Sign the New Petition to Ban the Transportation of US Horses for the Purpose of Slaughter


Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

It is not enough that the three horse slaughterhouses in the United States have been closed. Now we must further act by stopping the transportation of American horses to Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered there for human consumption in other parts of the world. We Americans do not eat horses and we should not send them out of our country to be butchered and eaten by others.



The American public has overwhelmingly opposed the slaughter of America's horses for human consumption and now the courts have declared horse slaughter to be illegal. While horses will no longer be butchered in the U.S. they can be hauled under appalling conditions to a similarly brutal death in plants across the U.S. border. Congress must pass federal legislation to extend the protections to all horses and to send a clear message to those few who profit from this barbaric trade.



Please sign this petition to support Senate Bill S. 311 - The bill to amend the Horse Protection Act to prohibit the shipping, transporting, moving, delivering, receiving, possessing, purchasing, selling, or donation of horses and other equines to be slaughtered for human consumption, and for other purposes.



Let's get this business of horse butchering over with once and for all! Thank you for helping to save the lives of America's heritage, the horse!

Taser, Taser, Taser, Deploy! A Study On Police Brutality

 

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket




This post is a response to 9/11 truther Andrew Meyer being tasered by cops at University of Florida John Kerry speech. Andrew Meyer was grabbed by cops yesterday after he asked the former presidential candidate why he didn't challenge the rigged election of 2004 and about his membership of the skull and bones secret society. Meyer asked police what he was being arrested for as they dragged him to the back of the University Auditorium before manhandling him to the ground.


Here is the video of the tasering incident and arrest at the University of Florida:



Only when Meyer was immobile and had five officers on top of him did the police decide to send 50,000 volts of electricity coursing through his prostrate body, seemingly waiting until Meyer begged them not to do it so as to enjoy the maximum power trip from administrating the torture

Here is an excerpt from Andrew Meyers' website at http://www.theandrewmeyer.com:

"Andrew Meyer is currently incarcerated in Alachua County. While asking U.S. Senator John Kerry a question during a question and answer period following Kerry's speech at the University of Florida, Meyer was attacked by five police officers, manhandled and tasered. Fortunately there are videos and many witnesses to this injustice. Some articles and videos are linked below. Please show your support by educating yourselves and raising awareness by letting others know what has happened. Continue checking back to this website for updates."


The police are now trained that "pain compliance," a euphemism for torture, is acceptable in apprehending anyone even if that person poses no physical danger. 
In many cases, cops will tazer someone even if they offer no resistance whatsoever, simply for the sick enjoyment of the power trip as the victim begs and pleads not to be tortured.



Take the case of UCLA student Mostafa Tabatabainejad,
who was stunned over and over again for refusing to show his ID at a campus library"

Here is the subsequent video
"UCLA Students Protest For Taser Incident - Part 1"
(Speaker from A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition)

Most police departments in most countries now think it's ok to taser children.
Google "taser+children" to find out more about tasering children!


Here is the "CES Video On Tasers"

Neuro Muscular Incapacitation
(Or Electro Muscular Disruption)



Putting a weapon of this type in the hands of largely uneducated, repressed individuals who are not able to control their impulses is criminal. Tasers are used as a method of torture, not as an instrument of protection. Coupled with the suspension of Habeas Corpus by the Patriot Act, this method of police brutality is an extremely dangerous and explosive practice. It makes the "police state" concept a frightening but true reality.

Urge Your Senators To Repeal The Real ID Act - Here's How

REPEAL THE REAL ID ACT SIGNED INTO LAW BY BUSH ON 6/6/6 WHICH TAKES EFFECT ON 5/11/08 AND WHICH THREATENS OUR PRIVACY, SECURITY, AND IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE MARK OF THE BEAST WARNED OF IN THE BIBLE.



Urge your Senators to fix the civil liberties problems with the
REAL ID Act, a draconian proposal for a National ID card.



Here is the context of the letter which gets sent to your Senator:


"I am writing today to ask you to co-sponsor S. 717 "Identification Security Enhancement Act of 2007," introduced by Senators Daniel Akaka of Hawaii and John Sununu of New Hampshire. S 717 puts in place necessary reforms in the flawed REAL ID bill snuck through Congress in 2005.

REAL ID consolidates every state's DMV databases into one massive and vulnerable database. The potential for identity theft is enormous. Any disgruntled, rogue DMV employee would have access to the driving records and personal identifiers, such as copies of birth certificates and social security cards, of all the drivers in the country. These rogue employees could sell this info to identity thieves and data aggregators.

REAL ID is also a massive unfunded mandate for the states. The Department of Homeland Security itself estimates the cost of implementing REAL ID throughout the country to reach $23 billion, and the states were told to come up with the money themselves. Many states have already updated their driver's license systems and implementation of REAL ID would mean they would have to start from scratch and pay for it out of their own pockets. Naturally, much of the cost will be transferred to the driver, so people will have to show more evidence to prove their identities, pay upwards of $100 to obtain or renew their licenses, and also wait in vastly longer lines!

This poses the most trouble for the elderly who may have lost track of their birth certificates, Native Americans who live on reservations and the homeless who do not have street addresses, adopted children, naturalized citizens, and victims of natural disasters. The list goes on and on.

The states have already recognized that this will all amount to a real nightmare for Americans. Thirty states have introduced legislation to reject Real ID, and three states Arkansas, Idaho and Maine have enacted resolutions to opt out of the program altogether. The release of the Department of Homeland Security's draft regulations, which included a two-year extension of the compliance deadline, did nothing to stop the wave of state rebellion against this unfunded, misguided law. In fact, opposition to Real ID in the states continues to grow with each passing day."

