Green Economics: A Series of Community Gatherings on the Ongoing Economic Crisis
Submitted by Berd on Wed, 02/24/2010 - 16:10.
We will host a series of community discussions, each one preceded by an informative meeting, on the causes of the economic crisis and a variety of proposals to deal with it. The 12-part series will occur on a variety of days
(both weeknights and weekend days) over a period of 9 weeks from approximately mid-February to late April. The topics will flow logically from one session to the next to create a comprehensive series, but each session will also stand alone so you can participate in those that suit your schedule.
Another threat to Puget Sound
Submitted by rick on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 14:35.
Recent rollbacks to the Clean Water Act have swept away 30 years of
protections for streams, lakes and wetlands across the country, giving
polluters a free pass to pollute in the streams that feed the lakes and
many of the rivers across our state -- streams and rivers that
eventually lead to the Puget Sound.
It's time to protect Puget Sound, and all of our waterways across
Washington. Join
me
in telling Congress to take action now.

Some of these Monsanto-linked appointments are further proof of how dangerous it is to elect a president who the American people trust. The public is deep asleep while a democrat administration legalizes extraordinary rendition, drone bombings of Pakistan, increases in private mercenary warfighting with taxpayer dollars as well as keeping and legalizing civil liberty curtailments of the bush administration. Pandora's box is open and hope is obscuring it's evil outpourings. -Rick [David Rovics] Report from Cop-enhagenSubmitted by rick on Tue, 12/15/2009 - 14:25.The signs up all over the airport and various places elsewhere in town Inside the Bella Center lots of stuff is going on.
