Old and Senile McCain's Gimmick on oil prices
** Move On **
McCain thinks offshore drilling will be the issue that wins him the White House. He has ads up now blaming Barack Obama for high gas prices, and touting drililng as a miracle cure for our energy woes. He is preying on people's anxieties about energy prices -- and it is working. If we don't fight back now, and make sure people know offshore drilling is a gimmick that won't work, we could end up losing the election AND the fight for clean energy.
Support our new ad "Gimmick" -- it tells the truth about offshore drilling, and is a powerful counter to McCain's attacks.

Old and Senile McCain Ignores the small details...
** Yahoo News **
Details can bedevil any presidential candidate. Repulsive Republican Pig John McCain announced this week that he backs an anti-affirmative action referendum that has drawn sharp debate in Arizona, his home state. Then he added a curious note: He doesn't know that much about it.
And when McCain was asked earlier this month about insurance coverage for Viagra but not contraceptives, he admitted he wasn't sure about that issue, though he had once voted against requiring coverage for birth-control pills.

Old and Senile McCain: Whore to Oil Companies
** Move On **
Standing before a room of oil company executives in June, old and senile John McCain flip-flopped and declared support for coastal oil drilling. Now the Washington Post is reporting that, within days, oil and gas execs ponied up nearly $1 million to elect old and senile McCain. It's another piece of evidence that in a old and senile McCain White House, oil companies will call the shots—just as they have with Monkey King Bush.
Old and senile McCain's hoping to use gas prices as a wedge issue to win the election. That's why it's so critical that we keep spreading the message that old and senile McCain's been heavily influenced by the oil companies—and so we can't count on him to solve the energy crisis. When people think of Monkey King Bush, they think "oil," but that's not true of old and senile McCain yet—even though his energy policy is almost identical to monkey King Bush's and his campaign is literally run by oil lobbyists!
Here's a video that makes the case, from our friends at Progressive Accountability. Please check it out, then forward it to a few friends, post it on a blog, or stick it on your Facebook page.

With gas prices at over $4 per gallon, every member of Congress is feeling the pressure to support more drilling. The risk to our sensitive public lands and offshore waters has never been higher.
This week Congress may vote to lift the decades-old ban on offshore drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, accelerate leasing in Alaskan waters, or sacrifice the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in a quest for more oil. Some elected officials are also talking about rushing headlong towards an oil shale program that could spell disaster for up to two million acres of public lands in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah.
American consumers need a real solution. Despite a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign from oil companies to convince the nation otherwise, the public is increasingly in agreement with experts who assert that opening vast amounts of public lands and waters will not lower the prices we face at the pump.
The "drill everywhere" approach would, however, leave our lands irrevocably changed, prolong our nation's addiction to oil, and postpone critically important investment in alternative, clean energy technologies.
Your help is urgently needed. Tell Congress to reject this "drill everywhere" approach right now.

** Center for American Progress **
Although a majority of the House voted for selling oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve, a narrow minded, short sighted conservative minority in the House was able to block this essential energy price relief bill just to keep prices high and oil companies rich. Their proposed solution to drill for oil in protected places is running on empty since this will not produce oil or ease economic suffering for a decade or more. That's not going to help anyone who really needs help.
But if you email your senators, you can persuade them to pass this needed relief when they take it up before the August recess.
Please email your senators to support selling oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve and using the profits to invest in low carbon energy solutions. Tell them not to let anyone block this effort to help hard working American families.

** UFW **
Deadly pesticide endosulfan banned in the European Union and 20 nations, but in the United States the EPA allows its continued use.
The UFW and a broad coalition of farm worker, public health, and environmental groups just filed a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to stop the continued use of the hazardous pesticide endosulfan. Science clearly shows that the use of this chemical puts the health of exposed farm workers and children in agricultural communities at risk.
There’s plenty of evidence and no need for more studies. Join us in demanding that the EPA take action. Send your e-mail today.
--
** ACLU **
Here they go again. The Monkey King Bush’s Attorney General, Michael Mukasey, called on Congress to take dramatic steps to subvert the Constitution.
Mukasey is demanding that Congress issue a new declaration of war that would make the entire globe -- including the United States itself -- a “battlefield” where the president decides who will be locked up forever.
Instead of ending the Bush system of injustice, he wants Congress to make it permanent.
Tell Congress to reject the Bush/Mukasey plan to subvert the Constitution.

** Food and Water Watch **
Today, nearly a billion people are on the brink of malnutrition or even starvation because of the global food crisis. Encouraging local food production is key to resolving the crisis, however, global trade bureaucrats meeting in Geneva this week are pushing yet another misguided trade deal.
Ask Congress to support local production by sending food aid in the form of cash instead of crops.

