Protest against TV duel: U.S. police arrested presidential candidate of the ...


Ruhestörung - so lautete der Vorwurf der US-Polizei, als sie am Dienstag die Präsidentschaftskandidatin der Grünen festnahm. Jill Stein hatte in Hempstead eine improvisierte Pressekonferenz abgehalten, um gegen das TV-Duell zwischen Barack Obama und Mitt Romney zu protestieren.

Protect your water, stop pollution trading!

I just took action and hope you can too.

The EPA is considering rules that would legally allow polluters to "trade" pollution credits, allowing some people to pollute more, while outsourcing water pollution regulations to Wall Street.

Please join me in taking action to make sure the EPA keeps the Clean Water Act strong, and doesn't allow pollution trading.

I'm proud to vote for Jill Stein

Dear Michael L.,

We are at a critical point in our nation’s history. In the face of deep austerity measures, working and poor people are uniting. In the last few weeks alone, teachers in Chicago won a historic strike and Walmart workers walked out on the job for the first time. We must keep building the momentum. Thermometer

And that is why I believe that Green presidential candidate Jill Stein has the most thoughtful and thorough platforms for the American people.

Can you pitch in $50 to Jill Stein’s campaign? If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to give, that time is now to show your support.

Ralph Nader puts it well:

“Jill Stein will ably carry forward the Green banner of majoritarian agendas in our country. Let us hope that the two-party duopolized media notices.”

A donation of $50 is critical in increasing our outreach to new voters seeking a change. Every dollar sends the message that status quo politics is not good enough. Together we will build the demand for Jill Stein’s Full Employment Program, breaking up the banks “too big to fail,” and a Green New Deal for all of us.

We have so much at stake. By uniting our forces we can create and build our own alternatives to a system that is only helping a select few. Together we can rebuild a healthier democracy.

Please show your support today.

Matt Gonzalez

Counting the Bodies in the Pakistani #Drone Campaign - #drones

via (title unknown) by jon on 10/15/12

The US government must release its estimates of how many people are being killed in CIA drone strikes, to end an over-reliance on often scanty media reports, a new study on drone casualties says.

Obama: stop the #tarsands! - #nokxl #keystonexl #kxlblockade

I've had it with the media blackout! Stop sacrificing our climate on the election alter! Stop the pipeline!

Oil companies want to build a huge pipeline from Canada to Texas to open up new markets for tar-sand oil, the dirtiest fossil fuel on earth. But Obama could refuse the permit -- and a wave of protests are trying to convince him to do the right thing. Sign the petition, and demonstrators will bring it to the White House on Saturday:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/obama_stop_the_tar_sands/96.php 

Here are more action items.

The petition makes a fascinating point. #KeystoneXL is not in the public benefit, so that eminent domain was abused. #nokxl #kxlblockade

Regards,
proclus

Tell Congress What the U.S. Ambassador Acknowledged on Drone Strikes

Until recently, U.S. officials have largely refused to engage, publicly and on the record, on specific criticisms of U.S. drone strike policy in Pakistan. But now, Acting U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan Richard Hoagland has gone on the record to defend the details of U.S. drone strike policy in a meeting with Just Foreign Policy and other U.S. peace delegates in Pakistan.

Urge your representatives in Congress to follow up on what has been acknowledged, like the fact that the U.S. could compensate civilian drone strike victims and their families.

Thanks!
