  • A call for peace talks and immigration reform
    Femicides in the "Northern Triangle" of El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala 2002-2011 are part of the social costs for the war on drugs as well as a black market engine to be addressed with immigration reform. Perhaps a war on poverty may serve women, and minorities of the Americas more humanely. Perhaps peace talks for a war on drugs may address immigration issues.

  • Rep. Andy Harris: Don't block Marijuana Legalization in DC
    On Election Day, DC residents voted to legalize marijuana. It won in a landslide; the ballot initiative passed 2:1. But now Maryland Republican Congressman Andy Harris is threatening to block the initiative, saying he'll use "all resources available to a member of Congress to stop this action." [1] Andy Harris represents Maryland's northeast and eastern shore, not Washington DC. And even though DC voters spoke loud and clear at the ballot box, Andy Harris is only hearing the sound of his own voice. Andy Harris' district isn't even near Washington DC, and Maryland voters -- his own constituents -- haven't spoken on this issue. But because of federal laws giving Congress control of DC, he can use his position in Congress to block, stall and delay city ordinances in Washington DC. That's what he's threatening to do, even though DC voters overwhelmingly voted to legalize marijuana. If Andy Harris gets his way, he'll prove that the voice of one wealthy Congressperson can overpower the will of hundreds of thousands of everyday residents.

  • Expel Senators McConnell & Paul! (@McConnellPress, @SenRandPaul)
    We believe that United States Senator Mitch McConnell, aka Addison Mitchell McConnell, Jr., and United States Senator Rand Paul, aka Randall H. Paul, M.D., have been derelict in their duties and responsibilities as a United States Senators under Article 1, Section 5, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, especially in the areas of Safety & Security, and should be removed by their peers in the Congress for this dereliction.

  • Mitch McConnell: Return the cocaine-linked money
    There are over 100,000 inmates in American prisons for non-violent drug offenses; meanwhile McConnell continues to personally profit by accepting donations linked to cocaine-smuggling companies. It's time for an end to the hypocrisy.

  • Keep public admission to McCrory Gardens free
    Since its establishment in the 1960s McCrory Gardens has been free and open to the public. We have strolled without restriction among the plantings with family, friends, and visitors. A general admission fee is proposed to begin in the spring and a 6-foot wrought iron fence has been erected around the Gardens. These changes will end McCrory's long-standing tradition as a public space. Our community has been fortunate to have this beautiful botanical gem in our midst and its unfettered access to all has been its greatest asset. Through the Garden we could nurture our nature-dependent psyches and guide our children to explore and love the living world around them. Charging admission and funneling entrance through the Visitor’s Center will discourage the Garden's many casual visitors. Some community members, unable to afford Friends membership or admission fees (modest though they may be), will similarly be unable to partake of McCrory's restorative benefits. We have been told that McCrory has an annual budget shortfall of $100,000 yet the estimated admission revenue is only $15-20,000 per year. The community of Brookings has supported the Gardens for nearly 50 years and will continue to enthusiastically support McCrory as the public space we have enjoyed these many decades. Many other institutions of higher education administer botanical gardens and arboretums that are free and open to the public. Among these are the Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden, University of California; University of Delaware Botanic Gardens; Waddell Barnes Botanical Gardens, Middle Georgia State College; Kansas State University Gardens; Lyle E. Littlefield Ornamentals Trial Garden, University of Maine; The Botanical Garden of Smith College; Matthaei Botanical Gardens, University of Michigan; University of Nebraska-Lincoln Botanical Garden and Arboretum; Rutgers Gardens; Cornell Plantations; Sarah P. Duke Gardens, Duke University; North Carolina Botanical Garden; University of North Carolina; Reynolda Gardens, Wake Forest University; Kalmia Gardens, Coker College; and South Carolina Botanical Garden, Clemson University. While some of these examples may not be exactly analogous to McCrory perhaps their funding mechanisms can be adapted to McCrory. Any number of fundraising ideas, individually or in tandem, has the potential to generate more revenue than charging admission. Corporate or city sponsorship might be options. Annual fundraising drives. Admission fees for events such as the annual Garden Party. Unlike the alienating admission fee, events can generate awareness and good will as well as funds. Please explore and exhaust other options before resorting to general admission fees. We understand the need for security for the Garden's donated and sponsored plantings as well as the research areas and we hope the fence will deter senseless vandalism. However, the fence is a barrier, both physical and psychological, that isolates McCrory from the community in which it has always been integral. We request that the west parking area be reopened and that the gate in that area be kept open during daylight hours. The Gardens should also have additional gates for emergency entrance or exit.
