“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed
citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing
that ever has.” – Margaret Mead

Global warming is very real, and is threatening our future. We began learning some time
ago about causes/contributors to global warming, and also to world degradation and
pollution in general.

We were actually shocked by what we learned.

We found out how little we are told the truth in our current society (or at least mislead),
and we began to realize what a HUGE and profitable industry it is to both destroy our
Earth and also knowingly feed you poison and chemicals that can make you sick.

If you are truly interested in saving our planet, you MUST read the following page!

It could be the most important 5-10 minutes you have ever spent!
(The most important to REALLY saving our planet, that is)

Our voices and our choices DO matter – take a stand for the planet
and for all living creatures

“Just one hog farm in Utah, for example, produces more sewage than the city of Los Angeles.
These megafarms are proliferating, and in populous areas their waste is tainting drinking water.
In more pristine regions, from Indonesia to the Amazon, tropical rain forest is being burned down
to make room for more and more cattle. Agriculture is the world’s biggest cause of deforestation,
and increasing demand for meat is the biggest force in the expansion of agriculture.” (Time.com;

A Report published by the United Nations warns: “Livestock are one of the most significant
contributors to today’s most serious environmental problems…urgent action is required to
remedy the situation.” (Taken from the UN report; Click here for entire article)

According to Seymour Hersh there is a conga line of insiders waiting until January 20th to spill the beans on the gross criminality of the Bush/Cheney administration. Waiting . . . because if they did it now the two of them would be tarred and feathered on the way out the door.

But we the people do not have to wait. We can and must demand the immediate impeachment of both Bush and Cheney for what is already known. At the very least the defiance of congressional subpoenas at the behest of the White House is an open and shut case for accountability now.

Because as his final constitutional insult, his final spit in the face to the American people and all rule of law, it is transparently obvious that Bush is planning the most wholesale and wrongful pardon of the worst political criminals in American history, his whole criminal gang, INCLUDING himself.

And don’t think that is not their precise plan. Please, what power has Bush NOT abused? What heinous, self-serving, shameless and dishonest act has he ever shied away from, when he was torturing and eavesdropping and lying us into wars of corporate aggression. Does anyone doubt that is what he is planning on doing?

And when you submit this action page, you will have one last chance to get one of the “Impeach Both!!!” caps, which after January 20th will no longer be available from us for love or for money.

Will Congress now act? That is not the yardstick of the worth of our activism. We speak out because we must speak out, whether we are heeded or not. Let history record that we spoke out until the last minute to the eternal shame of those who did not. Because when enough of us speak out at once, the worst thing that can possibly happen is that we are building the progressive base for the REAL change of the future.

So Bush most certainly is planning on pardoning himself. And all the right wing lock down ideologues in the corporate controlled media will call it “healing”. Let’s all make nice with war criminals? Shall we all make nice with the gang rape of our economy, our environment and our Constitution? We think not.

And one more thing. You know that come January 20th the right wing will start calling for the impeachment of our new president, over a endless litany of the most ridiculous of trivial trifles. In fact it has already started even though he has not even taken office. If they are so hot on impeaching someone, let them speak out now, when it truly is called for, or shut the hell up in 73 days.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.

Utopian Quotations

Although images of perfection in people’s personal lives can cause unhappiness, images of perfect societies – utopian images – can cause monstrous evil. In fact, forcefully changing society to conform to societal images was the greatest cause of evil in the twentieth century.
Dennis Prager

Hunger and sex still dominate the primitive mammalian side of human existence, but at the present time it looks as if humanity were within sight of their satisfaction. Permanent plenty, no longer a Utopian dream, awaits the arrival of permanent peace.
John Desmond Bernal

Every daring attempt to make a great change in existing conditions, every lofty vision of new possibilities for the human race, has been labeled Utopian.
Emma Goldman

If work and leisure are soon to be subordinated to this one utopian principle – absolute busyness – then utopia and melancholy will come to coincide: an age without conflict will dawn, perpetually busy – and without consciousness.
Gunther Grass

And the annual meetings of the League’s Assembly are in effect official peace congresses binding on the participating states to an extent that most statesmen a quarter of a century ago would have regarded as utopian.
Hjalmar Branting

Utopian Translations

utopian in Dutch is utopistisch, utopisch
