[LAAMN] 2013-10-07,09: NRC Meetings for Nuke Waste Comments
2013-10-07,09: NRC Meetings for Nuke Waste Comments Public Meeting Schedule - NRC: Public Involvement in [Nuclear] Waste Confidence Monday, October 7 San Luis Obispo, California Courtyard by Marriott San Luis Obispo 1605 Calle Joaquin Road San Luis Obispo, CA 93405 Open House - 6:00-7:00 p.m. PDT Meeting - 7:00-10:00 p.m. PDT Wednesday, October 9 Carlsbad, California Sheraton Carlsbad Resort Spa 5480 Grand Pacific Drive Carlsbad, CA 92008 Open House - 6:00-7:00 p.m. PDT Meeting - 7:00-10:00 p.m. PDT http://www.nrc.gov/waste/spent-fuel-storage/wcd/pub-involve.html#schedulehttp://www.nrc.gov/waste/spent-fuel-storage/wcd/pub-involve.html#schedule - - - Below are some suggested questions and comments for the meeting. A. Stop making nuclear wastes. 1. Without a scientifically proven solution for safely disposing of nuclear waste, we must stop making it. Clean, renewable sources of electricity are readily available and affordable, so there is no excuse for continuing to rely on nuclear power. 2. Waste Confidence is a Radioactive Con Game. The purpose of NRC's Waste Confidence rule is to streamline nuclear plant licensing by ignoring the million-year, multi-billion dollar problem of what to do with radioactive waste. The only problem Waste Confidence solves is how to permit nuclear plants to continue making this waste when there is no solution for it. 3. Obey the Court's Ban on Licensing Nuclear Reactors. There is no safe storage solution for nuclear waste, and NRC's new Waste Confidence policy is no more credible than the one the courts threw out. There is no safe dose of radiation, and to pursue licensing on the base of Waste Confidence is illegal and immoral. B. Accelerate the schedule for transferring spent fuel rods from overcrowded spent fuel pools into dry casks. 1. Diablo Canyon's spent fuel pools currently hold 5 times the amount of spent fuel for which it was designed. In addition, it is surrounded by 13 earthquake faults, 2 of which are designated as major and active. 2. The pools are not protected by redundant emergency makeup and cooling systems or housed within robust containment structures having reinforced concrete walls several feet thick 3. Irradiated fuel casks can withstand environmental disasters that spent fuel pools cannot, as evidenced by the continued function of the dry casks at Fukushima. The casks survived the 9.0 quake and continue to protect the irradiated fuel, even though the tsunami flooded them. These containers have not exploded, are not on fire, are not catastrophically leaking, and do not require ongoing addition of liquid to cool. They are out-performing the pools on the site. 4. Dry casks have the advantage of passive cooling via airflow, making them less vulnerable to natural disaster and sabotage. 5. Spent fuel pools are attractive targets for terrorists. Many other suggestions for comments, compiled by organizations including Mothers for Peace nationwide are available at http://www.nirs.org/radwaste/wasteconfidence.htm https://www.facebook.com/groups/406033089478492/permalink/521899941225139/ --- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --- Unsubscribe: mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com --- Subscribe: mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com --- Digest: mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com --- Help: mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn --- Post: mailto:la...@egroups.com --- Archive1: http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn --- Archive2: http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com --- Yahoo!

FWD: LAPD traps anti-war marchers, two arrested http://www.laactivist.com/2013/09/01/lapd-traps-anti-war-marchers-two-arrested/ LAPD traps anti-war marchers, two arrested September 1, 2013 - By Dan Bluemel In perhaps the most spirited anti-war demonstration Los Angeles has seen in a while, two protesters were arrested, and many others were cited for jaywalking, after being trapped and detained by police in a downtown parking lot yesterday. ... // An experience like this is chilling, [protestor Jeremy Kauffman] said. Having a bunch people trapped in a parking lot for an hour really might affect some people's willingness to go out to another protest.

His trial is likely to be concluded in the coming days. Manning was arrested in May 2010 after allegedly leaking more than 250,000 U.S. diplomatic cables, 400,000 U.S. Army reports about Iraq and another 90,000 about Afghanistan, as well as the material used in the Collateral Murder video produced by WikiLeaks: videos of the July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike and the 2009 Garani airstrike in Afghanistan. At the time, it constituted the largest set of restricted documents ever leaked to the public. Much of it was published by WikiLeaks or its media partners between April and November 2010. Manning has so far been detained for three years first in Kuwait, then in solitary confinement at the Marine Corps Brig in Quantico, Va., and finally at a medium-security military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. before being charged with 22 offenses, including communicating national defense information to an unauthorized source and aiding the enemy. He pleaded guilty in February 2013 to 10 of the 22 charges, which could carry a sentence of up to 20 years. A full life sentence is now also possible. IPBs Co-President Tomas Magnusson comments: IPB believes that among the very highest moral duties of a citizen is to make known war crimes and crimes against humanity. This is within the broad meaning of the Nuremberg Principles enunciated at the end of the Second World War. When Manning revealed to the world the crimes being committed by the US military he did so as an act of obedience to this high moral duty. It is for this reason too that Manning has also been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. In more general terms it is well known that war operations, and especially illegal ones, are frequently conducted under the cover of secrecy. To penetrate this wall of secrecy by revealing information that should be accessible to all is an important contribution to the struggle against war, and acts as a challenge to the military system which dominates both the economy and society in todays world. IPB believes that whistleblowers are vital in upholding democracies especially in the area of defense and security. A heavy sentence for Manning would not only be unjust but would also have very negative effects on the right to freedom of expression which the US claims to uphold. - - - http://lists.gp-us.org/mailman/listinfo/atw-news ### --- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --- Unsubscribe: mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com --- Subscribe: mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com --- Digest: mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com --- Help: mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn --- Post: mailto:la...@egroups.com --- Archive1: http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn --- Archive2: http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com --- Yahoo!

The VC will also gather volunteers to provide for monthly newspaper production, delivery subscriptions, computer assistance for John, and development fundraising. Hours will depend on need availability and part of the job is to find a new VC replacement before leaving the position. The VC and all other positions are unpaid due to CL's low budget and the fact that the newspaper is available free citywide and to subscribers at low cost.

[LAAMN] (CORRECTION) 2013-05 CL URGENT: Call for Volunteers (2013-05-01)
(CORRECTION) 2013-05 CL URGENT: Call for Volunteers (2013-05-01) [I forgot the contact info in the original email.] Change-Links - Independent Progressive Newspaper and Community Calendar Update: May 1, 2013 URGENT: Call for Volunteers Change-Links needs a * VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR * to assist John in bringing together people to determine the necessary resources for restoring CL to the permanent, reliable status it enjoyed for over 20 years. The VC will also gather volunteers to provide for monthly newspaper production, delivery subscriptions, computer assistance for John, and development fundraising. Hours will depend on need availability and part of the job is to find a new VC replacement before leaving the position. The VC and all other positions are unpaid due to CL's low budget and the fact that the newspaper is available free citywide and to subscribers at low cost. Overwork and stress contributed to John's health issues as well as CL's ongoing publication hiatus. CL belongs to our activist community upon whose help it now relies. Shared among us, our work can be easily joyfully continued into the future. To apply, use the contact info at the bottom of this message. Change-Links is one of the few remaining print edition regional progressive newspapers. Our event calendar covers Southern California, focusing on Los Angeles. We provide news, resources and obits with a focus on social environmental justice. Some potential readers are not Internet involved or have not yet discovered SoCal's vibrant progressive community. A print publication is the best way to reach this underserved population. Please help us with your volunteer services, your subscriptions and your donations! John is still recovering at home. Give him a call or send an email: 818.782.1412, 818.681.7448.cell, cha...@pacbell.net.

