Protect Biodiversity in Our National Forests

We need your help now to secure a future for biodiversity in America's national forests.

Last week, after three previous attempts failed, the U.S. Forest Service released a final draft of its National Forest Management Act regulations, which govern the management of the entire, 193-million acre national forest system.

While it improves on past rules, the new rule comes up short on fish and wildlife protections: A previous requirement that the Forest Service maintain viable populations of fish and wildlife on national forests has been weakened and made discretionary.

Please join us in telling the Forest Service to strengthen the rule to make protecting fish and wildlife a requirement, not just a possibility, in our national forests.

Tell Obama to Cease FDA Ties to Monsanto - #gmo #occupymonsanto #monsanto

Hi,

President Obama has appointed former Monsanto VP and Lobbyist Michael Taylor to become Senior Advisor to the FDA's Commissioner. This unthinkable linkage between food safety and corporate interest which have little regard for public health must be stopped. This example of a "fox watching the hen house" is inexcusable. President Obama must reverse this unimaginably dangerous policy and isolate FDA from corporate influence.

That's why I signed a petition to President Barack Obama.

Tell Congress: Don't roll back defense spending cuts

Dear Friend,

Our nation's military budget is grotesquely bloated.

Just about the only good thing to come out of last year's debt ceiling debacle was that the law Congress passed to raise the debt ceiling has the potential to reduce defense spending by $492 billion over the next ten years.

It would normally be a very heavy lift to get Congress to pass any kind of reductions to defense spending. But the legislation that raised the debt ceiling was designed in the case of a deadlock on the Super Committee to mandate across-the-board cuts starting in 2013, including cuts to defense, that would be unattractive to both Democrats and Republicans alike.

The Super Committee did deadlock. And now that they are faced with the prospect of mandatory reductions in defense spending, we can count on members in both chambers of Congress and in both parties to try to shield the American war machine from any sort of funding reductions.

I just signed a petition telling Congress not to roll back cuts to defense spending. I hope you do, too.

Oh no! Twitter censorship

Friends-

Oh no! Reuters, CBS, and other outlets are reporting that Twitter is going to start censoring tweets in certain countries:

"Twitter announced Thursday that it would begin restricting Tweets in certain countries, marking a policy shift for the social media platform that helped propel the popular uprisings recently sweeping across the Middle East."

Please click here to sign an open letter and urge Twitter to reverse its decision to start censoring:

http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/twitter_censorship/?referring_akid=1181.45...

And this quote is just tragic, as Twitter tries to rationlize away restrictions on speech:

"As we continue to grow internationally, we will enter countries that have different ideas about the contours of freedom of expression," Twitter wrote in a blog post published Thursday.

>From the Middle East, to Occupy, to SOPA and PIPA, the importance of open platforms like Twitter couldn't be more clear than it is today.

Will you help fight back, by signing an open letter to Twitter and asking them to reverse course? Just click here:

Thanks!

Stop the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline!

Imagine it: Pollution from tanker traffic. An impossible-to-rule-out oil spill. Destruction of pristine habitat for sea otters, killer whales, puffins, seabirds and even iconic spirit bears. That's what's awaiting British Columbia's northern coast and hundreds of species of birds, animals and marine life that thrive in this region if we don't take action right now.

A controversial proposed pipeline would carry oil from the tar sands in Alberta to a port at Kitimat, British Columbia. After travelling nearly 1,170km through pristine wilderness and First Nations homelands, tar sands oil would be loaded on tankers bound for Pacific markets. To get there, they must first navigate the perilous northern B.C. coast, travelling the same wildlife-filled waters where the Queen of the North ferry sank in 2006. Is this pipeline in the public's best interest? If given a go-ahead, the pipeline project would:

- Fragment the boreal forest, home to birds and other wildlife, including Woodland Caribou and Grizzly Bears. - Expose the Great Bear Rainforest, home to wolves and the iconic Spirit Bear, and 30 internationally recognized Important Bird Areas teeming with marine birds, fish and other animals to potential oil spills and pollution from increased tanker traffic.
- Risk irreversible harm to the livelihoods of many coastal and aboriginal communities.

