Release Yemeni journalist Abdulelah Haider Shaye
I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed:
"Release Yemeni journalist Abdulelah Haider Shaye"
http://ping.fm/LbcbB
I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It's free and takes just a few seconds of your time.
Thanks!
PS, US needs to arrange the release of this journalist very soon. ;-)

Anonymous: Message to United States Citizens [CISPA]
CISPA... Your creators, supporters, and counterparts have become sworn enemies of Anonymous. Expect us. Emergency Action Authorized. Follow @TheAnonMessage for the latest updates. #OpDefense #CISPAction TRANSCRIPT ______ Greetings citizens of the United States. We are Anonymous. Thursday, April 26th, the United States House, in a rushed vote, passed the HR 3523, also known as CISPA. Dubbed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, it allows the United States to collect information about users of the internet. It allows the United States to monitor all activity on the net and can be used to monitor any individual's internet usage. This monitoring is called deep packet inspection, it looks through everything that is going in and out of your computer, which is a blatant violation of our rights to privacy. Looking through your mail is a crime for a postman, these rules should apply to the internet too. The bill's intent is to help stop cyber attacks... However; the vague wording of the bill could allow the government to use this new power to go behind privacy protection and monitor, censor, and cut off online communication. President Obama has already stated that he will veto the bill, but this is also what was said about NDAA. Together, we can stop this act. The time to take action is now. We have defeated previous attempts to censor our only platform of true honest communication, the internet. SOPA was only the beginning. Sign petitions, call your congressmen, and <b>...</b> | From: TheAnonMessage Views: 1 0 ratings | |

CREDO Action #CISPA tool to help you call Congress. Tell Congress: Stop the online #spying bill - #OpDefense
CREDO Action has made a tool to help people who wish to contact their congressmen and oppose #CISPA. This is a great action. Do it now, instead of later.
If you would like to do more to fight #CIPSA, there is a great action list at Reddit. I would recommend doing all the actions. We need to stop this horrible proposal, and also stop every cybersecurity bill that threatens our rights and privacy.

Protecting our online privacy
Hi there! Our privacy is up for a vote this week. In an attempt to address cyber threats, the US House will be voting Thursday on a bill that would allow for the unlimited sharing of personal data amongst and between private companies and the government, without a single safeguard for privacy or civil liberties. The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act is a serious threat to our privacy, and if passed could have a ripple effect across the world. But there is still time to stop it. We need to convince technology companies supporting CISPA that protecting us against cyber threats does not have to come at the expense of our privacy. I've already signed the Access petition urging these 30 companies and organizations to stand up for their users and drop their CISPA. And I think you should too.

Blog title...Tell your Senator: Join the fight to stop the doubling of student loan interest rates
Keeping federally subsidized student loans affordable for the families who need them most will provide millions of working class Americans with much needed economic relief. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) has introduced the Student Loan Affordability Act (S. 2051) which locks in the federally subsidized student loan rate at 3.4 percent and prevents it from doubling this summer.
It is urgent that we organize in support of Senator Reed's legislation today to make sure that interest rates do not double on July 1. The more Senators who come out in support of S. 2051 today, the more likely it will be that Congress acts on this issue before interest rates double this summer.
I just signed a petition asking my senator to stop Republicans from doubling the interest rate on student loans by cosponsoring the Student Loan Affordability Act (S.2051). Can you join the cause today? Thanks for taking action.

Support the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012
I signed a petition to Rep. John Kline (MN-2), The United States House of Representatives, and 2 others which says:
"Total outstanding student loan debt in America is expected to exceed $1 TRILLION this year. Millions of hardworking, taxpaying, educated Americans are being crushed under the weight of their educational debts, while the economy continues to sputter. Support a REAL economic stimulus and jobs plan. Support the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 (H.R. 4170)."

57 Percent of Taxes Funds Homicidal Activity

Hello,
There's a reason the United States has a hard time funding green energy, healthcare, education, infrastructure, or transportation. We have 5% of the world's people and over 50% of the world's military spending. Help change this now. http://bit.ly/HKbHiVThanks!

Don't let Shell drill the Arctic
The Arctic Ocean has never been drilled for oil, not even under George W. Bush.
But at the end of March, the Obama Administration approved Shell Oil's inadequate Spill Plan for the Beaufort Sea, and right now, Shell's Kulluk drilling rig is getting towed up the pacific coast.
This is the eleventh hour. Drilling in these pristine waters could begin as soon as this summer.
Before it does, President Obama still has to approve the final Permit to Drill, and a decision could come by the end of this month.
I just signed a petition telling the Obama Administration to save the Arctic Ocean from Oil Drilling. This is the last change, please sign your name too:

Dental X-Rays Linked To Common Brain Tumor, Study Finds
#health #tsa #nhs #xray #body #cancer #civil #rights
It is my recollection that dental X-rays are also linked to an increased incendence of mouth cancer. One would not be surprised to see an increase in skin cancer as well. I for one have more brown spots in the cheek area, where the dentist aims the X-rays, indicating increased melanization. This should correlate well with the number of dental fillings as well. We have yet another good reason to practice good detnal hygiene.
No one should say that the TSA X-ray body scanners are harmless, just because everyone gets a dental X-ray. That is clearly false.