[LAAMN] SUBMIT 2013-06-01: Dream Scholarship to Peoples College of Law
SUBMIT 2013-06-01: Dream Scholarship to Peoples College of Law https://www.facebook.com/events/157584967736265 2013 Law School Dream Scholarship [$2,000] to the Peoples College of Law Public · By Law Causa Saturday, June 1, 2013 12:00pm ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Law Causa Presents ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ * * * 2nd Annual Law Causa Student DREAM Scholarship * * * # # #SHARE### Los Ángeles, CA On April 10, 2013 Law Causa will begin accepting applications for our second annual Banned Books Scholarship, which will support one undocumented/dream student on course to a legal education at The People's College of Law. The Banned Book scholarship, recently created by Law Causa in collaboration with the Peoples College of Law (PCL), is dedicated to the memory of Ilka Tanya Payán, a PCL alumnus, attorney, prominent actress and AIDS activist. LAW CAUSA Law Causa is a grassroots community service organization that is committed to advancing issues of social justice by empowering and inspiring students of color and underrepresented communities to pursue a career in the legal field. We assist activists and community members of Los Ángeles with admission into Law School by providing insight, referrals, popular education, and resources. PEOPLES COLLEGE OF LAW PCL was created to bring legal resources to under-represented communities and train legal advocates who will secure progressive social change and justice in society. Our goals are 1) to train advocates for human rights, tenants' rights, women's rights, LGBTI communities, consumer rights, workers' rights; to fight discrimination, economic and political oppression, abuse of power, and 2) to enable and empower those who have been historically denied legal resources and protections. ### SCHOLARSHIP DETAILS: Traditional legal institutions have mass-produced lawyers whose concept of lawyering consists of an elite organization dedicated to maintaining the national political-economic-social status quo, as well as the lawyer's superior position in it, by serving the rich or acting as legal functionaries for the State. Law Causa aims to help facilitate the next generation of lawyers who will serve communities of color and neighborhoods which have been historically disenfranchised in the realm law. If you want to become a deputy district attorney or work in the legal department of some corporation, don't waste your time and ours by applying. There are other scholarships for you. Law Causas goal is to empower and inspire underrepresented communities to enter the field of law by demystifying the law school admissions process through popular education, community events, tabling scholarships and more. One of the communities we work with are Undocumented Youth also known as the Dreamer Movement. We believe that by empowering Dreamers to enter the field of law, graduate, pass the California State Bar and become Peoples Lawyers we can empower the next generation of conscious litigators and create substantial change in the legal systems that govern our society. For this reason we have created the 2nd annual Law Causa Student Dream Scholarship to benefit those we believe will make a real difference. Last year we raised $2,000 and were able to help 2 deserving students pay for tuition at the Peoples College of Law. Our Dream Scholarship will pay for 1/2 years tuition to the Peoples College of Law, a small fully licensed degree-granting, Juris Doctorate program. This scholarship will be given to one student who can demonstrate a commitment to social change (see application). As of now we have raised nearly $2,000half of one years tuitionand are eager to accept applicants for our Fall 2013 scholarship.

Join Activists from Occupy Los Angeles and other groups at Pershing Square at 8:00pm Friday night, for this autonoumus action, where we will be marching to CCA (626 Wilshire) to fight gentrification and the corrupt practices of the lobby group Central City Association. BRING TENT. We are peacefully gathering to protest the Economic Development Meeting and the downtown 2020 plan to build new high rises, the AEG Stadium and further criminalize and push out the homeless. The CCA is the localized manifestation and microcosm of everything wrong with policy, the 1% and obsession with wealth and prestige. In this hyper-localized resistance, everyone must fight the bully in their respective backyards, as a community. We have power in numbers and will be OCCUPYING the CCA, who monitors the public spaces of downtown with private security for the one percent. Red shirt, green shirt, purple shirt, police all working together to criminalize the homeless, communities of color and more recently, to patrol protesters in the area.

[LAAMN] TONIGHT/830p: Earth Hour--- Lights Out!
2013-03-23/830p local time worldwide: Earth Hour--- Lights Out! http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2013/mar/22/earth-hour-switch-off-lights?CMP=twt_gu [many links are in the online version of the article] Earth Hour: millions prepare to switch off the lights Thousands of cities and towns across the world, including major landmarks, to turn off lights to show concern for the environment Earth Hour is here again, and WWF is calling on hundreds of millions of people in thousands of cities and towns around the world to switch off their lights for an hour at 8.30pm local time on Saturday 23 March to show their concern for the environment. Last year saw the lights go out in homes and businesses in more than 6,950 cities and towns. The campaign even went into space when astronauts reduced power on the International Space Station. This year, more than 150 countries and territories are expected to participate, with Palestine, Tunisia, Galapagos, Suriname, French Guyana, St Helena and Rwanda joining the movement for the first time. Some of the key landmarks that will mark the event include the Sydney opera house and Harbour bridge, Petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore's Marina Bay Sands, Tokyo tower, Taipei 101, the Bird's Nest in Beijing, the Gateway of India, the world's tallest building the Burj Khalifa, the Ancient Citadel of Erbil in Kurdistan, Table Mountain, the Bosphorus Bridge, the Eiffel Tower, the Brandenburg Gate, the UK Houses of Parliament, Buckingham palace, the Empire State Building, Niagara Falls and Los Angeles airport. Landmarks switching their lights off for the first time for Earth Hour this year include Copenhagen's Little Mermaid statue and Florence's Statue of David. At the global media launch for Earth Hour 2013 in Singapore last month, CEO and co-founder, Andy Ridley, highlighted the grassroots nature of the movement: People from all walks of life, from all nations around the world, are the lifeblood of the Earth Hour interconnected global community. They have proven time and time again that if you believe in something strongly enough, you can achieve amazing things. These stories aren't unique, this is happening all over the world. Earth Hour has its share of critics, who say it symbolises environmentalism as living in the dark. Author George Marshall wrote in 2009: Asking people to sit in the dark plays very well to a widely held prejudice that 'the greens' want us all to go back to living in caves. This year, Prof Bjorn Lomborg, a prominent critic of the economic cost of dealing with climate change, has warned the gesture will do little to help the planet and gives people the wrong impression about how to address climate issues: Global warming is a real problem, but Earth Hour is not the answer. Taken to its logical conclusion, if switching the lights off for one hour is a good idea, why not for all the other 8,759 hours of the year? Some energy experts have also said that Earth Hour could result in an increase in carbon emissions and place great strain on electricity grids. Fossil-fuelled power stations could be required to fire up quickly when everyone turns their lights back on, rendering all good intentions useless at a flick of a switch. But WWF maintains Earth Hour is not about saving energy but raising awareness. Part of this year's campaign is I Will If You Will where you can pledge to take action beyond Earth Hour and get your friends, family and colleagues involved. WWF also wants to spread the word using social media. Earth Hour events around the world Organisers in the United Kingdom hope to break the record of 7 million people who took part last year. Landmarks that will turn off their lights include Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square, BFI Imax, the London Eye, the Gherkin, Edinburgh castle, Brighton Pier, Westminster abbey, Durham cathedral, Old Trafford, Canterbury cathedral, Windsor Castle and Tewkesbury abbey. WWF-UK is hosting a night at the Southbank in London that will stream live content from around the world and feature a live acoustic performance by the band McFly, who have done the Harlem Shake in panda onesies to launch the campaign. Celebrity chefs including Raymond Blanc, Gordon Ramsay and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall have created special recipes for families to prepare and eat by candlelight, and WWF has teamed up with a Kevin McCloud, Miranda Richardson and Alistair McGowan, who have recorded readings of Rudyard Kipling's famous Just So stories. Earth Hour organisers and WWF affiliate Fundación Vida Silvestre is encouraging participants in Argentina to support a senate bill to make Banco Namuncurá (Burdwood) a marine protected area. If passed, the 34,000-km sq area will raise the protected area of Argentina's seas from 1% to 4%. In 2007, 2.2 million people took part in the first Earth Hour in Sydney. This year, some of

So don't forget to bring a Jacket. PLEASE BRING Pot Luck Snacks Desserts Please RSVP to: 310-458-7213 or: jan...@mindspring.com FREE EVENT! EMERGENCY ARISING! ARE THEY READY TO THROW SAN ONOFRE'S SWITCH? HOW WILL WE STOP THEM? In the past few days, ominous signs have surfaced around San Onofre. General Electric has gone public with its view that the reactors there are safe and ready to re-start. The utilities have told the Nuclear Regulatory Commission the plant can be run at 100% power, even though they may only want to test it at 70%. The NRC has said it will decide on the re-start in April or May, which does not give us much time. It has promised at least one more public meeting, which may not rise to the standard of an official hearing. There is more. After a year in which the public learned there is no real need for these reactors, and that their owners knew they were installing faulty turbines, nonetheless the utilities want us to foot their $765 million bill for them .after all this, the pressure for re-start is rising. In the backdrop, Fukushima's power has allegedly been restored after breathless hours wondering if there will be sufficient cooling for spent fuel pools that could still spew horrendous clouds of radiation throughout the planet. And a tragic official study reveals more than 40,000---FORTY THOUSAND!--- cases of thyroid abnormalities among children near the reactors. Our meeting will confront these terrible realities and focus on how we can save southern California from a similar fate. Harvey Wasserman has emphasized that IT IS EASIER TO KEEP NUCLEAR PLANTS CLOSED THAN TO SHUT THEM DOWN!! If you care about this threat in the least, THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW! Keep yourself your friends informed, bring them along. Please RSVP Don't miss this meeting HARVEY WASSERMAN helped coin the phrase No Nukes in 1973 and continues to work to rid the planet of lethal reactors like San Onofre and Diablo Canyon, where he was arrested in 1984. He's author of SOLARTOPIA! OUR GREEN-POWERED EARTH, the first full-scale vision of a green-powered Earth. He edits: www.nukefree.org and his Green Power Wellness Show is at: www.prn.fm On another front, Wasserman, along with Bob Fitrakis, helped uncover the theft of the 2004 presidential election in Ohio. He's co-authored six books on election protection, as well as HARVEY WASSERMAN'S HISTORY OF THE US, introduced by Howard Zinn. = - - - http://lists.gp-us.org/mailman/listinfo/atw-news ### --- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --- Unsubscribe: mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com --- Subscribe: mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com --- Digest: mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com --- Help: mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn --- Post: mailto:la...@egroups.com --- Archive1: http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn --- Archive2: http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com --- Yahoo!

