Merry Christmas, everyone!

From Betta:

Thank you so much for your encouraging words, Sunny!


I am thrilled to connect with you and know that all of us are being

brought together at the exact right time to help save the world!


Your blog was brilliant by the way, please do add me to your list. In

fact, you've inspired me to make blogging my New Year's resolution-

something I've been meaning to do for way too long!

I'm looking forward to connecting with you in 2012, hopefully lots of

great work and fun in our future!


In the meantime, have a wonderful holiday and happy new year!!


Cheers,

Betta

Terry from Sounth Nyack,NY:

Thanks for your wonderful email about Obama and the battle ahead for the Democrats.

I flew to Kansas City for Thanksgiving...were you there? We had quite a family get together...even my 82 year old Mother flew in from Wisconsin. Perhaps we'll bump into each other again en route...or here on the East Coast.


Have a wonderful Holiday and thanks for sharing your emails with me!

Warmest regards,

From Judy R in Mamaroneck

From Cindy in CA:

I will be happy to contribute to your blog regarding developments on the Supreme Court and judicial nominations. How about Gringich’s statement on Face the Nation last Sunday that if he disagrees with a decision of the Court, he ought to be able to call up the Justice Department and send out the US Marshals to arrest the judges!!!! That’s called fascism. In addition to health care, there are four or five other extremely important decisions that the Court will make before the end of June, i.e. before the election. You are so right that people need to think about this.



Have a Merry Ho, Ho Ho and let’s hope that 2012 is a great year in every way!!

From Susan WEstchester 4 Change in Harrison:

The holiday season is upon us and it's time to spend some time relaxing, eating, visiting, and sharing time with family and friends. When you are celebrating, I'm sure fracking will come up in some of your conversations. Please encourage your loved ones to watch Gasland if they haven't seen it (it's on Netflix and in the library). After they watch the film, they will probably ask what they can do. There are a multitude of good websites with links to many articles, but one of the best is www.catskillcitizens.org which has the NY Times Drilling Down series and many, many other articles by topic under their heading "links." I have also attached some statements that were written by experts on various issues with regard to fracking.



If your loved ones are really hooked, ask them to write a letter to the Governor expressing their concerns (cc the letter to all of their elected officials). The website www.amillionfrackingletters.com is very user-friendly. In addition, they can sign this letter to withdraw the SGEIS due to its many flaws: http://www.toxicstargeting.com/MarcellusShale. The letter is up to about 11,000 signatures now and more are signing each day. Our elected officials say that the grassroots activists have raised awareness and fracking is one of the most important issues today. Congratulations - you have now recruited another fracktivist!
