My body is not my own……not until I have my right to choose!

December 1, 2009 · Filed under charity/activism, politics, right to choose, womens issues · Tagged , , ,

Women will never be equal to men as long as our bodies aren’t our business and not that of our neighbors. There are literally NO LAWS governing the reproductive rights of men, and it should be the exact same for women. We are not children or pets, we should have the right to do what we decide is best in our own lives, it should not be up to our neighbors, husbands, boyfriends or politicians.

If you are a woman who would like to sign a petition to keep a right to choose what you do with your own body, sign the petition at: http://reproductiverights.org/en

Weekly goals for 11/22/09…Feel your Blessings!

November 22, 2009 · Filed under Holiday Trivia, charity/activism, general interest, renewable energy, talk radio, weekly goals · Tagged , , , , , , , , , ,

Thanksgiving 2008
Thanksgiving 2008

Hello dearies,
may we all be very thankful for the basics: a home to live in, enough food to eat, our health and the love our family and friends. What could be more bountiful than having these basics which so many people in the world aren’t blessed with having?

Perhaps we could invite a lonely neighbor to our feast, contribute food to organizations that feed the homeless, serve up Thanksgiving Day dinner at one of these charities or donate money to your favorite organization at this time of year. It would light up someone’s life and warm you inside knowing you are “spreading the wealth”, so to speak.

My goals for this week are:

Personal-
Prepare 15 holiday calendars (to be mailed out later.)
Finish decorating for the holidays.
Doctors appt on Fri Nov 27th.
Hopefully see my mom on Nov 24th.
And, of course, prepare a half-turkey/half-vegetarian meal for Thanksgiving!

Professional-

Wage Peace- Make your voice heard! Take Action!

November 21, 2009 · Filed under Breaking News, charity/activism, general interest · Tagged , , , ,

Action Needed:
Your call can stop the government from sending more troops to Afghanistan.

Dear Peace Seekers,

Now is a critical time to make your voice heard.
 
Call the White House comment line today and say you are opposed to sending more U.S. troops to Afghanistan.  The comment line number is 202-456-1111. 


In the coming week, President Obama will likely be making a decision about the role of U.S. troops in Afghanistan. He has rejected the current proposals for additional troops until there is an exit strategy. We believe this is a good sign, and we need more — a decision not to send more troops to the region and to deescalate the war.

The decision will have a dramatic effect on the future of Afghanistan and the stability of the region.
This is the moment when we can have an impact. 
 
If you only take one action for peace this year, please make this phone call to the White House today.  Tell them you’d like the administration to put these elements into their Afghanistan plan.

White House comment line: 202-456-1111
 
Talking Points:
1. No additional troops to Afghanistan.
2. A time line for the withdrawal of U.S. troops and for diplomacy and dialog with all parties to the conflict, without preconditions.
3. Badly needed development aid provided, to be coordinated by civilian-led organizations, not the military.
4. Redirect the more than $44 billion spent yearly on war to supporting real human needs in Afghanistan and at home.
 
Help President Obama make the best decision on Afghanistan.  Please take a moment and make your call today.


Wage peace,
Peter Lems and Mary Zerkel
American Friends Service Committee

Remember, without troops there would be no wars, only two angry leaders! Refuse to support violence and the violence will be eradicated. NO MORE WAR.

How can I help humanitarian causes when I can’t afford to donate to charity right now?

September 3, 2009 · Filed under charity/activism, general interest · Tagged , , , ,

Care2 is an organization that promotes online environmental and humanitarian activism by getting big corporations to donate to worldwide causes when YOU go to their website and use your mouse to “click” on your favorite causes. The corporations donate because they are getting some good advertising out of it, YOU get to help your favorite causes and Care2 gets sponsorship and readers. Everyone wins!

All you have to do is go to their website to learn more about the click program, at:
http://www.care2.com/click-to-donate/

Here are some testimonials from the program sponsors:

For years, Oceana has counted on the support of Care2’s online activists who help protect the oceans by signing onto petitions, letters and pledges. It’s all the more rewarding for us when Care2 members use the click to donate program to contribute real dollars for our ocean conservation efforts.

Matt Littlejohn
Vice President, Strategic Marketing and Communications, Oceana

Care2 members are now sponsoring 16 children in 7 countries. Your daily clicks have provided food, health care and education to 14 children living in poverty. Thanks to your clicks we are now able to sponsor 2 new children: Fridah in Zambia and Santanu in India. You’re making an immeasurable difference in the lives of these children – thank you!

Randy Paynter
President and Founder of Care2.com

Make it a better day for someone you (don’t) know! Diane T.
