Message from Mais with the Avaaz team

 "I am from Homs, Syria -- a city under siege, where children and babies have been tortured and bombed. It is hell on earth, and it is hard to have hope, but right now I see a chance and I am urgently ca lling on everyone to help. In 48 hours, for the first time ever, all the major powers behind this war are going to meet. All parties say they want to hear the Syrian people's demands, and they want to show their own public they are doing something. So here is how we get 'a seat at the table' -- we commission a Syrian opinion poll, set up a live feed from Syrians to get clear demands presented to negotiators at the talks, and a million of us from across the world back the call for a ceasefire. It has taken a three year bloodbath to get this conference, now we only have hours to be heard. If we come together& nbsp;and build a ceasefire call and then show up boldly on screen and in global numbers at the meeting, we could help bring an end to the carn...

Abondonmentality

People in need feel abandoned Liberties are held for ransom Cover up the ruin of greed Promote interests over need They don't care for people suffering Congress acts like gangsters hustling We prefer just not to know them As they gut our food stamp programs Funded by myopic lobbies We lose from all their sick hobbies Make deals hidden from the public How we're dealt with is repugnant I'm still waiting for the day When this evil goes away Replace a cutting of rations With unending pure compassion How to do this, look at history So peace won't remain a mystery Mix the cry of desperation With ideas to help this nation Reduce empire and it's excess To help people in such distress Warfare doesn't help our might But it serves to blind our sight Take away the blood lust mind Leave self-indulgement behind Treat all persons as our equal Then we will start helping people

Brazilian Farmers Set to Sue Monsanto for $1 Billion | We Support Organic

Brazilian Farmers Set to Sue Monsanto for $1 Billion | We Support Organic "   "The judge said that Monsanto is unfairly taking advantage of its favorable position in the market as the only technology provider of Intacta RR2, in forcing farmers to “to comply with clauses that are burdensome, if not illegal” as a condition of purchasing the product. In addition, the judge said that Monsanto’s agreement may contravene Brazilian consumer law."   I wish the Brazilian farmers luck as American farmers recently lost their suit in OSGATA V.Monsanto Supreme Court case.  Could it be that Affluenza prevails in the courts?  Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was a former Monsanto Lawyer but that's just a coincidence, right?

TPP Poetry Slam

In terms of profits, the elite can keep it There's a reason why the TPP is kept secret It's not about trade, or else they'd release it Now it is up to those who care to defeat it This deal wont help trade among nations It just expands the profits of corporations What about the sweatshops in the third world? Do you care your shirt's made by little girls? Treated like slaves, it's quite a charade How 500 lobbyists decide our fate It's not funny, when you ditch the money And find how our future once was sunny This is not about liberal or conservative It's telling truth to those who never heard of it If we value our conscience, then let's decide It doesn't matter if you are left or our right This is a deal Obama's seeking to fast track It's just that industries want more cash back I buy American, support union made All workers should get a fair wage It's hard to do when big money is against you All you have on your side i...
