Fighting to Protect the Bears Ears National Monument
Fighting to Protect the Bears Ears National Monument: Pres. Trump’s action to revoke & replace Bears Ears Monument is an attack on tribes with regional ties and an affront to millions who support public lands.
Act Now: Impeach, please?
Sample letter you can alter and/or send to your Congress Persons: Hello. Republicans disregard the Constitution and support Trump international organized crime family instead. Given the President’s conduct, Congress had no choice but to open an impeachment inquiry. This is a grave step, necessary to defend our nation, it's Constitution and people.
The call record and testimony from top Trump officials show that what the President did was both wrong and illegal. He asked Ukraine to interfere in American elections, blocked military aid to a U.S. ally, tied those two together in a bribery scheme for his personal benefit, and obstructed Congress to cover it up.
The question now is whether congressional Republicans will honor their oaths and hold the President accountable. If instead they vote to put this president above the law, that would put our democracy and our system of checks and balances in great jeopardy.
President Trump does not respect his oath or our laws. He broke multiple laws to try and cheat to win next year’s election. When he gets caught breaking rules, he often avoids accountability by breaking even more rules. If our members of Congress vote to put him above the law by not voting for impeachment, he will feel free to continue abusing his office and altering American policy for his own financial and political benefit. There is no telling what he might try to do next; except continuing his continual crime spree. Thanks for your time and attention. Yours Truly,

climate emergency is the worst problem for all globally. Exactly, even though violence is a delusional direction and more than exponentially worse than the illusion of non-violence’s illusory direction, “…we(e),…” must still struggle with the illusion of non-violence, whilst walking it’s path; no? Yes, what we possess can possesses us, and greed, as well as it's God avarice, are aweful; yet, those perspectives have been defined by our historically flawed paradigms. For e.g., the bi-polar axi of global supposed power, totalitarian, socialist (which are notsee, materialist also) and notsee, republican, capitalist (which are totalitarian, materialist also), while mirroring each other, are also just a two pronged spearhead of the global oligarchy; based on the non-renewable energy sources industrial complexes directives- unending unnecessary global war making the biggest carbon bootprint. Their dictating that fossil fuels, specifically, be 'used' predominently has determined all technocracies socio-economic interlocking and laced systems are based on scarcity, the devolutionary direction's opposite of the evolutionary one's abundance; which is nature, reality's base, instead. That has determined that your run of the mill, everyday greed is the problem; for, in a world where "...we(e),..." walked in nature's balance, giving back to it's abundance, using only renewable energy sources, greed of that kind wouldn't be as problematic- no? How dare you corporate agents, like Jonathan Franzen? Humanity has placed on the curent and upcoming generations the unexercised responsibility of their great, grand, and fathers on their shoulders, they must exercise the responsibility for six generations at once; now you dare to say even if they can succeed you won't let them- you must extinct the species with you meism, extremism, narcissism, nihilism, materialism, avarice, criminal insanity? How would you describe the differences between you and the typically described devil? You think the billions are going to let you premeditatedly murder them because you've forgotten how, or decided to not be, human, or even life itself? Evolution demands we adapt to reality, not the wants of the global oligarchy, the worldly world; which you are preaching for. The impetus behind the evolution, volition, will to live, not being destroyed by you yet, demands we live; it's called a heart, gloogle it. The corporate structure's convolution programming all to be somewhere on the extinction highway, in the direction of devolution, has no right to continue that or to propagandize their criminal insanity anymore! The multi-media conspiracy, "...we(e),..."'s airwaves, must be expropriated by the people for the will of The Earth- every channel must give an hour before work and an hour after workers get home, daily, to the people's programming! Just because you don't know how, or have forgotten how to be, doesn't mean trillions of living beings must die. Darwin said it best, evolve or die; and you can commit suicide if you like, "...we(e),..." will not only be alival instead of survival, but, we will strive, thrive and defeat your defeatism, forever. Yes, it's a climate emergency. Hear, hear, growing in the evolution isn't only forever, it's every millisecond. Never lay down when you fall. Billionaires stealing food from the mouths of babes; disgusting. Don't allow any cuts to the minimum an advanced society can do for the hungry, here the program SNAP; please. Viva la evolucion :) reality

