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:
https://act.fcnl.org/lte/Write_letter_editor_asking_rep_act_climate_change/?action_id=3010854&akid=.9329.AudY8H&ar=1&rd=1
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.

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.

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.

Twigs of activism poetree :)
Serial Murderers Masquerading As Cops, Unending Unnecessary Global War Against Men
Barack, tpping on lower... to poor, calling it rain, part of the convolution's $ war, crime
Or army, jail or join equals crypt, bodybag filler galore, only merx/more, mercs/war, live.
If You're Not Taking Bullets, You're Making Them, Lesson From WWII
Sadly, "...it's funny how one insect can damage
So much grain...", how 400 years of religion
Of scientism, one instant, evolutionarily, in the life
Of the Universe, can extinct all life, Earth,
Destroy all grace. Finally, humanity without a trace.
Or, will you leave no footprints, that followed
None, which will echo in all ways, always?
Mothball NASA now, before it ends all. reality
(Thanx to Elton John for the above quote from his great song, 'Empty Garden', a tribute to John Lennon)
Oligarchy Doesn't Need You, To Kill All Life, The Evolution Does To Stop Them
Christian ISIS, Taliban leaders met, Christian Pope, 12 headed (supremacies)
Beast of Revelations, Dino-In-Chief, concurring on their continuing king george
And his dick, cheney's, global, "crusading, unending, war against axis of evil
Nations", that aren't. Roman Catholic imperial lies swallowed whole, death of
All, US, if you're not taking bullets, you're making them to be 'used' against Life.
Years later, The D.I.C., still TPPing on "...we(e),..." and calling it rain, machinated
In his last S.O.T.U. that the united suck of assassins is, "...unarmed truth and
Unconditional love...", for the corporate structure's convolution, the biggest lie
Since the religion of scientism dictated that, "it will save US", when it's ending
All advanced life in the Cosmos, that we know of, and the Earth, instead.
'La machine', unpowers that unbe, divining vacuity through their closest thing
To a devil that has ever existed, the remocrats/dempublicans psychic terrorism,
"The suck", won't undo the Cosmoses abundance with their scarcity based inter:
Locking, laced societal systems, will ebony and ivory supremacies working in
Perfect harmony, divide, life indivisible, conquer, potential illimitable, you?
Humanity Has Devolved Into The Tool, Technology The Hand, It's Our Last Stand
We're not mecha, we're orga, you can't quid pro quo us into being your merxs for more, mercs for war, anymore. Climbing down this cliff wall, wading river, climbing up the other side, I go across the bridge, without, for, we don't 'cross bridges when we come to them', we blow them up, as convenience doesn't further. They tell you to make your mark, dream,.get your piece of the plymouth crack rock, their missive, 'the future waits for no man', is inapplicable, as their linear, first conclusion, superficial thought processes are inexplicable, while it does eagerly await the evolving of the evolution. Ignorance or being sheep isn't next to Godliness, cowering to the notsees who raped you as kids won't lead to go along to get along mediocre success, it's suicide you're stretching over your future, survival will never be alival, The intellect can't lead for the life doesn't follow. Being growing more day by day, a lifelong student, is the only requirement for an unending sojourn of wonder, filled with the "art of feeling awe, discipline" (Castaneda). Stalking oneself can lead to stalking reality, that "razor's edge" of co-creation, grace, which one can't seek, as it seeks you, for, there are no un or mistaken footsteps left behind, and we leave no footprints that will echo in all ways, always.
(Inspired by Fu Ta Shih's (497-573), following poem: "Empty handed he holds a hoe, Walking across a bridge while riding a buffalo, It's the bridge, not the river, which flows.")
No One Must Be Conned, Divide, Conquer Only Works On The Divided, Life's Indivisible, Your Potential Illimitable, Be
Sad day, as 'we(e)' mourn the tragic loss of Ali, 'the greatest of all time', whose still 'floating like a butterfly and
Stinging like a bee', we remember his black leadership, advocacy, and he will be sorely missed. A best who was
Called by Muhammad, all praise be upon him, Allah's Messenger, he easily rose to the occasion. There were snags
Along the way, being real, he rose above. As we mourn his loss, we're reminded, an injustice to any is an injustice
To all, and if it isn't addressed individually, it becomes a global, as well. You can't struggle with the man's house
Using the man's tools (Audrey Lourdes), be the change you want in the world, root of all oppression lies in science
(Gandhi). If responsibility isn't exercised, its Siamese twin sister, freedom, withers like an unused muscle also,
Due to self-possession, it needs to be exorcised first. While Dino-In-Chief's tpping on US, calling it rain, don't forget
Why 'we(e)' struggled against nafta, cafta, all that came afta, corporate structure's convolution's devolutionary
Direction doesn't need help dictating the extinction of all life, the evolution does in order to stop them. reality
N'er Stray From, You, Living Truth
Not walking the walk, waves spraying our faces,
As beach's edge, ever changes,
We, Sun, sky, Earth, Moon, sea, meet.
Breezing through the strong breeze,
The fuller our lungs, the lighter we'd run,
It, was to be..., with ease.
As reality, she, I, stalked ourselves
In those shells echoing silences,
Like one slip on a rock, to the next, well.
Sitting still, we glistened,
Sun splashing through us,
The ocean's, our salt, were one.
Her thoughts, mine, flowed,
Our feelings were its ebb and flow.
Nature, true, wouldn't be unsung.
That blue gray cloudy day found us in the end.
Finding it by moon's ray, our ears to waves did lend.
It was as our footprints,
Truly there, 'til waves did gently lift.
For, if it were we held it,
Like sand grasped, it wouldn't be a gift.
Corp. Structure's Convolution's Devolutionary Direction Doesn't Need You, To Kill All Life
The Evolution does to stop them.
Sadly, "...it's funny how one insect
Can damage so much grain...",
How 400 years of the religion
Of scientism, one instant in Earth's life,
Can extinct all life and it,
Destroy so much grace.
Finally, humanity without a trace.
Or, will you leave no footprints,
That followed none,
Echoing in all ways, always,
Calm the sea of suffering,
Evolutionarily?
Hawking fabricates, "...life is machine...",
Like Professor Memsy and his memes,
Contrivance meant to demean, con,
For control and the convolution.
Life's self-replicating, not la machine,
Machinating in its twisted coil,
To convolute human is just...,
Not illimitable potentially,
And indivisible, living alival,
Not survival, human be-ing.
"We(e),..." mothball NASA, or rich, it, end us.
You, phoenix, ever rising, embrace the wind,
Soar above the clouds, be your trueself to be.
Feelings, Reeling In The Living Art, Unbeckon
Betwixt words,
Weaving paths of study,
Between lines,
Flowing within its own
Rhythms, rhymes,
A birthplace is divined,
A twig of poetree to be,
Becoming, in chrysalis,
Being you, evoking.
If One Lives As Prayer,
The light that guides, the candle within,
Once lite in lieu of cursing the darkness,
Ever adding to the well of light,
Directs every step in grace,
Which follows none,
Leaving no footprints,
Echoing in all ways,
Always.
To Not Err Is Human Too
Memories of cement wave through my soma, steeling,
As their daggers dig new holes in realities' fabric,
"We(e),...", can't allow to be torn asunder,
They plunder what isn't, missing is,
Mountaintop removal isn't biz'.

