Greetings!

Of the western states, Colorado may have suffered the least damage from the surging 'Red Tide', although some progressive candidates did not survive. 

 

CO MTA will meet this Thursday, 11/11/10 at 630pm at Panera Bread in Arvada (77th Ave and Wadsworth Pkwy). We will discuss the election outcome and our response.

 

Study shows that most corporations pay NO income taxes.

(Reuters) - Most U.S. and foreign corporations doing business in the United States avoid paying any federal income taxes, despite trillions of dollars worth of sales, a government study released on Tuesday said.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

 

The Earth is the common heritage of humanity. It is a closed ecological system where each part is dependent upon the others for its survival.

The earth ecosystems are under tremendous stress caused by human activity, threatening collapse of the food chain.

We must move rapidly away from the consumer culture, the extensive use of plastic, and the fossil fuel economy that is destroying this earth.

I leave you with my mantra for a better world:

  • Reuse, reduce, recycle, remember the earth.
  • Relocalize the economy; subsidize local American jobs.
  • Go green, eat green, grow green, be green.
  • Build democracy, establish community, vote.
  • Abolish corporate personhood.

Democracy is not something you believe or a place to hang your hat, it is something you do. You participate. If we stop participating democracy crumbles. (paraphrasing Abby Hoffman).

Best regards,


Michael Melio
