POPSSen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) Embraces Communist Van Jones
For a time, Jones had been politically radioactive to Democrats but Gillibrand’s decision to work alongside him appears to bring Jones’s political exile to an end. Gillibrand, who had a reputation as a moderate Democrat before entering the U.S. Senate, has been steadily tacking to the left since being appointed to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton so it’s no surprise that she is cozying up to her party’s radical left-wing. Gillibrand was one of only seven senators who voted against de-funding the radical leftist group ACORN known for its decades of involvement in election fraud. At the time she defended her vote, telling the New York Post through a spokesperson, “The truth remains that thousands of New York families who are facing foreclosure depend on charitable organizations like ACORN for assistance.” “Van Jones is a globally recognized, award-winning pioneer in the green jobs movement. He also happens to be a super fun speaker so this will be a very ....

POPSDemocrats Push to Repeal First Amendment! If this gets any traction – we all need to make sure we get on the horn with our representatives and senators and tell them they better not mess with our most fundamental of all rights – those contained in the First Amendment. You appeal the First Amendment and it opens the doors for the government to take over EVERY aspect of our lives. For those of you who may have forgotten – here is EVERYTHING that is in The First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. These idiots are treading in some very dangerous waters here.

POPSDemand Question Time! This would be a very good initiative. We should all sign-in with our demands for a "Question Time" that will put the process directly in front of the public with open discussion and with an "educational" back and forth airing of the issues. It would be a sharp contrast to Fox News "Fair and Balanced" routine. I think that our democracy is in trouble if we don't get the public educated on the FACTS of the issues, and I think that Obama is very capable in this regard.

POPSSEC Petitioned to Warn Companies Against Making False and Misleading Claims on Global Warming We believe the Commission should take action immediately to protect investors. I. Examples of potentially false and misleading statements made by registrants. Below are but a few examples of the sort of potentially false and misleading statements being made by registrants. The problematic nature of these statements is discussed in Section II. * Exelon Corp. issued a media release and placed full-page advertisements in major newspapers on July 15, 2008 stating, "The science is overwhelming -- climate change is happening now and human activity is the primary cause." * Lehman Brothers issued a report on climate change featuring the so-called "hockey stick" graph to support the notion that humans are causing global warming. * The General Electric Company issued a "Call for Action" to "slow, stop and even reverse the damage of greenhouse gasses." * Toyota Motor Corp. states in a report, "When we drive a vehicle, it consumes fossil fuels and emits CO2,

POPS4 Arrested in Phone Tampering at Landrieu Office Buchanan's response, and the O'Keefe's earlier embrace by Republican lawmakers illustrates a disturbing and dangerous trend by the right-- the use and defense of blatant lawlessness as a means to a political ends. As of yet those 31 Republicans have yet condemn this crime or pull their support for their resolution lauding O'Keefe. This is simply unacceptable, unless of course they stand by those kinds of actions and in fact endorse this kind of behavior. Let's find out for sure. Sign the Care2 petition and demand they withdraw their support for their resolution and condemn the crimes in no uncertain terms. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/205508789

POPSStop The Spending Binge Petition...Please Sign On behalf of all taxpayers, small businesses and future generations, we urge you to support an amendment to the U.S. Constitution mandating that Congress balance the federal budget. Add your name to the petition by completing the form on the right. Read the full letter to Members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives The federal government’s Ponzi Scheme on the Potomac endangers America’s already-beleaguered economic health and imperils the basic freedoms of American working families. Leaders in both parties have irresponsibly run up debt. And, since President Obama took office, the debt crisis has grown exponentially worse. The facts tell the story. The average American household now carries over half-a-million dollars in Federal debt. And it’s growing quickly: The Obama administration is now predicting that the federal budget deficit will exceed $10 trillion through 2019. Meanwhile, some economists are predicting that in about 15 years,

POPSJustice Steven's Dissent On 5/4 SCOTUS Decision
A lengthy document, but beautiful and deserves a reading. More below: "... not only because the Framers and their contemporaries conceived of speech more narrowly than we now think of it..., but also because they held very different views about the nature of the First Amendment right and the role of corporations in society. Those few corporations that existed at the founding were authorized by grant of a special legislative charter. Corporate sponsors would petition the legislature,... if amenable, would issue a charter that specified the corporation’s powers and purposes and “authoritatively fixed the scope and content of corporate organization,” including “the internal structure...” . Corporations were created, supervised, and conceptualized as quasi-public entities, “designed to serve a social function for the state.” . It was “assumed that ... had to be closely scrutinized by the legislature because their purposes had to be made consistent with public welfare.”

POPSPlease Help Save Our Democracy
Here is my thank-you note to Representative Conyers: Dear Mr. Conyers, I am writing to thank you for joining, Florida Representative Alan Grayson in his quest to overturn the recent Supreme Court's sellout to Corporate America. The ramifications of this ruling will destroy our democracy. We should not be silent even if it seems hopeless. The GOP appears to be bent on destroying our country for reasons that aren’t quite clear and do not make sense. I know their interests are completely devoted to Big Business but they need “we the people” to keep commerce flourishing. So, Common Sense dictates that there’s “Something rotten in the state of Denmark”. Our lives are ruled by decisions others at the top make, Bad Decisions. They harm us in ways that are not always readily apparent and make the pursuit of happiness a joke. Please keep fighting for the “Little Guy” and thanks again for your support to help Save our Democracy by signing on to HR 4433. thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSPetition - Kein Comeback der Gentechnik!
Ganz ohne Gentechnik hält Mais mehr Salz aus - klassische Züchtung machte Zea mays resistenter. Durch klassische Züchtung haben Forscher um den Agrarwissenschaftler Prof. Sven Schubert Mais gezüchtet, der gut auf salzigen Böden gedeiht. Mit Gentechnik hätte er das Ziel NICHT erreicht, weiß Prof. Schubert: "Mit der Gentechnik ist es nur möglich bestimmte Gene einzukreuzen. Mit unserem Ansatz ist es möglich, komplexe physiologische Merkmale zu erfassen, die die Salzresistenz verbessern."
