Hey, Ladies, “You’re mamma wears combat boots!” Taunted as an insult a generation ago, women in combat boots will soon be featured in women’s magazines. The marines are placing full page ads in women’s magazine’s such as Self, Shape, and Fitness in an effort to recruit women. But gals, don’t get on your soapbox about women’s equality, yet. This is an act of desperation, not of respect. At

There is a bill in Congress that would create a path home for some of the hardest hit Katrina survivors. The Gulf Coast Housing Recovery Act of 2007 (S.1668) would re-open desperately needed housing and make sure there is no loss of affordable public housing in New Orleans.1 Unfortunately, the Bush administration and several senators are opposing its passage, paving the way for a whiter,

Consumers Union has 12 shopping tips that will help families enjoy a safe and merry holiday: 1. Do not buy metal jewelry – especially cheap metal jewelry – for young children. About 20 percent of children’s metal jewelry has high levels of lead lurking beneath the surface coating. A child who mouths or accidentally swallows a piece of lead-laden jewelry can suffer lead poisoning. 2. You can test

I just wanted to write a special thank you to all the people who took the time to march in New York City and so many other cities on Saturday, October 27th to protest the war in Iraq, demand that our troops come home, and protest any pending war with Iran. For every one of you that was there, there are hundreds of us who couldn't go this time, but were with you in spirit, and thank you for

Abridged version of an article by Kimberly Hefling, The Associated Press Wednesday 31 October 2007 Washington - A total of 147 troops have killed themselves in Iraq and Afghanistan since the start of the wars, according to the Defense Manpower Data Center, which tracks casualties for the Pentagon. Add the number of returning veterans and the finding is that at least 430 of the 1.5

Today, August 29th, is the 2nd anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Today there are still tens of thousands of families without homes. 30,000 families are scattered across the country in FEMA apartments, 13,000 are in trailers, and hardly any of the 77,000 rental units destroyed in New Orleans have been rebuilt. And this is just one of the many issues the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are

I come upon this video, the same day I read in the Wall Street Journal that "A group of homeowners filed suit against the City of New Orleans and Ray Nagin, seeking damages for houses they say were illegally targeted for demolition as part of the city's drive to clean up properties damaged by Hurricane Katrina...The suit alleges that the city plans to continue demolishing houses "without the

"It is sometimes discouraging to see how small the Christian peace movement is, and especially here in America where it is most necessary. But we have to remember that this is the usual pattern, and the Bible has led us to expect it. Spiritual work is done with disproportionately small and feeble instruments. And now above all when everything is so utterly complex, and when people collapse under

From: Katrina Informatin NetworkGreetings!After nearly two years, little has changed for the communities hardest hit by the "perfect storm" of public neglect and private profiteering known as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Wow! Here is Robert Kennedy, Jr. telling it like it is at live earth! I haven't heard such a direct and honest speech in such a long time...it's refreshing! Kennedy says that collective political action is even more important than our sole individual efforts to recycle and use more energy efficient light bulbs. Why isn't this guy running for president?

Here is Madonna's official video for Live Earth. The Live Earth concert didn't really get as much press in New York as I thought it would. It was only on page ten in the NY Times the next day. I don't know anyone who went, but I spent all day watching it on TV and I definitely notice that I am a little more conscious now and I'm trying to be more green. I unplug my cellphone charger now (
