The U.S. Must Support Strong UN Mission in Timor-Leste. The UN Security Council will soon debate the nature of the next UN mission for Timor-Leste (East Timor). Amidst violence and political turmoil, East Timor's prime minister has resigned. Dozens have been killed, houses have been burned or looted across the city, and most of the capital's population has fled their homes. The reasons for this instability are many and complex, but UN involvement remains crucial. The U.S. must support a robust UN mission to enable the new nation to achieve peace with justice and economic prosperity.
Both ETAN and the Timorese government have consistently advocated for more effective UN activities. The U.S. government, however, has repeatedly pushed the UN to rapidly reduce its presence since 2002. U.S. Ambassador to the UN John Bolton recently stated his belief in this unwise approach. But several Representatives are pushing Ambassador Bolton and Secretary of State Rice to support a robust UN mission. Urge your Representative to sign their letter.

Contact your Representative and tell her/him to:

Republicans are using the national frustration with gas prices as an excuse to push through even more giveaways to Big Oil instead of getting serious about clean energy alternatives that can move us away from oil.
Why? Because the oil industry has bought the majority stake in the Republican party. Big Oil has given hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign contributions to Republicans and in return, Big Oil has received billions in subsidies from Congress.
We can't afford Congress' addiction to oil money anymore. It keeps gas prices high, keeps us dependent on the Middle East and is blocking progress on a clean energy future,
Congress needs to know that we're paying attention. We need them to start working for us, not Big Oil. Tomorrow we're going to make it clear that we want an oil-free, clean energy future and we want it now.

Congress is pushing a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment -- a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from deciding which Web sites work best for you -- based on what site pays them the most. If the public doesn't speak up now, our elected officials will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign.

On Wednesday, May 10th, the House Appropriations Committee went on record in support of addressing global warming with mandatory measures to reduce U.S. emissions. The “Sense of the Congress” resolution mirrors one passed by the Senate last year. This small step is a cause to rejoice however. . . Opponents are trying every trick of the trade to stop Congress from going on record that global warming is real and that we need to do something about it NOW! We need your voice, as a person of faith concerned for the gracious gift of God’s creation, to let Congress know this language should remain!
Please TAKE ACTION NOW by urging your Congressional representative to support of the “Sense of the Congress on Global Warming” resolution in the Interior Appropriations bill. Send a letter to the following decision maker(s):

Your help is needed to bring a dynamic exhibit on the human cost of war to Columbus, Ohio June 12-14. The American Friends Service Committee exhibit: "Eyes Wide Open: The Human Cost of War" will open at 11:00 AM, Monday, June 12, on the West Lawn of the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio (High Street between Broad and State) and remain in place through Wednesday, June 14. The Episcopal Peace Fellowship is bringing the exhibit to coincide with the national General Convention of the Episcopal Church in the USA. We need additional contributions from individuals and groups: $10 from 600 people, or $100 from 60 groups, or a combination! All contributions will be used for the exhibit.
The exhibit features:
• A panel display memorializing the civilian Iraqis killed in the war.
• A field of empty combat boots symbolizing the more than 2,350 US soldiers who have lost their lives, each pair of boots bearing the name of a fallen soldier.
• An interlocked field of shoes and sandals representing Iraqi children, women, and men who have died.

Last week, I wrote to you about a back-door deal in Congress that's threatening to destroy America's first offshore wind project. Already nearly 18,000 of you have recognized the urgency of this situation and taken action. Thank you. But there's more to do and we can't stop now. While you're paying close to $3.00 a gallon at the gas pump, Congress is secretly trying to kill big oil's competition, and only YOU can help us fight back.
Right now, the Senate holds the key to keeping offshore wind energy alive, so your senators need to hear from you TODAY. Call 1-866-200-7070 now and we'll connect you instantly to your senators' offices, and provide you with exactly what you'll need to say to convince them to save the Cape Wind project.
Please, less than five minutes of your time could make a real difference in the future of renewable energy in our country, so take action.

What are you doing on May 2, other than hoping your vote will count as cast?
We need a few people all over Ohio to staff a table outside (100 feet) a precinct to take parallel (not official election) ballots. Two shifts--morning, 7am till one pm, and the afternoon shift , 1 pm till 7:30pm. Three people per shift. Then you all gather some place and count the ballots and report them to our central headquarters in Col by phone and email. It would be good if two of you could then go to the county BOE and watch the official vote count come in and get the records they hand out to observers. Parallel elections are fun, you get to talk to people about their voting issues, and we just might catch some "monkeying" with the election. It is also a check on the machine counts.

New Orleans Stands Up By Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. 4/4/2006 - Tribune Media Services
Thousands of New Orleans residents marched on Saturday to demand the right to vote. They marched across the Mississippi River Bridge where Gretna police had repelled residents as they tried to escape the horrors of Katrina. Forty years after the passage of the Voting Rights Act, African Americans once more must march to gain the right to vote.
There's an election called for New Orleans on April 22, but the South has always had elections. After centuries of slavery and segregation, the reason for the Voting Rights Act was to defend the right of blacks to vote. The Act requires the federal government clear ahead of time - preclearance - any changes in voting procedures to protect against any trick or scheme that would dilute the voting rights of minorities in those areas of the country with a history of discrimination.
