Monday, April 11: Anti-Fracking Event in Albany, NY

On Monday April, 11th, hundreds of New Yorkers from across the state will be in Albany at the State Capitol for a rally to protect our water, health, and communities from the documented dangers of dirty gas drilling called hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking.” (See what we are doing about fracking in NY state today; http://eany.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=79&Itemid=116) After the rally, these New Yorkers will meet with state lawmakers to share their concerns about fracking. If you can’t make it to Albany for the rally, send someone in your place. Your gift of $32 will pay for one New Yorker to join us for this important day. Please help us bring folks from across the state to speak out on this issue with your donation today; https://secure3.convio.net/eany/site/Donation2?df_id=1317&1317.donation=form1&JServSessionIdr004=jz2bqv8892.app334b Environmental Advocates of New York is working hard with a diverse coalition of groups to coordinate the fracking rally. We are renting two buses to bring activists from Syracuse and New York City to the state capital to speak up on behalf of our water and our health. The buses cost $3,200, and we want to be able to bring as many New Yorkers to Albany as possible. We have more than $1,100 already! We need to raise this money by Saturday, April 9th, to get the buses ready for Monday’s rally. We’re encouraging rally participants to wear blue to highlight the need to protect New York’s water from fracking. We want to bring a sea of blue to Albany and you can help New York’s leaders see blue on April 11th with your gift right now. The more New Yorkers we can bring to Albany, the stronger our message will be. Let’s show our leaders that we’re committed to protecting our precious water resources from Buffalo to the Bronx. We’re not willing to put short-term profits ahead of the long-term health and safety of our water and our families. Thank you for all you do. Sincerely, Marcy Stengel Membership Director P.S. We know not everyone can join us for this event. But if you can’t join us, consider sending someone to the rally to stand with us. Please chip in today.

Natural News Updates: Radiation Truth, FDA and Your Right to Natural Food, Safe Foods, etc.

Dear NaturalNews readers, When reading about Fukushima and radiation, you may not want to get your information from the mainstream media. As it turns out, a lot of the reporting published on some of the top-name news websites from around the world would flunk high school physics on the topic of radiation. Today, I break down an Associated Press report that demonstrates a shocking lack of knowledge about radiation and physics. And this is the news source that gets reprinted in newspapers all across the world! Read more in my article: http://www.naturalnews.com/031935_mainstream_media_millisieverts.html In an eye-opening revelation, the FDA has actually said the American people have no natural right to food unless the FDA gives you permission first. Seriously. Read more at: http://www.naturalnews.com/031934_FDA_food_freedom.html What should you do with fresh spinach that might actually be good for your children? Just kill it! That's what a microbiologist says: There's no such thing as "safe" fresh spinach. Incredible: http://www.naturalnews.com/031933_spinach_e_coli.html Have you read about the experiment using microwaved water that actually killed the plants instead of keeping them alive? I wonder what microwaved food does to your body? http://www.naturalnews.com/031929_microwaved_water_plants.html

Citizens of NE Japan Warned to Stay Indoors as Radiation Levels Rise

3.31 2011 Update: ALERT: Dangerous levels of radiation are now escaping the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant and in Tokyo and northeastern Japan residents are being warned to stay indoors on 3.31.2011, and NOT to drink the tap water, or bathe in it. There is such a scarcity of news on this issue in the USA that I would venture to call it a virtual "news blackout" on how much radiation is now passing over the continental US. The weather website WoWeather.com indicates that plumes reaching US shores and washing over the mainland have tiny to negligible levels of radioactive material. But those living in Japan near the Fukushima Plant, up to a 50 mile radius at least, should remain indoors on 3.31.2011. Go to these links on the www.woweather.com international weather forecasting site to see up to the minute jet stream flows for airborne Iodine-131 and Caesium-137: ALERT: For those in Japan stay indoors on 3.31.11 due to dangerous radiation plume from Fukushima plant. watch?v=Puo59a5sTC4 http://www.woweather.com/weather/news/fukushima?LANG=us&VAR=niludmanc131&HH=0 http://www.woweather.com/weather/news/fukushima?LANG=us&VAR=niludmanc137&HH=0&LOOP=1

Stop Nuclear Power!

They tell us the water leaking from the nuclear meltdown disaster in Japan is no biggie, it would just give you something like a "bad sunburn". A bad sunburn from water? Make no mistake, this is seriously fatal radiation, and 3 weeks into this catastrophe there is little hope of containment any time soon, much like the recent massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of New Mexico. Stop Nuclear Power Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1077.php Nuclear power generation is absolutely the worst possible investment for our energy development dollars, a technology that would not even be commercially viable without massive government subsidies with our tax dollars. And with one Three Mile Island in our own country already, and 14 near misses last year alone, it is just dancing with an inevitable Armageddon to do build any more nuclear power plants. Instead we should be winding down the ones we have so foolishly put into operation already. The "spent" fuel rod pools in the U.S. are already at 4 times over capacity, and more than that in excess of the Fukushima pools which are so dangerously overheated and spewing radiation spreading all over the globe now. End these insane policies now and get serious about a crash program to promote renewable green energy. And after you submit the action page, we'd be happy to send you for no charge one of our bumper stickers for "The Last War Crime", a new feature length dramatic film about indicting Cheney for torture. We have completed principal photography and have many good progressive activists working hard on the editing, the sound score and everything else we will need in post production to make this a theatrical quality final product. Of course if you can make a donation of any amount, please do so, because this is what makes it possible for us to not only finance this film, but also to send free bumper stickers to anyone who cannot make a donation right now. So here is the direct link where you can request your own bumper sticker for "The Last War Crime".