What would Dr. King say about the Supreme Court decision that gives corporations the same rights as people in election campaigns? He would say that civil rights are for people not corporations. He would say these are not the “voting rights” people gave their lives for.

The decision is disputed by Samburu people who were evicted from the property last year when former president Daniel arap Moi sold it to the African Wildlife Foundation.

Guatemalan Congress Ends Term with Promises Broken
With the 2011 elections over, Guatemala's new President and Congress will take office this weekend on January 14th. The term in office ends after four years of promises that never amounted to the passage of the community radio bill 4087. A recent editorial highlights Congress' failure to pass the bill, as well as the general disregard for the needs and concerns of Indigenous Peoples, due to what he calls a lack of political will.

“The time has come for the Occupy Movement to Occupy AIPAC.” - Adbusters
The pro-Israeli government lobby AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) is gunning for a war with Iran— just like they pushed us into the catastrophic war in Iraq. And their manipulation of our political process destroys the possibility of a just peace for Palestinians and Israelis.
Join us March 2-6 in Washington, DC as we Occupy AIPAC during their annual policy conference. We’ll have a Summit on Iran, Palestine and the Arab Uprisings, as well as workshops, cultural performances, film showings, protests and creative direct actions. Register now.
And there’s another way you can call for peace with Iran. Help us take out a full-page ad in the influential DC newspaper—The Hill. We’ll send a clear message to Congress that AIPAC does not represent the majority of Americans who won’t want another war in the Middle East. If you can donate $100 or more, we’ll include your name in the ad.
Now is the time to make a large, people-powered push to show our opposition to the stranglehold the Israel lobby continues to hold over our government. In this new year, let's make sure the US doesn't launch into a new war!
Say no to AIPAC. Say no to war with Iran. Say no to Israeli occupation. Speak out for peace and justice.

Bernie Buzz: Where Do We Go From Here?:
As a new year dawned, Bernie laid out a bold agenda for the coming year. "The American people want action. They want their government to start representing the 99 percent, not just the top 1 percent," he said. As people struggle through the worst economy since the Great Depression, he added, the top priority must be creating jobs by rebuilding our infrastructure and transforming our energy system.

