• Please, Mr. President, Go to Wisconsin, and Help Tom Barrett Oust One of the Worst, and Most Corr...
    Notwithstanding being outspent 25 to 1, Tom Barrett is within the margin of error in Wisconsin's recall election. Everyone agrees that this will be the second most important election in our country this year. Tea Partiers and other right wing fanatics are furiously working to defend the indefensible: Scott Walker, the most dishonest governor in the country, a known dirty tricks artist, an unindicted coconspirator, and an admitted puppet of the Koch Brothers and other corporate and billionaire conservative extremists who are bound and determined to make the lives of ordinary working people as burdensome and intolerable as possible. A Walker defeat would energize liberals throughout this country, whereas a Walker victory would dishearten those Wisconsinites who have worked so hard for a year and a half to stop the toxic flow of right wing extremism in their state and beyond. Please, Mr. President, no one can rally the troops like you can. And, by so doing, you will also enhance your own chances of prevailing in November. If you won't travel to Wisconsin to invigorate liberals who have been courageously trying to prevent their state from being overrun by right wing extremists with their anti-worker and anti-consumer agendas, please ask the First Lady, the Vice President, and/or President Clinton to stand in for you. The entire future of this country could well be hanging in the balance pending the outcome of this election, and this might well be your only opportunity to cut off the head of the snake before we all are poisoned.

  • Keep Genetically Engineered Food Out of Africa
    President Obama recently put forward his New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, a plan to improve agriculture in poor countries through private investment from companies like Monsanto and Cargill. The problem is that these companies claim that through Genetically Engineered (GE) seeds and crops they can end hunger, but GE food has been around for more than two decades and hunger is still rampant in many parts of the world where the technology washas been used. Top researchers confirm that the results of genetic engineering are unpredictable. This is why unexpected harmful substances may appear in GE food. This is important because about 70% of the food in supermarkets is GE and consumers don't even know it. Now this technology is going to be spread in parts of Africa, starting with Tanzania, Ghana, and Ethiopia. The leaders from the three countries attended the G8 conference and were eager for the investment. But they may be putting profit ahead of public interest by ignoring the needs of their small scale farmers in their home countries. GE has wreaked havoc in India and been boycotted in France, Brazil, Spain and Argentina, just to name a few. The people in those countries didn't want GE in their countries and now lawmakers are rethinking their decision. The lawmakers in Africa don't have an option because their countries are impoverished and they need all the help they can get, but not thorugh a destructive product and a damaged environment.

  • Ban Slaughter on Horses
    I want to ban the senseless slaughter of horses for human consumption. Horse are part of America. They were instrumental for the pony express, taking settlers to new lands, used as machines to haul lumber, wagons, and surplus, plowing, transportation, entertainment, and gambling. Enough is enough. Horse have been our helpers for centuries and this is how we acknowledge them. It is un- American. Please stop this senseless slaughter!

  • Stop Pet Abuse-Give Jail Time, Everytime!
    Who is tired of seeing people who abuse dogs & cats by beating them or dumping them in the desert, leaving them outside tied up with no water,etc. getting only a slap on the hand, a small fine or not even that but a lecture from a judge? Depending on where you leave I'm sure it differs in punishment. In Arizona it also extends to Greyhounds specifically, too old to race so just dump em'. Regardless of where you live though I'm sure you've seen commercials for your Humane Societies showing abused animals locally. SO PLEASE HELP STOP THE ABUSE1
