Newspapers need to stop publishing letters that deny climate change. They are as bad as holocaust deniers, except that this is a holocaust that is happening right now, albeit at a slower pace. If you have children your denial is affecting their future!

Sen. Elizabeth Warren has heard our concerns from across the state and she deserves recognition and gratitude for taking action in support of mandatory GMO labeling. Sen. Warren has recently co-sponsored Senator Boxer’s bill, S 809, “A bill to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require that genetically engineered food and foods that contain genetically engineered ingredients be labeled accordingly”. Senator Warren has also been recently recognized as one of “The Tremendous Ten” female senators pursuing means to force the FDA to close the 1992 loophole which exempts GMO foods from labeling in the first place. It has become clear that Warren is our ally in the pursuit of mandatory GMO labeling. Please sign this petition to thank Senator Warren for standing up for our Right to Know what we’re eating. She’s going up against some of the most powerful corporate interests in the world, so let’s let her know that she has our support!

This zoning change, if enacted, will raise taxes, spoil the education system and turn Bethany into a city. In Bethany we enjoy the rural character, the peace, the dark nights and the quiet almost entirely because of Bethany’s strict zoning regulations. If this development is allowed to proceed, subsequent proposals, as large or larger, would be right behind. Dense development will tax the water supply and likely pollute it. NO CLUSTER HOUSING OR DENSE DEVELOPMENT IN BETHANY!!

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (commonly known as the Senate intelligence committee) has passed legislation that would require the Administration to publicly report how many civilians and how many “combatants” are being killed in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia by U.S. drone strikes. When the committee passed this legislation, Maine Senator Susan Collins voted no. In order for the Senate to pass this legislation, it’s crucial for Senator Collins to change her position. The CIA has claimed that civilian casualties from U.S. drone strikes have been extremely rare. The record of independent reporting says otherwise. But because the CIA has never publicly stated on the record how many civilians it believes are being killed by U.S. drone strikes, the CIA has never been forced to defend its claims on the record. If the intelligence committee provision becomes law, the CIA would have to defend its claims about civilian deaths on the record, and we could have a meaningful democratic debate. Urge Senator Collins to reverse her opposition to telling the public about civilian deaths from U.S. drone strikes.