Stop Postal Service Cuts
One of the first items on the Senate agenda in the new year will be Postal Service reform. Prodded by Bernie, the Postal Service agreed to a five-month moratorium on closing post offices and slashing 100,000 jobs. That gives Congress until May 15 to consider Bernie's Postal Service Protection Act and other reforms. "The post office must adapt to the challenges of the digital age, but we must do it in a way that makes it stronger and more responsible to the needs of consumers and not just cut, cut, cut," Bernie told an American Legion hall packed with 500 people.

Bernie has been a leader in the fight to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. As chairman of the Senate Subcomittee on Primary Health and Aging, he also is working on reauthorizing the Older Americans Act. This landmark law created Meals on Wheels and other programs for seniors. The investment in nutrition services to keep seniors healthy more than pays for itself in reduced health care costs, Bernie told Vermont Public Radio.

Action Page: Junk SOPA, plus bulk Occupy America bumper stickers:
Though not as heinous on its face as some other legislation we have
seen pushed in Congress lately, the so-called Stop Online Piracy Act
(SOPA) would take a giant ax to the roots of the internet in an
attempt to a deal with a problem up the branches somewhere.
Junk SOPA Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1091.php
The bill is so poorly written and vague in its definitions that it
would potentially criminalize innocent behavior, an open door to
selective prosecutions. Worse yet, it would give single troll
complainers the power to completely and unilaterally shut down
websites on false accusations, and force those sites to engage in
lengthy legal battles to restore themselves.
Even those who originally supported the concept of SOPA are appalled
at the blunderbuss tactics of the bill as presented, and Congress
must go back to the drawing board, with the input of those who really
know how the internet works, to come up with a bill that will not do
more harm than good.
Though advertised as a bipartisan bill, on closer inspection only two
Democratic sponsors were initial sponsors, Schiff and Berman, whose
districts include all the big Hollywood movie studios. What a
coincidence! And we should add, having just finished producing a
movie ourselves we have great sympathy for those who deserve to be
paid for their creative work, for how else can we righteously
compensate our valiant cast, crew and support people? But this SOPA
bill is absolutely the wrong way to do it.
And after you submit the action page you can now request a bulk order
of the new "Occupy America" bumper stickers that have been so very
popular. Demonstrate your support for the spreading occupy movements.
We are just asking about a dollar each in bulk to help cover our
costs, which include sending free single stickers to anyone who wants
one. We just got in the latest shipment and all remaining single
sticker requests are going out now. Here is a direct link to the bulk
order page.

Ask Mitt Romney: Will you ban birth control?:
Add your name to this petition to Mitt Romney.

"Do you support the right to contraception provided for by the Supreme Court ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut, which protected the right to privacy and ended the ability of states to prohibit the use of contraceptives?"
Learn more about this campaign
The latest battle in the War on Women is over birth control. That's right: the extreme anti-woman Religious Right want to make it legal to ban birth control.
And recently, Rick Santorum unequivocally stated that he opposes contraception and thinks states should be able to ban the use of contraceptives.1 But Mitt Romney, the other Republican frontrunner, has yet to explain his position on birth control.
More than 99% of women in America who are sexually active have used contraceptives.2 That is an astounding proportion of the electorate who would be directly affected by the legislative agenda of an anti-contraception president. We deserve to know whether Mitt Romney would work to deny those women the right to access birth control.
Does Mitt Romney want to make it constitutional to ban birth control in America? Demand a yes or no answer, sign the petition.
The right to use contraceptives was guaranteed in the Supreme Court ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut. This ruling guaranteed a right to privacy and deemed it unconstitutional to outlaw birth control.
The public has a right to know explicitly if Romney agrees with Santorum that Griswold should be overturned — and whether he would seek to overturn it through judicial appointments, legislation or constitutional amendments that would make it possible for states to ban birth control.
As a frontrunner for the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney very well could be the next President of the United States, and we know that anti-choice members of Congress will continue to push anti-contraceptive legislation. If a bill limiting access to contraception crosses his desk, Romney will have to choose whether to stop the attacks on the millions of women who use contraceptives.
The American people deserve a clear, unambiguous public statement regarding Romney's position on women's access to birth control.
Does Mitt Romney want to make it constitutional to ban birth control in America? Demand a yes or no answer.

home. We urge all supporters to print the resolution and send a
copy to your Members of Congress.