Southern Cal Edison will hold another of its Inside SONGS open house. This is a great opportunity to talk to representatives from the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) and ask them the hard questions! Southern California Edison Inside SONGS Open House Thursday, March 21, 2013 4:30 p.m .to 7:30 p.m. Oceanside Public Library 330 North Coast Highway Oceanside, CA SCE info: www.songscommunity.com - - - Comments: Martha Sullivan https://www.facebook.com/martha.sullivan.1958: HOW can we trust SoCal Edison after all its intentional avoidance of regulatory and public scrutiny? On top of this dismal track record, there's THIS: SoCal Edison's Chief Nuclear Officer and Sr. Vice President in charge of San Onofre was site vice president of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant in Lycoming, New York before being hired by SoCal Edison in late 2010. http://www.electricenergyonline.com/?page=show_newsid=143602 Dietrich took over the FitzPatrick Plant in May 2006. http://oswegocountybusiness.com/index.php?a=1631 In Sept. 2011, the Syracuse Post-Standard reported: A series of investigations at the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant in Scriba has resulted in four workers being fired and 34 being disciplined, a spokeswoman for the plant owner said Thursday. Meanwhile, federal prosecutors announced that one of the fired workers has pleaded guilty to falsifying tests of safety equipment at the plant. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2011/09/4_fired_34_disciplined_at_jame.html . The records falsification happened on Dietrich's watch: Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Benedict said that on 32 documented occasions between 2006 and 2009, McCarrick falsely claimed he had completed such tests. Benedict said the incidents were investigated by special agents from the NRC. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2011/09/4_fired_34_disciplined_at_jame.html . Per the above news story from the Oswego County Business Magazine (http://oswegocountybusiness.com/index.php?a=1631 ), before Dietrich's tenure at the Fitzpatrick Plant, he was General Manager, Plant Operations at Pilgrim Nuclear Station, another troubled Entergy plant located in Massachusetts. He joined Entergy in 1991 at Arkansas Nuclear One in Russellville, AR, where he held positions in operations and as maintenance manager. In 2000, Dietrich became director of strategic planning for deregulation and merger activities at Entergy Corporation? s headquarters in New Orleans. Dietrich is a US Naval Academy graduate (Naval Architecture) and served 5 years in the Navy Surface Nuclear Power Program (NOT subs); has an MBA from Tulane (no doubt earned while at Entergy HQs). He looks like a fixer to me, all the plants he's run since his stint as Director of Strategic Planning for Entergy are troubled plants (FitzPatrick is rumored to be the next one Entergy closes after Kewaunee, and Pilgrim has been the object of strong opposition for decades, including most recently litigation by the MA Attorney General.) Dietrich is not a tech guy -- not a nuclear scientist nor engineer, but a business manager. ### --- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --- Unsubscribe: mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com --- Subscribe: mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com --- Digest: mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com --- Help: mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn --- Post: mailto:la...@egroups.com --- Archive1: http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn --- Archive2: http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com --- Yahoo!

[LAAMN] FWD: Stop Destruction of Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve
FWD: Stop Destruction of Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve https://www.facebook.com/StopAnnenbergdestroyingBallonaWetlands/info Stop the Annenberg Destruction of Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve About: We are committed to stopping an encroachment of these fragile lands and the public trust by the Annenberg Foundation who has sought and received a formal MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) that several state agencies signed without any public oversight. Description: We are a community of people who are committed to protecting the public trust of land that was acquired from bond money for the purpose of wildlife protection. The Annenberg Foundation has received a 50+ year lease for a PRIVATE entity to receive a gift of public funds by building on top of ecological reserve land. Roofs, parking lots, pretty gardens, a dog cat rescue facility - they all belong on land in the urban areas already built on - not on the precious 600+ acres of protected ecological reserve land. Annenberg's involvement also - IMPORTANTLY - empowers the Army Corps of Engineers and several state agencies in their plan to bulldoze the Ballona Wetlands - in a MUCH larger show of force and destruction than they did at Sepulveda Wildlife Area, Malibu Lagoon and Harbor Park. This will be the nature destruction project of the century in LA if it is allowed to proceed. Stopping it and promoting an alternative WILDLIFE FRIENDLY genuine restoration - is UP TO YOU! ### --- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --- Unsubscribe: mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com --- Subscribe: mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com --- Digest: mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com --- Help: mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn --- Post: mailto:la...@egroups.com --- Archive1: http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn --- Archive2: http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com --- Yahoo!

[LAAMN] Fwd: [occupyla] New City Council nonsense attacks non-family housing
[It just gets more and more draconian. During a time when LA's high rent costs effectively *require* that people double up, this is an end run that may prevent us from taking care of one another during a long emergency that shows no sign of letting up! Damn it to hell!--- Get out there and DO SOMETHING! CALL LA City Council and do NOT be polite! Unfortunately, the original posting on 2013-01-08 does not state when this measure is coming to a vote. ...uncledon.] Date: Tue, 08 Jan 2013 17:06:34 -0800 To: occup...@lists.riseup.net From: Michael Novick antiracistaction...@yahoo.com Subject: [occupyla] New City Council nonsense attacks non-family housing http://www.stopccfo.org/impact--overview.html Why Was CCFO Created? The Community Care Facilities Ordinance was created by former Councilman Greig Smith in order to eliminate sober living facilities in single family neighborhoods. Under Councilman Mitch Englander, the bill now attempts to eliminate nuisance properties and living arrangements that allegedly disturb the peace and safety of communities. How will CCFO address these concerns? It won't, and that's the problem. CCFO proposes to address this by amending sections of the LA City Municipal Code to: * Eliminate all formal shared housing arrangements in single-family residential communities by disallowing multiple leases in one unit. * Eliminates and/or regulates residential structures that house 3 or more persons on probation or parole. However, this provides no new enforcement mechanisms or resources to regulate disruptive behaviors that already violate existing nuisance laws. These negligent property owners have ignored the problems to-date and will continue to find loopholes around the new law (e.g. putting everyone under one lease). What will happen if CCFO passes? Picture Instead of adding to the stability of our communities, CCFO will only add more insecurity for our most vulnerable neighbors. It's bad policy. The following are examples of living arrangements that would become illegal: * Vets: 4 formerly homeless veterans sharing a home, each with a separate lease as required by the HUD-VASH voucher. * Seniors: 3 seniors who share a home to reduce housing expenses on their fixed income. * Low-Income Families: 2 families share a home, each with a verbal agreement to share expenses. * Students: 2 international or college students, each with own lease, renting from a senior home owner. * Persons w/ Disabilities: 3 people with disabilities share a home, each with own lease. If you doubt the impact, consider the following: * As many as 43,000 renters living in poverty in the City share living arrangements. * An additional 9,500 people living in poverty rent a room in a home, often from other renters. * People in poverty sharing living arrangements are already at significant risk of homelessness. The practice of doubling up would be illegal in many parts of the City, potentially leaving thousands of people no choice but the streets or shelters. - - - So, what's the alternative? Tell the City Council to VOTE NO. We need to enforce existing nuisance maximum occupancy laws and strengthen the nuisance abatement process, not create more unenforceable regulations. - - - Mailing list of Occupy LA https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/occupyla ### --- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --- Unsubscribe: mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com --- Subscribe: mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com --- Digest: mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com --- Help: mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn --- Post: mailto:la...@egroups.com --- Archive1: http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn --- Archive2: http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com --- Yahoo!

[LAAMN] UPDATE: John Johnson made it through the surgery
UPDATE: John Johnson made it through the surgery I just spoke with John's sister Linda. John made it through the operation!!! But the next 2-3 days will be critical and he'll need a lot of rest. My hope is that a friend of John (I have one in mind) can act as gatekeeper for the rest of us, bringing him messages and letting us know when he is ready for more. Step by step. I'll let everybody know who the contact person is as soon as I set that up. I was told that John's heart was so bad that they only gave him about 20% odds. And he's gotten past the first difficult part and the outlook is *much* better. Part two is rest and recuperation. Part three is community support for him after that. I am so glad that he's made it this far. He will need all his friends' support for the rest of it. ### --- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --- Unsubscribe: mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com --- Subscribe: mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com --- Digest: mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com --- Help: mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn --- Post: mailto:la...@egroups.com --- Archive1: http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn --- Archive2: http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com --- Yahoo!

