86% of Franklin Law Library Shredded for 2¢/lbOn Feb. 6th, 7th, 14th, 2017, three truck loads of books comprising 86% of the 200 year old law book collection of Franklin County Law Library, were delivered to North Star Pulp and Paper in Springfield, MA and shredded, for two cents a pound. These books are the property of the People of Massachusetts. Hundreds of books worth thousands of dollars were destroyed. This has already happened to other county law libraries. Please sign this petition. Tell your Legislators, the Governor, and the Trial Courts that not one more single book should be destroyed by those entrusted with the duty of protecting the law books of the Citizens of Massachusetts. Also, please go the extra mile and personally contact the governor, your state representative, and state senator in person and say that no more of our books should be destroyed, or removed from public access. (Contacts below). Our Mass. Constitutional Right: Public county law libraries are a Constitutional Right for all Massachusetts Citizens. Article 11, of Part 1 of the Massachusetts Constitution's "Declaration of Rights", states that "Every subject of the Commonwealth ought to find a certain remedy, by having recourse to the laws, for all injuries or wrongs which he may receive in his person, property, or character. He ought to obtain right and justice freely, and without being obligated to purchase it; completely, and without delay; conformably to the laws." The county law libraries are the means of keeping that promise, that no citizen be required to purchase legal advice. Did you know that any citizen has the right to use a county law library, and that a law librarian is always there to help them look up the law pertaining to any case or legal matter. Although a law librarian can not offer legal advice, they can help any citizen to do their own research, and educate themselves about the legal issue that concerns them. Franklin Law Library is the 4th oldest county law library in Massachusetts, founded in 1816. These books represent 200 years of the thought and experience of our most learned practitioners of the law, people who devoted their lives to the wise interpretation and defense of our Constitutional Rights, some of whom lived at the time our US and Massachusetts Constitutions were written. Many of these books were over 100 years old. Some sets of books were worth anywhere from $2000 to $7000. Many books were worth $550 and more. They are irreplaceable. These books are the living memory of how our constitution was interpreted a century ago, before our constitutional rights had become so eroded that they are now no longer being properly enforced. If We the People are to rescue our Constitutional Rights, it is essential to preserve the memory of the correct interpretation of our Constitution, which is accurately recorded in these books. I am simply a citizen, but the former Franklin Law Library was a place I loved. It was, to me, the most beautiful historical architectural space of all the local county law libraries; a perfect, magical "Harry Potter" library, with rows upon rows of 20 foot tall book shelves, a 200 year old collection or books. There were marble floors, and big oak panel doors, with solid old oak tables, and a wonderful law librarian, who was delighted to see a citizen come to the library to use the books. It felt like walking back 100 years in time, to a time and place where it was still treated as an honor to be a citizen. With the court renovation, it was promised that the library would be housed in two floors of the new modern wing of the courthouse. It was not revealed until the courthouse reopened, on February 6th of this year, that the library was kicked out of the bottom floor, and moved into a tiny upstairs space whose floor was not constructed to support the weight of books. The book shelves in the new space can only be three feet high. The law library has gone from its original treasure of 4000 linear feet of books to 700 linear feet, and from an incredibly beautiful space, to a mundane modern office space. Franklin Law Library is not the first library to have its books destroyed. Last year, New Bedford, and Fitchburg's law libraries were eliminated. Lawrence has lost 25% of its collection. We are still assessing how many thousands of law books have been destroyed across the state. We have heard that there is an intention to continue future shreddings of books in the rest of the county law libraries, if this is not stopped. If armed gunmen had entered the Franklin Law Library, and destroyed 86% of the books, it would have been on the cover of every newspaper in the country. But when the trial court administration - the legal custodians whose responsibility it is to protect our precious historic law books, violate the public trust by destroying our books, barely a whisper is heard. We have been told that these books are now available online. But they are not. The vast majority of books that have been pulped, were NOT dig...155 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Hoag

