GREEN PARTY PRESIDENTIAL UPDATE . . . Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala spoke with Bill Moyers\u00a0about the impact of independent thought on politics and democracy, Saturday, September 7, 2012 on Moyers & Company<\/b>. Watch the 23:54 minute video at http:\/\/billmoyers.com\/segment\/jill-stein-and-cheri-honkala-on-third-party-politics\/<\/a>.
\nJoin Jill on Reddit for “<\/b>Ask Me Anything<\/b><\/a>,” an online, real time conversation, Wednesday, September 12, 2012, 12:00pm, PST; 2:00pm CST . <\/b>You can sign-up for an account to ask Jill questions, or simply visit the site, read what others are posting, and read her responses.\u00a0 Thirty-three states now have a ballot line for Stein and Honkala, and the Green Party candidates will appear as write-ins in three states<\/a>.\u00a0 Nebraska Greens submitted notarized registered voters’ signatures on petitions formally requesting that Stein and Honkala be placed on the November 6, 2012 general election ballot. The Secretary of State must validate Nebraska signatures by September 14th.
\nPetition the Commission on Presidential Debates to allow Jill to participate in all of the presidential debates this year<\/a>.\u00a0 “The Republican and Democratic Parties control the presidential debates and exclude third party candidates. This is anti-thetical to democracy. We petition the Commission on Presidential Debates to allow Jill Stein to participate in all of the presidential debates this year.”
\nMajor polling organizations are also ignoring independent party candidates. The CPD requires 15% support among five public opinion polls in order for a candidate to be included in the debates. But, they don\u2019t name which polls or even when they\u2019ll gather such evidence.
\nGallup Organization is the only official advisor on polling to the CPD. Tell Gallup to take 3 important actions: 1) Include Jill Stein in ALL Gallup polling. 2) Encourage other polling organizations to include Jill Stein. 3) Advise the CPD to only consider polls that have included all legitimate candidates. (The Stein campaign made history and secured Federal matching funds! Doesn\u2019t that demonstrate significant public support?)

Greater Nebraska: Congressional District 3<\/p>\n

KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE UPDATE . . . COURT HEARING ON CITIZEN CHALLENGE of LB 1161 . . . Save the Date: Friday, September 14, 2012, 11:00am to noon, there will be a Court Hearing on the Citizen Challenge to LB 1161, at Lancaster District Court, 575 South 10th street, 3rd Floor, Lincoln (Judge Stacey presiding). In response to the lawsuit, the State is asking the court to dismiss the case.\u00a0 Please be there to support this ongoing, very critical, legal challenge.<\/b>\u00a0 TransCanada is exempt from legal rules because of LB 1161. Face Book event link is http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/130572780421400\/<\/a>.
\nIn response to the Texas ruling that TransCanada can seize pasture for Keystone XL<\/a>, the Tar Sands Blockade continues in Livingston, Texas. In a 15-word ruling sent from his iPhone, a Judge upheld TransCanada\u2019s condemnation of a 50-foot strip of land across Julia Trigg Crawford\u2019s pasture.”
\nFrom “Landowner plans to appeal eminent-doman ruling on Keystone XL pipeline<\/a>,” by Kate Galbreith, Texas Tribune, September 6th, “The case of Julia Trigg Crawford vs. the Keystone XL oil pipeline will soon return to the headlines. Crawford, a Northeast Texas farmer, is fighting to keep TransCanada, the pipeline owner, from invoking the right of eminent domain to cross her property. A judge in Lamar County ruled against her last month, but Crawford says she plans to appeal soon — probably to the state’s 6th Court of Appeals in Texarkana.”
\nSeptember 5th, EcoWatch reported “3 Blockaders Locked to Equipment Stop Work at Keystone XL Site<\/a>.” \u00a0Quoting the article, “As promised, Tar Sands Blockade\u2019s rolling campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience pushes forward.” A 3:20 minute video from the site is at http:\/\/ecowatch.org\/2012\/blockaders-stop-work-at-keystone-xl\/<\/a>. \u00a0Check the LiveBlog<\/a>\u00a0 for updates, with video, throughout the day.
\nSee curent photos of KXL construction happening now in Texas courtesy of Kathy and Steve DaSilva<\/a>.
\nTransCanada issued a press release September 5th, stating they have submitted a new route to the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality<\/a>. \u00a0The route still crosses vulnerable sandy soil and the Ogallala Aquifer. A same day response from Bold Nebraska Executive Director Jane Kleeb is at http:\/\/boldnebraska.org\/newroute_stillrisky<\/a>.
\nFrom York News Times, “Priest making plans to walk pipeline route,” by Rachael Ruybalid, August 30th: “Shodo Spring, a Buddhist priest, has been an environmentalist for a long time. It started seven years ago for her after her third grandchild had been born when she went to hear a speaker talk about peak oil. \u201cI had known there were issues with fossil fuels and I had some knowledge of issues about climate change,\u201d she said. \u201cI had been hoping it was wrong but there I thought to myself, \u2018Oh my gosh, it\u2019s 10 times worse than I thought.\u2019\u201d Read entire article at http:\/\/www.yorknewstimes.com\/news\/priest-making-plans-to-walk-pipeline-route\/article_33879b3c-f328-11e1-9ecf-0019bb2963f4.html<\/a>.
\nIn response to the Greg Awtry York News Times Editorial, “Put safety of citizens and natural resources above all else<\/a>,” published August 21, 2012, here are three things everyone can ask any candidate in this election cycle<\/a>.
\n1) \u201cRepeal the Fischer Loophole\u201d that allows oil pipelines to take Nebraskans land. We must put property rights, a fundamental American value, first. Pipelines should have to prove they are a “common carrier” and they should have to prove the oil is 100% for America.
\n2) Pass \u201cRight to Know Laws\u201d so citizens, first responders and health officials know what exactly is in a pipeline that crosses their community, if they are in an evacuation zone when a spill happens and what the chain of command for clean-up is on the ground.
\n3) \u201cReroute Pipelines\u201d away from the Sandhills and the Ogallala Aquifer. We should have Energy Corridors in our state that companies who want to cross our land and water know they can suggest a pipeline be built. This way, citizens, landowners, first responders and health officials can be prepared.” Quoting Awtry, “…I urge our political leaders to put the safety of our citizens and the preservation of our natural resources above all else and join them in their fight. I urge our readers to let the politicians know how you feel, pro, con or otherwise. This is a lasting decision which will have major consequences to all Nebraskans as well as set precedent for the future. Let your voices be heard. It is the Nebraska way.”
\nTell the Obama Administration: Reject Keystone XL. Again. The following message accompanies a new petition from Credo Action: In the same week that record June heat blanketed the southeast, Minnesota tried to recover from record flooding, and the biggest fire in Colorado’s history continued to burn out of control — President Obama doubled down in his support for the energy that is causing this deepening climate change spiral approving the first portion of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, giving away 720 million tons of publicly owned coal to a coal company for virtually nothing, and promising to lease more arctic offshore areas for oil drilling. Now, the Canada to Oklahoma portion of the Keystone XL pipeline – which would turn up the spigot on deadly, “game over for the climate” tar sands production – is back before the State Department after being rejected by President Obama earlier this year when Republicans tried to force his decision.
\nWithout the pressures of the election, President Obama could conceivably cave when a decision is made in 2013 – if he is re-elected. This public comment period is our opportunity to go on the record, before the election, with our fierce opposition. Please urge President Obama to reject the Keystone XL Pipeline<\/a>. \u00a0(Note: Credo Action petitions do generate e-mail from other petitions.)
\nSign a Natural Resources Defense Council Action Alert<\/a> telling Congress to reject all attempts to force approval of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline by attaching it to any unrelated legislation. The Keystone XL will deliver billions in profits to Big Oil while the people get stuck with poisoned water, contaminated land and an overheated planet.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “The Keystone pipeline will spew a massive amount of carbon pollution into our fragile atmosphere. It should be stopped. ” –Jill Stein, 2012 Green Party Presidential Nominee.<\/b><\/p>\n

