- "When I became a member of the law firm of Steger, Thurmond and Rayburn, Messrs. Thurmond and Steger were representing the Santa Fe Railroad Company, receiving pay monthly. When the first check came after I entered the firm, Mr. Thurmond brought to my desk one-third of the amount of the check, explaining what it was for. I said to him that I was a member of the Legislature, representing the people of Fannin County, and that my experience had taught me that men who represent the people should be as far removed as possible from concerns whose interests he was liable to be called on to legislate concerning, and that on that ground I would not accept a dollar of the railroad's money, though I was legally entitled to it. I never did take a dollar of it. I have been guided by the principle in all my dealings." - Sam Rayburn, served US House of Representatives for 17 years.

Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?

The World According to Monsanto (2008)
Click for playlist of 10 high quality (480p) segments totaling almost 2 hours of viewing time (1:49:xx)
Perhaps you never heard of the term “Franken-Foods”. This video shows a wealth of information on genetically engineered food. Round-Up is a weed killer that leads
Monsanto’s product line - creating crops that can be sprayed and have no more weeds or insect problems is the initial intent for GE foods.Monsanto was founded in 1901 and one of their first products was saccharine. Bioengineering for a better world seems to be their goal. When they get their hands into your food, the clothing you wear, and more… you have to wonder how much control are they able to assume in our lives. Our lives are being corrected and aimed toward the best interest of … society (or would that be the corporation)?
The proposition that I NEED your help could be incorrect if I was able to care for myself without being confined in your path of control. I’m sure you’ve experienced people that simply “help too much”. Lets give free thought, expression, and listening a try - those things are most likely to change society in a radical way. So here’s the question - what can you and I do to rid ourselves of corporate control?
First we’re going to have to unplug from the media they want us to see. Requesting transparency and accountability from those that claim to represent us in government is needed. But if you don’t look at what is shown - does it matter? It takes participating to turn new vision into results.
Don’t sit this fight out - STAND UP, BREATHE, and SCREAM if you need to.

Door to Door Vaccination checks
Children being kept out of school when not vaccinated. If you need exemption forms go to experimentalvaccines.org, listing by state.
For those in [Michigan use this PDF link]. Keep a copy on hand and file one with the state, also put one in the hands of your family doctor.
Look into the ingredients in the vaccines and the risks involved.
Could it possibly be more clear that our children are being handed over to Big Pharma as a profit center? Parents who make the intelligent choice not to vaccinate their children are subjected to humiliation and intimidation. Their children may be prevented from going to school. The news media acts as cheerleader and propagandist.
Parents are pressured. Not shown in the video is that they aren’t provided information about their right to opt out. If they choose to opt out, they aren’t given the exemption forms. No information is given about risks associated with the vaccine.
The vaccination in question is Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis), and is one of the most questionable. The pertussis portion provides no protection against the new outbreaks of whooping cough, and is actually responsible for causing the new more virulent, 10 times as deadly, strain.

Its and hour and a half of substantial education.
We later ventured onto Belle Isle. Once an obvious playground for the wealthy with a yacht club and boat house, it is currently mostly abandoned. This aquarium was the first in the country, built in 1904, and now sits vacant next to the conservatory.
This past weekend was the annual Shiver On The River event and the aquarium welcomed 4,000 people coming through to check out renovations, newly filled tanks with more fish, fish on loan, and art exhibits in some of the empty tanks. Check my Tumblr for some photos soon!
I had an exhibit of the Abandoned In Detroit fashion showcase project that I’ve organized since 2005.I wear a cloth stenciled “Occupy Detroit” on the front shoulder of my parka and one on the back as well. If I have a backpack on to handle media coverage the one in back is covered.
When I used to wear this on the back of my jacket, someone at the gas station once asked me where they could buy one.
It’s clearly a piece of torn white t-shirt with paint on it. It looks hand made to me.
Hours after receiving over 5,000 letters and phone calls from individuals across the country and a letter signed by more than 600 groups from an unbelievably broad spectrum, the House Ways and Means Committee ignored that broad, bipartisan opposition and went full speed ahead with their unprecedented plan to kill dedicated transit funding.
The Ways and Means Committee, which is responsible for writing the funding portion of the bill, approved their financing plan along almost party lines this morning, 20-17. (Two GOP reps voted against the bill.)
In a shocking assault on transit that rolls back 30+ years of bipartisan federal transportation policy and reverses a decision made by President Reagan in the 1980’s, House leadership has proposed killing dedicated funding for transit in the Mass Transit Trust Fund. No more guarantee of funding each year and no long-term stability for public transportation. States, cities, communities and their transit systems could lose billions.
The proposal would take away the 2.86 cents out of the total 18.4 cent motor fuel tax currently directed into the transit account of the Highway Trust Fund and redirect that 2.86 cents into highway spending. Transit would no longer have a guaranteed and protected funding source, instead becoming subject to yearly appropriations fights and the need to find offsets for funding — all while highway spending continues to be guaranteed with protected funds for half a decade at a time.
In just 12 hours after hearing the initial news, we gathered signatures from more than 600 groups, notable individuals and elected officials. More than 75 national organizations signed the letter.
The committee chose to ignore this broad opposition.
Please call your congressman, especially if they are in the Ways and Means Committee, and Tell your representatives to vote “NO” on H.R. 7, the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act.

