Senator Barbara Boxer's
** PAC For Change **
As you may have heard, John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for President, has chosen Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Below is a statement I made today about Senator McCain's decision:
The Vice President is a heartbeat away from becoming President, so to choose someone with not one hour's worth of experience on national issues is a dangerous choice.
If John McCain thought that choosing Sarah Palin would attract Hillary Clinton voters, he is badly mistaken.
The only similarity between her and Hillary Clinton is that they are both women. On the issues, they could not be further apart.
Senator McCain had so many other options if he wanted to put a woman on his ticket, such as Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison or Senator Olympia Snowe -- they would have been an appropriate choice compared to this dangerous choice.
In addition, Sarah Palin is under investigation by the Alaska state legislature which makes this more incomprehensible.
It's clear now more than ever that we can't afford to let John McCain and the right-wing win this November. Click here to spread the word about our PAC for a Change community by inviting 5 of your friends to join us today!

** Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund **
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 29, 2008
Shocking Choice by John McCain
WASHINGTON-- Senator John McCain just announced his choice for running mate: Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska. To follow is a statement by Rodger Schlickeisen, president of Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund.
“Senator McCain’s choice for a running mate is beyond belief. By choosing Sarah Palin, McCain has clearly made a decision to continue the Bush legacy of destructive environmental policies.
“Sarah Palin, whose husband works for BP (formerly British Petroleum), has repeatedly put special interests first when it comes to the environment. In her scant two years as governor, she has lobbied aggressively to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling, pushed for more drilling off of Alaska’s coasts, and put special interests above science. Ms. Palin has made it clear through her actions that she is unwilling to do even as much as the Bush administration to address the impacts of global warming. Her most recent effort has been to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the polar bear from the endangered species list, putting Big Oil before sound science. As unbelievable as this may sound, this actually puts her to the right of the Bush administration.
“This is Senator McCain’s first significant choice in building his executive team and it’s a bad one. It has to raise serious doubts in the minds of voters about John McCain’s commitment to conservation, to addressing the impacts of global warming and to ensuring our country ends its dependency on oil.”

The Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund (www.defendersactionfund.org) provides a powerful voice in Washington to Americans who value our conservation heritage. Through grassroots lobbying, issue advocacy and political campaigns, the Action Fund champions those laws and lawmakers that protect wildlife and wild places while working against those that do them harm.

Don't Buy Big Oil Lies!
** Sierra Club **
Did you know that oil companies are already sitting on 68 million acres of leases that they aren't even drilling? Which kind of makes you wonder: Why are Big Oil and its allies suddenly desperate to get their hands on the last few places that are still protected -- our natural treasures, wildlife refuges, and pristine coastlines? They wouldn't use the concerns caused by high gas prices as an excuse to grab it ALL, would they?
Big Oil and its allies would like you to think that more drilling will ease your pain at the pump, but that's not the truth.
The bottom line is this: More oil drilling will not lower gas prices or create energy independence - it will only make the world's richest oil companies richer.
Check out our map showing how much of our country Big Oil already has.

Big Oil and their White House allies want you to believe that opening up America's coasts to offshore drilling will lower your gas prices.
In reality, Bush's own Department of Energy says that offshore drilling would have "no significant impact" on gasoline prices, and we won't even see those meager savings until 2025.
Yet Bush's Interior Secretary is using $4.00-a-gallon gas prices to justify expanding drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf -- at the same time that his oil industry friends are sitting on leases for nearly 68 million acres of untapped federal lands and water.

Gold Mine Threatens Death Valley
We need your help to stop a gold-mining proposal that would destroy up to 10 square miles of fragile desert only a few miles from Death Valley National Park.
The Bureau of Land Management is considering a proposal from Timberline Resources Company to explore for low-grade gold ore as part of its plan to put a massive gold mine on Conglomerate Mesa, just east of Owens Lake in the scenic Inyo Mountains. Conglomerate Mesa was formerly included in the Cerro Gordo Wilderness Study Area, is adjacent to the Malpais Mesa Wilderness, and may still be considered for future wilderness designation.
The Bureau of Land Management produced an inadequate Environmental Assessment for the exploratory drilling. It fails to address any of the environmental impacts that will result from a gold mine in this area and also fails to adequately address the impacts of the exploration.
By sending the Bureau the following letter, you can raise your voice to help save an important swath of California's irreplaceable desert.

