The cement manufacturing industry is a significant source of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) that contaminate the air we breath, the water we drink, and the fish we eat. EPA’s own estimates reveal that the nation’s cement kilns emit approximately 5 tons of mercury, 580 tons of organic HAPs, and more than 15,000 tons of hydrogen chloride each year.

things that aren't being reported by our woefully incompetent national
media along with some things being actively covered up by those that take
our tax dollars as salary.

large part, responsible for what they do. This is where your citizenship and

"The hope of the industry is that over time the market is so flooded [with GMOs] that there's nothing you can do about it. You just sort of surrender," food industry consultant Don Westfall, a food consultant who has worked with the biotech industry, told the Toronto Star in 2001.

Need a source of news and radio content that seeks to really inform those that want to know what's going on, not simply what others allow you to find out. This has become even more important since the corporate controlled FCC has worked to allow more and more broadcast sources to be controlled by fewer and fewer individuals.
It won't be long before the only news you will hear is what news has been selected for you based on the special interests of those controlling it
Free Radio Santa Cruz
(very strong before raided by the FCC in November)
and
Democracy Now
(also avail on KPFT Archives)
KPFT in Houston is the Pacifica Radio station in this state and one of the best sources for finding out about stuff that effects you (know it or not, it still happens). They are what I wish 90.1 KERA would work towards. KERA is great but is too much under the thumb of corporate sponsors.
If you can't listen ( Winamp is recommended) , download some of the shows from the archive and listen off-line
Another site that will make you wonder about the things
you should be thinking about is
Radio 4All
Bookmark this link as another great starting place to
find where all the really progressive people are (since they appear to have
vanished from print and broadcast media, what a surprise
).
They have gone to internet radio.
If your not mad, your not paying attention, and
Internet radio will help you pay attention.
If you get enough people to listen,
In the future it may not make you so mad.

Thank you Democratic party for including as one of your election platforms - protecting seriously ill citizens from being arrested by our federal government when they need medicine.
If you can't keep drugs out of our prisons,
how are you going to keep them out of the schools?
Let me see if I understand this ;
If we decriminalize Pot - lots of powerful
people will not get as much money, can you
say hogs at the public trough.
1. State and local authorities around the nation
will lose millions in federal money.
Oh yea, we got "Homeland Security" now.
2. Prisons (one of the fastest growing industries
in the nation) will lose millions in government money
when they can't jail as many people.
3. The alcohol industry will lose millions in
business since pot smokers tend to drink less
(assuming the alcohol industry will not be the one
to handle distribution of pot - entirely possible).
We won't talk about the truly needy that
could use pot as a medicine - they get arrested.
(see note above regarding prisons)
I know, lets make alcohol illegal,
Oh wait - that didn't work, it only
strengthened the black market. Shsss.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt, 1918
Would you like to hear the real news instead of the weapons of mass distraction put out by what is now only about 3 conglomerates that supply 80 % of the U.S. with news. It's not going to change anytime soon unless you really want to know and act on it.

"Of course the people don't want war... But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders... That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." Sounds familiar - ed
