Stand up to corporate money in politics

You and I both know that big corporations use their massive amounts of cash to fight the kind of change we need in Washington. Unfortunately, it’s getting a lot worse.

A recent decision by the Supreme Court now allows corporations to spend unlimited money to influence elections. Sign the petition to amend the constitution to prevent corporate control of elections at www.DontGetRolled.org.

Urgent - Obama raids medical marijuana dispensaries

Friends --

Shocking news: The Feds have raided more than two dozen medical marijuana dispensaries across California and Montana. Armed agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, FBI, and ATF swept through 28 stores and greenhouses, detaining the workers there and seizing computers, plants, and other items. More than 20 states have decriminalized marijuana or legalized its use for medical purposes: There's no telling where the next round of raids will take place.

Will you urge Obama to put an end to these raids? Just click here:

http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/medicalmarijuana/?referring_akid=419.45919...

According to one worker, "They came in, guns drawn, got us down on the ground and in cuffs as fast as they could."

The raids represent a swift change in law enforcement policy: When Obama took office, Attorney General Eric Holder promised to end the Bush-era attacks on sellers of medicinal marijuana and the patients who use it. Obama made the same promise on the campaign trail: "I would not have the Justice Department prosecuting and raiding medical marijuana users. It's not a good use of our resources." (August 21, 2007, event in Nashua, New Hampshire)

Now the Feds are even refusing to say why they conducted these raids, and if and when they'll be pressing any charges: There's no telling what state will be next. This shift in policy puts medical marijuana sellers and patients across America in jeopardy. Will you tell Obama and Holder to keep their promises and end the raids?

Opportunity to push doctors to reinforce their rejection of torture (re. Bradley Manning)

Subject: Opportunity to push doctors to reinforce their rejection of torture (re. Bradley Manning)
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2011 23:16:18 +0000

Dear Madam, Sir

A couple of weeks ago I wrote an open letter to the American Medical Association - asking them to clarify that the treatment of Bradley Manning is nowhere near medical, but is torture. See: http://wlcentral.org/node/1379 & http://original.antiwar.com/engelhardt/2009/06/07/pioneers-of-torture/

So far I did not receive any reply whatsoever -but there was an organization that drew the same conclusions as I did: 

When I contacted the writers of this letter, expressed my gratitude and told them about my inquiry they gave me more or less the following answer: AMA is a bureaucracy and doesn't like to take a stance in a situation like this, so don't expect an answer. Their organization has tried for years to realize disciplinary action for psychological/ medical staff that aided and condoned Quantico - so far with no result at all.
My first response was a renewed effort to tweet my article in combinations with "American medical association" -

It is in that way that I discovered that the Student members of the American Medical Association hold their annual convention from March 10 till March 13 in Washington: http://inspirationexchange.amsa.org/AMSA/AMSA/Home/Default.aspx

The purpose of this letter (however late) is to see if it is possible to go down to this convention and ask help to the students to encourage/force AMA to make a crystal clear statement that the treatment of Bradley has nothing to do with medicine at all. I personally feel that -if this would succeed- it would mean a major step forward in proving that Bradley Manning is maltreated. On top of that the army would have much more to explain as to the exact origin and nature of this maltreatment. I cannot go myself - as I am in the Netherlands - but i hope that all the organizations that are in the header of this mail may be able to work together and bring this about. Probably you are all good friends ;-)

In my estimation a small team of people (esp. impressive people like veterans or mothers ;-)  ) could be enough to 1. create publicity 2. get enough student involvement to make the AMA students reject the abuse of their profession for the torture of Bradley Manning.

I sincerely hope that something is possible,

With many greetings,

Mirjam Eikelboom 

State Dept. Spokesman Crowley Slams Pentagon on Treatment of Bradley Manning

via (title unknown) by Craig Brown on 3/11/11

The harsh conditions in which Bradley Manning, the accused WikiLeaks leaker, are being held have helped make him a cause celebre on parts of the left, but the complaints have generated little official government sympathy -- until now.

Arrested

Friends-

Breaking news: Demand Progress has obtained documents that reveal a radical shift in how law enforcement is policing the Internet. Brian McCarthy ran a website that linked to various sites where you could watch online streams of TV shows and sports networks. A couple months ago, the government seized his domain name and on Friday they arrested him and charged him with criminal copyright infringement -- punishable by five years in prison. We just dug up the complaint, and you can view it here.

Click here to tell the government that there's nothing illegal about linking to another website -- and that they need to drop the charges right away!

http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/dhscomplaint/?referring_akid=351.45919.V-X...

The complaint reveals that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) don't even allege that McCarthy made a copy of anything! Just that his site linked to various sites with copyrighted material. Under that sort of thinking, everyone who's sent around a link to a copyrighted YouTube video is a criminal!

This is another shocking overreach by DHS and ICE -- a steamship-era department that's proving once again that it doesn't understand the Internet.

We need to push back -- and fast -- before they try to lock up more Americans. Will you click here to tell DHS and ICE to back off?

Thanks for fighting back!

