Watch this new video from the Rodale Institute's Demand Organic campaign

and learn how, if the world’s 3.5 billion tillable acres were transitioned to

organic agriculture, organic farms could sequester 40% of yearly carbon

emissions. Then, tell Congress: Organic Is the Answer to Climate Change!

Eli Lilly is now the sole manufacturer of rBGH – the artificial hormone

given to dairy cows that may increase people’s risk of cancer. Eli Lilly also

manufactures breast cancer treatment drugs as well as a pill that “reduces

the risk†of breast cancer. It really is as outrageous as it sounds. Eli

Lilly is milking cancer. Tell them to stop making rBGH.

Protect Our Health from Toxic Chemicals

There are 82,000 chemicals available for use in the U.S., yet only about

200 have been assessed for safety. “Hazardous Chemicals in Health Care: A

Snapshot of Chemicals in Doctors and Nurses,†revealed toxic chemicals

present in the bodies of twenty doctors and nurses from across America.

Evidence of widespread contamination of human beings makes it clear that

the nation’s outdated and ineffective chemical management system must be

reformed.

Tell your Representative and your Senators that we must protect our health

from toxic chemicals.

_Take Action_ (http://action.psr.org/site/R?i=7YRrYDI8KQxUwgZsTfUPNA..)

They said single-payer was off the table. In the next two weeks there will

be a floor vote on HR 676 in the House. We need to get a big majority of

Democrats to vote for the Weiner amendment –Medicare for All, HR 676–when it

comes to a vote.

We need you to make as many calls as possible into your member’s office.

Let’s make single payer a reality! Tell your member of Congress to support

both the Weiner and Kucinich amendments!

Don't let the nuclear industry buy the climate bill!

Some Senators are trying to add tens of billions of taxpayer dollars for

the nuclear industry to the bill. We can stop them if we all act. I hope

you'll join me and send them a letter from this link:

Also, call your Senators, with the same message: no taxpayer subsidies for

the nuclear industry.

It's easy to do: just call 202-224-3121 and ask for your Senator's office.