Cancel Cintra Tolls Contract - Support HB954Help Keep foreign company Cintra of Spain from fleecing our state and I77 road travelers! Three of their projects have already failed in three states and their own managed lanes in Spain are in Spanish bankruptcy court now! Yet NCDOT and the Governor are still pushing this plan as a "pilot." The Governor's goal is to put managed toll lanes on nearly every interstate and highway in NC to pay for roads. You can help stop this. Despite four towns and two counties protesting the very lopsided Cintra contract to build, manage and collect rider fees for Spain, our Governor, Charlotte, and NCDOT have gone ahead at every juncture possible to ignore and defy local requests to delay, not sign, and now cancel this devastating plan for three years. No economic impact study was ever done for I77. Yet an economic impact study was done for I-95 toll roads and that project never went through. We are being forced into guinea pigs despite the negative impact to our towns, businesses, local businesses, future growth and families. This plan was derived by Charlotte engineers for Charlotte, to drive traffic into Charlotte. The suburbs be damned. And Governor McCrory knows this and still supports this plan because it is part of his 25-year road plan. The I77 toll road plan and contract will not fix the most congested interstate in the state! Except for about 6% of the wealthiest who will have access to it, including Lowes Corporation Headquarters, and those that can afford $2000-6000 a year in toll fees for their daily commute. The rest of the commuters, travelers, semis and local errand runners and local businesses will be trapped on the main local road (I77) with ever increasing congestion. This stretch of highway has NEVER been widened since built in 1972. And neither has the ONE single-lane optional side road to go north and south. Yet all Interstates/freeways around Charlotte have been widened to 3-5 lanes. The roads east in and beyond the Piedmont are hardly used yet have four lanes. And NCDOT is widening I40 where it s not congested. Commutes on I77 that used to take 20 minutes can now take up to 2 1/2 hours each way! Toll lanes will not fix this, they will make it worse. NCDOT is on its third draft of the actual lanes. It's been nearly two years since the contract was signed. This third draft will not allow for all to use the tolls, eats up all available right of way with "merging " lanes and will add to the congestion. Merging lanes will be coming into two lanes of I77 riddles with semis, from both the current exits merging and the new proposed merging from the left toll lanes. One expert with 35 years in road design and building, predicts an increase of eight deaths a year due to this dangerous road design. And stated our side roads don't have the capacity to absorb the added traffic from avoidance of I77. Governor McCrory appointed Nick Tennyson as Secretary of Transportation and Ned Curran as Chairman of the NC Board of Transportation. Neither gentleman has formal training in Interstate Development. Secretary Tennyson was a former mayor. Chairman Curran is the CEO of Bissell, a developer of commercial and compact housing projects. Mr. Curran is also the Chairman of Charlotte Chamber of Commerce. This steep conflict of interest is being ignored because Governor McCrory and Ned Curran are long time friends. Here are some facts about the I77 project: - Cintra's lawyers wrote the contract and have also handled two bankruptcies for Cintra in the USA - The contract is for 50 years from completion of build - If Cintra/I77 Mobility Partners does not make enough money in tolls NC taxpayers must pay them up to $75M. - The projected traffic fees, to sell the bonds, was and is projected to be more than Los Angeles at $34M per year. It is unrealistic. It will fail. - NCDOT's documents state this plan will not fix congestion, and will make the evening commute longer. I77mobility Partners (Cintra's subsidiary) is marketing managed lanes will fix congestion - Canceling the contract saves the state $331M ( minus any cancellation fees) - the road plan will use up the limited existing right of way and will not allow for more than two Interstate general purpose lanes for 50 years - the lanes that Cintra will build, per NCDOT diagrams, will not be strong enough for semis. The road depth will be half the depth needed with the wrong base for semi use - Should Cintra go bankrupt and NC take the Interstate back, these new 2-4 lanes will need to be torn up and rebuilt to allow for heavier traffic such as semis - If businesses cannot get their goods through the middle of the state, small and medium sized businesses will not come here and some may leave to Rock Hill - Bankruptcy is highly likely as the contract was written to use a loophole for accelerated depreciation. This benefits Cintra and its investors to use the accelerated depreciation to reduce tax bills against profits - Cintra has already sold 49.9% of the contract...3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anette Powell

