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!

From Randy in CA:
After seeing the fiasco of these last several days in Congress and
watching the Republicans make fools of themselves, I am back in. I
really had given up hope but now I think Obama has a good chance of
winning. Once I finish my part time job at the Leukemiua & Lymphoma
Society in mid-Feb, I'm on board to help Obama get re elected. I get
sick to my stomach listening to these Republicans spouting off lies
about how they are for the middle class. It just ain't true
Happy new year to all and let this be a winning year for us.