STOP FRACKING NOW . . . At the First-Ever National Mobilization Against Fracking on July 28th, celebrities, community groups, and more than 100 organizations joined forces for \u201cStop the Frack Attack\u201d in Washington, DC, where they made three demands of Congress: 1. Stop dangerous fracking; 2. Close 7 legal loopholes that exempt the oil and gas industry from parts of the Safe Drinking Water, Clean Air, and Clean Water Acts; and 3. Implement a pathway towards 100% clean renewable energy. Learn more about the event here. http:\/\/www.stopthefrackattack.org\/<\/a> Petition Congress: “We, the undersigned, call on Congress to pass the Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act this year. It’s time to hold the oil and gas production industry to the same standards as any other industry to ensure the safe protection of America’s drinking water.<\/a>”<\/p>\n

PETITION THE EPA . . . Tell the EPA: Stop stalling. Save the Bees!<\/a>\u00a0 Submit a public comment urging the EPA to stop stalling, and take action to protect bees from the harmful pesticide clothianidin.
\nLast month, for the second time, the EPA refused to intervene to stop the use of the pesticide clothianidin, which scientists believe is at least partially to blame for the alarming rise in bee colony collapse \u2014 the sudden bee die-off which has claimed about 30% of the U.S. honey bee population each year since 2006. If we don’t convince the EPA to reconsider, it will not review clothianidin again until 2018. By then it could be too late for the bees, and the one third of our food crops that bees play a crucial role in pollinating.
\nThe EPA is currently accepting public comments on its latest decision not to declare bee die-offs an emergency situation and suspend the use of clothianidin. Now is a crucial moment to make our voices heard for the bees. Submit a public comment to the EPA now<\/a>.
\nAstonishingly, clothianidin was approved by the EPA based on virtually no scientific study. Yet the EPA continues to allow its use. Now, a group of senators have joined the call, writing a letter urging the EPA that waiting until 2018 to again review clothianidin and other neonicotinoids will be too late. There is no time to waste. Please submit a comment now urging the EPA to immediately suspend approval of clothianidin to protect honey bees and our food system<\/a>.<\/p>\n