Old and Senile McCain Owes America an Alzheimer's Test!
** Democrats.com **
Old and senile McCain's age is no joke. He will turn 72 on Friday and would be halfway to 73 if elected and sworn in on January 20. That would make him the oldest first-term President ever, two years older than Ronald Reagan.
Old and senile McCain is two years older than his father was when he died suddenly of a heart attack at 70. He is 11 years older than his grandfather was when he died of "sheer exhaustion" at age 61.
The United States cannot afford the risk that Old and senile McCain would die suddenly in the middle of an international crisis.
Nor can we afford the risk of dementia. 22% of Americans over 70 are affected by mild cognitive impairment, while 13% of Americans over 65 have Alzheimer's. Ronald Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at age 83, but early signs were evident during his first term. Britain's "Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher developed dementia at age 75.
Old and senile McCain has never had an Alzheimer's test, even though he has 6 of the 10 warning signs, including his inability to remember recent facts like the number of homes he owns, the $1M lawsuit he filed in 1990, or the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Old and senile John McCain owes America a thorough test for Alzheimer's and cognitive impairment long before Election Day.

Aug 21, 2008: Your Fight the Right-Wackos Links
** Food and Water Watch **
This has been the year of meat recalls. It seems like every time you turn around more ground beef is contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. USDA officials have started to talk about a plan to combat E.Coli by irradiating beef carcasses before they are processed.
More reasonable solutions to the E. Coli problem are increasing meat inspections to make sure contamination doesn't happen in the first place, and testing to make sure contaminated meat doesn't leave the plant. However, the beef industry quickly protested when USDA officials recently announced a plan to expand their inspection of E. coli O157:H7.
Irradiation is a band-aid solution for dirty meat, and could be harmful to your health. Food producers need to address the source of the problem - processing lines that are too fast and dirty conditions at plants - not promote an expensive, impractical and ineffective technology like irradiation. Irradiating meat forms chemicals known or suspected to cause cancer and birth defects.
Worst of all, the irradiated carcasses would be further processed, and wouldn't have to be labeled as irradiated, leaving consumers in the dark.
Take action now to tell Secretary Schafer that irradiating beef carcasses is not a solution to E. Coli:

** Center for Biological Diversity **
Plan Announced to Erase 35 Years of Endangered Species Protection
This week, political hack Dirk Kempthorne, secretary of the Interior, announced devastating changes to the Endangered Species Act, signaling the end of protection for thousands of imperiled species.
The new regulations would:
- Exempt thousands of federal activities from review under the Endangered Species Act;
- Eliminate checks and balances of independent oversight;
- Limit which effects can be considered harmful;
- Prevent consideration of a project's contribution to global warming;
- Set an inadequate 60-day deadline for wildlife experts to evaluate a project in the instances when they are invited to participate -- or else the project gets an automatic green light;
- Enable large-scale projects to go unreviewed by dividing them into hundreds of small projects.
In addition, last week Kempthorne and Bush tried to slip another proposed rule change under the radar that would limit protection of a species only to where it is currently found.
The Center for Biological Diversity is rallying an immense surge of opposition to prevent these changes from taking effect.
Tell Secretary Kempthorne what you think of his plans to pillage the Endangered Species Act.

Old and senile McCain giving Tax Breaks to Big Oil Companies
** Move On **
Right now, even as they make the biggest profits in American history, oil companies like ExxonMobil are getting $13.5 billion in tax breaks.
But in September, all that could change. Democratic leaders in Congress are bringing a bill to the floor that would strip these tax giveaways. Which means that solar and wind power would have more of a fair chance against big oil on the free market.
Of course, some Republicans are trying to block this from happening—oil and gas companies overwhelmingly support Republican candidates. So we need to make a lot of noise if we want Congress to listen.
Watch the Video and then ask Congress to end the tax breaks for big oil companies.