'Story Behind Dylan Thomas’s “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night”'...
...and the Poet’s Own Stirring Reading of His Masterpiece, “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”:
BY MARIA POPOVA: “Poetry can break open locked chambers of possibility, restore numbed zones to feeling, recharge desire,” Adrienne Rich wrote in contemplating what poetry does. “In so far as poetry has a social function it is to awaken sleepers by other means than shock,” Denise Levertov asserted in her piercing statement on poetics. Few poems furnish such a wakeful breaking open of possibility more powerfully than “Do not go gentle into that good night” — a rapturous ode to the unassailable tenacity of the human spirit by the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (October 27, 1914–November 9, 1953). Written in 1947, Thomas’s masterpiece was published for the first time in the Italian literary journal Botteghe Oscure in 1951 and soon included in his 1952 poetry collection In Country Sleep, And Other Poems. In the fall of the following year, Thomas — a self-described “roistering, drunken and doomed poet” — drank himself into a coma while on a reading and lecture tour in America organized by the American poet and literary critic John Brinnin, who would later become his biographer of sorts. That spring, Brinnin had famously asked his assistant, Liz Reitell — who had had a three-week romance with Thomas — to lock the poet into a room in order to meet a deadline for the completion of his radio drama turned stage play 'Under Milk Wood', Dylan Thomas, early 1940's. In early November of 1953, as New York suffered a burst of air pollution that exacerbated his chronic chest illness, Thomas succumbed to a round of particularly heavy drinking. When he fell ill, Reitell and her doctor attempted to manage his symptoms, but he deteriorated rapidly. At midnight on November 5, an ambulance took the comatose Thomas to St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York. His wife, Caitlin Macnamara, flew from England and spun into a drunken rage upon arriving at the hospital where the poet lay dying. After threatening to kill Brinnin, she was put into a straitjacket and committed to a private psychiatric rehab facility. When Thomas died at noon on November, it fell on New Directions founder James Laughlin to identify the poet’s body at the morgue. Just a few weeks later, New Directions published The Collected Poems of Dylan Thomas (public library), containing the work Thomas himself had considered most representative of his voice as a poet and, now, of his legacy — a legacy that has continued to influence generations of writers, artists, and creative mavericks: Bob Dylan changed his last name from Zimmerman in an homage to the poet, The Beatles drew his likeness onto the cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Christopher Nolan made “Do not go gentle into that good night” a narrative centerpiece of his film Interstellar. Upon receiving news of Thomas’s death, the poet Elizabeth Bishop wrote in an astonished letter to a friend: It must be true, but I still can’t believe it — even if I felt during the brief time I knew him that he was headed that way… Thomas’s poetry is so narrow — just a straight conduit between birth & death, I suppose—with not much space for living along the way. In another letter to her friend Marianne Moore, Bishop further crystallized Thomas’s singular genius: I have been very saddened, as I suppose so many people have, by Dylan Thomas’s death… He had an amazing gift for a kind of naked communication that makes a lot of poetry look like translation. Dylan Thomas is that rare thing, a poet who has it in him to allow us, particularly those of us who are coming to poetry for the first time, to believe that poetry might not only be vital in itself but also of some value to us in our day-to-day lives. It’s no accident, surely, that Dylan Thomas’s “Do not go gentle into that good night” is a poem which is read at two out of every three funerals. We respond to the sense in that poem, as in so many others, that the verse engine is so turbocharged and the fuel of such high octane that there’s a distinct likelihood of the equivalent of vertical liftoff. Dylan Thomas’s poems allow us to believe that we may be transported, and that belief is
itself transporting."....
Do not go gentle into that good night
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Dylan Thomas - 1914-1953

Tell Governor Northam to Keep His Promise on Natural Resources Funding
Tell Governor Northam to Keep His Promise on Natural Resources Funding: In 2018, Governor Northam made a bold commitment to dedicate 2 percent of the state budget to protecting our state’s natural resources. The biennial budget is his opportunity to realize this ambitious goal. Governor Northam has the opportunity to protect our air, water, and land and make certain that Virginia steps into the next decade as a leader on protecting the environment.
By increasing the percentage of the general fund that is designated for natural resources, we can strengthen and continue the vital work that is necessary to ensure cleaner air and water, improved wildlife habitat, and more land for all Virginians to enjoy. Our state agencies will also have the resources they need to hold polluters accountable in Virginia.
Join us in calling on Northam to keep his promise on conservation funding. Without added resources now, our air, land, and water remain at risk.