-------
Background: Native American activist Leonard Peltier was wrongfully
convicted in connection with the deaths of two agents of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Despite the courts' acknowledgment
of FBI and prosecutorial misconduct in the case, Peltier has been
imprisoned since 1976, currently at the U.S. Penitentiary at Coleman,
Florida.
The evidence shows that the FBI was the aggressor in the firefight
that occurred on June 26, 1975. From 1973 to 1976, Indigenous
People on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota were
victims of beatings, drive-by shootings, and stabbings carried out
by local vigilantes who collaborated with the FBI. Peltier and
other Indigenous activists were forced into a defensive posture
to protect not only their lives, but the lives of others who
were present-elders, women, and children. Indeed, Mr. Peltier's
co-defendants, tried separately, were acquitted on grounds of
self-defense.
The evidence also clearly shows that the U.S. government's goal
was to orchestrate Mr. Peltier's conviction by any means-including
falsifying extradition documents and intentionally committing fraud
on a Canadian court, as well as suppressing evidence of Mr. Peltier's
innocence during his trial. By the government's own admission,
the critical part of the prosecution's case against Mr. Peltier
was the ballistics testimony which, years after his conviction,
was discovered to be false.
You can help to free an innocent man. Learn more about the Peltier
case at http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info .

Special Announcement:
Joint Message from Friends of Peltier and the Leonard Peltier
Defense Offense Committee
22 December 2011
Friends and Supporters,
We wish you a happy holiday season. Enjoy your friends and family
and good times. May you and your loved ones be doubly blessed in
the coming year. We know you join us in wishing no less for Leonard
Peltier and his family.
The coming year will be an important one for Mr. Peltier. Now,
more than ever, unity will play a key role in winning Leonard's
freedom. Therefore, we're pleased to announce the merger of Friends
of Peltier with the Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee.
Soon, our mutual Web sites and mailing lists will be merged. Some
of the assets of Friends of Peltier will be discontinued (those
being primarily blogs and pages on social networks, so you may wish
to follow instead the LPDOC blog and pages on Facebook, MySpace,
Twitter and Google+). This merger should be somewhat seamless and
occur with a minimum of disruption.
Via the Free Peltier Now Coalition mailing list, be assured that
each of you will continue to receive announcements, information
about Leonard Peltier's case and his statements from prison, as
well as other pertinent information. Your mailing list subscription
will remain active unless you choose to unsubscribe. If you are
registered on both lists, we'll see to it that you don't receive
duplicate transmissions.
Current LPDOC subscribers will be added to the service used by
Friends of Peltier (due to ease of use and exemplary support
services, and all at a lower cost). Consequently, some of you may
receive a message asking you to verify your subscription. Simply
follow the directions in the verification message.
If you are currently on the Friends list, you should add
contact@whoisleonardpeltier.info to your address book to be certain
our messages are delivered to your e-mail inbox.
The Peltier support network will be bigger and better for this
action and we know you will bring the same level of commitment and
hard work to 2012 as you have to all you do and have always done on
Leonard's behalf. Remember, we are "Leonard's Legions," hundreds
of thousands of supporters in solidarity worldwide. We are united
in one purpose, speak with one voice: Free Leonard Peltier NOW!

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday to you, here's a Sample letter:
Hi. Yeah, according to the remocrats, not to be mistaken for the dempublicans, supposedly, when a man pulls out a person is born, and every company and corporation is also a person, with enumerable inalienable rights, yet, Newt bling Gingrich says kids have no right to education unfettered by required professional work, no right to a childhood unfettered by working a job; all remocrats say, middle-class to poor people have no rights to universal, quality, healthcare, jobs, clean air, water, soil that can grow food, etc.. They say the elderly have no right to the Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, they paid into, and for, their whole lives by being the fine Americans they were their whole lives, they want to privatize, personalize, or just do away with all our societies protections and services for the elderly. They say women have no rights to affordable healthcare, women’s healthcare, reproductive care, equal wages for equal work, etc.. They say, and are now trying to insist through legislation, that we don’t have the right to vote, unfettered by repressive exaggerated identification demands, by unnecessary and unaffordable fees that are tantamount to poll taxes; all attempts to reinstitute Jim Crowism- except universally now. Well, “we, the people…”, have news for the republicans, a twinkle in a man’s eye, and corporations, aren’t people and they don’t have inalienable rights, we do, and we’ll be voting to get that message across to them in November, 2012! Thanx. Goodbye.
Matutinally Yours,

Guatemalan Congress Ends Term with Promises Broken
With the 2011 elections over, Guatemala's new President and Congress will take office this weekend on January 14th. The term in office ends after four years of promises that never amounted to the passage of the community radio bill 4087. A recent editorial highlights Congress' failure to pass the bill, as well as the general disregard for the needs and concerns of Indigenous Peoples, due to what he calls a lack of political will.