Our country's wildlife is depending on us to speak up on their behalf and put a stop to the Northern Gateway Pipeline project before it's too late. Add your voice and send your letter today!

8 core system that did not work with in-house Darwin-8

For your information, this 8 core system would not boot from our
in-house Darwin-8 installer. The most likely reason is the absence of
an IDE bus, so that it might be expected to work with the SATA driver.
Unfortunately, the SATA driver is currently proprietary to my
knowledge.

Tell Congress: Only people are people.

Dear Friend,

The Citizens United vs. FEC Supreme Court decision overturned over a century of precedent and opened the floodgates for unlimited amounts of corporate money to flow into our political system.

Shockingly, the court came to this decision based on the notion that a corporation is legally a "person" entitled to First Amendment rights, and by equating a corporation's right to spend unlimited amounts of money influencing an election with our right to free speech.

Tell your senators and member of Congress to support a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and end corporate personhood.

Protect Arctic Ocean from New Oil Drilling

Dear Friend,

I just wrote to the Department of Interior, urging them not to open new
areas of the Arctic Ocean to oil and gas drilling. I hope you'll read
the action alert below from the National Audubon Society and join me in
submitting public comments.

Audubon Action Alert

The ocean waters along Alaska's northern coast provide vital habitat
for extraordinary wildlife, including polar bears, walruses,
ice-dependent seals, endangered bowhead whales, and millions of
migratory birds. The Arctic Ocean can also be phenomenally harsh:
broken ice covers the water for much of the year, storms with
hurricane-force winds can whip up 20-foot seas, and it is entirely dark
for half the year. The federal government recently released a proposed
Five-Year Program (2012-2017) for offshore oil and gas leasing that
could open up pristine new areas in the Arctic Ocean offshore of Alaska
to oil drilling. The oil industry has never successfully demonstrated the ability to
clean up an oil spill in the Arctic Ocean.

Speak up for the birds and wildlife of the Arctic Ocean! Please tell the Department of the
Interior that the Arctic Ocean should remain off-limits to oil and gas
drilling:
http://www.audubonaction.org/site/Advocacy?id=1189

An oil spill in the Arctic Ocean could be disastrous for marine mammals
such as polar bear, Bowhead whale, walrus and seals. It would also harm
birds such as the Spectacled Eider, Steller's Eider, and
Yellow-billed Loon, all three of which are on the Alaska WatchList.

Even without the threat of oil and gas development, the Arctic is
subject to rapid climate warming at a rate that is twice the rest of
the earth. Changes due to warming are already having significant
negative impacts on Arctic people and ecosystems. Additional oil and
gas activities in the Arctic would only add to existing impacts.

Please submit your public comments today. Comments are due February 8:
http://www.audubonaction.org/site/Advocacy?id=1189

A victory against internet censorship. But the fight continues.

Dear Friend,

On Wednesday, with the Senate poised to vote on legislation that would end the internet as we know it, hundreds of organizations in a one-day strike and day of action against internet censorship.

The results have been amazing. After the national day of action, 71 members of Congress came out in opposition to this legislation.

But we can't stop fighting yet. Although this legislation has been tabled for now, we need keep pressure on the members of Congress who still support these censorship bills. They need to continue to hear that Americans want them to protect our free and open internet and come out in opposition to these bills.

Tell the remaining co-sponsors of this legislation to protect our free and open internet and drop their support of this censorship legislation.

help me ban #fracking - #food #health #gas #oil #plants #oilspill #nokxl

Fracking -- the drilling process technically known as hydraulic fracturing where water, chemicals and sand are blasted at high velocity into underground fissures to release natural gas -- has been linked to contaminated drinking water, flammable tap water and even earthquakes. But politicians' interest in tackling this environmental threat is underwhelming at best.

That's because any attempt to question fracking's safety draws the ire of uber-lobbying group the American Petroleum Institute, one of D.C.'s most powerful industry associations and a big donor to political campaigns.

Ignoring the environmental hazards of hydraulic fracturing might be good for profits, but it's bad for the environment and our health. So I just signed this petition calling for a ban on fracking. Can you do the same?