[LAAMN] UPDATE: Post-Surgery Contact for John
Post-Surgery Contact for John: Marr Nealon will see that internet messsages and Postal Service mail get to John over the next several days. He needs rest and recuperation for now with *tight* limits on visitors until his doctors feel he's ready. This is a necessity in order for him to recover and he won't be able to talk with anyone or be that aware of visitors for a while. We will keep people informed of John's status as it improves. Marr Nealon https://www.facebook.com/marr.nealon mailto:m...@vegsource.com m...@vegsource.com Cards and other mail for John can be sent to Change-Links PO Box 9682 North Hollywood, CA 91609-1682 ...uncledon. a.k.a.

[LAAMN] UPDATE: John Johnson (Visit by Ross Altman my own update.)
UPDATE: John Johnson (Visit by Ross Altman my own update.) I'd add to the following that the Doctor suggested messages with John be kept brief. I also realize that, under the circumstances, all of us will make up our own minds on whether to follow that advice or not. Personally, I'm hoping that John will pull through this and his community will assist him on a road back to health. Note the number below for Valley Pres. Hopefully more people will have luck in reaching John via that number. Ask for John Johnson in ICU. I just spoke with John, both to check the above phone number (it worked this time!) and to get an update from him. He sounded upbeat considering his circumstances. John says that the TV in the room is awful and he'd *DEFINITELY* like some reading material. According to his brother-in-law, the surgery should be tomorrow (Monday) *afternoon* at 1:00 P.M. (But that can always change.) ...uncledon. P.S., I'll be sending this everywhere I send my original messages. Please send it onward to those who will want the information. And please also forgive me any duplicate postings. I'll update what I know post-John's-surgery if not before then. ...udbff. - From: Frank Dorrel fdor...@sbcglobal.net Date: Sun, 6 Jan 2013 10:06:51 -0800 Subject: [change-links] Change-Links Editor John Johnson is in ICU at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Van Nuys ~ Phone Number: 818-782-6600 ~ He is Sent from Ross Altman: greygoosemu...@aol.com Dear Progressive Friends, Our friend John Johnson, editor publisher of Change-Links former SDS organizer, is in the ICU at Valley Presbyterian Hospital, 15107 Vanowen Street, Van Nuys 91405 - Phone (818) 782-6600. He has been there since last Tuesday, ! when he came in with severe shortness of breath. They took off a substantial amount of fluid from his lungs two days ago. He has been diagnosed with a faulty heart valve and clogging of at least one and perhaps two major arteries. He is on oxygen. He is scheduled to undergo open heart surgery Monday morning at 8:30 AM to repair the valve and clear the arteries. At this point I do not know if a bypass is also called for. I saw John last night and asked him if I could share what he has been going through with the pro! gressive community and he said sure. He is able to talk and enjoyed having company. He was in good spirits, though well aware of the medical enormity of what he is facing and the risks involved. He also said that he would wake up in one of two places; in the recovery room, or in a different room--with Joe Hill and Big Bill Haywood and a number of other departed friends. So either way, he would be OK. John is in room 111 of the ICU; the hospital is located just east of Sepulveda Blvd on Van Owen. I will be visiting again tomorrow, Sunday, January 6. As you know, Change-Links did not publish a January 2013 issue, or even post the calendar on-line. In his typical discrete fashion, John's web site si! mply said he had health issues. Well, now you know what they are. I told John I would have all the atheists in town praying for him, and that got a smile out of him. Feel free to post this to your own mailing lists. And if anyone wishes to communicate with John via email please reply to this email and I will print it out and bring it over to the hospital. You may also send good wishes to his own email address: cha...@pacbell.net I checked with the nursing station before I left for hospital visiting hours in ICU. They are 24 hours with the following two exceptions: 7:00 to 7:30 AM and 7:00 to 7:30 PM, when they change shifts. Visiting is also permitted after John's surgery, limited of course by when he may be asleep in recovery.

[LAAMN] ACTION: Change Links Editor awaiting Surgery
ACTION: Change Links Editor awaiting Surgery Change Links Editor John Johnson is in LA's/Van Nuys' Valley Presbyterian Hospital. John needs a heart valve replaced and two arteries cleared. The procedures should be performed Sunday or Monday so far as I know at this point. If you wish to contact John, he feels it is best to call the hospital number (the direct number was 818.902.9575 in ICU when we last talked) because his cell phone reception is spotty within the facility. I've only spoken with him via the cell phone so far. If you have trouble reaching him via the hospital number, you might try his call phone to ask John how to get a better connection via a hospital land line (using his current room number, etc.) if you cannot otherwise reach him. He would like to talk with friends and does not have a lot to do so far since he's been in ICU without reading material or cable TV. I'd suggest that you contact him sooner rather than later if you wish to speak with him due to the uncertainty of the time of the procedures. I know that we all hope he has a speedy recovery but it would help his spirits if we told him so. I suggested that he might want to keep the number of potential callers small but he personally requested that I inform all who care about him. Put him in your thoughts or prayers and let's see that our community gives him any support pre- and post-surgery to see that he recovers well and aware of our love and respect for John and his decades long dedication to the Change Links progressive activist newspaper project in Los Angeles! I'll also forward my thoughts on the sort of tangible support John might need as more becomes known about his recovery. Act! Act in Love and Spirit! Uncle Don B.

From: Carol Jahnkow caroljahn...@gmail.com Date: Tue, Oct 23, 2012 at 8:31 AM Subject: Call on CPUC to Investigate San Onofre--NOT ONE DIME MORE! 10/25/12 CPUC Meeting! To: shutsanono...@citizensoversight.org IMPORTANT METTING OF THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION (CPUC) Thursday, October 25, 2012 -- Irvine City Council Chambers, 1 Civic Center Plaza, Irvine 92606 Public Testimony: 9 a.m. (be there by 8:30 a.m.). Press conference at 11:30 a.m. Please see below for: More info on meeting and how to participate personally or by e-mail Our core message to the CPUC (also attached) Meeting info and how to participate personally or by e-mail: The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulates the rates and reliability of electric service by SoCal Edison SDGE, majority and minority owners of Onofre Nuclear Power Plant. The CPUC rarely conducts its Voting Meetings outside of its HQs in San Francisco. It is holding its next Voting Meeting on Thursday, October 25th in the Irvine City Council Chambers, which gives those affected by the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant a tremendous opportunity to address all 5 of the Commissioners, who are appointed by the Governor. The meeting starts at 9a, but we are asking supporters of the Keep San Onofre Shut Coalition to arrive by 8:30a and take seats before the meeting starts. Seating is always at a premium at public meetings on San Onofre, so we want to be sure our Coalition is well-represented in the Council Chambers, which seats 200; the CPUC is also planning an Overflow Room with 100-seat capacity, plus loudspeakers broadcasting the Meeting outside. The CPUC's published Agenda for this meeting includes opening an Investigation into issues raised by the extended outage of San Onofre Nuclear Plant Units 2 and 3. Again, the CPUC regulates the rates and reliability of electric service by SoCal Edison SDGE, majority and minority owners of San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant -- NOT nuclear power plant safety, which is the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The CPUC's Draft Order Instituting Investigation (OII) can be viewed here: http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PublishedDocs/Published/G000/M030/K511/30511880.pdf At the beginning of each Commission Voting Meeting, people may address the Commission about items on the Agenda (except closed session matters and certain other cases). If there are a lot of speakers, each speaker will get a maximum of 1 minute to speak. However, if a group wants to select a spokesperson or two, additional time will be allotted for the spokespeople, rather than having all of the individuals speak. In addition, spokespeople can bring such things as petitions or position statements to leave with the Commissioners. We ask your cooperation in allowing a limited number of spokespeople to sign up to speak for a longer time, to amplify and elaborate on our Core Message to the CPUC and Detailed Message (see following). In addition to, or instead of, attending the Commission Meeting on Oct. 25th, you can also submit your Comment to the Commission via e-mail to the Public Advisors Office at public.advi...@cpuc.ca.gov. The Public Advisor routes comments received to the Commissioners and there is no limit on the number of pages for written comments, so people can be more detailed in their comments, rather than having to get their spoken statement down to 1 minute (for large number of speakers at CPUC Meeting). If you attend the Commission Meeting on October 25th, you can also bring 7 copies of your written statement to submit to the Commission. In prepping to attend the Commission Meeting, be mindful that Signs brought by meeting attendees are limited to 8 1/2 x 11 inches in size. Sticks or any other type of handle are strictly prohibited. We CAN have larger signs/banners or signs with handles OUTSIDE -- and we will have these for our Press Conference outside, which we will hold at 11:30am. Please plan to stay through at least our Press Conference. Core Message to the CPUC Its time to cut our losses and permanently shut down the defective San Onofre nuclear reactors. ·Edisons plan to restart (even at partial power) defective and damaged equipment is unacceptable. This is not a prudent or reasonable plan for ensuring cost effective and reliable power. ·Forcing customers to pay potentially billions of dollars for Edisons aging and crippled nuclear reactors is unacceptable. Edison and SDGE customers already have some of the highest electricity rates in California and the nation. ·The CPUC investigation should analyze costs and reliability through the current license

