineered chemtrails and aerosol spraying.

Current funding of $25 million/year has not been increased since 1998. Coastal protection programs must include back bays, barrier islands and the inland waterways that are sources of flooding for coastal and urban communities. Shore Protection Fund's beach protection programs are an investment in our State’s $20+ billion shore tourism economy. Urge your legislators to support this much-needed increase in the Shore Protection Fund.

With more than 200 sunny days a year, Idaho is enjoying a boom in solar energy development. This is great news, since solar is quicker, cleaner, and cheaper than building another dam or dirty coal-fired plant. Idaho Power Company is currently experiencing record profits at the expense of its ratepayers' environmental and public health. To maintain its antiquated business model, the company is trying to prevent clean energy development by limiting 20-year contracts to two years. Anything less than a long-term contract makes it nearly impossible for renewable energy businesses to secure financing. Investing in clean energy benefits Idaho's economy, protects Idaho's air and water, limits carbon emissions, and preserves a clean future.

Right now, we’re at a critical moment in the fight to save bees -- and we need your help! In just a few weeks, the Obama administration will likely announce a plan to protect bees. This is our best chance for nationwide action to protect these crucial pollinators -- and our food system that depends on them. But in order to truly help bees, the plan must address toxic pesticides made by chemical companies like Bayer and Syngenta. Almost 4 million Americans have already signed petitions urging President Obama to protect bees from these pesticides. But we need you to keep up the pressure on him to put the bees and our food system ahead of Big Ag’s profits. Sign the petition now! Urge President Obama to ban bee-killing pesticides!

The USDA approved Monsanto’s new genetically engineered cotton and soybeans that are resistant to dicamba, an herbicide that has been known to cause reproductive and developmental harm. Herbicides like this are poisoning our soil and water and pose a threat to the health of our families, environment, and wildlife. We need less toxic herbicides and pesticides in our food system, not more. But now that these herbicide-resistant seeds have been approved, more toxic chemicals on the food we eat every day could be imminent. We need to push back and tell the USDA that their approval of these seeds is unacceptable.