Wextrust Victims Letter to Judge Chin November 2014The Honorable Denny Chin Daniel Patrick Moynihan Federal Courthouse Room 1020 500 Pearl Street New York, NY 10007 Re: SEC v. Steven Byers, et al. 08-Civ. 7104 (DC) SUBJ: Investor objections to pending fee requests October 26, 2014 Your Honor, I am writing on behalf of the WexTrust victims to object to pending fee requests and communicate our concerns as the case draws to a close. We recognize that the process of devolving and liquidating the various assets has been a task of considerable complexity. Over the course of the past six years, a virtual army of lawyers, accountants and other professionals have billed thousands of hours to the estate. As the Court is aware, many questions have been raised as to the individual billing rates, the Receiver’s performance and most importantly as to the cumulative charges. You have received many letters from victims addressing a range of complaints since the case began. Rather than recite a litany of old gripes with respect to the conduct of the Receivership, I would like to comment on the big picture. The first indication that we were going to have an issue with fees came early, when Dewey&LeBoeuf submitted a bill for $2.1M for twenty days’ work. You will recall that the charge included exorbitant rates for partners, associates, summer students, paralegals and clerks. Unbeknownst to all at the time was the fact that D&L was experiencing severe financial pressures which ultimately led to bankruptcy. Unfortunately, the first fee application was only a prelude of things to come. As the charges continued to grow unabated, many victims wrote letters to the Court voicing their alarm. Even the media began to question the rapid escalation of fees. To your credit, you have expressed reservations over the charges to the SEC and Receiver on several occasions. Indeed, during a hearing on Sept 13, 2010 you said, “...if Judge Sullivan or I had been asked at the outset will you authorize $20M in fees ...? We would have said no way.” Later, at that same hearing, Mr. Jacobson of the SEC reassured you that “all professionals in this case understand that at the end of the case, if there is not a lot of money in the estate, that all of their fees are subject to some type of disgorgement ...” He went on to explain that the case law is fairly clear on this issue and that “when the Court decides final fee applications it can take into account the recoveries to the estate.” Of course, when the case began, no one knew with certainty what the victim recoveries might be. In retrospect however, the Receiver was often overly optimistic in his projections. For example, at a May 21, 2009 hearing, he said that he expected the victims to recover “anywhere from five to fifty cents on the dollar” even though that statement was flatly contradicted by his own analysis in the just-released Third Interim Report. More recently, on Aug 8, 2013, the Court was told that the Receiver “conservatively estimated” $25-$30M to be available for distribution and administrative costs. Now we know that figure to be closer to $21M. These inaccurate estimates are important because they were invariably made in support of pending fee applications and may have persuaded the Court that more money was going to be available for the victims than is the case. Well, we now know with some certainty what the recovery to the estate will be, and the numbers are deeply disturbing. When this whole affair began, cash on hand was $22.1M. Presently, we have $21.3M in cash. The Receiver informed the Court on Sept 9, 2014 that administrative costs still pending include $5.1M in holdbacks and nearly $1M in unbilled professional fees. If these remaining charges are approved, then the amount available for distribution to the victims will total about $15.2M (assuming the estate isn’t hit with a big tax bill from the IRS). Taking into account the initial distribution of $5M, the total amount returned to the victims will be $20.2M. Professional compensation, on the other hand, will have totaled $24.1M ($18M already paid, $5.1M in holdbacks and the $1M in unbilled charges). So Your Honor, the bottom line is this: after six years and legions of high priced professionals later, the Receiver has managed to spend $24.1M to produce a NEGATIVE return of $1.9M! Stated another way, on day one there was $22.1M in cash available for the victims. Now, our cumulative cash distribution will likely total $20.2M, for a loss of $1.9M. And it is critically important to understand that this $20.2M distribution, as disappointing as it is, in no way represents a “recovery” by any stretch of the imagination. In the end, it is simply our own money that was sitting in a bank account to begin with. In fact, an argument could be made that we will have paid $24.1M for the privilege of making a simple bank withdrawal. Only in this case, the Receiver failed to protect the status quo as directed by the Court, resulting in a $1.9M loss of principal. Thus, the true c...214 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Patti Robertson

