In the summer of 2007, thousands of people in Burma took to the street to peacefully protest the military junta's decision to raise fuel prices. The protests were led by students, Buddhist monks, and other activists. On September 26, 2007, the regime cracked down on the protesters, raiding pagodas and beating and killing demonstrators.
Many of the protest organizers, as well as bloggers, actors, and poets who wrote about the events, have been detained since then. During the month of November 2008, at least 215 human rights defenders and other activists were sentenced to prison terms as long as 68 years following sham judicial proceedings.
Lengthy detentions are nothing new in Burma, where the junta, known as the State Peace and Development Council, holds more than 2,000 political prisoners. But the large number of convictions in just a few weeks, the excessive sentences, and the transfer of at least 136 prisoners to Burma's remotest prisons indicate a systematic effort to crush opposition in any form in advance of promised reforms in 2010.
Please join us in demanding that the Burmese junta immediately overturn these lengthy sentences and release these activists, as well as all others unjustly imprisoned in Burmese jails.

Dear President-elect Obama,https://secure.pfaw.org/site/SPageServer?pagename=Warren_Inauguration
We were gravely disappointed to learn that Rev. Rick Warren has been selected to deliver the invocation at your inauguration. Rev. Warren was a poor choice to lead the invocation due to his long history of hateful, divisive rhetoric on important cultural and civil rights issues. It's not just that we disagree with him on the issues--it's that he uses his powerful platform to marginalize those who disagree with him. He is not the sort of leader who can help unite Americans. We agree with you that everyone should have a seat at the table, but only those who treat others with respect should get a seat of honor.

The USDA recently put out a proposal to deal with the issue of access to pasture for meat and dairy cows being raised as organic. It prohibits the use of feedlots for organic beef and dairy cattle. It’s time for the organic industry to level the playing field for family farmers and make sure that organic animals are raised in ways that meet consumers’ expectations.
Take action now to advocate for strict organic standards.

KeyBank was approved for $2.5 billion as part of the national bailout. But instead of using the money to give relief to those hardest hit in the current economy, KeyBank is using their bailout money to increase corporate profits by buying other banks and underwriting Oak Harbor Freight Lines, a company that has cancelled its retirees health care and violated US and international labor laws affecting hundreds of striking Teamsters in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Listen to an ad about KeyBank here.

President-elect Obama and Congress are working to pass a green-jobs economic stimulus package—but it is in danger of being hijacked by the road-building lobby, which wants billions of dollars for unnecessary new roads that would increase global warming pollution.
Transportation is responsible for 30 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and 70 percent of our oil consumption. By investing in clean transportation solutions including public transportation and smart growth, the stimulus package can create green jobs and reduce our dependence on oil.
Send Congress this simple message: New Roads = New Pollution. Keep the stimulus clean.

Each spring, billions of birds descend on the wild Canadian boreal forest to build nests and raise their young. More than half of North America's bird species breed in the boreal, and for many, the ancient forest provides their only nesting ground. A stretch of just a few miles in this vast northern network of forests, lakes, river valleys and wetlands can support as many as 600 breeding pairs of migratory birds.
Yet critical nesting areas in the western boreal are under threat by tar sands production, a new type of oil development. In Alberta, tar sands mining and drilling cause significant bird habitat destruction. Toxic waste ponds result in up to 100,000 drowned and oil-drenched birds every year. And global warming changes already affecting boreal birds are exacerbated by the tar sands, which account for Canada's fastest growing source of global warming pollution.
But the Canadian government continues to allow expansion of mining and drilling for tar sands oil in the boreal forest, anticipating a growth from the current 1.3 million barrels per day to as high as 5 million barrels per day. If this destruction continues at the projected rate, as many as 166 million birds, including future generations, could be permanently lost.
What to do
Tell the Canadian government to protect bird habitat throughout the boreal forest by halting the expansion of tar sands mining.

America is in need of real leadership to reinvigorate our economy, move toward cleaner sources of energy and confront global warming. The good news is that President-elect Obama has indicated that he is poised and ready to create a comprehensive package that will simultaneously address our climate, energy and economic problems.
Last month, in front of more than 600 climate change leaders, President-elect Obama acknowledged the magnitude of the issue by saying, "Few challenges facing America -- and the world -- are more urgent than combating climate change." He also promised to reverse the past eight years of inaction by setting mandatory limits on global warming pollution when he takes office.
At this critical turning point, Americans must demonstrate support for President-elect Obama's promises and call on him to turn these promises into a plan within the first 100 days of his presidency.

As Media Matters for America has noted, the complaint against Blagojevich does not include a single allegation of misconduct by Obama, and at least one mention of "president-elect" in the complaint affirmatively undermines any suggestion of wrongdoing on Obama's part.--

No one voted on Election Day to hand over Utah's Redrock wilderness to oil companies.
But the Bush Administration cynically chose that very day to advance an outrageous plan that will sell off leases for some 300,000 acres of spectacular Utah canyonlands to oil and gas speculators.
While America was voting for Barack Obama and his vision of a clean energy future, Bush and Cheney's underlings were conspiring to plunder one of the crown jewels of our natural heritage for their fossil fuel cronies.
The auction of Redrock country will take place on December 19. At stake are world-renowned vistas near Canyonlands and Arches National Parks, as well as near Dinosaur National Monument. The highest bidders will earn the right to turn vast tracts of pristine wilderness into industrial wastelands.
The Bush Administration is racing to complete the auction of our lands before Inauguration Day, which will make sales difficult to reverse.
We must fend off this land grab now -- before the oil and gas companies can lay claim to the spoils.
Tell the Bush Administration to cancel the Redrock auction. Remind them that we the people are the rightful owners of this majestic wilderness and that we won't stand for its destruction.

