  • When doing the right thing doesn't pay off
    We vote, pay taxes, pay our bills on time; and because I graduated from graduate program and have a good job, we get denied Federal and local grants. We lost almost everything in Hurricane Sandy and have been paying our mortgage on a house we cannot live in. We have only lived in our home, our first and only, for two years.

  • Make the Detroit Institute of Arts a National Monument
    President Obama has the power with the stroke of a pen to designate the Detroit Institute of Arts as a national monument. I am a native Detroiter, and I love the Detroit Institute of Arts. The thought of losing its collection—especially the Diego Rivera murals—is heartbreaking. I can't just sit by and do nothing while my main source of pride in Detroit is stolen.

  • Guarantee Affordable Housing in the Crown Heights West Rezoning
    Despite the drastic increase in rent in the Crown Heights neighborhood, the proposed rezoning for Crown Heights West offers no guarantees that new housing will be affordable to existing residents. The rezoning only includes a voluntary incentive, called Inclusionary Zoning, for developers to build some affordable units within market-rate developments. This incentive has a track record in NYC of resulting in few affordable units, and a vast array of luxury housing. Regardless of whether developers take the affordable housing incentive, they would be allowed to build larger buildings, which would increase the property value. This could mean: • Rents could increase. • Existing housing and retail space could be demolished. • Tenants could face increased harassment to leave their apartments. We need your help to tell the New York City Council to include protections for affordable housing and increased penalties for harassing tenants in the proposed Crown Heights West rezoning. We're asking NYC to: 1. Adopt Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning, a policy that guarantees a certain percentage of affordable units in new developments under a rezoning. 2. Establish an anti-harassment area, which requires the City to look into whether harassment occurred when it receives demolition requests and penalizes landlords who harass tenants. This petition is sponsored by the Crown Heights Assembly, a coalition of long-term residents and newcomers working for affordable and harassment-free housing in Crown Heights.

  • Cannabis Shrinks Tumors; government knew in '74
    "In 1974 researchers at the Medical College of Virginia, funded by the National Institute of Health to find evidence that cannabis damages the immune system, found instead that cannabinoids slowed the growth of three kinds of cancer in mice - lung and breast cancer, and a virus induced leukemia." The results were censored and the rest is almost unbelievable! It wasn't until 2000 that Dr. Manuel Guzman of Complutense University in Madrid Spain rediscovered that cannabinoids do indeed shrink tumors. This information was also censored! However, many more studies now prove this incredible fact, but, we still don't hear about it! 1600 Americans die each and every day of cancer, many more suffer needlessly, and, the cost to our health care system is staggering. Cannabis is also proven to treat many, many other diseases yet the federal government still claims cannabis has no medicinal benefit even though before prohibition, cannabis was was the most widely prescribed medicine in the USA! Even colicky babies were treated with it! Pot Shrinks Tumors; Government Knew in '74 http://www.alternet.org/drugs/9257 The '74 study http://www.ukcia.org/research/AntineoplasticActivityOfCannabinoids/index.php Here is the 2000 study by Guzman, twenty six years later, over ten years ago, that proves the same. How sad! 1600 Americans a day!!! http://www.brainlife.org/reprint/2003/guzmán_m031000.pdf Or; http://herb.com/guzman.pdf And; "Cannabis destroys cancer cells... reveals research at Barts and The London, Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry" http://www.qmul.ac.uk/qmul/news/newsrelease.php?news_id=175 And; " Here, we review recent work that raises interest in the development and exploration of potent, nontoxic, and nonhabit forming cannabinoids for cancer therapy. http://m.cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/68/2/339.full Prior to becoming illegal in 1937, "cannabis tinctures, fluid extracts, and flowers" were the most commonly used medicines in the USA. Your great-grandparents would have used them! (This information was deleted from the pharmacopoeia in 1941) http://antiquecannabisbook.com/chap4/Tincture.htm http://www.new-territory.net/cann_uses.txt There's so much more! Let's speak up!