A Bipartisan Way to Actually Reduce Gun ViolenceSince Newtown, almost all the focus has been on the specific weapons and other factors that led to that tragedy (and similar ones that have occurred over the last few years). The discussions have focused on things like banning assault rifles, limiting clip sizes, doing more extensive background checks on (more) gun buyers, identifying ways of keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, and so on. Notice the very narrow focus on stopping this particular event from happening again. In part this narrow focus is understandable, caused by our horror at what happened. But we must also realize that what has been proposed so far has a very narrow focus. The larger problem of gun violence has been overlooked in our rush to address the specifics of Newtown. Perhaps "larger problem" doesn't do it justice. Everyday gun violence in America is horrendous. In the short time since Newtown, as of March 10, there have been 2,574 people killed by guns in the United States. Almost 92 times as many as died at Newtown! And yet, there is almost nothing being done about it, this larger dimension of the gun-violence problem. Here is a way to effectively deal with that larger problem, a truly bipartisan idea that - with your support - would appeal to groups across the political spectrum, for reasons I think you'll readily see: Let's penalize the USE of guns in a CRIME far more heavily than we do today. Let's finally begin treating gun violence ITSELF as the truly serious crime we all agree that it is. How? It's pretty simple, really. It's called the PLUS-15 Rule: If someone fires or brandishes a gun – any gun – in the commission of a crime, they will automatically get an additional 15 years tacked on to their sentence. Period. It sounds awfully harsh, doesn't it? And it is. Intentionally. It is harsh and it is meant to sound harsh. Because it has to break through the numbness that too often affects our (and criminals') perceptions of gun-use. Gun-use in crime has become a commonplace in America. What we expect to hear on the News at Eleven. What should outrage us - say, a guy using a gun to rob a candy store - is seen as just part of the usual picture. We hardly notice it as the shocking violation of people – a threat of DEATH – that it truly is. To capture the attention of those who would use guns to terrify and harm us, harsh, eye-catching change is an unavoidable, necessary step. If those considering going armed are forced to look at the gun as a guaranteed +15 years in prison, they WILL hesitate to carry, and maybe even hesitate to own. If we all agree that we really don't want criminals using guns to commit crimes, if we really MEAN it, then let the penalty fit that intention. Let's write serious law that will say, loud and clear, "Don't Use a Gun." Similar laws have been tried here and there, typically with just 5-year additions to sentences, but they have had only limited effect.The fact is that 5 years is simply not enough. What is enough? Confront potential gun-users with a stretch in prison long enough to take a person from one stage of life to another, from 19 to 34, from 25 to 40, from 37 to 52. One that's long enough to make that person think twice, even if he thinks he'll live forever. The PLUS-15 idea WILL have an affect on the predators who use guns against law-abiding citizens. Politically, the PLUS-15 proposal would get broad, bipartisan support. It's a good bet that even the NRA would favor such a law. Why? Because PLUS-15 isolates only the deliberate, CRIMINAL use of a gun against people, rather than outlawing ownership or creating background-check hurdles, etc. In essence it is what the NRA has been calling for all along: that only the criminal use of a gun should be isolated and punished. The PLUS-15 idea doesn't prevent gun ownership, and yet it would almost certainly reduce premeditated gun violence. It would still allow homeowners and other average citizens to own guns for protection if they so desire. And PLUS-15 would not – in any way – infringe on 2nd Amendment rights. Another thing: whether or not PLUS-15 works as a deterrent (let's face it, criminals don't think they'll get caught at all, so a stiffer sentence may not deter all of them), it will still take the **#!!??!*s who choose to use guns against us off our streets for a good, long time. We'll be safer and their pals will sooner or later start to get the message. This is an effective step that we can actually take right now politically. Both sides would actually – maybe even eagerly – go for it. Support the PLUS-15 idea and help make it the law of the land.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Greg Smith