Here are a few videos about Real ID and Microchipping. Watch them for your own information and protection for what is coming next May 11, 2008, when the Real ID Act takes effect. We need to fight this with everything we've got, to keep from being completely controlled by the government, our every act and movement will be monitored. Also, this is widely believed to be the long-dreaded "mark of the beast" warned about by John of Patmos in the Book of Revelation! BEWARE!


On 6/6/6, Bush Announces Mark Of The Beast System




THE REAL ID ACT


The Microchip and the National/Real ID


Mark of the Beast and End Times - RFID and GPS
Light and Body of Christ Church




Dr. Scott Johnson - The Mark of the Beast



We are living in perilous times and we MUST stand together to save our
country, our world, and ourselves. This is not the time to be apathetic.

Here is the link to the ACLU.org website to send the message to your Senators:

Support Universal Health Care For All

Hi All!

I was ready to toss my hat in the ring with Mr. Barack Obama until now, but he does not support HR 676, Universal Single-Payer Healthcare Plan. Here is a description of HR 676:



BRIEF SUMMARY of H.R. 676

The U.S. National Health Insurance Act

Introduced by John Conyers, Jr., (D-Michigan) with 75 co-sponsors (as of 8/11/06)



Establishes an American-styled national health insurance program that would create a publicly financed, privately delivered health care program that uses the already existing Medicare program by expanding and improving it for all U.S. residents. This legislation is an example of a "single-payer" system, referring to the government, instead of multiple insurance companies and you, paying the health care bills. The providers remain private and we choose who to go to.
With close to 46 million uninsured and more than that underinsured, it is time to change our inefficient, costly, and fragmented health care system. An increasing number of Americans are paying more out-of-pocket or neglecting their health.
According to Dean Baker of the Center for Economic Research and Policy, using 2005 figures, HR 676 would save $56 billion in overall health care spending while covering all of the uninsured. Administrative costs would be reduced from 20-30% under the current insurance company system, to 3%, under Medicare. The profit margin in paying for health care costs would be eliminated. The government would negotiate for lower drug prices from the pharmaceutical companies, further lowering costs.
We would move away from our present system, where annual family premiums have increased to $11,000/year and more, depending on the plan. 95% of families would pay less for health care than they do today.
Under H.R. 676, a family of three making $40,000/year would spend approximately $1900/year or $150/month in taxes for excellent health care coverage, with no co pays, deductibles, or monthly premiums.
Under H.R. 676, employers currently providing health care benefits to their employees would pay much less in taxes for better coverage, making American businesses more competitive with foreign markets that have universal health care, while protecting the health and well-being of their employees.
Health Care Services Covered


Office visits, hospitalizations, emergency care, prescription drugs, medical equipment, long term care, mental health services, drug and alcohol treatment, dentistry, eye care, chiropractic services.



Proposed Funding


A modest payroll tax on all employers and employees of 3.3% each, in addition to the l.45% payroll tax that employers/ees are already paying, for a total of 4.75% each. A 5% health tax on the top 5% of income earners; 10% tax on richest 1%. A small tax on stock and bond transfers. Closing corporate tax loopholes and repealing the Bush tax cut for the highest 1% of income earners.


The Problem:


A Failed Private Insurance System that Puts Profits Ahead of Patients


The United States has the highest health spending in the world, yet 45 million Americans have no health insurance and millions more are under-insured and unable to access care. Illness and medical bills contribute to half of all U.S. bankruptcies. Prescription drug costs are the highest in the world. Even though other industrialized democracies spend less on health care, their citizens are guaranteed coverage for life, live longer, and have better access to care.




The Solution:


Non-Profit Single-Payer National Health Insurance


Americans spend more money for less coverage and care because we are the only industrialized country that allows for-profit insurance companies to be middlemen in our health system. In their drive to enroll healthy (and profitable) patients and screen out the sick, private insurers waste vast sums on billing, marketing, underwriting, utilization review and other activities that enhance profits but divert resources from care and hassle patients and physicians. The paperwork they inflict on doctors and hospitals and nurses wastes hundreds of billions more each year.


Replacing private insurance companies with a single-payer public program - "Medicare for All" - would save more than $350 billion per year by slashing bureaucracy, enough new money to provide guaranteed comprehensive health benefits for all. (New England Journal of Medicine, 2003 


Dennis Kucinich on his Universal Single-Payer Health Care Plan

Sign Petition To Restore Habeas Corpus

  • Mood:


Sign Petition To Restore Habeas Corpus

Here is the context of the Petition To Restore Habeas Corpus:


A bipartisan amendment was introduced July 9 by Sens. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) that would fix the balance of power in our government by fully restoring habeas corpus. It is amended to the Defense Reauthorization Act for FY 2008.

Our nation's values were undermined last year as a result of the Military Commissions Act, which includes a provision stripping the courts of their power to review why detainees are being held by the United States. This is your opportunity to correct this mistake. Please vote for the amendment to restore habeas corpus.

Currently, detainees at Guantanamo - and elsewhere - are denied the right to contest the legality of their detention. The lack of independent judicial review of Guantanamo detentions is harming the reputation of our nation and undermining our system of checks and balances.

As Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said in ruling against the President's earlier efforts to deny the courts any role regarding detainees, "A state of war is not a blank check for the President." Congress should restore the constitutional system of checks and balances. Our courts are more than able to decide detention cases raising national security and individual liberties concerns.

I urge you to return us to our place as a role model of freedom and justice. Vote to restore habeas corpus.


"Demything - Habeas Corpus"
Villa Julie College students research the rights of the detained
and the laws that are changing that affect those rights.
