We are getting geared up for the 6th St Smokeout, and it's now less than 3 weeks away!
We'll have plenty of pizza, from the Mellow Mushroom, to take care of your munchies, and we'll also have a psychedellic multimedia light show for your viewing pleasure!!
Also, if you have just a couple minutes to spare, go by Do512 and vote "I Like" on the event page there; it'll keep the Smokeout near the top of the list of events for that day, and the "Higher" we are on the list the better!!!! The Do512 event page is here: http://do512.com/event/2009/10/17/texas-normls-4th-annual-6th-street-smokeout
Cuddly kitten, stoned & burned, dies in 'atrocious act of cruelty'
Philadelphia Daily News
Even after a 6-week-old kitten was pelted with stones and set on fire in a Chester alley Saturday afternoon, it didn't lash out. The brown tabby greeted Dave Schlott, a Delaware County animal control officer, by climbing up his shirt and snuggling against his neck. "It was cuddling, so I thought I'd name it Cuddles," Schlott said. "It was a really, really good-natured kitten." _________________End of partial quote_________ I have been very upset over this."And can it be that in a world so full and busy, the loss of one weak creature makes a void in any heart so wide and deep that nothing but the width and depth of eternity can fill it up.." Charles Dickens.

Congratulations President Obama on winning the Nobel Peace Prize....May God keep you steadfast and ever so courageous to continue on the path to engaging others to strive for peaceful solutions in the world for all mankind. As for the critics that say you didn't do anything to earn the prize, well, here's what I have to say: Even you admitted to not deserving the prize, yet, the world sees something great and inspiring in you - the Man; and so I applaud your honesty and reasons for accepting it. On the other hand, and in my opinion it's far better for the world to shower you with a positive gesture such as the Nobel Peace Prize, rather than throwing SHOES at your face.
A friend had an idea that I thought might be very effective. We live in SC, a state where it does no good to write to our Congressmen (in our experience, they ignore anything from Democrats--they do not represent us since we did not vote for them). But if all of the people who live in states like this were to write to Harry Reid, and tell him that if he does the right thing and puts the Public Option into the Health Care Reform Bill, we will contribute $50 (or $25 or whatever we can afford) to his campaign.....and if he doesn't, we will contribute to his competitor's campaign (the point being, if he's going to act like a Republican what's the difference?). There must be close to a million Progressive Democrats in Red States with no one to write to and support on the Public Option, Harry Reid will listen to 50 or even 25 million dollars. What do you think? Please pass this on if you like the idea :) Also we want to get rid of the anti-trust exemption on insurance companies!
I applaud President Obama for signing into law making gay hate crimes a Federal Crime. This is indeed a historic moment-you know darn well if McCain would have won I believe he would have blocked this I think many Republicans have ICE in their veins. I live in central Florida and it upset me greatly to hear Matthew Sheppard died due to homophobics who repeatedly stabbed him to death and left him to die. Did you know many municipalities will not even bother with gay hate because of homophobic cops and State Attorney's who basically believe gays deserve to die or get beaten up. That's all I'm going to say in this matter, but a thank you to President Obama for passing this. And may the families who had their children murdered due to gay hate find some form of comfort and peace with the passage of this law that others will be protected. President Obama is truly a VERY GREAT MAN!