Every day, Americans pay more and more at the pump, while oil companies bring in record profits.
Now, those same oil companies and their congressional allies are proposing more drilling - even though nearly every energy expert agrees this is one problem America can't drill its way out of. The oil companies say they're doing it to help lower the cost of gas. But scratch the surface, and you'll find it's the oil companies that truly benefit from new offshore drilling.
Don't let them continue to make money off of high gas prices while working Americans remain dependent on the energy of the past.
Instead, tell Congress we need a real, comprehensive solution to America's energy crisis.
Let's invest in clean, renewable energy and homegrown fuels, that will create millions of high-quality, green-collar jobs and reduce our dependence on oil.

he era of cheap oil is over. Lifting the offshore drilling ban will not bring it back.
The only way to free ourselves from expensive oil is to get off oil. And the best way to do that is to support market-based policies that unleash clean energy innovation.
Take action now -- Tell your members of Congress that you oppose lifting the ban on offshore drilling and that you support energy innovation to get us off oil.

The press this week reported on an offensive protocol by the Census Bureau for how it intends to handle married same-sex couples during the 2010 Census. The Bureau will NOT count legally married gay couples as married, and will instead EDIT the data submitted by married gay couples to change their status to "unmarried partners."
Please sign on to our petition to the Census Bureau urging them not to do this.

There's a lot of speculation these days over who is to blame for our rising gas prices. But one thing is for certain: drilling for oil off our coasts won't get us out of this predicament.

We need your help to make sure that doesn't happen.

** Center for Biological Diversity **
At a time when fisheries are suffering, and environmental review and public feedback on fisheries management are crucial, the Bush administration is proposing to make an end run around both -- which could have catastrophic effects on management of crucial resources such as sea turtles, corals, and valuable fish populations.
Instead of streamlining environmental review of fisheries management, the Fisheries Service's proposed rule creates a cumbersome system that makes compliance difficult. In addition, the proposed rule makes it hard for citizens to weigh in by vastly shortening public comment periods from a mandatory 45 days to as little as two weeks, and introduces multiple new ways for fishery managers to avoid environmental review and public participation entirely. Moreover, the rule would put environmental review authority in the hands of fishery management councils -- advisory bodies largely made up of appointed members with significant financial interests in the fisheries they manage -- rather than the agency accountable to the public for the state of our fisheries.
The Fisheries Service's proposed rule threatens the health of our fisheries and the public's ability to do anything about it. Worse yet, it sets an ominous precedent for the government to roll back crucial NEPA requirements for other categories of agency actions across both land and sea.
Please tell the agency to take back these flawed regulations and develop new regulations that comply with the spirit and letter of the Act.

Old and Senile McCain: "It's all in YOUR Head!"
** Move On **
Have you noticed that Monkey King Bush and old and senile McCain keep telling Americans our problems are all in our heads and that we just need to feel better?
Recently, old and senile McCain's campaign co-chair right-wing pig Phil Gramm had to step down because of controversy over his comment that we were in the middle of a "mental recession." But the the truth is, old and senile McCain himself has repeatedly said our problems are merely "psychological"—Gramm was just more openly condescending about it.
Gramm's gone—but so far, the media's giving old and senile McCain a free pass for saying similar things. So we made a video. It's short, and funny, and it'll help spread the word. Please check it out, then pass it on!

Karl Rove has made a career out of distorting facts to destroy political rivals. In the case of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, he went even further: he deliberately put a political opponent in prison based on trumped up charges. The GOP couldn’t beat the most successful Democratic politician in recent Alabama history at the ballot box. So instead, at Karl Rove’s direction, the Bush Justice Department used U.S. attorneys to cook up a false criminal case against Siegelman in order to hand the Governor’s Mansion over to the Republican Party.
It’s no surprise that Karl Rove puts politics before due process, democracy and civil rights. That’s why even when faced with a subpoena from Congress, Rove has refused to testify. Unlike Don Siegelman, Karl Rove is breaking the law.
Rove believes that he is not only above the law, but that he controls it. He’s wrong.

Since its inception in 2002, the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act has provided millions of dollars for vital conservation efforts, including monitoring efforts, habitat restoration, education, and other projects in the United States, Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

WTF is with all these allegedly straight right-wing religious nutballs and their obsession with gay sex?

July 15, 2008 -- Your Fight the Right-Wing Wacko Links of the Day.
** Natural Resources Defense Council **
Oil companies and their allies in Congress claim that drilling in America's oceans and coastal areas would help solve the energy crisis and have proposed ending the 27-year moratorium on new offshore drilling. But offshore drilling would neither solve our energy needs nor significantly lower gas prices. Instead, drilling would harm America's economy, health, oceans and coasts.
Proponents of offshore drilling claim it would reduce gas prices, even though the Department of Energy has determined that it would not significantly do so. Oil companies currently have 5,500 offshore leases they are not drilling, and with 80 percent of the untapped oil in offshore areas already open to development, they do not need access to more areas to increase supply. And while the U.S. oil industry says it wants even more access to sensitive ocean areas to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers, American-based companies are shipping record amounts of gasoline and diesel fuel to other countries. This proposal is simply a way to give oil companies unfettered drilling access to our oceans and coastal areas.
In addition, opening up additional offshore areas to drilling poses real threats to our ocean and coastal ecosystems and economies. Offshore drilling creates toxic waste products that contaminate fish and marine life. Offshore wells emit air pollutants that are known carcinogens, cause respiratory problems and worsen global warming. And current cleanup methods can only remove a small fraction of oil spilled in marine waters, where it is toxic for most species.
America needs real, long-term solutions for the energy crisis, but oil companies and their allies are not delivering them. We need to use less oil by improving energy efficiency and utilizing renewable energy. In doing so, we can achieve energy independence, fight global warming, and jump-start our nation's economy
Tell Congress not to allow drilling off our coasts