2012-10-20/10a-1p: Stop Foreclosure Outreach [See below for claim of collusion between LA Sherriff Dept. foreign bank in eviction against Fed Judge orders.] #FortLucero Events, Saturday 10/20/12 EAST LA OUTREACH EVENT FOR #FORTLUCERO WHEN: Saturday, 10/20/12 at 10:00AM until 1:00PM WHERE: #FortLucero 4748 Hamell St. Los Angeles CA 90022 Time to hit the streets, grassroots style! Let's knock on some doors, flash our beautiful smiles, and start a conversation with the community of East Los Angeles! The plan: meet at Fort Lucero @ 10:00am, coffee will be piping hot. From 10-10:30, we will have a few words from community members on the considerations of coming into an urban, diverse setting, and the ways in which we can communicate respect and deference. From there, we will split up the area and hit the pavement. Those who speak Spanish, on any level, especially encouraged to come and bring their skills. If you don't speak Spanish, please don't let that keep you from participating, there will likely be someone fluent in each group-cluster. If you arrive late, I will be leaving my phone number on the white board right outside the door; please call so you can find out where we're at and meet up! !Viva la revolucion, Viva Fort Lucero! ***Page for Fort Lucero: http://www.facebook.com/FortLucero - - - #FortLucero 19 October, 2012 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact Name: Carlos Perez Tel: 714.329.2262 Email: juan_carlos_perez...@hotmail.com DOCUMENTS PROVE COLLUSION BETWEEN LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF DEPT AND FOREIGN DEUTSCHEBANK TO EVICT AMERICAN FAMILY AGAINST FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERS. #FORTLUCERO AND OCCUPY FIGHTS FORECLOSURES DEMAND INVESTIGATION INTO CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD LATINO-AMERICAN HOMEOWNERS Federal Court Documents, Filed and Stamped by Sheriff's Department Demonstrate LA County Sheriffs, Carrington, Deutschebank Knew Family Could Not Legally Be Evicted; Carried Out Anyway. On September 14, 2012 Margarita Lucero entered into the LA County Sheriff's Department record of a United States Bankruptcy Court Los Angeles Division ruling, titled ORDER CONTINUING HEARING OF BANKUNITED, N.A.'S MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM AUTOMATIC STAY (Also attached, see SMOKINGGUN). This ruling, in title and substance, upheld the stay of eviction in place for the Lucero home (heretofore known as #FortLucero) at 4748 Hammel St., Los Angeles CA 90022. This ruling continued the case until October 2, 2012, at which time the judge issued a judgment extending the stay of eviction until Nov. 30, 2012 (Also attached, see NOVEMBER). Instead of honoring this higher court ruling, the LA County Sheriff's department (ostensibly yielding to the requests of Deutschebank lawyer Marc J. Schwartz, Esq. State Bar #185346, who knew his requests violated the law) chose to ignore the higher court and instead honor a lower court ruling from the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles issued on September 26, 2012 to evict the Lucero family on September 27, 2012. This is, by nature, unlawful, but this lower court ruling also specifically states that NO LOCKOUT IS AUTHORIZED PRIOR TO OCTOBER 26, 2012 (Also attached, see SHAMEXCUSE). After the family was locked out of the home (unlawful eviction completed), Carrington agent Luis Garza then gave the family a key to the new lock and return to the home. On October 15, 2012, Garza then filed a false report with the sheriff's department that the family had broken back into the home. Sheriffs were prepared to act on his word without question until activists intervened. Because the prior illegal eviction has been executed, and Garza voluntarily gave access to #FortLucero to the family after the lockout was complete, the sheriffs no longer have jurisdiction to trespass on the property (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embeddedv=U0qjEz5Sn_E). Occupy Fights Foreclosures, a subcommittee of Occupy Los Angeles, the Home Defenders' Alliance, and Occupy Whittier (together with the Lucero family known as #FortLucero) will stand beside the Lucero family until the injustice of this case is rectified and a full investigation of these corrupt practices has been conducted. We see in this case a striking example of the flagrancy with which the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, tasked with protecting and serving the citizens of Los Angeles County, will conspire with international banks and violate American courts to evict American citizens, all while blaming homeowners' race, language, education and socioeconomic statuses to claim non-existent and provable procedural violations. #FortLucero demands a full investigation into this collusive and corrupt relationship and demands justice, not only for the Lucero family but all American families being defrauded by this and other international unions between public servants and private international financiers.

2012-10-25/830a: Keep San Onofre Shut action at CA PUC Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:09:48 -0700 From: Carol Jahnkow caroljahn...@gmail.com To: shutsanono...@citizensoversight.org Subject: [SDCPJ] Tell the California PUC: Not one more dime for Edison's mistakes! The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) rarely conducts its Voting Meetings outside of its HQs in San Francisco. It is holding its next Voting Meeting on Thursday, October 25th in the Irvine City Council Chambers, which gives those affected by the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant a tremendous opportunity to address all of the Commissioners. Thursday, October 25, Irvine City Council Chambers, 1 Civic Center Plaza, Irvine, CA 92606. 8:30 a.m.! The meeting starts at 9a, but we are asking supporters of the Keep San Onofre Shut Coalition to arrive by 8:30a, check in by 8:45a to speak during the Public Comment period at the start of the meeting (if desired), and take seats before the meeting starts. Seating is always at a premium at public meetings on San Onofre, so we want to be sure our Coalition is well-represented in the Council Chambers. The CPUC's published Agenda for this meeting includes opening an Investigation into issues raised by the extended outage of San Onofre Nuclear Plant Units 2 and 3. The CPUC regulates the rates and reliability of electric service by SoCal Edison SDGE, majority and minority owners of San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant. Please attend to show support for a CPUC investigation into the financial aspects concerning the future of San Onofre, for ratepayer protection from unwarranted expenses and a clear choice about investing in truly clean, safe and sustainable alternatives. THE RATEPAYERS HAVE HAD ENOUGH. WE DON'T WANT TO WASTE ANOTHER PENNY ON EDISON'S MISTAKES. We will have more information in the coming days on our Coalition's Core Message for this meeting, as well as other topics. In the meantime, the following is background information on the CPUC and its rules/processes for Public Participation. 1.

[LAAMN] San Onofre NPP to Restart within Ten days?
San Onofre NPP to Restart within Ten days? [The following is unverified.] [via Facebook on Topanga Peace Alliance page https://www.facebook.com/groups/53323228710/:] Myla Reson ACTION ALERT! San Onofre Nuke Plant could Re-Start Within 10 Days! From a whistle-blower at San Onofre nuclear plant in Southern California: We are working on Unit 2, bringing it up from Mode 5 to 4 and are preparing to go from Mode 4 to 3 by the weekend of October 20th. Southern California Edison (SCE) brought in the auxiliary boiler (which runs off of oil), and assigned 12 hour shifts. SCE are making damn sure that no steam leaves the domes for fear the public will catch on. I cant believe how audacious they are, but for all practical purposes, they are going to restart Unit 2which still is highly radioactivewithout the NRC thoroughly reviewing Edisons application that was just submitted. Their motivation is to see if they fixed the new reactor head which leaked profusely the first time they tried it. They dont want anything holding them back from actually restarting when they get the green light from the NRC. The NRCs Confirmatory Action Letter allows them to take it up to Mode 3 because the reactor is not critical, (fission reaction is on hold). They are trying to beat the clock before time runs out on them and the CPUC (California Public Utility Commission) sticks Edison with the cost of the outage instead of the ratepayers.