TEDxNextGenerationAsheville - Birke Baehr - “What’s Wrong With Our Food System” (by TEDxTalks)
The authority will oversee a proposed 110-mile, 23-stop rapid-transit regional bus system that would operate much like a rail line — with specialized trainlike wheeled vehicles with dedicated lanes. They would run along Gratiot, Woodward and Michigan avenues and M-59 and would connect to Ann Arbor and Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Romulus.
That plan, proposed by Gov. Rick Snyder with backing from Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and the federal government, replaced a 9.3-mile light rail project on Woodward Avenue in Detroit.
A consortium of private investors and nonprofits, previously part of the rail plan, intends to build a 3.4-mile streetcar-style rail line downtown, with the intention of turning it over one day to the RTA. It would be privately funded and is not specifically addressed in the new legislation.
The new bills give the RTA the power to borrow money and issues bonds and notes to finance projects. The authority is authorized to design and build the bus system as it sees fit.
The board’s appointment breakdown is:
• One by the governor.
• One by the mayor of Detroit.
• Two each by the county executives in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.
• Two by the county board of commissioners in Washtenaw County
The governor’s appointment serves as chairman of the board but does not have a vote.
The initial board members will have staggered terms, but eventually all board members will have three-year terms.
No appointee can be a city or county employee or work for the transit unions, and he or she must have “substantial business, financial or professional experience relevant to the operation of a corporation or public transit system.”
The board must comply with the state’s open-meetings laws.

Defend Our Freedom - Why SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, and other bills are a bad idea
Opinions by Stephen Boyle…
I can’t tell you how much I respect TED videos for the level of intelligent discourse they provide. They are usually very well thought through and researched. This video is exceptional in its level of giving you insight to DMCA, ACTA, SOPA, PIPA and other copyright oriented legislation in the US and abroad.
Freedom of information versus protection of content has become a huge conflict. It is an open war between the people and corporate entities. Has society advanced so far as to govern the people within it that it can assume they have no ethical or morale responsibility? Governance over freedom is being financed and the laws are becoming stricter all the time. These are the days when the people are rising up in protest. We are not intentional thieves. The cost of doing business has escalated far too high.
Corporate financed legislation and courts are deadly to the people being governed. It removes small and medium size business from competing due to police-state mentality. Start up businesses have to dodge through a maze of restricting concerns that often compromise the premise they were formed to serve.
Some of us work in jobs that fuel this system - when will you find your actions at work don’t honor your life on the street and enslave your friends and family? Honorable work in society today is grossly underpaid.
The fight is on and the people need to adopt the police-state mentality with our law-makers that they will enact laws that provide for the freedom of the people. Courts need to see the people often have insufficient funding to be properly heard. Legislators, judges, and government-related agency workers need to know they are not above the law of the people - immunity to due process of law is a bad thing to see. It enforces police-state behavior enabling the elite to control the public.
The common person on the street is viewed as a criminal, guilty until proven innocent. When you “wear your number” responsibly they quiet the sound of sirens intent on muting your voice. This is bondage of the public and commitment into slavery. Do as you are told and everything will be OK… for whom?
Video: Defend our freedom to share (or why SOPA is a bad idea) (by TEDtalksDirector)
Today is the day the future of big budget Black filmmaking hangs in the balance. According to George Lucas at least. After spending about 555 million adjusted for inflation dollars to make his 6 installments of Star Wars, Lucas has now vowed to abandon half a billion budgets forever…There are generations that have passed with some knowing only about hustle. Who is being honored if you can’t stand tall and proud without someone covering your back?
Trust and respect are things that are learned behaviors. In a rabid society they appear as weakness. This is a sickness we must overcome to regain being HUMANE HUMANS.
Governance is needed for those with weak or questionable ethics & morals.

- What does FASHION mean to you?Fashion is how a person presents themselves to a public audience. It is present in their apparel, the presence the person carries, how they speak, how they move, and the choices they make. I feel fashion shows up more in public than in private. Fashion is a way to gain acceptance, interest, a following, and create controversy. It is an artful expression of self that we create. It can be in selection of what others have crafted or we ourselves have created. You extend a compliment by use of crafted items in your fashion statement.Asked by Kitty Crawl Jan 15, 11
