Before anyone considers carving into a Butterball turkey on Thanksgiving, they should watch this video.

A new Mercy For Animals hidden-camera investigation gives a shocking look behind the closed doors of Butterball factory farms—revealing the heartbreaking cruelty and neglect animals face at the hands of the world’s largest turkey producer

The startling investigation comes less than a year after MFA exposed horrific cruelty at another Butterball factory farm—a groundbreaking case that led to the first-ever felony cruelty to animals conviction related to birds used for food production in US history.

In never-before-seen footage that is being released today, MFA’s latest investigation exposes an ongoing culture of cruelty at Butterball, including:

workers kicking and stomping on birds, dragging them by their fragile wings and necks, and maliciously throwing turkeys onto the ground or on top of other birds;
birds suffering from serious untreated illnesses and injuries, including open sores, infections, and broken bones; and

This afternoon, members of the House Health Committee voted 11-9 along party lines to pass House Bill 298, the clear purpose of which is to defund Planned Parenthood in Ohio.

Despite testimony from doctors, clergy, rape survivors and advocates, social workers, and me—all in opposition to the bill—it now heads to the full House of Representatives for a vote.

Enough is enough! Let's call on Governor Kasich to show real leadership as the head of his party to shut this down. Take two actions now to send a clear message.

Call and email Governor Kasich to tell him what you think Donate today to support our efforts to defend against these attacks.

We must hold our decision-makers accountable and demand that they focus their efforts on building a healthier Ohio and respect women and their health care choices. Stand with Planned Parenthood today.

In September 2012, copies of a "resistance manual" and flyers promoting "a joyous class war" and sabotage within the prison appeared within Mansfield Correctional Institution (ManCI). According to a conduct report filed against alleged leaders, these materials "instruct inmates to bring the prison system to the brink" by engaging in a wide range of activities. The flyers were distributed by a group calling themselves the Army of the Twelve Monkeys, a reference to a 1990's science fiction film.

The flyers promote three types of activities. First, wasting resources: "run electrical appliance and flush sink water all day" and "demand all food, clothes and medical/dental you are entitled to". Second, damaging prison property: "break machines in the kitchen and OPI... pour salt water in staff computers... cut phone and computer lines... put gum, paperclips, and staples in door locks". Third, broader organizing calls: "gang members to unite against our common enemy" and "steal, sabotage, organize, strike, resist".

The goal of this book is to show the average voter that we have not been told the truth about our elections. As one who has spent a lifetime building computer models in engineering, corporate finance and investment analysis, I am not alone in claiming that our electoral system is broken. But this is not a book about politics. It is about rational and faith-based thinking.

A thorough analysis of the 1988-2008 state and national unadjusted exit polls has revealed startling results which prove systemic election fraud beyond any doubt. The one-sided pattern of “red shift” discrepancies to the recorded vote is mathematically impossible. Informing the average voter of this information is a major focus of this book.

Was the "fix" in on Election Day in Ohio? The questions surrounding Election Day activities in Ohio and Karl Rove’s now-infamous meltdown on Fox TV election night are causing a buzz in the election integrity movement.

Of course we do not know for sure what happened in Ohio – but we do know the circumstances were eerily similar to election tampering techniques the Free Press discovered after the 2004 election.

One major similarity was Rove's insistence to his colleagues on Fox News that the media consortium’s exit polls were wrong in Ohio. This is the same claim he made in 2004 concerning Ohio and 2000 in Florida.
