So It's LIke This.....




California has a Clean Air Act (CAA), which became law in 1988.... The CAA regulates what can & cannot be spewed in our air.  The law is enforced by California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Air Quality Management Department (AQMD).

The CAA, is more stringent than its Federal EPA counterpart.... 

Now here's some things to ponder:

The CAA is being threatened by Valero/Tesoro Oil Company.  They have a processing plant in Wilmington, CA (that's close to LAX) and they have been cited many times recently for unclean emissions (those over the legal limit of pollutants) that they purposefully spew into the air.  The CEO of Valero, some cowboy in TX, has proposed a ballot initiative for this coming November's 2010 election.  This initiative would in effect ameliorate the CAA as we know it and allow Valero/Tesoro to spew as much toxic waste into our air as they so desire.

When the CEO of Valero/Tesoro was approached about this, his comment was to the effect of: "I have a business to run and profits to make...which is more important that the air quality in CA."

More information can be found on this @ CREEDO.

So, then I have another thought (you didn't really believe me to be finished)....  When I consider the CAA, I wonder where the use of chemtrails fits in.  Chemtrails (NOT to be confused with contrails) are a form of toxic weather modification emissions spewed above many states including but not limited to: CA, UT, NV, & AZ.
 
"What's the difference between a jet contrail and a chemtrail? According to the U.S. Air Force, jet contrails form above 33,000 feet when hot engine exhaust momentarily condenses ice crystals into pencil-thin vapor trails that quickly vanish like the wake behind a boat.
 
Chemtrails (CTs) look like contrails initially, but are much thicker, extend across the sky and are often laid down in varying patterns of Xs, tick-tack-toe grids, cross-hatched and parallel lines. Instead of quickly dissipating, chemtrails expand and drip feathers and mare s tails. In 30 minutes or less, they open into wispy formations which join together, forming a thin white veil or a "fake cirrus-type cloud" that persists for hours."

Chemtrails can consist of a combination of toxins in aerosol form: 
Laboratory examination of those chemicals found that they were manufacturing wastes from military industry and biowarfare substances. In several laboratory analyses, the composition of chemtrails was revealed:
1. Aluminum barium
2. Aluminum Oxide
3. Bacilli and Molds

4. Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
5. Pseudomonas Florescens
6. Bacilli Amyloliquefaciens
7. Streptomyces
8. Enterobacteriaceae
9. Serratia Marcscens
10. Human white Blood Cells-A restrictor enzyme used in research labs to snip and combine DNA
11. Enterobacter Cloacal
12. Other Bacilli and other toxic molds capable of producing heart disease and meningitis as well as acute upper respiratory and gastrointestinal distress.
13. Carcinogen Zinc Cadmium Sulfide.

In the past year the use of Chemtrails over the Angeles National Forest have more than doubled.  The County of Los Angeles BOS has approved the use of "weather modification" methods and has a publication housed at its Libraries explaining & defending the use of these poisons in the air. You can view the PDF document @:
dpw.lacounty.gov/wrd/cloudseeding/cloud_seeding_draft_mnd_final.pdf


What I want to know is why the state of CA allows the spewing of chemtrails but prohibits other noxious & toxic air pollutants?

I want to know why, when I e-mail Brad Sherman, Barbara Boxer, or Diane Feinstein, and/or the national "clean planet" organizations that I support in regards to chemtrails I am ignored?

How is it that it's not okay for Valero/Tesoro, our vehicles, & local industries to produce air pollutants, but it's acceptable for the chemtrail planes to do so?

Huh?

It's not permissible....and if you give a damn about your childrens' children, our non-two-legged relations, and the general health & well being of our planet...then you know this has to stop.....  And, in order for it to stop you have to raise your voice and be heard.  Take the time, make the call, write the letter, send the fax or e-mail:

Offshore Drilling Ban

Dear Auntie Nanuuq:


Thank you for writing to me to express your opposition to expanding offshore oil and gas production. I appreciate the time you took to write, and I welcome the opportunity to respond.

I share your concerns and agree that expanding offshore drilling represents a false promise and an unnecessary risk to our coastal communities, economies and ecosystems. The United States has only three percent of the known global oil reserves under its water and lands but accounts for nearly 23 percent of global oil consumption. Energy independence cannot be achieved by expanding offshore oil and gas production. The recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that drilling in critical places off of our coastlines carries with it real and potentially catastrophic risk. Instead, the United States must make a permanent shift toward low-carbon, renewable energy and energy efficient technologies. Investing in clean energy will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase energy independence, and contribute to long-term economic growth.

You will be interested to know that I joined Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Patty Murray (D-WA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) in introducing a bill (S. 3358) that would permanently prohibit offshore drilling on the outer continental shelf of California, Oregon and Washington State. I have also cosponsored legislation (S. 3308) that would require the Secretary of the Interior to suspend oil and gas exploration, development, and production activities in the outer continental shelf, including seismic and other geological and geophysical surveys, until the joint investigation into the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has been completed. I am pleased that the Administration has declared that there will not be any leasing in new areas off the coast of the United States until a review of the Gulf oil spill is completed. In my view, very clear standards and greater environmental and safety oversight should be in place before drilling resumes and any new rigs are placed offshore. 