** Natural Resources Defense Council **
Bees are a critical agricultural resource that help produce $15 billion worth of crops in the United States each year. The recent unexplained mass disappearance of honey bees, called colony collapse disorder, poses a significant threat to honey bees, beekeepers, farmers and our food supply. Most bee experts believe bees could be falling sick due to a combination of factors, including pesticide exposure, invasive parasitic mites, an inadequate food supply and a new virus that targets bees' immune systems.
Last year Congress recognized colony collapse disorder as a threat and granted the Department of Agriculture emergency funds to study the problem. In addition, the department receives $20 million each year for honey bee research, pest and pathogen surveillance, and other bee-related programs. But to date, the agency has been unable to fully account for how these funds are being used or show any significant results from its work.
Urge the Department of Agriculture to fulfill its commitment to fight colony collapse disorder.

** Human Rights First **
Police detained one of China's most celebrated lawyers, Gao Zhisheng, at his home on September 22, 2007 and took him to an unknown location. He was later released and placed under house arrest. His current whereabouts are unclear, though he is believed to be under surveillance.
The detention came after Gao wrote an open letter to the U.S. Congress criticizing China for using the Olympics to crack down on human rights. During his detention from September to early November, Gao was reportedly tortured.
When the Olympics come to a close, the international attention will fade without China fulfilling its promises to improve its record on human rights. Gao is just one of many human rights defenders subjected to legal harassment, violence, arbitrary detention, and torture.
As the Olympic Games wind down, the international pressure on China to comply with its human rights commitments is also likely to diminish. However, human rights defenders like Gao will continue to be harassed under China's repressive regime.
Please call on the Chinese government to promptly stop the harassment of all human rights activists immediately.

** Union of Concerned Scientists **
In response to high gas prices, the Monkey King Bush administration and its allies are calling for new oil drilling that would take decades and eventually save only pennies-per-gallon.
Meanwhile, Bush’s Department of Transportation is undermining historic new fuel economy standards. They unrealistically assume gas will cost around $2.50 through 2020 and that hybrid vehicles won’t even exist until 2014. Because the agency balances the cost of new fuel economy technology against the gas savings the new technology provides, these outrageous assumptions are being used by the administration to reduce the automakers’ requirement to bring more fuel-efficient options to consumers.
According to the administration’s own analysis, if they simply used a more realistic gas price, the standards would save consumers enough fuel to equal about a dollar per gallon discount at the pump. This would dwarf the minuscule price drop from oil produced through new drilling without the environmental consequences of feeding our addiction to oil.
Congress must now get personally involved in saving the historic fuel economy standards they created in 2007.
Please tell your members of Congress to save fuel economy from administration tampering in order to truly address the United States' pain at the pump.

Most bee experts believe bees could be falling sick due to a combination of factors, including pesticide exposure, invasive parasitic mites, an inadequate food supply and a new virus that targets bees' immune systems.
Last year Congress recognized colony collapse disorder as a threat and granted the Department of Agriculture emergency funds to study the problem. In addition, the department receives $20 million each year for honey bee research, pest and pathogen surveillance, and other bee-related programs. But to date, the agency has been unable to fully account for how these funds are being used or show any significant results from its work.
Urge the Department of Agriculture to fulfill its commitment to fight colony collapse disorder.

Police detained one of China's most celebrated lawyers, Gao Zhisheng, at his home on September 22, 2007 and took him to an unknown location. He was later released and placed under house arrest. His current whereabouts are unclear, though he is believed to be under surveillance.
The detention came after Gao wrote an open letter to the U.S. Congress criticizing China for using the Olympics to crack down on human rights. During his detention from September to early November, Gao was reportedly tortured.
When the Olympics come to a close, the international attention will fade without China fulfilling its promises to improve its record on human rights. Gao is just one of many human rights defenders subjected to legal harassment, violence, arbitrary detention, and torture.
As the Olympic Games wind down, the international pressure on China to comply with its human rights commitments is also likely to diminish. However, human rights defenders like Gao will continue to be harassed under China's repressive regime.
Please call on the Chinese government to promptly stop the harassment of all human rights activists immediately.

