Platform & Positions
• Health care: There's nothing wrong with the Canadian single-payer plan—the vast majority of Canadian citizens are happy with it, including the doctors.
• Jobs: We can make jobs the way FDR did in 1932, this time by hiring people to do insulation, solar power, wind power, geothermal, retrofitting, and so on, and making it available to everyone at cost the way the GI bill made housing available to veterans after World War II.
• Foreign policy: We should comply strictly with all the provisions of international law we created but now disavow. We should comply with the United Nations Charter, the Nuremberg rules, the Geneva Accords, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the 1996 International Court of Justice opinion that nuclear weapons are illegal, and fully fund the UN, help it reform so it can function, and behave as a normal law-abiding nation—which Article 6 of our Constitution says we are supposed to be.
• Global warming: Global warming is lethal. Several factors—loss of rainforests, collapse of glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica, exacerbation of El Niño—may make exponential heat spikes that will cause drought so severe that no one can survive it, flooding great enough to wipe out vast coastal areas and whole nations, horrific storms, sudden freezes, and such chaotically unpredictable weather that no agriculture can succeed. We need to ratify the Kyoto Protocol and establish a National Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
• Puerto Rico: Our treatment of Puerto Rico is 19th Century style imperialism undertaken purely for the sake of geopolitical military advantage with no regard for the rights and needs of Puerto Ricans at all. The UN should oversee Puerto Rico's independence for five years until the Puerto Rican educational system can present all sides fairly so that a meaningful referendum on independence can be held.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone willing to volunteer for my campaign or vote for me in my election against incumbent Christopher Shays (R).

We are trying to get the forum going so we would appreciate you sharing any thoughts you have on the site, the articles, the designers or ethical fashion as a whole.
We're trying to kick things off by just getting people to introduce themselves. There's also some topics for debate if you want to have a good argument.
Anyway, thanks again for supporting us and joining us on this lovely new adventure!
PS, to comment on the forums you'll need to be logged into Facebook!
We're getting closer to reaching one of our Earth Day goals:
We would like to raise $1,000 to be put towards our summer programming. So far we have raised $315 from over 100 MySpace friends.
If just 15% of our MySpace friends donated $1 we would exceed our goal. What is one dollar? Spare change for you, but the ability to purchase REAL CHANGE for us! A donation can be made through PayPal on our MySpace profile. Click the donation button.
If you have walked in the heart of the Green wood and have bathed in the light of its living force remember what you have felt; and whenever you pass a tree whether it stands alone in a wilderness of human making or in the depth of woodland, give a moment of your time to listen to its voice. For in many parts of the land the trees are dying only the hearts that know something of the true wisdom can save them. (Anon)
Hello Mr Duffee, nice to meet you.
Si usted ha paseado por el centro del bosque verde y se ha bañado en la luz de su fuerza viva recuerde lo que usted ha sentido; y siempre que usted pase al lado de un árbol si está parado solamente en un yermo de fabricación humana o en la profundidad del bosque, dé un momento de su tiempo para escuchar su voz. Porque en muchas partes de la tierra los árboles se están muriendo solamente los corazones que tengan algo de la sabiduría verdadera pueden salvarlos. (Anón)

This serious situation of global warming we find ourselves in requires due diligence and constant action of some kind by all of us NOW. This is the only way to avert this impending situation of us all being completely miserable in the future because of living in a truly ecologically messed up planet and because of this, everyone would suffer the consequences one way or another. This is not a warning folks, this is a “Bleeping” threat we are now under!!

Keep talking to others about why a Live Earth event happened in the first place. These concerts were a loving warnings from Life, and the most effective way to get the word out to the masses while providing easy answers and solutions for you. Remember, God does love us, but also, if we keep messing up over, and over, and over again, well, we all know what happens next. On that note, let’s all become ‘green soldiers’ for the earth by doing our part in our way. Keep informing yourself about the things you can do to change, and change. You will see it’s actually easy. The results of the actions of many together in a united front, is the life-shift that life is requiring of us now. Pass the word around.
"Answer The Live Earth Call". Your future depends on it.
You Do Make A Difference!! Be A Leader, Do Your Part. Thank you :)
