I signed this petition about the Koch brothers -- now can you?

Thu, 23 May 2013 22:17:39 GMT

Friend,

The climate change denying, union-busting, voter disenfranchising billionaires want to create a mouthpiece for their right-wing, “free market” ideals by buying eight newspapers from the Tribune Company, including the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and others. We have to stop them.

Use the link below to sign the petition with me. Then can you share with some of your friends, as well?

#Guantanamo ends now - #gitmo #closegitmo

Wed, 22 May 2013 21:16:31 GMT

We could finally see the shameful Guantanamo prison camp shut down, but it's going to take a final global push for President Obama to do the right thing.

Tell the Senate: Repeal the Monsanto Proection Act

Wed, 22 May 2013 16:16:52 GMT

Senator Jeff Merkley is introducing an amendment to repeal the Monsanto Protection Act – the outrageous provision which allows Monsanto and other companies to ignore court orders to stop selling their GMO seeds, despite safety concerns. Tell the Senate to take action: http://act.credoaction.com/sign/monsanto_protection_act/?sp_ref=.4.125.e.539.2&referrer_akid=7959.2988458.3HNdni&source=mailto_sp

Give students the same interest rates on loans as the big banks

Tue, 21 May 2013 21:14:19 GMT

Hi,

I signed a petition to The United States House of Representatives and
The United States Senate which says:

"Wall Street banks – the ones that wrecked our economy – should not be
getting a better interest rate on their government loans than young
people trying to go to college."

Hi,

I signed a petition to The United States Senate which says:

"Written anonymously and passed in secret, the Monsanto Protection Act
allows agri-business to ignore court orders blocking the sale of
genetically-engineered seeds.

I support the repeal of this outrageous special interest provision -

Tell Governor O'Malley to Ban #Fracking in Maryland!

Mon, 20 May 2013 20:21:46 GMT

Hi,

Governor O'Malley's fracking commission released a report warning
about the dangers of fracking. But instead of heeding the
recommendations of the report, Governor O'Malley is trying to expedite
rules for fracking.

We already know that fracking causes significant impacts to our air,
water, agriculture, public health, and climate. There is no place for
fracking in our state. But the Governor is ignoring the
recommendations from his own commission to open our state up to
fracking by proposing even weaker regulations that cater to the oil &
gas industry.

Tell Governor O'Malley he needs protect Marylanders and stop pursuing fracking.

That's why I signed a petition to Governor Martin O'Malley.

IRS stalls NAGR- #holder #obama #doj #2a #nra #rkba #tcot #tgdn #rights #privacy #gunrights #molonlabe

Thu, 16 May 2013 21:16:33 GMT

proclus@gnu-darwin.org has sent you a personal message:

NAGR is highly recommended, and a great gun rights group. The fact that they are being harassed by the IRS comes as no surprise, and seems to confirm that the harassment is politically motivated. Regards, proclus http://www.gnu-darwin.org/

---------------------

										
										Dear GNU-Darwin Action Group,

										What else will you and I find out?

										Every day, more facts about the Obama administration’s radical third-world tactics hits the news . . .

										Last week, you and I learned the Obama administration wiretapped Associated Press reporters.

But perhaps the worst of it all was that the Obama administration used the IRS to target and harass political enemies!

										In fact, the National Foundation for Gun Rights non-profit filing with the IRS is still yet to be approved after 19 months -- and I can’t help but think I’ve been one of the IRS 500 top targets for “extra scrutiny.”

										GNU-Darwin Action Group, months ago, as the fight over gun control just began to rear its ugly head, your National Association for Gun Rights drew a line in the sand . . .

										No more gun control.  No deals.  Not one more gun owner’s name.  Not a single bit more information about American gun owners for the federal government.  PERIOD.

										Stories like these are exactly why.

										Today, I’m counting on you to sign a NEW No Gun Control/No Deals petition to your U.S. Congressman and Senators IMMEDIATELY.

										If you've already signed your new petition, I’m counting on you to forward this email to every pro-gun friend and family member you have.

										The Obama administration is clearly drunk on power.