Stop the speed bumpsFACTS: SPEED BUMPS ARE DANGEROUS IN EMERGENCIES – THEY CAN COST LIVES. Ambulances and fire trucks are slowed down up to 13 seconds for EACH speed bump. Seconds DO count in an emergency. Lake Price Road will slow emergency vehicles over 2 minutes EACH WAY to and from an emergency. Heart attack victims could die waiting for help. The "Anti Safe Streets Residents" (ASSR's) DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS! They would rather their neighbors DIE than have more traffic in front of their homes (which just happen to be on a main street)! According to a Miami Herald interview with a paramedic, “Our trucks have to crawl over them. If we are carrying someone with a neck or spinal injury, you can’t go more than 5mph over them. Can you imagine doing an IV with a patient and hitting a bump?” YES, EVEN AT A CRAWL, THEY HURT. "Councils to spend millions" The Electronic Telegraph, England, February 27, 2000 "TOWNS and cities throughout Britain are to spend millions of pounds removing up to 500,000 road humps, because they are a potential hazard for new buses built with lower floors to allow wheelchair access." - "...roads with humps have been declared bus-less zones and routes now go along hump-free streets. ... Although low-floor buses can just about get over them, road humps can damage the undercarriage and provide an uncomfortable ride for passengers." - "Ambulances already have to go on special routes to avoid (the humps) when transferring critically ill people to hospital if there is a danger a sudden jolt could make their injuries worse." SPEED BUMPS DAMAGE VEHICLES. Even crawling over these bumps and grinding traffic to a halt, serious vehicular damage occurs to cars, county emergency vehicles, school buses and trucks (not to mention damage to the contents from bumping along). Driving over them daily produces a cumulative damaging effect. They must be driven over at idle creeping speed, NOT 25 mph. Taxpayers pay for increased county vehicle maintenance costs, but Anti Safe Streets Residents (ASSR's) DON'T CARE! They just think that everyone (including the disabled, seniors and disabled children's bus) wants to speed past their house (which happens to be on a MAIN ROAD - anyone listening?) SPEED BUMPS COST TAXPAYERS MONEY AND INCREASE AREA POLLUTION. The repeated braking-acceleration causes vehicles to burn more gasoline, increasing your fuel costs (just what we all need) and adding UP TO 10% to the area's pollution. Anti Safe Streets Residents (ASSR's) DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS EITHER. Anything is worth it to them to have less traffic outside their home. Anything. SPEED BUMPS NEGATIVELY AFFECT PROPERTY VALUES Think about it. You don't like driving over an unsightly and dangerous roller coaster road every day. Would you have purchased in this area if these road impediments were already installed? Would you have wanted to purchase in an area which made you drive over 9 speed bumps every day to and from your home? The overwhelming majority of people say "NO" to that question. What will that do when it comes time to sell YOUR home? Ah, one topic that WILL affect the Anti Safe Streets Residents (ASSR's) at house sale time. SPEED BUMPS FRUSTRATE DRIVERS AND DIVIDE COMMUNITIES. The majority of drivers obey speed limits. Impeding roads with reverse potholes and forcing people to endure the disruption and inconvenience simply adds to road rage. In some communities, drivers honk their horn as they pass over every speed bump as a form of protest. People already spend too much time on the road without having their daily drive disrupted even more. Anti Safe Streets Residents (ASSR's) DON'T CARE HOW anyone else feels about humps. THEY want them and THEY like them and THEY just want THEIR way and no other residents of "their" community should have any say in what THEY want, even though THEY are the minority and THEY LIVE ON A MAIN ROAD (or didn't they notice this small fact?) How selfish and un-neighborly and shortsighted can these people be? THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO DEAL WITH TRAFFIC! SPEED BUMPS CAUSE PAIN FOR DISABLED INDIVIDUALS. Anti Safe Streets Residents (ASSR's) JUST DON'T CARE that speed bumps cause discomfort for disabled people and those with back and neck injuries. As unpleasant as it is for a healthy person to be suddenly jolted by constant stop and go over roller-coaster road impediments, imagine what an injured person feels. Senior Citizen Transport Buses jolt our precious seniors who already are in pain. Don't tell us that these people just want to "speed"! SPEED BUMPS ARE BEING OUTLAWED AND REMOVED IN MANY COMMUNITIES. Extensive governmental studies have proven that speed bumps are no more than an annoying, destructive and ineffective method of traffic control. NO accidents are prevented from their installation. In fact, a young girl was recently killed after being struck by a vehicle negotiating around a speed bump.37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark

