Dear Readers, These Are The Reasons that I am passing on this e-mail;

NRA spokesman Wayne LaPierre testified yesterday at the Senate Judiciary Committee on gun violence. He's known for saying some pretty crazy things (arm every teacher!), but this time he had a simple message: No.

No to an assault weapons ban. No to smaller gun magazines. And no to universal background checks.

The NRA is making their case to Congress. DFA members are mobilizing to make sure they don't get the last word. Join us by chipping in $7 or more today.

I'll give the NRA credit, at least they're consistent. Folks like LaPierre refuse to back down from their extremist positions. But their hard-line stance would be a disaster for American lives and safety.

We have endured enough. We've seen news about deadly shootings day after day -- including one that occurred during yesterday's hearing in Phoenix, AZ.

We have to act now. Donate $7 or more right now to support comprehensive gun control reform.

Thanks for all you do,

- Arshad

Arshad Hasan, Executive Director
Democracy for America

Dear Readers, in addition, there is also this e-mail that I would like to pass on;
After all, together, we collected over 100,000 petition signatures in favor of the president's plan to stop gun killings and brought progressive activists to a key Senate hearing on gun violence.  
We have elevated the voices of real people over gun lobbyists through our advocacy. Now, we need your help to ramp up this bold progressive organizing and ensure that real people defeat NRA allies who stand in the way of reform.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.

How the violent mentally ill can buy guns

The federal background check for gun purchases fails to catch many mentally ill people with violent backgrounds, experts say.(CNN) -- Last November, Oklahoma City police officers went to check on an elderly woman after relatives reported they hadn't heard from her in a while.
At 77, Janet Hume was living with her adult son, Gerald, who the family said was schizophrenic. Since she typically kept in close contact with relatives, police decided to investigate.

 Tell Our Leaders to Establish a New Commission on Children!

Dear Readers, I am passing on this e-mail in order for you to be able to sign this most worth while petition too;

Every child deserves a happy and safe childhood. But for too many, including the 20 young lives lost in Newtown, CT, that isn't a reality.

We cannot stand by and let violence, poverty and other threats become pervasive parts of childhood in America. We need everyone at the table for a national conversation to find bold, new ideas.

That's why Save the Children is joining forces with the Children's Health Fund, Every Child Matters, First Focus, Harlem Children's Zone and Share Our Strength to call on President Obama and Congress to establish a new National Commission on Children to ensure the safety and well-being of every child.

Send a Message to President Obama and Congress.

America's children need YOU! Together, we can protect them today and give them hope for tomorrow. Sign our petition NOW and then share it with your friends!

Responsibility, Yes--That's Is Indeed Something We all have.

Attention! Attention!--This Fight is For Anyone, but especially Senior Citizens who were Stupid enough to have Voted For Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan>>>>

I hope you saw Patrick's email at the end of last week. After Patrick led the fight for an amendment that would help to protect our veterans and seniors from drastic budget cuts, Paul Ryan had the nerve to say it was "silly". But, thanks to you all, thousands of you stood up and said that protecting our veterans is never silly.

Thank you to all of you who signed our petition demanding that Paul Ryan stand up for veterans not his fat cat friends. If you haven't signed, you can still - click here to add your name to deliver a powerful message to Ryan.

Together, our voices have delivered a powerful message to Paul Ryan and to Congress and it's all because of you and thousands of others like you.

Thank you again for all that you do!

Subject: Paul Ryan: protecting veterans is silly?

To: Dear Reader, this is not my fight, after all, I Voted For Obama/Biden;

Yesterday I took to the floor for the first time and proposed an amendment that would, simply put, protect our nation's veterans and seniors from future drastic budget cuts to Medicare and Social Security.

Paul Ryan said that my amendment to protect our seniors and veterans was "silly" and "partisan." It's pretty shocking that Paul Ryan and the GOP won't even compromise to protect our veterans. That is why I started an online petition to Paul Ryan that he join me and protect our veterans -- because helping servicemen and women is never silly.


Click here to automatically sign the petition today and demand that Paul Ryan protect those who have served our nation so valiantly from drastic future budget cuts.

We must put partisan bickering aside and work together for the sake of our nation. While it is important that the GOP did not force us to default on its debts, we need to also protect some of our most vulnerable citizens. There's nothing silly about it. Click here to make sure Paul Ryan knows how you feel.

- Patrick

Well--Well.