[LAAMN] Fwd: ACTION: Help Stop Foreclosure on La Familia Hernandez
Fwd: ACTION: Help Stop Foreclosure on La Familia Hernandez Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:58:42 -0700 From: Bilal Ali mafundi...@gmail.com To: May 19th Movement may19thmovem...@lists.riseup.net Subject: [May 19th Movement] Call to Action from La Familia Hernandez Call to Action from La Familia Hernandez Today is October 14, 2012. For our family this is day 50 since we elected to use our protected rights of freedom of speech to protest the fraudulent banking processes that led to our home being illegally foreclosed upon. Even with limited options, we refused to submit to something we knew was morally wrong and began to organize our family, friends and anyone willing and able to help. Our family started to find ways to educate our community; not just about our unjust situation but the larger systems playing into it and a barricade was built in front of our home as an artistic display of resistance. Our battle with the bank however extends past just these 50 days to five years ago when the bank adjusted our monthly payment rates from 3,900 to 4,500. Even with various members of our family contributing to the payments, the dramatic and sudden increase made it impossible to add into our budgets. When we called to ask for assistance, we were informed by Bank of America that the only people that were receiving assistance with their loans were homeowners who were behind on payments. We were painted into a corner where if we sought assistance- our only option was to allow ourselves to purposely fall behind on payments. During our five years of negotiations, we applied for four modifications and had all of them denied based on reasons that we knew were illegitimate. Also within the last five years, we have seen the bank implement specific practices to gain ammunition to slander our name and delegitimize our ownership of our home. For example; during this 5year period of negotiations, every time our family wanted to make payments towards the loan, the bank refused to take them. The bank later used this lack of payments to justify the auction of our home from underneath us. While not taking payment may seem very strange, we later learned that this is a very common practice that many banks use during foreclosure processes. We also learned that there have been various fraudulent affidavits associated with the rejection of our loan modification paperwork. To put it bluntly, the bank wants us to lose our home because the profit they stand to make from collecting the insurance they leveraged against us is more than the payments we would be making. Again- both of these are common practices that banks even now are continuing to use with countless families across our country. After our latest modification request was denied; the eviction notice was immediate despite the fact that our family submitted a QWR (Qualified Written Request) for proof of a written title that is still being investigated. No family should ever have to lose their home because of the immoral and dishonest bank practices that our government continues to allow. This action has always been about educating each other. About empowering each other to stand up and knowing that we will have a community to stand with us. Despite what you think or how you have been told to feel- you can do something. We are peaceful, we are non-violent but we refuse to go down quietly. It is becoming increasingly necessary to build a culture of resistance. An organized community is a force to be reckoned with and that is why our family is being criminalized. This is the first home that our family has been able to own. Like many others, our parents came here as immigrants from Mexico, for the opportunity for advancement, stability, honest work and greater accessibility to education for us, their children. With our parents only being able to get minimum wage jobs, renting was the only option for housing that our family had. The rent we paid was often too much for what we had and despite how long we had been living in a place, it never really felt like ours. Our family worked hard for what we had and we were patient to get the things we felt were important. When we were finally able to afford to buy our own home, we saw it as the culmination of the decades of rent we had been contributing to other property owners. The media, the banks, and the corrupt politicians want the public to judge us and forget that our story is not an uncommon story. Stand with us today, and the millions of families that continue to be affected by this crisis, so that we can stand with you tomorrow. Please come and see for yourself that first and foremost we are a family trying to keep our home. Speak to our elders and understand our history. See our children and think about how this situation will affect them most of all even though they have little power to change or really understand the circumstances. How are we suppose to explain to

FWD: ACTION: Protest SM Candidate Forum Exclusions From: Jerry Rubin jerrypeaceactivistru...@earthlink.net Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2012 23:16:17 -0700 Subject: [LAAMN] SQUIRM NIGHT CANDIDATE FORUM MAKING SANTA MONICA SQUIRM FOR MORE INCLUSIVENESS * PLEASE contact the S.M. Daily Press editor and tell him to NOT EXCLUDE any City Council candidate: Call: 310-458-7737 Email: edi...@smdp.com SQUIRM NIGHT CANDIDATE FORUM MAKING SANTA MONICA SQUIRM FOR MORE INCLUSIVENESS The Santa Monica Daily Press has chosen to exclude 6 candidates out of the 15 officially qualified ballot candidates for Santa Monica City Council at their annual Squirm Night Candidate Forum, held October 15 at the Santa Monica Main Public Library in the Martin Luther King Auditorium. To a great many people in Santa Monica, the Daily Press decision to weed out and exclude candidates is distressing and un-Santa Monica. There are good reasons for people to be upset. 1. The candidates all are qualified, and each had gathered the 100 necessary Santa Monica registered voter signatures to become qualified. Recently, the City Council publicly debated whether Santa Monica Municipal Election candidates should be asked to pay a filing fee and collect twice the amount of signatures, but the Council voted against changing the criteria, wanting to keep it open for residents to have access to participate in seeking office and furthering their civic involvement. 2. The co- sponsoring neighborhood groups were not consulted about the Daily Press last minute decision or their criteria for candidate exclusion. The Daily Press has defensively tried to justify their actions, but the fact remains that the rules should have been made clear at the forum event planning stages, not one week before the event is happening. The sponsoring groups are upset and rightfully so. 3. The decision to exclude certain candidates puts pressure on their fellow candidates who were not excluded. But, many of the other candidates did send letters to the Daily Press publisher Ross Furukawa and editor Kevin Herrera, urging them to reconsider and keep the candidate forum inclusive to all 15 City Council candidates. 4. The Daily Press has in effect said by their exclusionary action: These excluded candidates are not really worthy of your vote. Rather than letting the voters decide on November 6 who is worthy of their vote, the Daily Press has already to a large degree made it for them. They made the playing field uneven. The Daily Press has in the past made their endorsements publicly, and I expect they will again for this election. That is fair, and so have all the Daily Press candidate forums in the past been fair and inclusive. The Santa Monica Mirror recently hosted their Hometown Forum, which included all 15 Council candidates. That forum was informative, well organized, and served the community in a fully inclusive responsible manner. 5. The City of Santa Monica advertises exclusively in the Santa Monica Daily Press. As the City's only daily news print publication, they have gotten all of the City's advertising. The Daily Press has a responsibility to the community. Their non-inclusiveness and inflexibility to reconsider their decision regarding Squirm Night does not serve Santa Monica in the open, fair, and inclusive manner such a candidate forum deserves. This is not about the Daily Press first amendment right to host the forum any darn way they please. It is about their responsibility to the sponsoring groups. It is about their responsibility to all the candidates. It is about their responsibility to the community.

ACTION: NO San Onofre Start Up!- Contact NRC Commissioners Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:27:36 -0700 From: Carol Jahnkow caroljahn...@gmail.com To: shutsanono...@citizensoversight.org Subject: [SDCPJ] ACT NOW! Contact all Five of the Nuclear Regulatory Commissioners re: NO San Onofre Start Up! Thank you to all of you who attended last night's Nuclear Regulatory Commission meeting in Dana Point and who have responded to our other action alerts. Now we need to take the next step! The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is headed by five Commissioners appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate for five-year terms. One of them is designated by the President to be the Chairman and official spokesperson of the Commission. Find out more about the Commissioners:http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/organization/commfuncdesc.html Please help us NOW as we take our Core Message to all five Commissioners, based on NRC Regional Administrator Elmo Collins' statement in the NRC Public Mtg last night that the requests for an adjudicated evidentiary hearing from panel and audience members were heard loud and clear. And that, while by policy, the NRC does not have such a hearing requirement in place, a decision on if and when such a hearing will happen is up to the five-member NRC board. Please contact all five of the commissioners listed below with this Core Message: We oppose Edison's proposed re-start of the defective Unit 2 at San Onofre and demand a full, transparent Adjudicatory Hearing and License Amendment process, including evidentiary hearings with sworn testimony and cross-examination which include experts independent of the NRC, Edison and the nuclear power industry. This public meeting is NOT a proxy nor a substitute for this process. Given how we got to this point and the serious loss of faith by the public in the NRC and Edison as a result, we can see no reason why all five NRC commissioners would not want this as well. And, for maximum transparency and public engagement, we want this Adjudicatory Hearing to be held IN Southern California, at a venue that is fully accessible to the public, with ample, free parking and public transit service. NOT at a posh, private resort that limited access by the media and the public at the NRC's public meeting at the St. Regis Monarch Bay Resort in Dana Point on October 9, 2012, for which $24,000 was outrageously paid.

FWD: Upcoming Anaheim Candidate Forum Implodes! http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/2012/10/upcoming_anaheim_city_council.php Upcoming Anaheim City Council Candidate Forum at Ember Cafe Implodes! By Gabriel San Roman Thu., Oct. 4 2012 at 12:11 PM [...] Oh, how the developer class has such trouble with the simple things of democracy like candidate forums. Anaheimers take note! - - - [more via Facebook: The Green Party of Orange County: Duane Roberts, https://www.facebook.com/groups/2245541603/:] Oct. 10th Candidates Forum Cancelled Because Anaheim City Council Candidate Asked League of Women Voters to Withdraw Sponsorship For Immediate Release Contact: Duane Roberts Cellphone: (714) 273-8394 Email: duaneroberts92...@yahoo.com ANAHEIM, CA The Oct. 10th candidates forum scheduled to take place at the Ember Cafe and Music Club in downtown Anaheim, an event being organized by Kacey Taormina Elkins, the daughter of real estate tycoon Bill Taormina, was cancelled because Duane Roberts, an Anaheim City Council candidate, asked the League of Women Voters of Central Orange County to withdraw sponsorship of it. Roberts, who himself planned to boycott the Oct. 10th forum, submitted to the League evidence demonstrating that Elkins, a key organizer of it, not only had numerous conflicts of interest that called into question her ability to be fair and impartial to candidates that participated, but that she fully controlled the means by which questions were to be gathered and disseminated to candidates. Quote: On the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 3rd, I contacted the League of Women Voters of Central Orange County to formally ask they withdraw their sponsorship of an Oct. 10th forum scheduled to take place at the Ember Cafe and Music Club in downtown Anaheim, an event being organized by Kacey Taromina Elkins, the daughter of real estate tycoon Bill Taormina. I submitted to them numerous pieces of evidence demonstrating that Elkins, a key organizer of the Oct. 10th forum, not only had numerous conflicts of interest that called into question her ability to be fair and impartial to candidates who participated, but that she fully controlled the means by which questions were to be gathered and disseminated to candidates. In my opinion, this forum was a complete sham orchestrated with the underlying intent of boosting the political fortunes of Jordan Brandman and Steve Lodge, candidates favored by Elkins and her wealthy father. I warned the League that participation in this forum would seriously damage their integrity and reputation among thousands of voters throughout Anaheim. I have since been notified by the League that they contacted Bill Taormina in regards to the matters I addressed in my email communications with them and that he subsequently decided to cancel the Oct. 10th forum. Had the forum not been scrapped, I would have organized a mass picket line outside of the Ember Cafe that evening to protest Elkins unethical behavior.

