Lots and Lots of Actions to Take:: July 17
My children might not ever see a wild forest if Bush has his way. He's
once again proposed opening up our nation's forests to road building so
that logging trucks and oil wells can get in. Tell them we're not tolerating it. From the Florida PIRG
Stop the Genocide in Sudan
Send a message to your Senators and Representatives telling them to call the atrocities in Darfur genocide. I sent this out before from MoveOn, but nothings been done. This time its from TrueMajority. They also have a tool to write letters to the editors of your papers. Check it out.
Protect the Western Arctic Reserve
The Bush administration is using the recent rise in gasoline prices as
a pretext to sacrifice one of America's greatest natural treasures--the
Western Arctic Reserve of Alaska -- to massive oil development. Take Action From the Natural Resources Defense Council
Stop the INDUCE act
Do you like your CD burner? How about your MP3 player? Well Republican
Nut Job, Orrin Hatch, wants to take them away from you. He's sponsoring
the INDUCE Act which will cripple digital innovation and prevent anyone
from creating devices that can copy digital media. Sounds crazy eh? Its true, go ask Chris. Thensend a letter to your Senators telling them to quit even considering this nonsense.
Protect your Right to Know
In an alarming attack on public access to information, language buried
deep in the Senate transportation bill would allow the government to
conceal important information from the public on serious environment,
health, and public safety issues. This bill is now before Congress;
send a message today supporting your right-to-know about
hazards in your community. Take Action From Environmental Defense
Don't you love those pretty colors? Thanks to Blogger for updating the posting module, it does have a few bugs though.
