Now 60 baby dolphins have washed up dead.
Move along folks...nothing to see here...don't connect the dots...it can't be due to that BP oil spill...that would be so "UN-Scientific."

BP Hid the Oil but the Damages continue to surface
Seventeen dead baby dolphins wash ashore....
I say BP should get the death penalty and have their corporate charter revoked.

Nuclear Energy is too Expensive!
Why is tax money being spent on nuclear when it's now proven that solar is CHEAPER than nuclear and everyone knows it's cleaner and safer? This should end all arguments on the need to mine uranium for nuclear energy now. This gap will only widen with increasing costs of nuclear energy versus decreasing costs of solar energy. Cheaper and getting cheaper versus more expensive and getting more expensive. Source
Radiation is Dangerous...
With anti-uranium moratorium lobbyists visiting our elected officials in Richmond to hurry up and lift our uranium moratorium whose side do you think our state government is on....the few folks who want to get rich off uranium mining or the people of Virginia who will bear the consequences? Don't forget to ask who is filling their campaign coffers.
I contend Virginia will lose more jobs than are gained from this insane idea to make Virginia the first wet climate to mine uranium.
Folks in Arizona just beat back the uranium mining interests...they know better than to trust this industry.
Remember uranium is dangerous....radiation is dangerous. Go on facebook and friend Uranium Free Virginia. Research this for yourself...give your insurance company a call...they won't insure your home or property for any damages from this venture.
Knowledge is power. Educate yourself then spread the word.
Can't trust Big Corps....
Look how BP was able to cover up their oil....will anyone make them clean up their mess?
IF the USA can't make BP clean up their mess how is Virginia going to regulate dangerous uranium mining?

Streamkiller Bill Passes
The Virginia Senate and House have both passed legislation (SB 1025 and HB 2123) in an attempt to limit federal regulation of mountaintop removal coal mining permits under the Clean Water Act. Governor Bob McDonnell is expected to sign the legislation into law. This legislation takes existing authority away from the citizen water control board and places it solely at the discretion of the Director of the Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy (DMME). By giving this authority to a single political appointee, we lose the expert guidance during the permitting process by the citizen field experts who sit on the water control board. This maneuver also leaves questions as to its legality since our EPA-approved permitting process gives this authority directly to the board. Senators Ticer, Whipple, McEachin, Petersen, and Marsden stood up for clean water and opposed the Senate bill in committee. Please email your senator today to tell them how you feel about their vote.

Will Virginia become a sacrifice zone?
I'm starting to understand why the places where uranium is mined are called sacrifice zones or dead zones. There are no regulation concerning the radioactive waste and how it should be handled. This is shocking. No wonder they have a history of mining in desert areas that are sparsely populated.

ONLY THREE REPUBLICANS PLEDGED CIVILITY
For the past two years, a conservative Civility Project has attempted to get Republicans and Conservatives to make the following pledge:
I will be civil in my public discourse and behavior.I will be respectful of others whether or not I agree with them.I will stand against incivility when I see it.
The three signers were: Senator Joseph Leiberman, Representative Frank Wolf, and Representative Sue Myrick.
According to the founder of the Civility Project, Mark DeMoss:
The worst e-mails I received about the civility project were from conservatives with just unbelievable language about communists, and some words I wouldn't use in this phone call," DeMoss told The Times. "This political divide has become so sharp that everything is black and white, and too many conservatives can see no redeeming value in any liberal or Democrat. That would probably be true about some liberals going the other direction, but I didn't hear from them.

Toxic speech has consequences
According to Bill Press:
And it’s no accident something like this happened in America after a season of gun-filled rhetoric from right-wing politicians. Sharron Angle called for “Second Amendment remedies.” Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) urged her constituents to be “armed and dangerous.” Jesse Kelly, Giffords’s Republican opponent in November, invited voters to shoot a fully automatic M16 with him in order to “Remove Gabrielle Giffords from Office.” And, of course, there was Sarah Palin’s disgusting crosshairs map.
Make no mistake about it. Words have consequences. This is one more case of anti-government hate rhetoric leading to violence against government officials. And the more we tolerate this kind of toxic talk from politicians and right-wing talk show hosts, the more of this senseless violence we’re going to see.