“The time has come for the Occupy Movement to Occupy AIPAC.” - Adbusters
The pro-Israeli government lobby AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) is gunning for a war with Iran— just like they pushed us into the catastrophic war in Iraq. And their manipulation of our political process destroys the possibility of a just peace for Palestinians and Israelis.
Join us March 2-6 in Washington, DC as we Occupy AIPAC during their annual policy conference. We’ll have a Summit on Iran, Palestine and the Arab Uprisings, as well as workshops, cultural performances, film showings, protests and creative direct actions. Register now.
And there’s another way you can call for peace with Iran. Help us take out a full-page ad in the influential DC newspaper—The Hill. We’ll send a clear message to Congress that AIPAC does not represent the majority of Americans who won’t want another war in the Middle East. If you can donate $100 or more, we’ll include your name in the ad.
Now is the time to make a large, people-powered push to show our opposition to the stranglehold the Israel lobby continues to hold over our government. In this new year, let's make sure the US doesn't launch into a new war!
Say no to AIPAC. Say no to war with Iran. Say no to Israeli occupation. Speak out for peace and justice.

Bernie Buzz: Where Do We Go From Here?:
As a new year dawned, Bernie laid out a bold agenda for the coming year. "The American people want action. They want their government to start representing the 99 percent, not just the top 1 percent," he said. As people struggle through the worst economy since the Great Depression, he added, the top priority must be creating jobs by rebuilding our infrastructure and transforming our energy system.

Stop Postal Service Cuts
One of the first items on the Senate agenda in the new year will be Postal Service reform. Prodded by Bernie, the Postal Service agreed to a five-month moratorium on closing post offices and slashing 100,000 jobs. That gives Congress until May 15 to consider Bernie's Postal Service Protection Act and other reforms. "The post office must adapt to the challenges of the digital age, but we must do it in a way that makes it stronger and more responsible to the needs of consumers and not just cut, cut, cut," Bernie told an American Legion hall packed with 500 people.

Fighting for Senior Citizens
Bernie has been a leader in the fight to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. As chairman of the Senate Subcomittee on Primary Health and Aging, he also is working on reauthorizing the Older Americans Act. This landmark law created Meals on Wheels and other programs for seniors. The investment in nutrition services to keep seniors healthy more than pays for itself in reduced health care costs, Bernie told Vermont Public Radio.

Action Page: Junk SOPA, plus bulk Occupy America bumper stickers:
Though not as heinous on its face as some other legislation we have
seen pushed in Congress lately, the so-called Stop Online Piracy Act
(SOPA) would take a giant ax to the roots of the internet in an
attempt to a deal with a problem up the branches somewhere.
Junk SOPA Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1091.php
The bill is so poorly written and vague in its definitions that it
would potentially criminalize innocent behavior, an open door to
selective prosecutions. Worse yet, it would give single troll
complainers the power to completely and unilaterally shut down
websites on false accusations, and force those sites to engage in
lengthy legal battles to restore themselves.
Even those who originally supported the concept of SOPA are appalled
at the blunderbuss tactics of the bill as presented, and Congress
must go back to the drawing board, with the input of those who really
know how the internet works, to come up with a bill that will not do
more harm than good.
Though advertised as a bipartisan bill, on closer inspection only two
Democratic sponsors were initial sponsors, Schiff and Berman, whose
districts include all the big Hollywood movie studios. What a
coincidence! And we should add, having just finished producing a
movie ourselves we have great sympathy for those who deserve to be
paid for their creative work, for how else can we righteously
compensate our valiant cast, crew and support people? But this SOPA
bill is absolutely the wrong way to do it.
And after you submit the action page you can now request a bulk order
of the new "Occupy America" bumper stickers that have been so very
popular. Demonstrate your support for the spreading occupy movements.
We are just asking about a dollar each in bulk to help cover our
costs, which include sending free single stickers to anyone who wants
one. We just got in the latest shipment and all remaining single
sticker requests are going out now. Here is a direct link to the bulk
order page.

In the meantime we are getting attention in the progressive media. On

Harrison radio show in Los Angeles on KPFK to discuss these latest
developments. You can tune in from anywhere over the internet at

We'd also like you to know we are doing the final tweaks now on the
mix for the theme song for "The Last War Crime" movie and anticipate
getting it posted on iTunes in about a week. It would be wonderful if
we could make a splash on iTunes about the song, as a way of
introducing people to the movie itself. We pulled in the top rock and
roll and jazz studio musicians in Los Angeles for this, and the best
background singers on the planet, who have worked with everyone from
Natalie Cole to Phil Collins. It's one hopping rock and roll track
entitled, "It's A Crime", so please stay tuned for that.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.

