WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
cease all hydraulic fracturing pending an independent, third party investigation of its adverse effects.
All current and future hydraulic fracturing should be immediately and indefinitely ceased pending an in-depth, unbiased, and independent third party investigation of the adverse environmental and health impacts of this practice. Those charged with the investigation should in no way be influenced or affiliated (directly or indirectly) with any companies or corporations involved in the funding or practice of hydraulic fracturing, or who, in any way, profit from it. Force Companies to disclose every chemical used in the process of hydraulic fracturing to the general public and those in charge of the investigation. Make companies and corporations involved in hydraulic fracturing accountable for all environmental damages and health care issues resulting from the practice.

A bill is going to be presented in Florida by representative/ bishop minister Charles Van Zant. The bill would criminalize all forms of abortion, even ones that include a rape victim or incest. The abortion providers would be presented with first degree felony charges and could serve for life.

He stated that his intention with this bill is not merely to end abortion in Florida, but to end it for the entire nation. He stated that, "We wrote it because we expect it to be challenged in court," Van Zant said of the bill. "The Roe v. Wade decision is unconstitutional -- not this bill." His expectation is to bring this Florida law to the US Supreme Court, in order to have a new decision on Roe v Wade.

The following is an open letter that I wrote to Charles Van Zant...

Hopefully you will find some humor in this as we get nearer to the end of the Bush regime.

Roughly two weeks ago on September 19, 2007, Colin Powell came to my school Saint Xavier University in Chicago and gave a lecture, just days after the John Kerry incident. Below is my response to what was said...

Colin Powell’s lecture on September 19, 2007 was an impediment on humanity and was disturbing on so many levels. Never before had I felt such a strong need to scoop up all our soldiers and shield them from this onslaught on reason that they are risking their lives for. I had gone to his lecture hoping to hear some semblance of remorse in his voice for his deceit, perhaps a slight quiver, but I heard nothing... I witnessed nothing. His obvious disdain for humanity sent shivers down my spine and tears welled up in my eyes, because I was not looking at just any man without integrity, but a powerful one. As the audience obediently clapped at his jokes about airplanes, my heart broke for our soldiers in Iraq, and I wondered who stole America’s ability to question, re-examine, and ultimately think critically.