PETITION TO CONSIDER PUBLIC BANKING IN RHODE ISLANDPETITION TO CONSIDER PUBLIC BANKING IN RHODE ISLAND Why Would Public Banking Benefit Our Rhode Island Economy? Rhode Island can solve its budget crisis – Own a Bank! Restoring credit to the local economy must happen at the state level. The Fed is not the answer. Many states are taking the initiative with legislation aimed at establishing state-owned banks based on the successful model of the 93 year old Bank of North Dakota. Generates new revenue for states, directly through annual bank dividend payments, and indirectly by creating jobs and spurring local economic growth. Lowers debt costs for local governments. Public banks can get access to low-cost funds from the regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The banks can pass savings on to local governments when they buy debt for infrastructure investments. The banks can also provide Letters of Credit for tax-exempt bonds at lower interest rates, or help a city or the state itself issue a new bond at an interest rate lower than it could otherwise get in the open market, or buy bonds already issued and traded on the bond market, with interest payments simply diverted to the state. Builds up small business. In markets increasingly dominated by large corporations and the banks that fund them, public banks would increase lending capabilities at the smaller banks that provide the majority of small business loans in America. Does not compete with community banks. Rather, it partners with and supports them in making loans. The BND serves the role of a mini-Fed, providing correspondent banking services to virtually every financial institution in North Dakota, including a Federal Funds program with daily volume of $330 million, check clearing, cash management services, and automated clearing house services. Does not compete for loans or commercial deposits. Virtually all of the BND’s deposits come from the state. The BND does not take municipal government deposits; instead, these funds remain in local community banks, which are able to use them for loans because the BND provides letters of credit guaranteeing them. Remains independent of private banking interests. Although the BND is an online member of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank, it is insured by the “full faith and credit” of North Dakota, not the FDIC. This helps avoid risk and unnecessary expense, since the BND’s chief depositor is the state, and the state has far more to deposit than $250,000, the maximum covered by FDIC insurance. FDIC insurance is not only expensive, but subjects the state to interference by a semi-private national banking association. Supported by local independent banks. The North Dakota Bankers’ Association endorses the BND. When partnering with local banks, the BND does not solicit customers, unlike the large commercial banks. North Dakota has the most local banks per capita and the lowest default rate of any state. Provides accountability, transparency and prudent risk management and operates according to a charter that promotes the public interest. By partnering with local banks, the BND actually shields itself from risk, since the local bank determines the credit worthiness of the borrower and takes the initial loss in the event of default. A public bank is run by professional bankers who are public employees, operating transparently, audited publicly by state regulators, and not incentivized to speculate in derivatives and risky subprime loans. Creates new jobs and spurs economic growth. According to studies by the Center for State Innovation, if Washington State had a fully-operational publicly owned bank capitalized at $100 million during the present recession, it would have supported $2.6 billion in new lending and helped to create 8,212 new small business jobs. Likewise, a proposed Oregon bank would help community banks expand lending by $1.3 billion and help small business create 5,391 new Oregon jobs in its first three to five years. Is self-funding and self-sustaining. The BND keeps federally-guaranteed funds in the state and uses the profits on these to build a capital surplus from which loans are made to local businesses. The BND has a return on equity of 25-26% and has contributed