Monsanto has been spending billions of dollars to keep consumers in the dark about Genetically Modified Foods. Many of these harmful and toxic foods are already making it on to your dinner table, without your knowledge. If you care about the ingredients that you and your family are eating, please sign this petition. Thank you.

No computerized voting. it is too easy to corupt the vote.

All Hoosiers will see higher heating bills if Leucadia Corp. out of New York builds its coal gasification plant in southern Indiana. It converts coal to synthesized gas for heating homes and businesses. The gas will cost more than natural gas and result in higher heating bills. The Indiana legislature passed a series of laws to force ratepayers to cover all costs for Leucadia. Mike Pence, candidate for governor, should support legislation to repeal those laws and force Leucadia to compete with the free market.

The Foothill Trabuco Specific Plan (FTSP) requires development in Trabuco Canyon to be rural in character and protect the area's ancient oak forests, scenic ridgelines, and other cherished natural resources. But Rutter Development Corporation refuses to follow the FTSP and instead proposes gutting it, along with the Orange County General Plan, to allow construction of its 65-unit suburban sprawl "Saddle Crest" housing tract along Santiago Canyon Road north of Cook's Corner. Rutter's amendments would allow him to congest 2-lane Santiago Canyon Road, cut down over 150 mature oak trees, bulldoze ridgetops, and fill up canyons over 70 feet deep, and any developer coming after him to do the same. We are asking Orange County supervisors to say "NO" to Saddle Crest and Rutter's plan gutting amendments when they vote on October 2.

I have personally been devastated by this issue. Toxic chemicals in new carpeting caused me permanent heart damage, excruciating fibromyalgia, central nervous system damage, neurological damage, and the list goes on and on. We need for Senator Harry Reid to bring this act to the floor of the Senate, said act introduced by Senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey. Cancer rates, asthma rates, you name it, chemicals are adversely effecting our air, water, land, homes, workplaces and contributes greatly each year to our ridiculous health care costs. Please contact your congressmen and senators to urge the passage of the Safe Chemicals Act.

Hi everyone who wants to preserve the trees and wilderness in Glen Canyon: Rec & Park is planning to remove the first 60 to 70 trees soon and has already posted 30 day notices, so the clock is ticking, with tree removal to begin after October 15th. This is just the start of the Rec & Park tree removal projects that will likely cut 300 to 400 trees to permanently mar the character of Glen Canyon Park while continuing to waste limited RPD funds. For more information about what is going on in Glen Canyon, please visit: sfglencanyon.net What you can do now: **PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION **Come to the SF Forest community meeting: Saturday, October 6th, 3pm at the Recreation Center in Glen Canyon Park -- 70 Elk Street. **Contact: Rec & Parks Commission: [email protected], Supervisor Scott Wiener: [email protected] and the Mayor: [email protected] **Get involved and let others know If you would like to help with the effort to stop the deforestation of Glen Canyon Park or Mount Davidson, please contact the San Francisco Forest Alliance: website: sfforest.net facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ForestAlliance Thank you for helping!

Apple iPhone5 substitutes Apple Maps for Google Maps. Apple Maps cannot route you on transit–only driving. Google Maps is the transcendent resource for routing yourself around any city, anywhere, that has transit service. Apple needs to keep serving those of us who love Apple AND love transit.

California law does not allow homeowners to size their Solar systems larger than what they use. In order to get the California Solar Initiative (CSI) rebate, the customer is not allowed to install a system that inherently over-produces more than what is needed for his home. We need to get our homes ready for Electrical Vehicles. Our California Residential Feed-In Tariff should start out at 50 cents per kilowatt hour, 5 cents per kilowatt hour to the Utility for use of the Grid, 45 cents per kilowatt hour going to the Home Owner. A California Commercial FiT in Los Angeles, Palo Alto and Sacramento, CA. is operating NOW, paying the Business Person 17 cents cents per kilowatt hour. The California Public Utility commission can change the FIT to payment levels that are differentiated appropriately, and distribute the solution to all tax-paying citizens, who should not be deliberately handcuffed. Residential homeowners should be allowed to oversize their Renewable Energy systems and participate in the State mandated goal to achieve 33% Renewable Energy by 2020. Due to these laws, we have automatically taken out over 8 million Residential Home Owners who would generate over 6,000 MW of power; that's 2.25 San Onofre nuclear power plants. We need to let our Hard Working, Tax Paying, Voting, Law Abiding, Home Owning Citizens in on a Feed-In Tariff, and allow Homeowners to oversize their Renewable Energy Systems. "Right now the course of our future is being set by the fossil fuel industry, the most powerful corporations in the history of the world, and they’re steering us off a cliff into a raging inferno. They fight each day to blow up more mountains for coal, demolish more land and oceans for oil and shatter more of the ground beneath our feet by fracking for oil and gas with a cocktail of the most toxic chemicals known to humankind. With each passing day that these interests set our course, with every additional ton of greenhouse gases emitted like a poison in our atmosphere, the drier the ink becomes on the bleak future written by the fossil fuel industry. That future is one where oceans drown our coastal homes and cities, where biodiversity is diminished. It’s a future where droughts will parch our agricultural fields and allow wildfires to run rampant. It’s a future where clean, freshwater will be among the world’s scarcest resources, and where smog and pollution suffocate our lungs and the planet’s. Given the fossil fuel industry’s seemingly unlimited money and political influence, changing their course and taking control of our future is a tall order. But again, we must. And all of you, can make the choices that lead you to seize that control. I can tell you how significant a difference each of us can make, how important the choices we make can be and the power we have in this country." John Armstrong

The medicinal marijuana plant can be used as a cheaper alternative to produce fuel,paper,food,oil,textiles,housing, and inspiration. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew it as they established our country! Decriminalizing the use of Hemp and Cannabis can save us $7 billion dollars a year and can produce thousands of jobs! Legalize it and tax it to profit our nation!

Keystone XL Pipeline and TransCanada are pushing through private property while landowners and protesters chain themselves to bulldozers. They need help and support. Having grown up in the California suburbs, riding horses, I'm intimately familiar with what happens to land when there's money to be made. Anything goes. It's devastation and desecration.

In the wake of the August 6, 2012 Chevron refinery explosion, thousands of Richmond residents ended up in the hospital with respiratory problems, burning eyes, and rashes. Now Chevron thinks they can spread around a little bit of money and get off easy. Well we, the residents of Richmond, are fed up with Chevron failing to put the safety of its workers and Richmond residents first. Chevron needs to be held accountable for the harm they have done to our community.