										Early in President Obama’s first term, you and I learned firsthand the lengths his administration would go to try and RAM gun control down our throats when they just looked the other way while bloodthirsty Mexican gangs ran guns across the border -- resulting in the tragic death of U.S. Border patrol agent Brian Terry.

										That should have tipped enough folks off . . .

										But it didn’t.

										And in December of last year, after the horrific tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, the Obama administration jumped into action, pushing a massive wish list of anti-gun schemes, thinking they had the perfect excuse to ram gun control down our throats.

										Not one would have made an ounce of difference.

										Criminals and killers don’t get their guns legally.

										Like the Newtown killer, they often steal them.

										GNU-Darwin Action Group, I know I’m not breaking any news here, but the gun-grabbers know all of this. 
										*** They don’t want more “background checks” (GUN REGISTRATION) to prevent murders. 
										*** They don’t want an expanded federal “NO GUN” database to keep the mentally ill from getting their hands on guns.
										*** They don’t even want to ramp up penalties on gun crimes to stop “straw purchasers.” 
									They want our names, our information and records of our gun purchases so they can set the stage for the day they can finally CONFISCATE our guns.

									And they prey on Americans’ fears of “too much freedom” and politicians’ desire to appear “reasonable” to hasten that day.

									Well, as Thomas Jefferson said, “I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude.”

									And I have one simple message to politicians in BOTH parties.

									If you think it’s “reasonable” to hand this President and this lawless administration more information about American gun owners after all the outrageousness you and I see hitting the news, THINK AGAIN.

									GNU-Darwin Action Group, if you and I hand over our freedom and our liberties, it WILL eventually be abused by those in power -- regardless of whether it’s President Obama or someone else occupying the White House.

									I’m tired of watching Washington, D.C. strip away our liberties.

									And I want to do everything I possibly can to ensure our Second Amendment freedoms aren’t flushed away from members of both political parties in Congress.

									If you agree, I’m counting on you to do two things . . .

									First, sign your new No Gun Control/No Deals petition to your U.S. Congressman and Senators IMMEDIATELY.

									During the last fight on gun control, your National Association for Gun Rights delivered literally every petition we had.

									I need to reload.  And FAST.

									Secondly, please forward this email to every pro-gun friend and family member you have.

									Thirdly, please chip in $20 TODAY.

									Your generous contribution will help me reach even more Second Amendment supporters.

									But if that’s too much, please agree to $10 or at least $5 immediately.

									GNU-Darwin Action Group, Members of Congress who want to hand this President -- or any other -- more information about American gun owners after the news of the last week need to have their head checked.

									You and I have a chance to seize the momentum in this fight over gun control.

									But we have to act.

									So please sign your NEW No Gun Control/No Deals petition, forward this email to as many friends and family members as you can, and chip in $10 or $20 TODAY.

For Freedom,

									Dudley Brown
									Executive Vice President

									P.S. Members of Congress who want to hand this President -- or any other -- more information about American gun owners after the news of the last week, need to have their head checked.

									If you agree, please sign your NEW No Gun Control/No Deals petition, forward this email to as many friends and family members as you can, and chip in $10 or $20 TODAY.

The interest rates on federal student loans will double this July if Congress doesn't take action. Fortunately, Senator Elizabeth Warren has introduced legislation that would provide a one-year fix to the impending doubling of students' rate by setting the student loan interest rate at the same level the Federal Reserve offers to big banks.

Senator Warren's legislation is powerful and to the point. We bailed out the big banks. Why then deny students who weren't responsible for wrecking our economy the same deal we give the banks?

I just signed a petition urging my senator to co-sponsor Senator Warren's student loans bill. I hope you will do the same.

I just signed this, you should too.

It was recently revealed that the Department of Justice secretly seized two months of telephone records of a large number of Associated Press reporters.

This unprecedented, indiscriminate surveillance of journalists is an attack on the First Amendment that will have a chilling effect on the ability of these journalists and others to function as a free press.

And unfortunately, it is only the most recent case of overreach by the Justice Department in its overzealous pursuit of whistleblowers.

Tell Attorney General Eric Holder: Stop attacking the First Amendment and end your war on whistleblowers.