But the Bush Administration cynically chose that very day to advance an outrageous plan that will sell off leases for some 300,000 acres of spectacular Utah canyonlands to oil and gas speculators.
While America was voting for Barack Obama and his vision of a clean energy future, Bush and Cheney's underlings were conspiring to plunder one of the crown jewels of our natural heritage for their fossil fuel cronies.
The auction of Redrock country will take place on December 19. At stake are world-renowned vistas near Canyonlands and Arches National Parks, as well as near Dinosaur National Monument. The highest bidders will earn the right to turn vast tracts of pristine wilderness into industrial wastelands.
The Bush Administration is racing to complete the auction of our lands before Inauguration Day, which will make sales difficult to reverse.
We must fend off this land grab now -- before the oil and gas companies can lay claim to the spoils.
Tell the Bush Administration to cancel the Redrock auction. Remind them that we the people are the rightful owners of this majestic wilderness and that we won't stand for its destruction.

On the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we ask that you contact President-elect Obama's Transition Team.
Let them know that restoring America's place in the world as a nation that stands up for human rights must be a top priority, and that the new administration should act swiftly to fix U.S. interrogation and detention policies.
No torture. No exceptions.

This is Reality --> The Clean Coal Myth
** This is Reality **
( http://www.ThisIsReality.org )
It's everywhere -- advertising from companies claiming that coal is clean. The stark reality is that there is literally no such thing as clean coal electricity in the United States today -- not one American home today is powered by a coal-burning plant that captures and stores its carbon pollution. And coal plants are responsible for a full third of America's carbon dioxide pollution -- the chief cause of global warming.
As Barack Obama and Congress begin to chart a new course on energy, we feel it's crucial to help shatter the false illusion the coal industry is promoting. Let's be clear: until U.S. coal power plants capture and store their carbon dioxide emissions, they cannot be considered "clean." And right now, none of them do. So today, in partnership with several prominent environmental organizations, the Alliance for Climate Protection is launching a major campaign we're calling, quite simply, Reality.
To see the great ad the Reality Coalition is launching and to help out, just go to:
http://www.ThisIsReality.org
Coal companies seem to be spending their money marketing coal as "clean" rather than actually making it clean. This has got to stop. That's why we're calling them out boldly and publicly on their rhetoric. We're expecting a major response from the coal industry, and we need your help.
The tag line and core message of the Reality campaign is simply "In Reality, there's no such thing as clean coal" -- highlighting that in America today, no such thing exists. We're insisting that the coal industry do more than "talk the talk," but that they now "walk the walk." We're challenging them to immediately invest in the technologies that can stop carbon pollution from entering the atmosphere. Over 600 coal plants operate now without such controls and more than 60 new dirty plants are proposed. None of these plants are "clean."
We're going to need your help to get out the word, because the coal industry has a lot of money and resources to move their message. Today, to start, we're asking folks simply to sign up to help -- to join the movement and help form a new "Reality Corps."

McDonald's has more than 600,000 employees in the US, many of whom earn less than $10/hour. But last year its CEO took home more than $13 million. Now McDonald's leadership is actively organizing to prevent its employees from standing up for themselves at work.

Here's the good news: President-elect Barack Obama has vowed to invest in clean energy and good jobs – he's asked Congress to have a bill ready for him on the day he takes office.
The bad news: A small group of powerful legislators, backed by Big Oil lobbyists, is bent on derailing our new energy future.
Leading them is Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), who's called global warming the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people" and labeled clean energy supporters like you "extremist".

Bush's church attendance in the weeks after their elections, but ignored numerous reports of Bush's infrequent church attendance over the past eight years, as well as Bush's reported lack of membership in a Washington, D.C., congregation. Smith cited a November 23 article by Politico senior political writer Jonathan Martin and White House reporter Carol E. Lee, which also ignored the reports about Bush's church attendance.--

But neither Mason nor anchor Alex Witt mentioned that recent polling data shows strong support among Democrats for President-elect Barack Obama's selections of Gates and Clinton. According to a USA Today/Gallup poll conducted December 1, 89 percent of Democrats approve of Clinton's nomination to be secretary of state, and 79 percent of Democrats approve of Obama's decision to reappoint Gates. The poll also found that 94 percent of Democrats "approve of the way Obama is handling his presidential transition."--

Dear Majority Leader Reid and Speaker Pelosi,
It’s time to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). At this moment of change and progress, it’s time to undo a serious mistake made by Congress 12 years ago. The federal government has no business discriminating against loving families by selectively withholding the 1,300 or so legal protections that only legal civil marriage affords.
It’s time for Congress to show leadership on this issue and send President-elect Obama legislation repealing DOMA which he has said he would sign.

During the December 2 edition of NBC's Today, when asked about the effect of President Bush's approval ratings on Barack Obama's election as president, Fox News contributor Karl Rove claimed that the "call for change gave Barack Obama the presidency of the United States with 2.1 percent more than Al Gore got." In fact, in 2000, Gore received 48.38 percent of the popular vote, and according to unofficial election results posted on National Public Radio's website, Obama has received 52.7 percent of the popular vote, which is a difference of 4.32 percentage points.--