This will be the first time that local concerned citizens, the NRC and Southern California Edison will take part together in a roundable discussion about San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) issues. They will also be joined at the discussion table by representatives from the California Energy Commission, the Coastal Commission and the California Public Utilities Commission. This historic meeting will have two parts. The first part will be a roundtable discussion about SONGS steam generator problems. Part two will be a general discussion about procedures of the NRC and their effectiveness. The NRC has promised community organizers that questions from the public will be taken throughout the meeting. Generators 2 and 3 have been shut down since late January for safety issues. We welcome this opportunity to sit down with the NRC, Southern Calfiornia Edison and other interested parties, said Gene Stone, a resident of San Clemente and head of Residents Organized for a Safe Environment.

Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 04:49:39 -0400 (EDT) From: Susie Shannon su...@panix.com To: su...@panix.com Subject: Call Gov. Brown re: Domestic Workers Bill of Rights Dear Friends and Colleagues, This message is from Bend the Arc: It is vital that you call Governor Brown and make your voice heard in support of the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. The deadline for his signature to make this bill into law is just around the corner on September 30. Bend the Arc and our coalition partners are making calls to the Governor's office so he hears a continuous stream of supportive voices from his constituents, meaning all of us! Please take this small step and make a great impact . call the Governor.s office and to urge him to sign AB899 so domestic workers have the same respect and rights we all deserve. (See sample script below.) Make a call to Governor (D-California) Edmund 'Jerry' G. Brown Jr.'s Office Phone: (916) 445-2841 Sample Script My name is ___ and I am a member of Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice. I am calling today to urge Governor Brown to pass AB 889, the California Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. Over 200,000 domestic workers in California are excluded from the basic labor rights and protections that all other workers enjoy. Domestic workers take care of what we value most, our loved ones and homes. It is because of the labor of domestic workers that all other work is possible. The Governor has the opportunity to end the exclusion of domestic workers and to right this historic wrong. I hope he will support AB 889. ### --- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --- Unsubscribe: mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com --- Subscribe: mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com --- Digest: mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com --- Help: mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn --- Post: mailto:la...@egroups.com --- Archive1: http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn --- Archive2: http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com --- Yahoo!

[LAAMN] Fwd: Warning - Deceptive Anti-Labor Ballot Initiative In California (Prop 32)
From: Gary gary10...@yahoo.com Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 14:02:20 - Subject: [change-links] Warning - Deceptive Anti-Labor Ballot Initiative In California (Prop 32) California Warning - Deceptive Anti-Labor Ballot Initiative In California (Prop 32) In California there is a dangerous, deceptive proposition on the ballot that promises to get special interest money out of our elections, and is being sold as a way to stop the flood of corporate money. But actually this proposition doesn't stop corporate money at all -- it only stops political activity by unions. If it passes this means that from now on only corporate money will fund California's elections. Here is how Prop 32 is being sold to the public: Politicians take millions in campaign contributions from corporations and government unions and then vote the way those special interests tell them. Here is the trick: it bans use of money collected from the paychecks of union members. read MORE: http://www.ourfuture.org/blog-entry/2012093924/warning-deceptive-anti-labor-ballot-initiative-california-prop-32 VOTE NO ON PROP. 32 - - - Change Links Progressive Newspaper.

CALENDAR: 2012-08-30..09-20: TPA Opt Out Actions https://www.facebook.com/events/352168554862779/ TPA HS Opt Out Drive 2012 Event for Topanga Peace Alliance · By Julie Levine Thursday, August 30, 2012 2:00pm Assorted High Schools - See Schools Above - Carpool from Pine Tree 2 pm Topanga Peace Alliance High School Military Opt-Out Drive -- In August and September, members of the Topanga Peace Alliance (TPA) will be distributing military opt-out forms to seven high schools in the area. Under the No Child Left Behind federal legislation schools are required to share 11th and 12th grade students' personal information with the military for recruitment purposes UNLESS parents and students sign an opt-out form. While leafleting and talking with students last year, we found that many of them were unaware that the military would have access to their personal information or that they could opt-out. While these forms help keep their information away from the military, there is another way the government is working on recruiting children. TPA has become aware of a military database called JAMRS. The acronym stands for the Joint Advertising Market Research Studies and is funded by the Department of Defense. It maintains data on 30 million Americans between the ages of 16 and 25 that includes information such as your name, date of birth, gender, mailing address, email address, race and ethnicity, telephone number, name of high school, graduation date, grade point average (GPA), college intent, military interest, field of study, and the ASVAB Test score. Opt-out forms for this highly intrusive data base are not currently supplied to students, and are not available in southern California schools. TPA is coordinating an effort with LAUSD to add JAMRS opt-out forms to the student packets that go home at the beginning of the school year. If anyone is interested in helping with our efforts please call Julie Levine at 310.455.9389 . TPA Opt-Out Drive 2012 You can meet us at the school at least 10 minutes before the bell or carpool with us.

[LAAMN] UPDATE: State House Poised to Repeal CA's Environmental Law (CEQA) (GOOD NEWS!)
UPDATE: State House Poised to Repeal CA's Environmental Law (CEQA) (GOOD NEWS!) From: LA Neighbors United i...@laneighbors.org Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2012 12:48:18 -0700 Subject: Update on CEQA Alert from Wednesday Night August 24, 2012 California Senate Leader Sets So-Called CEQA Reform Bill Aside Darrell Steinberg, leader of the California State Senate, yesterday announced that the last-minute bill intended to reform CEQA (SB 317) will not move forward this legislative session. CEQA is the California Environmental Quality Act. Steinbergs action comes after environmental leaders took a good look at the legislation and identified just how sweeping the bill was, including some of its significant consequences. If you responded to our Action ALERT (LA Neighbors United Newsletter, August 22, 2012), thank you. The collective effort culminated with good effect. LA Neighbors United supports constructive CEQA reform, including a reasonable tiering system for environmental review, and additional changes to clarify that CEQA cannot be used to stop by-right development. LA Neighbors United reiterates its support for: Updating the citys General Plan framework Updating Community Plans on a regular schedule, recognizing that some Community Plans may require only slight modifications Updating the citys zoning code in a comprehensive manner A system of transferable development rights that allows capacity to be moved around within Community Plan areas, particularly if the system allows small property owners to participate, and encourages conservation easements to preserve quality older buildings in established neighborhoods and create parks in underserved areas A modern city cannot operate with 25-year-old plans any more than it can attract private investment with broken down public infrastructure, says LA Neighbors United Founder Cary Brazeman. Reasonable people can disagree about what should be in plans, but at the end of the day plans need to be maintained in order to ensure the integrity and dynamism of Los Angeles.

[LAAMN] ALERT: State House Poised to Repeal CA's Environmental Law (CEQA)
From: LA Neighbors United i...@laneighbors.org Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:35:20 -0700 Subject: ALERT: State House Poised to Repeal CEQA August 22, 2012 Not Just Reforming CEQA but Repealing It: California State Leaders Prepare for Last-Minute Votes Environmental leaders across the state were shocked this afternoon to learn that a last-minute bill supposedly intended to reform CEQA would essentially repeal California's landmark environmental law, the California Environmental Quality Act. The Assembly could vote on the bill as early as tonight, followed by the State Senate. It was expected that the bill would streamline CEQA review and perhaps narrow the circumstances under which legal action could be taken, but the actual bill goes much further and essentially repeals CEQA. In Los Angeles, as an example, environmental impact reports under CEQA no longer would be necessary for community plan updates, nonconforming development projects or transit projects including rail lines. Local agencies would merely have to explain whether any OTHER laws (local, state or federal) apply to proposed projects, and assert that proposed projects are consistent with other approved plans, programs and laws, such as California's Sustainable Communities Strategy or the state's greenhouse gas law. In other words: No longer would any serious state environmental review be required under CEQA; No longer would mitigation of substantial negative impacts be required; and No longer would legal action against local agencies be permitted. CEQA would exist in name only. In another example, which is extreme but illustrative, CEQA standards as they are known today no longer would apply in the case of a nuclear power plant. Other applicable state and federal laws would remain, but not CEQA. The proposed legislation makes no distinction between an infill development project in an urbanized area and a nuclear power plant. CEQA would be gutted for all project types across the board. The California we've known and loved is going to take a big hit if this legislation passes, says Cary Brazeman, founder of LA Neighbors United, a Los Angeles community group. Environmental social justice will be set back. The community will be shut out of the process of evaluating the impacts of project planning decisions. This legislation is for the 1%, not the 99% of Californians who call our great state home. The full text of the proposed legislation, SB 317, is posted on the LA Neighbors United website [http://www.laneighbors.org/] under Latest News. (see pages 9-10 of the PDF) At this hour (early evening on Wednesday), state environmental leaders are urging citizens to contact members of the State Senate. The House is perceived to be more likely to approve the legislation. There is hope that the State Senate will see this legislation for what it is and deny it. Please forward this email to friends and neighbors across the state. Thank you.