Post Scribe---Sorry If that sounded like a cold-blooded, cold hearted Republican--but, one lesson that I remember learning while canvassing the neighborhood, where I met one angry old Republican and another angry old Republican, after another--after another . . .  who were all very proud to tell this person that they were voting for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Paul Ryan who now look forward to cutting Medicaid, so that the rich can get tax cuts.

A.K.A.--Remember You Need That Company More Than The Company Need You, with so many unemployed and under-employed--employees are expendable.

I am sorry, if it seems like I reference the former cleaning service too often, which is now A Bright Start LLC Cleaning Service, but from my experience with Lora Campe and her old sister whom she employs, but yet follows as a 'disciple'--Ethel 'Jane'--Odds are they are still up to their same tricks of 'ripping off' accused 'Witches' be they employees or clients or customers. Where they themselves have health care and other medical care, but none of their employees, who are expected to work as hard or harder than anyone else.  But, yet, forgetting that as Supervisor Ethel 'Jane' has the freedom that when her arthritis is acting up, she could assign the harder jobs to others---if an employee is in pain--they are at the mercy of whether she believed them or not, if she did not believe them then they would get the hardest jobs. Such as the time, when 'Dan' called off, he said his diapetise was acting up, but 'Jane' decided that he was just 'goofing off' and being lazy, so the next day, she assigned him the hardest job--the job of cleaning up a bathroom where a man died and was not found until days later. Rumor was that he filed for unemployment--Rumor was that this was the Real Reason that Bedknobs & Broomstix Cleaning Service went bankrupt--to avoid his workman's comp claim.--'Dan' Where ever you are--I am so very Sorry that I did not speak up sooner--One day I hope and pray that you and the Heaven will forgive my pre-occupation with working as many hours as I could because all I could see was the bills that I needed to pay--the only way that I could pay them was by working as many hours as I could and then some--since there was never any over time pay--it was $7.50 an hour--no matter how many hours were worked.

However, this title was Ethel 'Jane's' motto--She insisted that if she could work in pain that anyone and everyone else should be able too--Even Though as said before, as Supervisor-She had the freedom to assign others and most especially herself what job who would do. Employees do not have that luxury.

This--This is Why This Blog fights For Justice--OOOOPS --I FORGOT THE GREATEST INJUSTICE OF THEM ALL-- THEY DID ALL THAT IN THE NAME OF JESUS--AS IF-AS IF AS IF JESUS SAID GO FORTH AND LIE CHEAT AND STEAL --AMEN--GLORI HALLELUJAH--NO ONE SHALL OUT LIE--OUT CHEAT--OUT STEAL --THE LORD THY GOD!!!!!!!

This is what passes for "serious" thinking about policy on the right
" RYAN: If Mitt Romney and I won the election, they would not have happened. You know why? Because we would have gone and worked with Democrats and Republicans in Congress to actually put the budget on a path to balance and would have saved defense. So where are we now? I think the sequester is going to happen because that $1.2 trillion in spending cuts, we can’t lose those spending cuts. [...] But we think these sequesters will happen because the Democrats have opposed our efforts to replace those cuts with others and they’ve offered no alternatives."

After reading all these Republican Sour Grapes, is it any wonder why this Independent can ask the question--Who Would Hate America Enough To Vote Republican?

After all, no sane American wants to see the United States end up in a Depression or worse, but then, again, there are many Insane Americans, who are licking their lips at the prospect that if unemployment gets high enough, labor will become cheap enough, that more and more, if not all the profits will go to the 1%.  They are no doubt hoping and praying that the United States ends up like Spain.

Fake Protesters Offered $20 To Stand At Anti-Wind Energy RallyFake Protesters Offered $20 To Stand At Anti-Wind Energy Rally

  Written by Rebecca Leber

Most Americans like clean energy. So when conservatives wage campaigns against clean energy initiatives, they have typically resorted to fronting astroturf groups and paying fake protesters to generate noise.
Needing 100 anti-wind protesters by next week and apparently unable to find them, a mysterious firm advertised a “quick and easy $20″ on Craigslist. According to the ad, the only thing the “volunteers” would need to do for their pay is “stand next to or behind the speakers and elected officials/celebrities” at a rally against a wind turbine project in the UK.

Best Dystopian Novel Ever, Exceptional http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7188120391677885136#editor/target=post;postID=88704824974282129Narration

Nancy J (Edmond, OK)
I am not a sci-fi fan, but I read this book when it first came out in the '80s, and it was chilling (from a woman's point of view, at least). Looking back on it from the 21st century, it seems even more frightening, since the premise of the dystopian society -- the overthrow of the US government by murdering the president and all of congress by an EXTREME right-wing supposedly Christian group -- seems not so far-fetched as it once did.