over $300 million to the state (its only shareholder) in the past decade—a notable achievement for a state with a population of approximately 670,000. Partners with community banks by leveraging state funds into credit for local purposes, funds that would otherwise leave the state via Wall Street banks and be leveraged abroad, drawing away jobs that could go to locals. Further, infrastructure projects can be funded through a state bank at substantially less cost, since the state owns the bank and gets the interest back. Studies have shown that interest states now pay, composes 30-50% of public projects. Strengthens local banks, even out credit cycles, and preserve real competition in local credit markets. There have been no bank failures in North Dakota during the financial cr...67 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elizabeth Bernier

Petition to Obama & Congress for a Green Recovery, Economy & AmericaFor the Sake of Our Children Petition for a Green Recovery, a Green Economy & Green America #1 in the Series: Petitions for Smarter Capitalism "Socialism collapsed because it did not allow the market to tell the economic truth. Capitalism may collapse because it does not allow the market to tell the ecological truth." - Oystein Dahle, former Exxon VP Mr. President & Congress, We are calling on you to lead a global green recovery leading to a clean, healthy, sustainable economy, America and world. • First, sponsor a series of nationally televised programs where the American scientific community and military can educate the public on the clear and present danger posed by our pollution of the planet in order to gain maximum public support for a Green Recovery. • Then create a Green Recovery by creating an economy-wide boom in demand for continually cleaner, safer, healthier, less polluting energy, goods, services and production methods of all kinds. • Because supply follows demand, an economy-wide boom in investment and innovation will follow with millions of new green jobs developing, making, installing and selling ever cleaner, healthier alternatives as well as millions of other jobs becoming ever greener with Americans working in ever cleaner, healthier, safer workplaces using ever cleaner, healthier products and production methods. • The best way to create this is to implement economy-wide pricing that does tell the ecological truth. Pricing That Tells the Truth • Pricing that tells the truth is when the overall, long term costs of goods, services and production methods - social and environmental health, pollution, disposal, security/military and government subsidy - is reflected short term in the upfront cost. • As a prime example, because every year in America coal mining accidents kill and injure miners, its fine particle pollution causes 24,000 premature deaths, 38,200 non-fatal heart attacks and 10’s of 1000’s of hospital visits and asthma attacks, its mercury pollution exposes 100,000 to 200,000 children to dangerous levels in the womb, its acid rain and waste from mountaintop removal and mining poisons 1000’s of America’s lakes, streams, and community water supplies, not to mention its huge contribution to global warming, coal would become prohibitively more expensive than solar and wind as they don't have a single one of these enormous costs. • With many of the same costs but in different proportions, oil, gas and nuclear would be more expensive than solar and wind, toxic chemical-laden factory farm food more expensive than organic food, cancer-causing products more expensive than safer alternatives, single use more expensive than reusable and industrially recyclable more expensive than home compostable, Nature’s recycling. • The way to make this truly, overall realistic and responsible pricing happen economy-wide is in an open, transparent program, our scientific community, using the new science of industrial ecology’s lifecycle cost assessments (LCA’s), would calculate these costs which in large part act as huge, unacknowledged taxes on society and huge, deferred taxes on our children. • Making these backdoor taxes clear and visible, Real Cost-Pollution Prevention (RCPP) taxes on the social and environmental costs of all major industrial ingredients, inputs, services, construction and production methods would increase in predictable increments and be levied at the most appropriate points of extraction, manufacturing, importation and/or sales. • Their predictability will give consumers, businesses, investors and governments the time and certainty to best plan how to reduce pollution and this is the Game-Changer that uses the most powerful economic incentive of all – making a profit.: • Reducing and eventually eliminating pollution (and thus reducing and eventually eliminating ones RCPP taxes!) becomes more profitable than polluting! • Continually Cleaner and Safer will under