Dear Michael L.,

I'm Christina Simeone, Policy Director here at Repower
America, and I wanted to share an important piece of news
with you.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning
to limit global warming pollution from big fossil fuel
industries like power plants and petroleum refineries. These
industries alone account for about 40% of the global warming pollution in the U.S. -- making them the two largest sources
of emissions.

Here's where you come in. The EPA is charged with developing
rules called New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) that
will protect public health, reduce the pollution that causes
climate change, and send a signal to polluters that they
need to invest in clean energy technologies.

It's crucial that the EPA sticks to its schedule and develops
strong rules. Between now and March 18, the EPA is accepting
comments on their plans. They will definitely be receiving
comments from the coal, gas and oil industries. Make sure
they hear from you, too.

http://acp.repoweramerica.org/contact-the-epa

These rules are common sense. The EPA was created to
understand our impact on our environment and protect the
health of our people. An overwhelming majority of scientists are united in their understanding of the effects of global warming pollution and the EPA is charged with developing rules based on that science. Yet strong special interest groups are working to derail that process.

The EPA needs to hear that you support their efforts to
limit global warming pollution from these industries. That's
why you need to encourage the EPA to issue strong New Source
Performance Standards without delay.

The science is clear: Climate change is happening.
Unfortunately, big polluters will make big profits if they
mislead the American public about that fact. We need you to
counteract and counterbalance their money and their voice by
sending a comment to the EPA today.

Fill out the form below, and we'll deliver your comment to
the EPA before the March 18 deadline:

Help Halt Wolf Extermination Attempt in Congress

The U.S. Senate and House of Representatives have included a rider in the must-pass budget bill that would permanently end all federal protections for wolves throughout Montana, Idaho and parts of Utah, Oregon and Washington.

Not only would this move leave approximately 1,400 wolves in Montana and Idaho vulnerable to slaughter by public hunting and trapping, but it would also expose them to greatly increased aerial gunning by federal trappers. The three wolf packs roaming Oregon and Washington will be similarly persecuted.

If it passes, this new law would also prevent re-listing northern Rockies wolves as "endangered" -- even if their numbers plummet toward zero.

Please contact your U.S. senators today to tell them to sponsor or vote for an amendment to the Continuing Resolution budget bill stripping it of Section 1713, the wolf extermination provision.

'Sarcastic Quip' May Have Triggered Stripping of WikiLeaks Suspect

via (title unknown) by andrea on 3/6/11

A 'sarcastic quip' that a U.S. Army private made about his predicament at a Marine Corps brig may have led to orders that he strip naked each night, the soldier's attorney said Saturday.

Beginning on Wednesday night, Pfc. Bradley Manning, who's facing preliminary charges related to massive leaks of classified information to the online publisher WikiLeaks, was forced by authorities at the Marine Corps Brig in Quantico, Va. to sleep naked in his cell and remain naked through a jail roll call in the morning.

Speak Up for Grand Teton National Park!

I just took action to protect Grand Teton's famous air quality and wildlife. I urge you to take action yourself and spread the word!

The Upper Hoback Basin in the rugged Wyoming Range of western Wyoming is just 50 miles away from Grand Teton National Park and provides critical habitat and a vital crossroads for migrating wildlife in the Yellowstone ecosystem. Yet, the U.S. Forest Service is moving forward with a plan to allow oil and gas mining in this sensitive area. Tell Bridger-Teton National Forest Supervisor Jacqueline A. Buchanan to protect Grand Teton's famous air quality and wildlife from the impact of this harmful development.

Budget cuts we can't afford

Judging from their proposed budget, House Republicans would prefer to have Wall Street firms, billionaire CEOs and corporate lobbyists writing the rules instead of playing by them.

Their budget contains draconian cuts to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission – three federal agencies charged with implementing crucial Wall Street reforms.

These cuts will increase America’s vulnerability to another financial crisis and make the marketplace less safe for consumers.

Send a message to your senators urging them to oppose these cuts:

Help Protect the Grand Canyon From Uranium Mining

Grand Canyon National Park needs your help.

Public lands surrounding the Grand Canyon are ground zero for a new uranium mining boom. Foreign uranium corporations have staked thousands of new mining claims, have re-opened one old mine, and are trying to open three more.

Uranium mining threatens to industrialize iconic wildlands surrounding the Grand Canyon with dozens of new mines, damage wildlife habitat, and pollute and deplete aquifers feeding the Grand Canyon's biologically critical seeps, springs and caves.

The Obama administration is now analyzing a 20-year "mineral withdrawal" that would protect up to 1 million acres of the canyon's watershed from new mining claims and prohibit new mines on most existing claims.

We need your help urging protection for the Grand Canyon's entire 1-million-acre watershed, not just part of it. Please send an email to the administration and, if you're in Arizona or Utah, attend a public meeting. Tell them that uranium mining near Grand Canyon just isn't worth the risk.

WikiLeaks at the Forefront of 21st-Century Journalism

via Antiwar.com Original by Kevin Zeese on 2/28/11

If there was ever doubts about whether the editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, is a journalist, recent events erase those doubts and put him at the forefront of a movement to democratize journalism and empower people. The U.S. Department of Justice is still trying to find a way to prosecute Assange and others associated with [...]