The USA has been changed to Gilead. Pockets of resistance are still fighting against the group which has established a society where women are completely subjugated.

Any woman who is still fertile (after most of the world has been so contaminated that fertility is rare) is forced to become a Hand Maiden, assigned to one married male at a time solely for the purpose of bearing children to be raised by the father and his wife. The Gilead society is so repressive, and so brutal, that the Hand Maidens and almost all women are forced to become silent and internalize all thought.

Offred (of-fred) reveals the minutiae and the indignities of her life in an almost anesthetized state. Claire Danes' narration fits the tone and atmosphere perfectly, detailing every day in an almost emotionless manner. This is an excellent book with exception narration. I recommend it to any and all readers, whether you are in sci-fi or not.

WOW!!!! I REALLY MUST EITHER LISTEN TO OR READ THIS BOOK!!!! BY Ms. Margaret Atwood, who wrote this book waaaay back in 1985, during President Reagan's hay day.  She saw what many of us would learn much later, the hard way, by experience; but she had the vision and the wisdom to warn us. Too bad, too many were as ignorant as myself, and failed to heed these warnings until it was too late. Too many fools such as myself had to learn various lessons the hard way, instead.

The passionate pursuit of knowledge can revolutionize our world for good. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have dedicated their lives to protecting our planet, improving health and medicine, fighting cancer, and enriching education.

Their curiosity-driven work unlocking the secrets of nature and following unexpected paths has led to breakthroughs and advancements that affect the world over, including new treatments for fatal diseases and alleviating global hunger.

You can support their pursuit of Science for the Benefit of Humanity by creating and sharing a personal video message of hope through Tomorrow Lab for Humanity, a unique digital platform.

Your video dedication to an individual cause or area of science that's important to you will become part of a digital Tree of Humanity. What's more, you may share your message through social media to help spread the word and generate support for your dedication. Social media for social good!

Get involved in the pursuit of Science For the Benefit of Humanity! For today's Daily Action, share your message of hope with the world.

Maybe it is me, but I am a firm believer that we all must do more than just wish for a better tomorrow, that is unless we have a Jeanie hidden in a bottle somewhere  ;-)))), but then, again, most of us do not so it looks like we will have to work for a better tomorrow.  This--This is why I enjoy passing on petitions so much. This is why I am on a Gun Safety Committee.   That is why--here we go again--->>>

Dear Readers, I have signed and am passing this e-mail for those who has yet to sign;
Bees have been dying off in the US at an alarming rate — nearly 30% of our bee population, per year, have been lost to so-called colony collapse since 2006.
Scientists have long thought that the pesticide clothianidin was at least partially to blame.1 But the EPA has repeatedly ignored scientists' warnings and Americans' urgings to ban its use, citing lack of evidence.
Now, a blockbuster study released last week by Europe's leading food safety authority, EFSA, has for the first time labeled clothianidin as an "unacceptable" danger to bees.2
The EFSA study could be a major breakthrough to convince the EPA to take emergency action, and suspend the use of clothianidin to stop the precipitous decline in global honeybee populations.
In addition to finding clothianidin too dangerous to use on plants pollinated by bees, EFSA's study specifically identifies as too flawed to be useful the shoddy studies provided by pesticide manufacturer Bayer as evidence of clothianidin's safety.3
It was these sham studies that EPA used to first approve clothianidin in 2003, even against the objections of EPA's own scientists.4
The pesticide, which is used to treat seeds like corn and canola, expresses itself through the plants' pollen and nectar — the honeybee's favorite sources of food. Clothianidin is in a class of pesticides called neonicotinoids, which are relatively new, and their use coincides with the rise of colony collapse.
If EPA does not take emergency action now, it won't review clothianidin again until 2018.
Given the rate of colony collapse, and the indispensable role that pollinators play in our food system — pollinating one-third of our food crops and providing literally billions of dollars in economic benefit — it would be stunningly irresponsible of EPA to continue allowing the use of this dangerous pesticide for at least another five years.
Click below to automatically sign the petition urging EPA to take immediate action now:


Thank you for speaking out for the bees.

Todays Post--Thus far.