price and replace Dirty and Dangerous while profiting at everyone else’s expense, aka privatization of profit and socialization of cost will no longer be profitable. • In short, Real Cost-Benefit Pricing is not only truly realistic, morally, ecologically and economically honest and responsible, it’s also fiscally conservative – a dollar of pollution prevention tax now is far cheaper than higher, even catastrophic costs to our children down the road. Rebating RCPP Taxes to the Public To Accelerate the Green Recovery • The best way to jump start and accelerate the creation of millions of new green jobs and the greening of America's economy is as follows. • Deposit 25% of RCPP taxes monthly into the bank accounts of all adults who filed, paid taxes but earned less than $250,000 the previous year. This would be to help America's majority buy these ever eco-friendlier goods and services as well as to cushion them from initially, higher, economy-wide pricing. (Military costs for guarding overseas oil will drop over time as ...57 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tom Kahan

Petition to End War and DiseasePetition to End War and Disease As a matter of fact, the Secret Societies on the Earth such as the Ruling Illuminati (started by Mayer Rothschild and Adam Weishaupt in 1770s) are the cause of all the wars, and most of the disease and suffering on the Earth today. Some Humans have known for centuries that the cure for all disease is a balanced diet containing ONLY foods that have existed in nature for millions of years. This is because the cause of all aging and disease is atoms or molecules in the body that have a negative or positive electrical charge. These are called ions or free radicals. They bind to other molecules in your cells causing harm, and all aging and disease is caused by that. The way to cure all disease is to eat ONLY natural foods, to balance your Ph to just over 7.1, to eat a balance of the 42 "Essential Nutrients", and to detoxify your body with fruit and berry juices and Distilled water. Drink only distilled water, and bath with normal water, not distilled. Fluoride in tap water calcifies your pineal gland which is the unique part in your brain that puts thoughts together. This clouds your judgement and makes you less intelligent. Again, fruit and berry juices with distilled water will fix that. All drugs cause harm because our cells have not evolved/learned to use those unusual molecules. That is why no drug can ever make you healthy, and all drugs cause harm. The reason our medical communities use drugs instead of food to heal is because of the Rockefeller and Rothschild foundations which have been manipulating our institutions since 1913 by requiring policy changes, in return for large money contributions. This has even included book burnings of ancient natural cures. That is a horrible crime against humanity that was perpetrated by the Rothschild foundation. That is how you can cure all disease, and here is how we can end war on Earth forever: We The People of the Earth, need to expose the Secret Societies that are controlling the Nations of the Earth for their own benefit, much to the harm of the majority of the Human Population. All members of these secret groups swear loyalty and secrecy under penalty of death or worse, and that is why none of them should ever be given any offices of power in any government at all. That also is the reason for the Titles of Nobility Clause and Amendment in our US Constitution. We currently have the technology to visit other stars (The nearest is 4 light years away), but it would take an act of God they say to bring it to public knowledge. This info is from a top engineer in Lockheed Martin. The solution to over population is free healthcare and birth control. Ask nations like Norway or Finland, this is totally doable. All the fluoridated tap water, mercury preserved vaccinations, aluminum powder chemtrails, genetically modified foods, processed and preserved foods, mercury amalgam tooth fillings, and all drugs, are all meant to reduce the population of the Earth. But as you may realize, that is not needed. We only need to end the secret societies so we can free Humanity, and then we can begin to colonize other planets (which we do currently have the technology to do, mostly thanks to Nikola Teslas Inventions, which could also divert asteroids that may impact earth in 2015 and later). By exposing these Secret Societies we can save the Human Race from its own destruction. Studies show that most animals and human babies know, and choose right instead of wrong, right from birth. That is why I have faith in Humanity. It is only these corrupted bloodlines that lack empathy and choose to cause war and disease on purpose. The natural mind chooses good because it is constructive, and anything which is destructive is naturally recognized as bad.