My reply and follow-up comments to a reply to it: Very fine work, about 85 % accurate; I'm impressed. Yet, scientists not struggling against the definition of evolution as history? Not acknowledging that supposed science has denied the commonality of the corporate structure's convolution's devolutionary direction (based on determined scarcity) vs. the evolution's evolutionary (based on nature's abundance) direction? No talk of the evolution, when humanity needs to make an evolutionary leap in order to avoid the dictated extinction of it? A cityscape. Hands only put to heart, beings only art. Viva la evolucion. Thanx for all you do; have a great day :) reality
Robin, Thanx for replying. As a scientist, because she's dealing with inspiring, if not leading, for she's part of the supposed science supremacy with all that means, the youth in their attempts to stop their having to watch their kids die before their eyes at 20 from climate change emergency, etc., she has the inherent responsibility to inform them of these issues; or, she could be construed for another 'progressed' type of convolutionary for the corporate structure's convolution- digging the extinction hole deeper in the only way they find they can (without overt objection, etc.), etc., no? For e.g., third only to the oligarchy and the supposed Christian supremacy, the supposed science supremacy is central to dictating the extinction of humanity, large mammals and Earth-murder to total destruction of the Earth (if not all the inner planets of our Solar System). "...It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain..." (Elton John, from his great album and song, 'Empty Garden'), one instant can damage so much Grace, yet, abominable that only 400 years of supposed science, one instant, evolutionarily, destroyed what it took the evolution 15 billion years to create, us, Earth! Extinction is forever and no one will wear it well, the corporate structure's convolution need not con anyone, we let them steer our perceptions and ships. Instead, walking in nature's balance, giving back to her abundance, "...we(e)...", illimitable in potential, and indivisible as life, evince to be! All life are needed threads in the fabric of life, "...we(e),...", can't allow to be torn asunder. There's only one physical constant in the evolving Cosmos, constant change. reality

Sample letters to editor, advocacy to politicians and callscripts:
Subject: Trump's policies, destroying environments, demands all act on climate crisis:
Global technocracies permanently altering the weather cycles has determined that disasters are more frequent and severe, this should move you to understand that climate change is health, national security, and financial emergencies that must be addressed now. For e.g., the death and devastation inflicted on Bahamians by Hurricane Dorian, and the likelihood of more such extreme storms as climate change grows.
That's why I've written this letter in response to your recent article on the subject, voicing my support for the millions of young people who are participating in climate strikes in over 160 countries around the world. In my opine, we can and should acknowledge that they face a frightening future and applaud their vision and leadership for climate action; as well as embrace their sense of urgency.
I hope your readers will come to understand that climate change is already impacting all of us, and that we all need to respond. Please, neighbors, elected officials, who keep a close eye on this newspaper,
we can figure out how we can all help secure a livable climate for our kids and grandkids. Whether it’s transitioning to clean, safe, renewable energy and energy efficiency, driving less and walking or taking public transit more, or urging our elected representatives to. As a community, our taking strong, bold climate action will increase all of our senses that hope lies in taking action, thereby motivating more action; potentially solving these problems- while our renewable fuel industries make billions doing so, and we get vast amount of jobs, etc..
Yours Truly, (include your address, phone #, so they can call to confirm it's your letter and get ok for publishing it)
Subject: Trump's destroying environments demands all act on climate now:

FCNL.org: Talking Points: With the recent releases of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s report and the 4 National Climate Assessment, the global scientific community has made it clear that man-made climate change is a real and growing threat. Our representatives must act.
There have been some encouraging developments recently. Last year, two federal carbon pricing bills were introduced with Republican Support and Congress extended renewable energy tax credits with bipartisan support. This is not enough. Congress must continue to prioritize climate issues.
As recent hurricanes, wildfires, and other extreme weather events have shown, climate change is already here. With a divided government for at least the next two years, Congress must set partisanship aside and make bipartisan climate action a priority. There is no Plan B. Make sure to mention local events if possible, and your legislator by name.
Yours Truly, (include your address, phone #, so they can call to confirm it's your letter and get ok for publishing it)

Ask your political representatives to call for Investigating Brett Kavanaugh, callscript:
Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I am from [CITY/STATE]. I'm calling Representative/Senator [NAME] to urge them to publicly support impeachment proceedings against Justice Brett Kavanaugh immediately. While Kavanaugh should never have been confirmed, recently corroborated allegations against Kavanaugh further demonstrate that he is unfit to serve on the Supreme Court.

Exactly, Marianne Williamson Is Best to Foster Healing in a Post-Trump America: Sign petition, then Daily Kos Poll at the end:

I agree with Russel Brand in his recent talk with Marianne. Yes, the criminally insane medical industrial complex must "heal thyself" first! Also, if we stop the whole world's burning, by stopping the advancement of the climate destruction now by abolishing fossil fuels use, we will also abolish global defacto-slavery hoisted, like a yoke on everybody's necks when they're born (dictated by the global fossil fuels industrial complexes). :) reality Copy, share as you will.