** Union of Concerned Scientists **
In response to high gas prices, the Monkey King Bush administration and its allies are calling for new oil drilling that would take decades and eventually save only pennies-per-gallon.
Meanwhile, Bush’s Department of Transportation is undermining historic new fuel economy standards. They unrealistically assume gas will cost around $2.50 through 2020 and that hybrid vehicles won’t even exist until 2014. Because the agency balances the cost of new fuel economy technology against the gas savings the new technology provides, these outrageous assumptions are being used by the administration to reduce the automakers’ requirement to bring more fuel-efficient options to consumers.
According to the administration’s own analysis, if they simply used a more realistic gas price, the standards would save consumers enough fuel to equal about a dollar per gallon discount at the pump. This would dwarf the minuscule price drop from oil produced through new drilling without the environmental consequences of feeding our addiction to oil.
Congress must now get personally involved in saving the historic fuel economy standards they created in 2007.
Please tell your members of Congress to save fuel economy from administration tampering in order to truly address the United States' pain at the pump.
The Real McCain --> McCain's Mansions
** The Real McCain **
John McCain is soaring to new heights of hypocrisy on his wife's personal jet. He flies around the country bent on duping the public into believing he's "one of them," a regular guy who can empathize with Americans facing an overwhelming economic crush. What's more, he disparages those who oppose his ridiculous policy proposals as "elitist." But who's the real elitist?
The REAL McCain is a multimillionaire who owns ten luxurious homes. The REAL McCain backs President Bush's tax cuts for big corporations. The REAL McCain empathizes only with the interests of our nation's wealthy minority, not its money-strapped majority. But far too many are buying into McCain's deceit because the corporate press won't present the whole picture, so we created this video to educate the public about the REAL McCain.
Watch the video and send it to everyone you know.

He also helped other Abramoff clients by lobbying against legislation to protect Northern Mariana Islands workers from forced abortions and prostitution.

Because being a wacko Bible Thumper is the ONLY way the repulsive republican pigs can be, republican pig Rick Santorum is adding his voice to the right-wing chorus that has been loudly proclaiming that Barack Obama is not a "true Christian," that his proclamations of Christian faith are "deceitful" and that his understanding of the faith is "woefully deficient" and borderline sacrilegious.

Planning a vacation? Thinking about traveling outside the country?
If you travel outside the United States, you can kiss your right to privacy, and perhaps your laptop, digital camera and cell phone, goodbye.
With no suspicion and no explanation, the U.S. government can seize your laptop, cell phone, or PDA as you enter the United States and download all your private information -- including your personal and business documents, emails, phone calls, and web history. The Department of Homeland Security confirms that this is the official policy.
Tell Congress: it’s time to rein in travel abuses by the Department of Homeland Security.

Back in April more than 13,000 UFW supporters signed a petition asking Whole Foods to help the Beef Northwest feedlot workers. Beef Northwest worker Fortunato Diaz went to Austin, Texas to lead a delegation which turned the petitions into the Whole Foods representative. Whole Foods said they were moved by Fortunado’s story. They said they would contact Beef Northwest and urge that the company to meet with the UFW to resolve the issue of union representation.
Instead Whole Foods has done nothing to help the workers and is trying to distance themselves from the situation. Even worse, Fortunato is being made an example of by Beef Northwest for asking for Whole Foods’ help.
On Tuesday, when weather.com put the high at 99 degrees, Fortunato told us how Beef Northwest supervisors sent him walking to remote areas of the ranch around a mile away from all the other workers and did not even provide him with drinking water in the searing heat! Not only is this retaliatory action morally wrong, but by failing to provide him with drinking water in the searing heat Fortunato’s life was put at risk.
Whole Foods sells approximately 60% of all Country Natural Beef produced at Beef Northwest.
Tell Whole Foods that their lack of response is not acceptable.

