Some 30 years ago I watched the Independence Day parade from Monmouth to Independence, OR... Small town America swelling from a combined population of 12,000 to over 45,000 participants and spectators for the full day of USA Independence Day celebration beginning with the fire hall breakfast and then a 2 1/2 mile parade that everyone is welcome to join. I thought... “What if 45,000 people we're to turn out for INTERDEPENDENCE DAY???” ~~~ International Interdependence Day, a global tribute to the importance of recognizing our inter-connectedness... It became the Zambian Model UN recommendation at the Model United Nations National General Assembly as brought forward by American International School Lusaka high school student, Merijn Zbynek Cornelis Wijchers, (from The Netherlands) in November, 2001. Sent on to the Model UN files in NYC, it went into storage... Let's bring it back to life and make it happen! It's about time!!!

Americans are paying the high price of a Congress that is more interested in bipartisan infighting and sabotaging efforts of the President to pass proposals. Everyone of us is affected by their actions. Precious time is being wasted while people are suffering.

Fans and friends of the STL Cardinals who want management to know that "if you sign him, we will come." Albert is as much a heritage player as Stan the Man, The Wizard, Lou, Gibby, Mac and beyond. Find a way to make this work out for everyone... we believe you can and should make Mr. Pujols a "Cardinal Forever."

Studded tires cause huge damage to the roads and provide no safety benefit to drivers, except in extremely rare instances. Studdless tires do as well or better than studded tires in almost all instances. Oregon activist Jeff Bernards is organizing to get this initiative on the ballot. We need thousands of signatures on real State of Oregon initiative petitions to get this ban on studded tires on the ballot. Take action by signing this petition to join Jeff in passing this important ballot initiative here in Oregon.

A petition to Governor Malloy and relevant committees to prevent Jackson Labs from coming to CT. Jackson Labs is a forced breeding facility for animals who will be abused through experimentation in labs and the Governors plan will not have the fiscal benefits he has claimed. Animals used in experimentation endure the agony of isolation, fear, extreme confinement, invasive procedures without anesthesia or pain medicine, cold temperatures and noise. Please prevent such a breeding ground from entering our State.

Keeping Families Together...Where Possible I would like to start a non prophet organization for families who have dealt with and may still be dealing with the Child Protective Service system; who were not treated fairly; according to the system's own rules. We need to hold this system accountable; when their caseworkers take it upon themselves to rewrite the rules; allowing their personal feelings to decide their cases rather than professional ones. If questionable cases are re-opened, it will solve some of the adoption problems. I want to provide these families with the help they need when they don't know their rights. Please, feel free to contact me with any suggestions or prehaps we could work together to make a positive change in this system. Keeping Families Together...Where Possible...