Yesterday, the Pentagon announced it would lift a ban on women in combat. Today, conservatives lost their minds

Ryan Smith of the Wall Street Journal, a former Marine Infantryman 
Peeing in front of women will  humiliate men. Why does Leon Panetta want to humiliate men?
Societal norms are a reality, and their maintenance is important to most members of a society. It is humiliating enough to relieve yourself in front of your male comrades; one can only imagine the humiliation of being forced to relieve yourself in front of the opposite sex.
And men’s humiliation will humiliate women:
In the reverse, it would be painful to witness a member of the opposite sex in such an uncomfortable and awkward position.
Oh, and unit cohesion, which apparently still exists even though it was supposed to go extinct the moment gays started serving openly: Combat effectiveness is based in large part on unit cohesion. The relationships among members of a unit can be irreparably harmed by forcing them to violate societal norms.

Of all the arguments, this is the one that I, personally, found most funny. After all, two of my former cleaning jobs--one at Lutheran West High School and the other at St. Paul Lutheran Church /Elementary School, both involved me, cleaning restrooms. At both schools, the biggest challenge was keeping the men out of the restrooms, no matter how many signs were up, no matter how blocked the door ways were or how many time this woman met them at the door; they would still come in with their sons and do their business; Unless there was someone standing if front of the restroom and tell the men that it was being cleaned and to please use another restroom, but even that did not stop all the men from entering, just because a woman was there--That Was The One and Only Effective way to keep men out of the men's room, who could not understand why they could not use it, just because the cleaning woman is there.  I confess all I saw was their back, come to think of it, I did not want to see any more than that. Oh, If only more men were like Ryan Smith, maybe I would not have had so many problems keeping the men and their sons out of the men's restroom, There Were So Many Times That I could have gotten my job done a whole lot faster if there were not so many interruptions.

Yesterday, I wrote to you about how Governor John Kasich's hand-picked State School Board President Debe Terhar had posted a picture to Facebook comparing President Obama's national dialogue on preventing gun violence to Hitler
Rather than immediately apologize for her shameful act, Terhar defended her posting, claiming it wasn't a comparison. Now Governor Kasich has come out to say she just made a "mistake" and he plans to look the other way and let her off the hook.
Governor Kasich has a duty to show some leadership and hold his hand-picked School Board President accountable for her Hitler post, and for  failing to immediately and unequivocally apologize. "Mistakes" happen, but Terhar continues to justify the content of her post. We can't allow someone that has such a radical view of right and wrong to run our State School Board and influence the education of our children.
In the face of increasing calls from other groups for action, another Kasich School Board appointee, C. Todd Jones, actually had the nerve to downplay Terhar's Hitler reference, stating the "Facebook post [is] in the lower third of the 'scale of impropriety.'" These comments are dangerous, and it's sad that the Governor continues to protect one of his political cronies instead of doing the right thing.
With your help, we'll force the Governor to finally hold Terhar accountable for her comments.

Dear Readers, I am passing on this e-mail and petition, because as a Mother of two grown men, the thought that School Shooting Should Become 'as normal' to prepare for, such as Tornadoes or Fires, which all sadly happen, because accidents happen--Is InSanity. Accidents and Bad Weather happens, but Shootings--Shootings?!?!?!?!?!?---SHOOTINGS CAN BE AND MUST BE PREVENTED!!!!!

Do not perform a live shooting drill with a masked gunman at the Burleson Elementary School
Sign Dondi's Petition
Started by: Dondi, Hartselle, Alabama
This type of drill, where a pretend gunman comes into the school with a fake gun, is mentally detrimental to elementary-aged school children. I believe a lockdown of the school is sufficient enough. No child deserves to be involved in a situation where someone is even PRETENDING to threaten their lives. As a parent of a 1st grader at F.E. Burleson, I believe this can only cause more harm than good. No one can ever prepare themselves enough for a devastation such as a school shooting. It is the parents' jobs to teach their children about these disasters as THEY see fit for their own child. It should not be decided by a Board of Education or any other group. I fear that this may cause serious, traumatic mental damage to these children, causing them to go to school every day in fear, WAITING for a gunman to show up. I believe that faculty and staff should have this drill on the weekend, or perhaps a Teacher Work Day, when there are no children present.  Also, the parents were never notified of this possible decision, nor were we even informed that this was being contemplated.  We found out through the news and on Facebook.

But that was the question that I asked myself again and again when I read The New York Times‘s story about the Steubenville High School football team rape case.
The Sad Reality is that we are talking Steubenville, Ohio.

+ The NRA actually got a program passed to help people whose gun purchasing rights were revoked petition for them to be restored.
