Welcome to Elinor's Update on the
Web
Update for February 12, 2006:
Letters,Etc.
Star-Wed. Timm Herdt-Star Editor-Essay on Clean Money Act. It will even
the
playing field by doling out taxed monies to political campaigners thereby
freeing them from dependence on the powerful monied mongers, who in turn
demand paybacks. As it is these monied mongers have control of our local,
state and nation. The program is working well in other states. Kelly Hayes-Raitt
is a
strong proponent of this Act, as are many Dems and clear thinking
R's.//Star-Wed.-R. Ostrove-On those insulting cartoons.Those cartoons bring
forth violence in the objectors to the violence ?//Star-Friday by Ira Cohen
: Republicans George W., Arnold and Elton G.'s $400 per family refund (tax
cut) plan will hurt more than it helps. Tax cuts always mean budget cuts
for vital needs of citizens and environment, etc. ( Besides what good is
$400 to one family? But $400 X millions in the pot can do a lot for the
country.)//

Canadian officials, coastal Native Canadian nations, logging companies and
environmental groups will announce an agreement that they say will protect
the
home of the spirit bear in an area that is also the world's largest remaining
intact temperate coastal rain forest.
*************
KEEP INTERNET OPEN- via Mel
Some Internet providers have already blocked their customers from accessing
competitors' services. And the biggest telecom giants - AT&T, Verizon,
Comcast, BellSouth - have announced schemes (2) to create a "tiered"
Internet in
which many websites would be relegated to second-class status at significantly
slower speeds.
Common Cause needs your help to keep the Internet fair and open for everyone!

Conejo V.U. School District annual report shows impressive figures on merits
across the board. Many higher than national averages. Do you think most
all
Asians and other above average students get more emphasis on education in
the
home?
HERE & THERE***********************
Evangelicals seriously split on global warming. Many are against Bush's
denial; some are still with him.
**************
The 2002 intended terrorist attack on L.A. was foiled by the grace of another
undisclosed country; not U.S. Intelligence as Pres. Bush "almost"
implied.

We love the olympics !!

HELP KERRY HELP US--
When Republicans and their henchmen launch their vicious attacks on our
candidates, we'll fight back with force and redouble our support for any
candidate
they target. That's what it's going to take to win - nine months of relentless
effort. And it has to start now. Let's go to work.
Sincerely, John Kerry- Make a contribution:

R.-Sen. Elizabeth Dole's latest E-Mail newsletter states that voters will
turn down Dems. in 2006 the same as they did in 2004 ? Ummmm-reports of
false
ballot results blatantly ignored? Seems there has been overwhelming evidence
uncovered to proof its validity. R's are scrambling to get abreast of the
continuous barrage of disastrous activities within their chiefdom .

SOLVE OIL PROBLEMS- via Robert Redford -- in part
----Five years of coddling oil companies has produced higher gas prices
and
left us more vulnerable than ever to oil shortages -- not to mention oil
spills, air
pollution, despoiled public lands and catastrophic global warming.----
I'm asking you to join me today in signing the Pledge to MOVE AMERICA BEYOND
OIL at http://www.nrdcactionfund.org/beyondoil/action.asp?step=2&item=53292
-------Don't let anyone tell you it's not possible. We've already lined
up
key support in Congress -- from both the progressive left and the conservative
right -- for this visionary bill that would set America on a new course
toward a clean energy future. -------
Please join me in opposing Big Oil's latest land grabs and charting a saner,
more sustainable energy path that future generations will be grateful for.
Sign the Pledge to MOVE AMERICA BEYOND OIL today.
Sincerely, Robert Redford--NRDC Action Fund

A few wise words from our forefathers: via Mel--- selected few-
"There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government
ought to
be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty."
-- John
Adams, 1772 "A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared
for a master, and deserves one!": Alexander Hamilton
"The deterioration of every government begins with the decay of the
principles on which it was founded.": Charles-Louis De Secondat - (1689-1755)
