Fur Seals are Starving for Your Help
Juan,
Fur seals, endangered Steller sea lions, and sea birds are starving in the Bering Sea because their food supplies of Alaskan pollock fish are being depleted.
Pollock is the world's largest food fishery. Used to make McDonald's fish sandwiches and frozen fish sticks, the population has decreased by a stunning 62 percent since 2003. Factory fishing trawlers take over a million tons of pollock out of the ocean each year. The fish cannot reproduce and recover as quickly as they are being fished.
Multi-national corporations are making a billion dollars a year by overfishing pollock, while local wildlife face extinction. About a million tons of pollock are dragged out of the Bering Sea every year.
For years, Greenpeace has warned that industrial fishing would destroy this fragile environment, but the fisheries managers have buckled under pressure from industry.
When Canadian policy makers ignored the warning signs about
declining cod populations, the resulting collapse put 40,000 fishermen
out of work and caused far-reaching changes to the ecology of the
northwest Atlantic. Today, this same scenario is possible in the Bering
Sea. The repercussions of this could be disastrous not only for
local communities and economies, but for the many wildlife who call
this area home.
Thank you for helping the Bering Sea ecosystem survive.

USA Concentration camps?
There have been all kinds of conspiracy theories about FEMA camps across the US.
Workers have circulated photographs of them with barbed wire (just like Germany's concentration camps)on the internet. Everybody has laughed at them.
Well... here is the House bill that pays for them! $360 Million over 2 years:

OMG / Response to OMG!
Absolutely... I will be happy to forward on your story! Great example of revolution by consumer choice in action.
Thanks and all the best!

Jim,
Please pass this along to your list. I want everyone to know how DEEPLY satisfying it was last week to call Time Warner cable and terminate all of our services! We had the bundle package for cable/phone/internet and were paying around $140.00 a month with taxes included! We have been Time Warner customers for over 10 years. They always ask why you are terminating your service. I hope they were recording my answer for "training purposes"!
I told them that their prices for all of their products had become far too expensive, especially for Road Runner High Speed, because it mostly delivered lower speeds more of the time - like LIGHT Road Runner. I went on to say that the only programs worth watching on the 100 something channels that didn't insult my intelligence, beliefs or American way of life was a few of the Austin Community Access Television programs like Alex Jones and our other two or three patriot shows. But now that I can watch these programs online at www.prisonplanet.tv , and www.simpletruthonline.com I don't need to pay for cable anymore. I told them I found other companies who require absolutely no contract for quality internet and cell phone service, and the monthly cost was much more competitive, as well as mobile.
I went on to tell the Time Warner peon that I was not happy with the fact that Time WArner was participating with the government to infringe upon my 4th ammendment rights by installing equipment in my home that has the capability of listening in on conversations. I was also not happy about attempts to coerce me into purchasing services on contracts at an ever increasing monthly rate which, by the way, nearly doubled in the last two years and saw at least 300 percent increases over the last 10 years here in Austin for cable and internet alone.
I hope they learned something. It felt good to let go of Time Warner. We will not miss tv as long as we have access to our info on the net.
I hope people are wising up and realize that one of their MAJOR powers comes as a consumer! That power is greatest when people REFUSE to go along with their coersion, extorsion, and infringment on our rights. None of these technologies are absolutely necessary to life, except the internet. What did we do before we had those expensive cell phones? We had ONE phone at home! What did we do before television? We had far more time together. Some day soon we may not have the internet or any of these technologies without severly jeopardizing our liberty. I'd like to think I am doing my part to not only cause the prices of these conveniences to go down, but to use my power as a consumer to demand that my rights be respected! Join us in this quest, won't you?
Janet

There's a movie show on TV right now called "Criminal Minds" where the government in the show says that Libertarians are religious nuts living in heavily armed compounds aka Ruby Ridge, Waco, etc, their words not mine who are very anti govt, anti tax etc and from what I just heard behind me are probably the killers of a social worker who was checking on the welfare of a child in the cult compound. This is fucking unreal, and the cattle watching this will more than likely buy this bullshit !

Liberty and Freedom
It is found that when man fights for his freedom, man then begins to accumulate laws to take it away from himself. When the People of this once free country contend for their Liberty and Freedom, they seldom get anything for their victory, but new Masters or what can also be called Department Heads. We are really just slaves to the Government.

Stimulus For Who?
From Ron Paul's Texas Straight Talk
This week the House is expected to pass an $825 billion economic stimulus package. In reality, this bill is just an escalation of a government-created economic mess. As before, a sense of urgency and impending doom is being used to extract mountains of money from Congress with minimal debate. So much for change. This is déjà vu. We are again being promised that its passage will help employment, help homeowners, help the environment, etc. These promises are worthless. This time around especially, Congress should know better than to pass anything of this magnitude without first reading the fine print. There a many red flags that I have found in this bill.
At least $4 billion is allocated to expanding the police state and the war on drugs through Byrne grants, which even the Bush administration opposed, and the COPS program, both of which are corrupt and largely ineffective programs.
To help Big Brother keep a better eye on us and our children, $20 billion would go towards health information technology, which would create a national system of electronic medical records without adequate privacy protection. These records would instead be subject to the misnamed federal "medical privacy" rule, which allows government and state-favored special interests to see medical records at will. An additional $250 million is allocated for states to nationalize individual student data, expanding Federal control of education and eroding privacy.
$79 billion bails out states that haphazardly expanded their budgets during the bubble years, but refuse to retrench and cut back, as their taxpayers have had to, during recession years.
$200 million expands Americorps. $100 million goes to "faith-and-community" based organizations for social services, which will further insinuate the government into charity and community service. Private charities are much more efficient and effective because they are directly accountable to donors, while public programs tend to get rewarded for failure. With its money, the Federal Government brings its incompetence and its whims, while creating foolish dependence. This is sad to see.
Of course the bill is rife with central planning projects. $4 billion for job training, much of which will be used to direct workers into "green jobs". $200 million to "encourage" electric cars, $2 billion to support US manufacturers of advanced batteries and battery systems, which is yet another function of government I can't find in the Constitution. Not to mention $500 million for energy efficient manufacturing demonstration projects, $70 million for a Technology Innovation Program for "research in potentially revolutionary technologies" in which government, not supply and demand, will pick winners and losers. $746 million for afterschool snacks, $6.75 billion for the Department of Commerce, including $1 billion for a census.
This bill delivers an additional debt burden of $6,700 to every American man, woman and child.
There is a lot of stimulus and growth in this bill - that is, of government. Nothing in this bill stimulates the freedom and prosperity of the American people. Politician-directed spending is never as successful as market-driven investment. Instead of passing this bill, Congress should get out of the way by cutting taxes, cutting spending, and reining in the reckless monetary policy of the Federal Reserve.

Ron Paul calls Obama a Fraud
Ron Paul exposes Barack Obama as a fraud, playing politics with his anti-war message. His voting record, even of recent, does not support his position against conflict.