Virginia is not set up for Uranium Mining.
Think about it....the issue is NOT jobs. That's the camouflage to put everyone at risk so a "Few" can make billions and leave the rest of us with the clean up bills.
If the US government can't control the corporations that are destroying our environment the how can Virginia's state government even hope to regulate the uranium interests?

OBAMA SELLS OUT OUR INTERNET
Another reason why I will NOT vote for an Obama second term....He's eliminating Net Neutrality and allowing the corporations to take over our internet on cell phones.

Watch out for robo call Lies about Uranium Mining in VA
Residents in Southside and South Central Virginia have been receiving automated message calls fromAmericans for Prosperity. The calls originated from AFP's Richmond office. AFP claimed that Virginia Uranium, Inc.'s dangerous project will generate up to 500 jobs. It is a LIE.
According to the Energy Informaion Administration, in 2009, the entire uranium production industry employed 1,096 people.
In the same year, there were 20 operating mines in the U.S. and one operating and one developing mill. No single mining and milling operation can employ one half of the number of employees being currently employed by 22 uranium production operations.

What happened to Freedom of the press?
But the truly scandalous and shocking response to the Wikileaks documents has been that of other journalists, who make the Obama Administration sound like the ACLU. In a recent article in The New Yorker, the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Steve Coll sniffed that "the archives that WikiLeaks has published are much less significant than the Pentagon Papers were in their day" while depicting Assange as a "self-aggrandizing control-freak" whose website "lacks an ethical culture that is consonant with the ideals of free media." Channeling Richard Nixon, Coll labeled Wikileaks' activities - formerly known as journalism - by his newly preferred terms of "vandalism" and "First Amendment-inspired subversion."--David Samuels

Proof that Banks Profit from illegal drugs...
Another reason to legalize marijuana.
If marijuana is illegal then why are alcohol and cigarettes legal? Remember marijuana has never killed anyone...never caused lung cancer, does not lead to fights nor domestic violence.....
It just doesn't make sense unless you realize that banks are able to make big profits off of laundering money.
Just think about the costs to taxpayers and citizens who are only exercising their individual liberties end up locked up....It is a crying shame.
Virginia's Governor McDonnell is on the wrong side of this issue...he refuses to support legalizing pot for medical uses yet wants to privatize liquor stores so corporations can make bigger profits (at our expense) and make alcohol more readily accessible.
Governor Mcdonnell just doesn't make sense.

Deja Vu Obama
Here we go again...looks like the tax cuts will see Obama do the same thing as he did with Health care...just give it away.
Is Obama 1)not learning from his past mistakes, 2) demonstrating symptoms of the Stockholm Syndrome, 3) or simply selling us out to corporate interests?
Is there another option?

The Corporate American Press Attacks the Whistleblowers
This is what we should be seeing over and over again in the media.
Instead the corporate journalists are attacking the whistle blowers...they are acting more like CIA/Gestapo agents then journalists...not surprising since the CIA has long been known to have "psy ops" agents that are embeded journalists. The surprising reality is that there appear to be so many CIA/corporate journalists...where are the independent journalist that inform the public?
Hmmm....
Call Out The Republicorp Senate
The Republicorp Senators are saying that they will NOT vote for tax cuts for 90% of Americans because they want tax cuts for ALL Americans. If that's there reasoning then where's my bailout? Republicorp Senators did NOT vote for a bailout for ALL Americans. They voted to give only the wealthiest billions and billions of dollars.
Take a minute and call out a Republicorp Senator today. Why would they only bail out the wealthiest Americans (the criminals who wrecked our economy) and then leave everyone else to fend for themselves.
Let them know that not everyone was bailed out and it's about time that the folks that were bailed out put something back so maybe we'll have the resources to fix this mess they put us in.
