    This BP disaster is stupidity and greed to the nth degree. According to the embedded media, it was reported that if BP had install a shut-off valve, a 500K cost, this tragedy would not have happened, ergo, they should be fined out of their greedy, miserable corrupted existence.

    The Dirty Business Of Turning This Latino Farmworker Town Into A Toxic Wasteland

    **Update via  The Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment

    Last Friday we submitted over 4,900 signatures and comments to the Department of Toxic Substances Control letting them know we aren't ok with Kettleman City being our state's dumping ground! Thank you to everyone who signed and the folks at Cuéntame for speaking up for what is right. We will keep you posted on the future of the dump's permit to expand by a whopping 50% (it is already the largest hazardous waste dump this side of the Mississippi River!)

    Kettleman City is a rural, majority Latino and farmworker community halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is home to the largest hazardous waste dump this side of the Mississippi and to shockingly high rates of childhood cancer, birth defects and miscarriages - two facts residents believe to be connected. WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO EXPOSÉ.

    This nation was born out of racism, ergo, it’s stupid trying to take the racism out of this “Christian and democratic” nation. My mother taught me from a very early age that for racist comments, I should have deaf ears. Would anybody believe what a Nazi would say about the Jews? Ergo, if I don’t give a rat’s ass about these KKK crowd, why others? Unless of course, it is to their choir, but those are already a hopeless cause, ergo, let’s not pay attention to such garbage. Even worse, those “illegals” were here even before the pilgrims decided to come here to massacre native Americans to steal their land. I think that men of good will will never, ever pay attention to such baloney.

  • signed Debbie: Say No To CCA! via 2012-05-12 16:37:07 -0700
    I’m afraid to say it, but when money talks, the citizens are up the creek w/o a paddle. It doesn’t matter the party, they all are corrupt. It’s easier to grab a tiger by the tail, than to see politicians doing the things they were elected to do. That baloney about our nation being a democracy is hogwash. We’ve never been one, not now, not ever.

    Debbie: Say No To CCA!

    Why is FL Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz siding with the Corrections Corporation of America and not her constituents in Southwest Ranches? 98% of her constituents DO NOT want a new for-profit immigrant detention center!

    IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT FOR SALE

    We call on Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-20) to WITHDRAW her current endorsements for CCA’s project.

    The Obama Administration announced a change in the priorities for detentions and deportations, to focus on real national security concerns, not on separating parents from their children or deporting DREAMers who are only seeking a better future.

    It is time for ICE to stop the immigrant money making machine and tell CCA to GO AWAY from Southwest Ranches.

    THIS PETITION IS NOW CLOSED - WE REACHED OUR GOAL!!! But feel free to leave your comment!

  • signed Side With Justice Over Racism! 2012-04-25 16:21:01 -0700
    You can add my name, but with this supreme farce, AKA the tea partier court, racism is their motor and dynamo and as we all know, racism is, was and forever will be part of America’s landscape. This, unfortunately, is an effort in futility. America will rather give up Christianity than racism and with the worst supreme farce ever, the racist have it.

    Side With Justice Over Racism!

    images.jpeg

    The United States Supreme Court is hearing arguments in Arizona v. United States, the Obama administration’s challenge to Arizona’s anti-immigration law, SB1070. What they won't be hearing is what and who has fueled this discriminatory legislation.

    Will justice triumph over racial profiling and discrimination fueled by supremacist and nativist fringe groups? We need to stand together in this most pressing time.

    We need to show that together we reject this hate agenda.

    Sign the pledge stating that YOU side with justice over racism!