One More Chance for Higher Gas-mileage Standards
Faced with melting sea ice, drowning polar bears, and a world at risk from global warming, the Bush administration is still blocking one of the single-most important solutions: higher gas-mileage standards for U.S. automobiles. Despite an existing law that requires the Department of Transportation to set gas-mileage standards at the "maximum feasible level," the administration is likely to push through a new set of inadequate standards for model years 2011-2015 before leaving office.
Please sign our petition to Transportation Secretary Mary E. Peters demanding fuel-economy standards that spur automakers away from "business as usual" and toward deployment of new technologies, increased fuel economy, and decreased greenhouse gas emissions, as required by law.

The World in Action
The conflict in Georgia is spinning out of control. Russian troops have moved deep inside the country in what looks not far short of full-scale invasion, and tens of thousands of civilians are in danger, with many becoming refugees overnight.
Diplomats are scrambling to find a solution, and the European Union has proposed a ceasefire and withdrawal of all forces to their previous positions. China has also called for an "Olympic Truce", an ancient tradition that asks all countries to cease hostilities during the Olympic Games.
A humbled Georgia has agreed to the ceasefire, now French and Finnish foreign ministers are bringing the proposal to Moscow. In the next 48 hours, a massive global public outcry would show Russian and Georgian leaders that the world wants a ceasefire, and continuing the invasion would seriously damage Russia's international reputation. Click below to sign our emergency petition and then forward this email to your friends and family. We'll publicize the petition in the media and deliver it to the UN Security Council and Russian government:

Old and Senile McCain: Get back to work!
** Move On **
At the world's largest motorcycle rally, old and senile John McCain angrily accused Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi of skipping out on votes to solve the energy crisis. "Tell 'em to get to work!" he shouted.
This from the man who has skipped more votes than any other senator.
McCain even missed two key votes to repeal Big Oil tax breaks and ramp up solar and wind power—both of which lost by a single vote!
We put together a short video overnight to call McCain's bluff. Please check it out, then pass it on.

** We Can Solve It **
There's been a lot of pressure lately to open up protected areas for oil drilling.
Of course, that pressure is fueled by stampeding lobbyists and oil companies who benefit the most from America's addiction to oil. What's their solution to our oil addiction? More oil!
Common sense says drilling in protected areas is not the answer. Switching is.
Switching to 100% clean, renewable electricity within 10 years.

America's "little leopard," the ocelot, is in grave danger. Fewer than 100 of the endangered animals still roam the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Now the Department of Homeland Security is starting to build 70 miles of fence in the Lower Rio Grande Valley that would cut through and destroy thorn scrub habitat important to the ocelot and prevent the little cats from swimming across the Rio Grande to mate.
Take action today – Urge your member of Congress to become a co-sponsor of the Borderlands Conservation and Security Act of 2007 (H.R. 2593), and to call for a repeal of the waiver giving the Department of Homeland Security authority to by-pass national environmental laws to construct the fence.

Peru sits on a treasure trove of oil, gas, and mineral wealth, with mining and drilling companies making huge profits. Yet many people in the regions where these resources are exploited live in poverty.
The money from these industries does not always reach the communities that need it most. It is difficult for communities to find out where the money goes.
A group of oil, mining, and gas companies operating in Peru—the Sociedad Nacional de Minería, Petróleo, y Energía (SNMPE)—faces a big decision: open up payments to public accountability or keep secrets.
By opening up their payments to public scrutiny, members of the SNMPE could help Peruvians regain some of their own wealth and break the shroud of secrecy that surrounds their oil, gas, and mineral industries.

O'Reilly thinks he can teach our children proper behavior, and we can't think of a worse father figure than an angry, hate-filled shock jock notorious for telling guests to "Shut up!" We wondered what would happen if kids read O'Reilly's book and then saw the real O'Reilly for themselves. So we put together a video to illustrate O'Reilly's duplicity.
It's bad enough O'Reilly spews hate-filled lies on his shows to grown-up audiences, do we really want our children to be exposed to the same behavior? Do we really want this angry adult influencing our kids? While we only subjected the kids in our video to a few minutes of O'Reilly in order to prevent permanent damage, imagine the harm his children's book could do!