** Senator Barbara Boxer **
Recently, running contrary to every shred of common sense, President Bush lifted the presidential moratorium on drilling for oil off our precious coastline. And now he wants Congress to lift the moratorium as well.
In the final months of his failed presidency, George Bush wants to give the oil companies a huge gift that threatens our coasts, our economy, and our jobs -- while not doing one single thing to lower gas prices.
Tell my colleagues in Congress to stand firm: Sign my petition to the House and Senate leadership, urging them not to lift the Congressional moratorium on offshore drilling!

Former Senator Jesse Helms (widely known racist, sexist, homophobic right-wing pig), the notorious author of dozens of measures attacking GLBT and HIV-positive people during his years in the Senate, died on July 4 (Good riddance!). Unfortunately, the legacy of discrimination against HIV-positive people he helped to create lives on in a law that bars nearly every foreign person with HIV from entering the United States. That's right – with very few exceptions, an HIV-positive individual cannot come to the United States for any reason, be it to visit, work, study or become a legal resident.
It's an embarrassment and an outrage. And at long last, we have a chance to bring it to an end.
Ask your Senator to stand up against bias and ensure that the ban on HIV-positive visitors and immigrants is repealed.

July 14, 2008 -- Your Fight the Right-Wing Wacko Links of the Day.
** Sierra Club **
Last week governors across the West convened at the Western Governors' Association conference in Wyoming. At this conference your governor pledged to protect the West’s most important wildlife corridors from oil and gas drilling. As you know, elk, deer, pronghorn and other wildlife require habitat protected from oil and gas drilling.
We now need to ask U.S. Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne to support our governors in their attempts to control drilling and protect wildlife.
Oil and gas drilling has exploded across the West, disrupting the lives and traditions of people and wildlife here. It is time for some balance to be restored in managing our lands and resources.
Ask Secretary Kempthorne to support protections for the West's wildlife corridors now!

** Fox Attacks **You're not going to believe what FOX is up to now-we could hardly believe it ourselves. Not only are they smearing Michelle Obama with racist stereotypes, but then they offer a feeble apology that they believe gives them the right to slander her again. That's what happened when FOX called Michelle and Barack Obama's fist bump a "terrorist fist jab," apologized, and then less than a week later referred to Michelle Obama as Barack's "Baby Mama."
FOX's long history of racism is nothing new, but it has been particularly egregious when it comes to their coverage of the Obamas. Racism and fearmongering have no place in our country or its politics, despite what FOX would have you believe. That's why we put together this video, FOX Attacks Michelle Obama.
We cannot allow FOX's heinous smears and scare tactics to continue. Sign our petition and stop FOX from injecting racism, prejudice, and fear into our political dialogue.

Anti-environmentalists in Congress are adding amendments to every bill they can get their hands on, calling for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, many offshore areas, and other sensitive regions—even to bills that aren't remotely related to energy!
Drilling is NOT the answer to our energy crisis.
Tell your members of Congress that we must pursue clean, renewable energy alternatives. Drilling in the Arctic and off our beaches will only perpetuate our dependence on dirty fossil fuels and slow progress towards a clean energy future.

July 01, 2008 -- Your Fight the Right-Wing Wacko Links of the Day.
** Rain Forest Action Network **
Peabody Coal -- the largest coal company in the world -- is exploiting government loopholes to re-open the permitting process for expanded coal mining on Dineh (Navajo) and Hopi reservations in the Black Mesa of northeastern Arizona. Peabody is funded by Citi and Bank of America, and we only have until July 7 to stop the company's new mining plan.
Our friends and partners from the Black Mesa Water Coalition have requested that we join them in this pivotal moment to stop Peabody from continuing its 30-year tradition of environmental racism in the Black Mesa. In addition to mining the region for coal, Peabody has drained more than 4,600 acre-feet of Navajo and Hopi drinking water every year from 1971-2006 in order to transport coal as slurry to a coal-fired power plant in Nevada. If Peabody gets the permit to expand its mining operations, the company will start draining water yet again!
Send a letter to the Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation and Enforcement now opposing the plan!

We will deliver the petition when we have 2,500 signatures, so please insure that we will have enough signatures by forwarding this petition to your friends and family.
Public Citizen is not asking Ford to bring back the Model T; it was an unacceptably unsafe vehicle. However, many technologies exist that can make vehicles both safer and more fuel-efficient. As Americans struggle to buy the necessities of life because of the astronomical cost of gas, we must demand vehicles that are more fuel-efficient and use alternative fuel sources.