Ask Mitt Romney: Will you ban birth control?:

"Do you support the right to contraception provided for by the Supreme Court ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut, which protected the right to privacy and ended the ability of states to prohibit the use of contraceptives?"
Learn more about this campaign
The latest battle in the War on Women is over birth control. That's right: the extreme anti-woman Religious Right want to make it legal to ban birth control.
And recently, Rick Santorum unequivocally stated that he opposes contraception and thinks states should be able to ban the use of contraceptives.1 But Mitt Romney, the other Republican frontrunner, has yet to explain his position on birth control.
More than 99% of women in America who are sexually active have used contraceptives.2 That is an astounding proportion of the electorate who would be directly affected by the legislative agenda of an anti-contraception president. We deserve to know whether Mitt Romney would work to deny those women the right to access birth control.
Does Mitt Romney want to make it constitutional to ban birth control in America? Demand a yes or no answer, sign the petition.
The right to use contraceptives was guaranteed in the Supreme Court ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut. This ruling guaranteed a right to privacy and deemed it unconstitutional to outlaw birth control.
The public has a right to know explicitly if Romney agrees with Santorum that Griswold should be overturned — and whether he would seek to overturn it through judicial appointments, legislation or constitutional amendments that would make it possible for states to ban birth control.
As a frontrunner for the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney very well could be the next President of the United States, and we know that anti-choice members of Congress will continue to push anti-contraceptive legislation. If a bill limiting access to contraception crosses his desk, Romney will have to choose whether to stop the attacks on the millions of women who use contraceptives.
The American people deserve a clear, unambiguous public statement regarding Romney's position on women's access to birth control.
Does Mitt Romney want to make it constitutional to ban birth control in America? Demand a yes or no answer.

-------
Background: Native American activist Leonard Peltier was wrongfully
convicted in connection with the deaths of two agents of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Despite the courts' acknowledgment
of FBI and prosecutorial misconduct in the case, Peltier has been
imprisoned since 1976, currently at the U.S. Penitentiary at Coleman,
Florida.
The evidence shows that the FBI was the aggressor in the firefight
that occurred on June 26, 1975. From 1973 to 1976, Indigenous
People on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota were
victims of beatings, drive-by shootings, and stabbings carried out
by local vigilantes who collaborated with the FBI. Peltier and
other Indigenous activists were forced into a defensive posture
to protect not only their lives, but the lives of others who
were present-elders, women, and children. Indeed, Mr. Peltier's
co-defendants, tried separately, were acquitted on grounds of
self-defense.
The evidence also clearly shows that the U.S. government's goal
was to orchestrate Mr. Peltier's conviction by any means-including
falsifying extradition documents and intentionally committing fraud
on a Canadian court, as well as suppressing evidence of Mr. Peltier's
innocence during his trial. By the government's own admission,
the critical part of the prosecution's case against Mr. Peltier
was the ballistics testimony which, years after his conviction,
was discovered to be false.
You can help to free an innocent man. Learn more about the Peltier
case at http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info .

Special Announcement:
Joint Message from Friends of Peltier and the Leonard Peltier
Defense Offense Committee
22 December 2011
Friends and Supporters,
We wish you a happy holiday season. Enjoy your friends and family
and good times. May you and your loved ones be doubly blessed in
the coming year. We know you join us in wishing no less for Leonard
Peltier and his family.
The coming year will be an important one for Mr. Peltier. Now,
more than ever, unity will play a key role in winning Leonard's
freedom. Therefore, we're pleased to announce the merger of Friends
of Peltier with the Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee.
Soon, our mutual Web sites and mailing lists will be merged. Some
of the assets of Friends of Peltier will be discontinued (those
being primarily blogs and pages on social networks, so you may wish
to follow instead the LPDOC blog and pages on Facebook, MySpace,
Twitter and Google+). This merger should be somewhat seamless and
occur with a minimum of disruption.
Via the Free Peltier Now Coalition mailing list, be assured that
each of you will continue to receive announcements, information
about Leonard Peltier's case and his statements from prison, as
well as other pertinent information. Your mailing list subscription
will remain active unless you choose to unsubscribe. If you are
registered on both lists, we'll see to it that you don't receive
duplicate transmissions.
Current LPDOC subscribers will be added to the service used by
Friends of Peltier (due to ease of use and exemplary support
services, and all at a lower cost). Consequently, some of you may
receive a message asking you to verify your subscription. Simply
follow the directions in the verification message.
If you are currently on the Friends list, you should add
contact@whoisleonardpeltier.info to your address book to be certain
our messages are delivered to your e-mail inbox.
The Peltier support network will be bigger and better for this
action and we know you will bring the same level of commitment and
hard work to 2012 as you have to all you do and have always done on
Leonard's behalf. Remember, we are "Leonard's Legions," hundreds
of thousands of supporters in solidarity worldwide. We are united
in one purpose, speak with one voice: Free Leonard Peltier NOW!

