'Biggest Act of Civil Disobedience in Canadian History'

'Biggest Act of Civil Disobedience in Canadian History'

via (title unknown) by Craig Brown on 5/23/12

"The single biggest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history."

That's how yesterday's Montreal protest is being described today. Hundreds of thousands red-shirted demonstrators defied Quebec's new "anti-protest" law and marched through the streets of downtown Montreal filling the city with "rivers of red."

Don't Legalize Propaganda, Prosecute It

Congress is trying to lift the long-standing ban on aiming propaganda at the U.S. public. I just took a stand against this. Will you please do so too? http://bit.ly/LpkQOu

Keep Caves Closed to Save Our Bats

To protect hibernating bats from the potential spread of white-nose syndrome, the fast-moving fungal disease that has killed nearly 7 million bats in the eastern United States, the U.S. Forest Service has kept caves closed in the Rocky Mountain Region for two years to all but the most essential human access. Now, with the policy up for renewal, the Forest Service is considering weakening protections for bats, increasing the risk of cave visitors bringing the disease into the caves.

Nationwide the loss of bats could mean exploding populations of insects no longer kept in check by these furry, fly-by-night mammals. Scientists have estimated that by keeping insect pests at bay and reducing the need for pesticides, bats are worth $22 billion annually to American farmers. In Colorado, these savings could reach $430 million per year; in South Dakota, $1.1 billion.

While bats are dying at rates topping 90 percent in some areas, and some species could face extinction, the risk to western bats and farmers is too great to justify easing restrictions for discretionary cave uses like recreation.

Please take action today to send a message to the Forest Service and express your support for maintaining the current, responsible management policy.

End Corporate Welfare for Polluters!

Corporate polluters receive billions of our tax dollars each year in welfare, and what do we get? Pollution, oil spills and a bank account running in the red.

Two members of Congress are saying, "Thanks but no thanks" to this wasteful use of our money and are proposing to end all subsidies and tax breaks to the fossil fuel industry -- saving us $113 billion.

Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Keith Ellison have proposed legislation to end this waste. Sign here to join as a citizen co-sponsor of their bills to end $113 billion in taxpayer giveaways to the fossil fuel industry.

It's not like they need our money. The oil, gas and coal industries are among the most profitable on the planet, making tens of billions in profit every fiscal quarter.

Meanwhile, Congress is cutting crucial health and education programs that millions of needy Americans depend on -- programs that could use some of that $113 billion now lining the walls of some corporate oil company's yacht.

Energy subsidies should be focused on clean, green energy sources like wind and solar, which don't damage the environment and threaten our future with global warming.

Sanders' and Ellison's bills are a great opportunity to end welfare for corporate polluters. Will you join me today and show Congress that America wants to end this waste?