Please know that I share your concerns about expanding domestic oil and gas production on the outer continental shelf, and I will keep your thoughts in mind should the Senate consider legislation on this issue in the 111th Congress. 

Again, thank you for writing. If you have additional comments or questions, please contact my Washington, D.C. staff at (202) 224-3841. Best regards. 



Sincerely yours,
 Dianne Feinstein
         United States Senator

Californians Vote Green.com (Or Do They)?

Isn't this a beautiful photograph?  Do not the words evoke a pro-environment group?  Does not this make you think that the "Green Party" has sent you a mailing?  Well, you better think again and read the Fine Print. Because I am here to tell you after I read the fine fine print I began to wonder what the hell these people are up to.

I am by no way or means a political dummy or ostrich...I GIVE A DAMN about what's going on politically, environmentally, medically, consumer wise,etc.  So, out of curiosity I wanted to know why a so called "Green" voters group would endorse those propositions paid for by PG&E & Mercury Insurance.

According to the disclaimer at the bottom of the page in fine print, I quote: "Appearance in this mailer does not necessarily imply endorsement of others appearing in this mailer, nor does it imply endorsement of,or opposition to, any issues set forth in this mailer.  Appearance is paid for and authorized by each candidate and ballot measure which is designated by an *"

I'm going to say right out: What a crock of crap!  If this organization was so concerned with being "Green" and pro-environment (because that Is that 'Green' means)...then they would not accept any type of payment from PG&E or Mercury Insurance!  Nor would they accept any type of payment or donation from dubious candidates.

When you accept money from bad intentioned corporations & people (Mercury Insurance & PG&E) then you are In Fact endorsing them.....You are aiding & abetting them by taking a pay-off/bribe.  There is no two ways about it....you have fallen into the greed way...and you are in no way absolving yourself of collusion by adding a written "disclaimer" on the bottom of your literature.  

Ten (10) out of 15 candidates paid to have their names placed in this mailer and all four (4) of the State & City measures (3 of which are anti-environment & consumer) appearing on this mailer were also put in by paid campaign funds.

When I went to the website URL listed on the mailer there was absolutely no information about the group itself posted/available.  What there was however was this: 
 
"If you are interested in purchasing placement, please send us a list of candidates and measures that you will be running in the June primary to rtaylor@californiansvotegreen.com. Click here to submit your slate candidacy information (You must have recieved your order confirmation number before submitting. If you need a confirmation number contact pauljoseph29@msn.com)"

Very interesting......makes you wonder don't it?

In all fairness, I emailed Paul and inquired about his intent and I pointed out his group's lack of integrity.....  We shall see.....

Voter BEWARE!!!!!

Boycott: Valero/Tessero Gasoline

CREDO Action | more than a 
network. a movement.




Boycott Valero Gas
boycott
valero gas
Your message to Valero CEO Bill Klesse:
I will be boycotting all Valero Energy owned and supplied gas stations until you drop your funding of the ballot initiative that will destroy California landmark clean energy and air pollution law, AB 32.
Clicking here will add your name to the petition.
Dear Friend,
A few days ago, I sent Valero Energy CEO Bill Klesse an email asking him to stop attacking AB 32 — California's landmark Global Warming Solutions Act. I was surprised to get an actual — real-life — response from him:
From: Klesse, Bill
Date: Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 12:02 PM
Subject: Re: Stop Attacking CA AB 32
To: Adam Quinn
I assume you realize that we are discussing CO2. Many people do not realize this is a CO2 law. We are not willing to ruin our economy, our business, your life style and our country over AB-32.

Sent from my iPhone
In 2006, California passed The Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32), making our state number one in the world in legislating real reductions in the greenhouse gases — including C02 — that cause global warming.
Now Valero Energy — a Texas-based oil company — has already spent half a million dollars to fund a deceptive initiative that would destroy AB 32, California's landmark clean energy and air pollution law.
Valero is directing its corporate funds to a campaign seeking to take our law off the books via the California initiative process. If Valero's money can generate enough paid signatures to get this initiative on the ballot, the company may succeed in rolling back AB 32 in November's election.
Today, CREDO Action and Courage Campaign members are fighting back by launching a boycott of Valero gas stations. Send a message to Valero CEO Bill Klesse telling him you won't buy Valero gas as long as he continues to fund the attack on California's environment.
Bill Klesse needs to hear from you that we are serious.
We'll deliver your message immediately to Bill Klesse and then later to a Valero station near you so Valero's station managers can also send a message to their bosses — attacking California's global warming law is bad for business.
Valero and another Texas-based oil company, Tesero, are going to need to spend at least a million dollars to gather signatures for a November ballot initiative that would kill AB 32 and new clean energy development.
Valero and Tesero operate gas stations under the following brands. Boycott all of these locations:
  • Valero
  • Beacon
  • Diamond Shamrock
  • Shamrock
  • Corner Store
  • Ultramar
  • Tesoro
  • Mirastar
  • USA Petroleum
Valero's CEO needs to hear the message loud and clear: Hands off California's clean air! Sign the pledge and join the California boycott of Valero. Your pressure works.