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday to you, here's a Sample letter:
Hi. Yeah, according to the remocrats, not to be mistaken for the dempublicans, supposedly, when a man pulls out a person is born, and every company and corporation is also a person, with enumerable inalienable rights, yet, Newt bling Gingrich says kids have no right to education unfettered by required professional work, no right to a childhood unfettered by working a job; all remocrats say, middle-class to poor people have no rights to universal, quality, healthcare, jobs, clean air, water, soil that can grow food, etc.. They say the elderly have no right to the Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, they paid into, and for, their whole lives by being the fine Americans they were their whole lives, they want to privatize, personalize, or just do away with all our societies protections and services for the elderly. They say women have no rights to affordable healthcare, women’s healthcare, reproductive care, equal wages for equal work, etc.. They say, and are now trying to insist through legislation, that we don’t have the right to vote, unfettered by repressive exaggerated identification demands, by unnecessary and unaffordable fees that are tantamount to poll taxes; all attempts to reinstitute Jim Crowism- except universally now. Well, “we, the people…”, have news for the republicans, a twinkle in a man’s eye, and corporations, aren’t people and they don’t have inalienable rights, we do, and we’ll be voting to get that message across to them in November, 2012! Thanx. Goodbye.
Matutinally Yours,

Urgent: Innocent man about to be executed:
Dear MoveOn member,
Troy Davis could be executed as soon as September 21, 2011, for a crime he did not commit. Davis is on death row in Georgia for the 1991 murder of police officer Mark MacPhail. However, since his conviction, seven of the nine witnesses who testified against him have recanted and no physical evidence links Davis to the crime.
No one should be executed when there are so many doubts about guilt. It is more important than ever that we continue to let Georgia authorities know that we oppose any effort to execute Troy Davis.
That's why I created a petition to the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles on SignOn.org, which says:
We, the undersigned, call on Georgia authorities to take all steps necessary to ensure that Troy Anthony Davis is not executed. Seven of the nine witnesses have changed their story and no physical evidence links Davis to the crime. No one should be executed, especially when there are so many doubts about guilt.
Will you sign the petition? Click here to add your name, and then pass it along to your friends:

Another way to help Troy Davis:
There could be one more avenue to help save Troy Davis from execution on Wednesday September 21 — but to take advantage of it, we need you to speak out now, and ask your friends and family to take action as well.
We've learned that Chatham County District Attorney Larry Chisolm, who asked a judge to issue Troy's death warrant, can also ask the judge to take it back. This move would be a game-changer — but it'll only happen if he feels more pressure from us to do the right thing than he feels from all those in Savannah calling for Troy's death.
Click the link below to automatically sign the petition to District Attorney Larry Chisolm, which reads:
"Based on the major, persistent doubts about his guilt, I call on you to seek a withdrawal of the death warrant against Troy Davis and to support clemency in his case."

Mounting doubts about the evidence against Troy Davis include seven of the nine witnesses recanting their testimony and the statements by several of the witnesses that they were pressured by the police to identify Troy Davis as the murderer of off-duty police officer Mark Allen MacPhail in 1989. Of the two remaining witnesses, one is the initial suspect.

Indigenous Rights: Four Years Since Historic UN Vote:
Fourth Anniversary of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
http://www.culturalsurvival.org/
Greetings to all our friends,
In the shadow of the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, many people failed to recognize another significant event. Four years ago, on September 13, 2007, the United Nations General Assembly signed into existence the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
The adoption of this declaration spanned and encompassed continents and has become a universal agreement for Indigenous Peoples rights and a blueprint for how Indigenous People worldwide should be treated. Meticulously detailed and crafted, the UNDRIP seeks to affirm and empower people who for centuries have systematically faced genocide and have continually experienced human rights violation.
As Indigenous Peoples, our voices finally became quite clear through the 46 articles within the declaration. These articles were created specifically to protect our lands, languages, traditions and cultures and our right to self-determination as Peoples. Yet, Indigenous Peoples still need to advocate for UNDRIP's complete implementation.
Extractive industries and human rights violations continue to plague us and we must be ever vigilant and assertive of our rights. This is nothing new for us. For centuries, Indigenous Peoples have struggled to keep safe the affirmations of life that matter most to us: harmony, respect, relationships, hope, and dignity.
For many who are not Indigenous, these are abstract and untenable values that are not considered where corporate or government interests are concerned. We must remind these people. We must remind them that these are values we have written into UNDRIP and we intend to have them nurtured and brought to life at every opportunity.
As this fourth anniversary of UNDRIP unfolds, Cultural Survival asks its members to think about ways in which we all, as human beings, might further these life-affirming values.
We ask that you stand behind the message that Cultural Survival continues to send: we are all part of the human community and inextricably linked. The importance of UNDRIP's vision is simple, yet profoundly necessary for the sustainability of communities everywhere.

