The Trans-Pacific Pact (TPP) is a disastrous pact between a handful of nations that is including obscene protections for international corporations to get away with anything they want. With this agreement, governments, non-profit or any entity that complains or works to resist any actions that a corporation does in nations in does business in, could be legally sued for millions and billions of dollars.

Meteorologists and government officials have mentioned that the U.S. military is spraying the skies of California with dangerous chemicals. These chemical trails need to stop ASAP before catastrophic damage has been done to animal, plant and human life.

Although there has been legislation enacted in Ulster County against hydraulic fracturing, the Bill leaves gaps. Many towns in Ulster County have or are in the process of putting local legislation in place to prevent hydraulic fracturing from being done and the use of by-products of fracturing to be used on our town roads as de-icer. The Town of Lloyd has so far not been amenable to going forward with this needed local legislation.

The oil and gas industry is trying to push through large-scale infrastructure projects that could speed the rate of fracking in nearby states and industrialize scenic rural communities. Right now, there are two projects being proposed for underground salt caverns on the shores of Seneca Lake, in western New York. The projects, both proposed by subsidiaries of Kansas City-based Inergy, would involve large-scale storage facilities with new capacity for 88 million gallons of liquid petroleum gas and additional capacity for natural gas, expanding storage to 2 billion cubic feet. Inergy has reported to shareholders that it plans to expand the proposed facility into a major petroleum storage hub. Inergy’s subsidiary wants to fast-track federal approval of its project and bypass a critical federal environmental review. Not only would this project threaten to trample out the region’s local, sustainable economy, it could hasten the pace of gas development in nearby states. Tell Governor Cuomo to publicly oppose these projects today.

Stop the destruction of our state by the gas/oil industry. They have destroyed pristine areas, polluted the air and water, and people have numerous health problems living near drilling sites. GO CLEAN power - GEOTHERMAL - The Rocky Mt. Region is a prime area to create geothermal power plants - no air pollution, water contamination, and is renewable.

All over the United States, concerned citizens are witnessing alarming increased use of chem trails and artificial tampering with our atmosphere, affecting all of us, everywhere. Our country's citizens all have a right to clean air and these programs are irresponsible, unethical and illegal, with potential to greatly harm our populations! Our soils, lakes and rivers, forests and eco-systems, are endangered and already threatened by adverse pollution, contamination from modern business and industry, and the loss of our protective Ozone layer, globally. This is a national issue affecting the public health and our collective futures, and we call for a complete and immediate BAN, on all programs and investigations into the companies who are advocating it, as unconstitutional, for violating our basic human and civil rights, to clean air, and violating our environmental laws and ethics, that preserve and protect citizens and our environment, from abuse and potential harm. Our peoples rights and health to clean air and protecting our environment, lands, waters and forests should be our top priority, and these programs should be banned now and declared unconstitutional.

A bill introduced by Representative Tom McClintock (R-CA) would remove long-standing Wild & Scenic River protections from a section of the Merced River and allow the Merced Irrigation District to raise a dam. If passed, this bill would mark the first time in the 50-year history of the Wild and Scenic Rivers System that a river was stripped of protection in order to raise or build a dam This could flood almost a mile of one of California's last, best, free-flowing rivers for a pittance of water [~1% increase].

Senator Barbara Boxer sits on a key Nuclear Regulatory Commission oversight committee. Please urge Senator Boxer to use her oversight authority to ensure that the San Onofre nuclear reactors remain offline until the Nuclear Regulatory Commission completes its investigations. Since January 2012 the San Onofre nuclear reactors have been shutdown. Inspections revealed severe damage to thousands of steam generator tubes -- and now a recently exposed confidential report reveals that the operator, Southern California Edison, knew about significant design problems years before they were installed. Despite this now public revelation, Edison still wants to restart one of the reactors! This report exposes how Edison gambled with the public trust. Tell Barbara Boxer that San Onofre's crippled reactors must remain offline and Edison must be required to go through a License Amendment process with full public participation.

The Canadian Tar Sands are the dirtiest of dirty sources of oil -- and will cost a minimimum of $85/barrel to develope-pipe-and refine. The energy used to make fuel from Tar Sand will be almost as useless a biomass, and corn ethanol. We cannot allow greed and politics to pretent this is good for the economy or the environment. Never mind the pure arrogance of the ongoing construction of the pipeline without formal authorization or technology to refine the mess. Mr. President , please do not approve the Keystone Pipeline

Although there are a few bike paths, I think additional bike paths are necessary to accommodate the growing number of bikers on Oahu. As a pedestrian, I do not feel safe when bikes past by me on sidewalks. As a driver, I do not want to share the road with bikes. As a biker, I want a safe area outdoors where I do not interfere with pedestrians and cars while getting to my destination. If government has the funding for rail, then there should be funding for paint to add bike paths next to roads that connect the entire island. Not only would bikers benefit from safety, my proposal is indeed an environmental friendly option that would decrease traffic congestion as well as lower obesity. I am certain that more people would start biking when safety is accounted for and the image of Oahu would improve due to the popularity of biking everywhere.

These measures will put a stop to the destructive, environmental catastrophe waiting to happen if GMO crops are grown in the pristine Willamette Valley. GMO's will endanger a rapidly expanding organic food industry, 4th in the nation for sales [120+ million] and #5 in overall acreage. It will affect the Oregon wine industry as well. The Law of Unintended Consequences directly applies to allowing GMO's to be grown in Oregon. The large, negative economic impact will hurt the state, farming communities, and families.
