DEC 9th, 2013 - More than 5 million Thai people got out on the streets to communicate something. The words "No Corruption!" have begun to flow in a huge ocean of conversation everywhere. We are in the process of redesigning our democracy to have it really work for our country. This is a never-before conversation and a new possibility in front of us. And we have lots to do from now on, for ourselves and the next generations.
PS: This is a non-violent move, we move with courage, peace and smiles

Sweden, the minimum wage is $19 per hour and workers enjoy a minimum of

Volkswagen has set up in Tennessee, and the likes of Hyundai, KIA, BMW,

I've
bumped into people who want to kill everyone. And in all honesty I
understand them. Do I agree with the method of solution, no. But, the
evidence is substantial of the human population being more of a problem
than a solution to the bigger picture because of the current economic,
political and social models we've been following.
Wealthy Teen Gets Only Probation for Killing 4 People While Driving Drunk (Video). aattp.org
On
June 15, sixteen year old Ethan Anthony Couch and seven friends stole
alcohol from a local Walmart. After getting hammered, they decided it
was a good idea to head to another store for a “beer run,” so they
embarked on a brisk, drunken 70-mph cruise through a 40-mph zone.
A few hours later, four people were dead and NO ONE is being held accountable.

Tell the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District to stop GM mosquito experiments
Earth Tribe - Activist News shared GMO Free USA's photo.
US - Fears voiced over the planned introduction of genetically modified mosquitoes
This
week, applications by British company Oxitec to release GE olive flies
in Spain & Brazil, were withdrawn. The company was unable to provide
evidence to the Spanish & Brazilian
governments that these insects would not harm humans or the
environment. Oxitec is still pushing for approval to release
experimental genetically engineered mosquitoes into the Florida Keys.
The FDA is, as usual, asleep at the wheel. Please sign the petition and
contact the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District to update them on
this very important development. Oxitec can't provide evidence of the
safety of these insects and should therefore, not be allowed to release
them.

SAMPLE TEXT COMMENT, or write your own:
I urge you to reject Oxitec’s bid to experiment with GM mosquitoes in
the Florida Keys. Oxitech recently withdrew applications to release GM
Olive flies in Spain & Brazil because they don't have evidence that
their GM insects are safe for humans and for our environment.
Oxitec admits their system isn't foolproof. About one female is
accidentally released for every 1,500 male mosquitoes and the
consequence of being bit by one these genetically engineered female
mosquitoes is unknown. Biting female mosquitoes could inject an
engineered protein into humans along with other proteins from the
mosquitoes’ salivary gland. Oxitec has yet to conduct or publish any
study showing that this protein is not expressed in the salivary gland
and therefore cannot be passed on to humans.
We need more data. If something goes wrong the consequences could be
catastrophic not only for humans but also the whole ecosystem. I don’t
want this experimentation done in Florida or any part of our country.