An expedition to the Arctic:
The impact of the melt outside my porthole will also be felt far beyond the Arctic Circle. The sea ice is vital, not just for the polar bears, but for all of us; it acts as the world's air conditioning system.
The great Arctic melt should be a wake up call. Instead, it's being seen as a chance for oil companies - led by Cairn - to grab the last drops of the fuels that caused the ice to shrink in the first place.
Greenpeace is campaigning to halt climate change and protect the Arctic. Thank you for being a part of that campaign.
If you haven't already done so, please ask Greenland's government to cancel Cairn's oil drilling programme.

A cry for help from the Arctic:
Today, our planet is sending us a loud cry for help. Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean has reached its second lowest extent in recorded history - the lowest ever was just four years ago.
Like miners who used canaries to warn of deadly gases, we have the extent and volume of this ice to warn us of climate change. This warning is loud and clear: if we continue with business as usual, we put our planet in peril.

40 years:
Dear friends,
In 1971, a small group of activists set sail from Vancouver Canada to bear witness to US underground nuclear testing. Armed with little more than a belief in the power of individuals, their actions marked the birth of Greenpeace.
Today marks the 40th anniversary of Greenpeace. It is a milestone occasion, which would never have been possible without the unwavering support of millions of people worldwide who share our vision of a green and peaceful future. People like you.

Thank you so much.
Join us in celebrating our anniversary through personal action. Here's how:
1. Our ship, the Arctic Sunrise, is at the edge of the receding sea ice, bearing witness to the effects of climate change on that fragile ecosystem. Join them in calling for a greener future by signing this petition against Arctic oil drilling. Every voice counts.

Green Party, Responding to President Obama's September 8th Address, Calls 'Green New Deal' the Key to Job Creation
http://www.gp.org/press/pr-national.php?ID=446
Responding to President Obama's speech Thursday night, the Green Party today called for a 'Green New Deal' to put Americans back to work while helping the US transition to a carbon-free green economy.
Green Party leaders said that President Obama's new jobs proposal will fall far short of finding enough jobs for the 25 million Americans who need employment. They sharply criticized the president for failing to call for revenue measures needed to finance a robust jobs creation program, including taxes on Wall Street speculation, off-shore tax havens, millionaires and multimillion dollar estates, as well as a 30% reduction in the trillion-dollar bloated military-industrial-security complex budget.
"President Obama refused to address the massive problem of income inequality, a major cause of the economic recession. The wealthiest 1% of Americans now take home 24% of the national income, up from 9% in 1976. The last time the US had such massive income inequality was in 1927, which pushed the country into the Great Depression because of the loss of consumer spending," said Laura Wells, Green candidate for the 2010 governor’s race in California.

Urgent: Innocent man about to be executed:
Dear MoveOn member,
Troy Davis could be executed as soon as September 21, 2011, for a crime he did not commit. Davis is on death row in Georgia for the 1991 murder of police officer Mark MacPhail. However, since his conviction, seven of the nine witnesses who testified against him have recanted and no physical evidence links Davis to the crime.
No one should be executed when there are so many doubts about guilt. It is more important than ever that we continue to let Georgia authorities know that we oppose any effort to execute Troy Davis.
That's why I created a petition to the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles on SignOn.org, which says:
We, the undersigned, call on Georgia authorities to take all steps necessary to ensure that Troy Anthony Davis is not executed. Seven of the nine witnesses have changed their story and no physical evidence links Davis to the crime. No one should be executed, especially when there are so many doubts about guilt.
Will you sign the petition? Click here to add your name, and then pass it along to your friends:

Another way to help Troy Davis:
There could be one more avenue to help save Troy Davis from execution on Wednesday September 21 — but to take advantage of it, we need you to speak out now, and ask your friends and family to take action as well.
We've learned that Chatham County District Attorney Larry Chisolm, who asked a judge to issue Troy's death warrant, can also ask the judge to take it back. This move would be a game-changer — but it'll only happen if he feels more pressure from us to do the right thing than he feels from all those in Savannah calling for Troy's death.
Click the link below to automatically sign the petition to District Attorney Larry Chisolm, which reads:
"Based on the major, persistent doubts about his guilt, I call on you to seek a withdrawal of the death warrant against Troy Davis and to support clemency in his case."

Too much doubt to execute:
Mounting doubts about the evidence against Troy Davis include seven of the nine witnesses recanting their testimony and the statements by several of the witnesses that they were pressured by the police to identify Troy Davis as the murderer of off-duty police officer Mark Allen MacPhail in 1989. Of the two remaining witnesses, one is the initial suspect.