CALENDAR: 2012-08-30..09-20: TPA Opt Out Actions https://www.facebook.com/events/352168554862779/ TPA HS Opt Out Drive 2012 Event for Topanga Peace Alliance · By Julie Levine Thursday, August 30, 2012 2:00pm Assorted High Schools - See Schools Above - Carpool from Pine Tree 2 pm Topanga Peace Alliance High School Military Opt-Out Drive -- In August and September, members of the Topanga Peace Alliance (TPA) will be distributing military opt-out forms to seven high schools in the area. Under the No Child Left Behind federal legislation schools are required to share 11th and 12th grade students' personal information with the military for recruitment purposes UNLESS parents and students sign an opt-out form. While leafleting and talking with students last year, we found that many of them were unaware that the military would have access to their personal information or that they could opt-out. While these forms help keep their information away from the military, there is another way the government is working on recruiting children. TPA has become aware of a military database called JAMRS. The acronym stands for the Joint Advertising Market Research Studies and is funded by the Department of Defense. It maintains data on 30 million Americans between the ages of 16 and 25 that includes information such as your name, date of birth, gender, mailing address, email address, race and ethnicity, telephone number, name of high school, graduation date, grade point average (GPA), college intent, military interest, field of study, and the ASVAB Test score. Opt-out forms for this highly intrusive data base are not currently supplied to students, and are not available in southern California schools. TPA is coordinating an effort with LAUSD to add JAMRS opt-out forms to the student packets that go home at the beginning of the school year. If anyone is interested in helping with our efforts please call Julie Levine at 310.455.9389 . TPA Opt-Out Drive 2012 You can meet us at the school at least 10 minutes before the bell or carpool with us.

Participants will show support for Anaheim residents on their quest for oversight and transparency over the recent violence and riots in the City.

[LAAMN] Fwd: LA SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS CRISIS: --DISTRIBUTE WIDELY
Fwd: LA SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS CRISIS: --DISTRIBUTE WIDELY Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2012 03:42:31 -0700 (PDT) From: neil chertcoff neil1...@sbcglobal.net Subject: [May 19th Movement] Fw: SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS CRISIS: --DISTRIBUTE WIDELY Please study and spread /debate info here!! Good luck! From: fmartin6 fmart...@yahoo.com Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2012 12:21 AM SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS CRISIS: DISTRIBUTE WIDELY Hello everyone, The recent changes disallowing classroom teachers the freedom to request their substitute is upsetting and has worried many senior career Substitute Teachers. However, latest information indicates that there is more to it and subs will be the biggest losers when these changes begin to be executed the first day of school. In a meeting with Substitute Teachers UTLA president indicated that RIF and displaced contract teachers will have priority in daily substitute assignments and only after these two groups have been assigned jobs, then senior career Substitute Teachers will be given the rest of the jobs if any are available. With regard to requesting specific subs by teachers, Mr. Fletcher indicated that this practice will still be in place but only after all displaced teachers have been assigned a day of work. Since Displaced and RIF teachers quantify a numerous amount, there is no guarantee that career substitute teachers will get enough days of work and, as a result, they will never qualify for health benefits. This means that the jobs and the well being of thousands of fellow subs will be on the line. Unfortunately, our Union leadership has not shown any will to fight back by calling for job actions or by taking a firm stand to defend every dues payer in this union. Instead, our union leaders are promoting the illusion that once RIF teachers are placed back in their teaching assignments, and if Governor Brownâs Tax Prop,. passes, things will level out and Subs will be called again and resume their substitute activities. However, it is our knowledge that there have been previous waves of RIF/Displaced teachers and up until now, not all of then have been rehired back again as regular teachers. In consequence, Displaced teachers will be acting as Pool Subs and as regular day to day Substitute Teachers in their own and other schools. By default, they will absorb the majority of substitute jobs available throughout the District. On a document dated 08/08/2012, The union states the following âDisplaced teachers in the contract pool will serve as substitutes of âfirst calledâ priority status. The district has informed us(UTLA) that displaced teachers will receive a telephone call each morning and told where to report for substitute service. If not called that day the teacher will have been told, or will already have a pre-designated reporting site.â This directly implies that the number of substitute displaced teachers in the sub unit will be larger than the number needed every day. Also, since the number of displaced teachers is tremendously large, it might take a year or more before all these teachers are placed back in any contract teaching assignments. This in turn, will make it hard for Substitute teachers to regain their previous calling status. We have to emphasize that there are still some teachers from last year who need to be assigned in permanent positions. Since many of us depend on our Substitute teaching job as the primary source of income to support our families, a expected long process of reassigning teachers, might not fit well with many of us in the substitute unit. How long can a person remain unemployed in this time of economic crisis? Since, unemployment continues to rise in the State, California Govt. officially admits to a 10.7 % unemployed status, and only surpassed by Rhoda Island with 10.9% and Nevada with 11.6%. What can be out there available for many of us that already past age forty? In that case, would it be wise to remain silent wile our jobs evaporate and we become part of the 10.7% unemployed in California? So what is in the horizon for us? What assurance do we have that we will ever again get a job as a substitute teacher in California? Reality indicates that we might never regain our full employment again. Obviously, if you read UTLA latest document, (08/08/2012) everything seems to be a one side mandate from the District. What roll did UTLA played in all these things? We believe that it is our duty and responsibility to fight back and demand that classroom teachers exercise their own freedom to request their own substitute teachers. In that case, we need to demand that teachers exercise that right regardless of what the District and UTLA want to implement. These are times to come together as rank and file members. As the leadership of UTLA betrayed us now by not implementing a plan of action to defend

Please see alert notice below. // We need to make as many calls and e-mails in the next 24-48 hours as possible. // Please take a moment to help. If you can also send a notification to me or the contact below so we can keep track of our numbers it would be very appreciated. // Thanks, / Mark - - - Yolanda, a very-low-income tenant in Playa Vista, could have her rent more than doubled even though she's done nothing wrong and the landlord admits it! Yolanda's home of 7 years is one of a few apartments reserved for very-low income residents, but the landlord now wants to move the apartment out of the very-low income program, and more than double the rent. According to the city of LA, this is all perfectly legal. It's also dead wrong! It can take years to find housing that's affordable to very-low income people in LA, but the landlords won't give Yolanda more than a few weeks to find a new home â even though there is no reason to kick her out! Now weâre fighting back! This issue could be easily solved, but the landlord won't even meet for 30 minutes to discuss the case, despite multiple requests for a meeting from Councilman Bill Rosendahl's office! WE NEED YOUR HELP! Call Property Manager LORI PRIEM of Legacy Partners Dial 949-930-6600. Dial 1#, and then press 7743. Or email her at lpr...@legacypartners.com You can say, Hi, my name is __, and I'm calling to support Yolanda. You need to meet with us to find a humane solution, instead of throwing innocent people onto the street. ***Let us know how it went. Contact Bill at (310) 439-8564 or b...@power-la.org P.S. as poverty is a very sensitive, personal issue, Yolanda has asked that we keep her last name confidential. http://marklipman.blogspot.com http://www.casadepoesia.com/ http://poetsagainstwar.blogspot.com ### --- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --- Unsubscribe: mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com --- Subscribe: mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com --- Digest: mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com --- Help: mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn --- Post: mailto:la...@egroups.com --- Archive1: http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn --- Archive2: http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com --- Yahoo!

BREAKING: ANSWER LA office ransacked robbed after Anaheim protest Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2012 19:24:12 -0500 (CDT) From: ANSWER Coalition i...@answercoalition.org Subject: BREAKING: ANSWER Los Angeles office ransacked robbed following Anaheim protest The following is an announcement from the Los Angeles branch of the ANSWER Coalition, which has been deeply engaged in the struggle in Anaheim against the outrageous police attacks. Please help them through this difficult time by making an urgently-needed donation: http://www2.answercoalition.org/site/R?i=6jby8sT4IeqyfsCwEPTRPw ANSWER LA OFFICE RANSACKED AND ROBBED Attack comes hours office deluged with racist hate calls over Anaheim police protests Your help needed! Attackers trashed storage room looking for all sound equipment and bullhorns. Dear friends and supporters, On Monday, the ANSWER Coalition was highlighted in the mass media for our role supporting the protests in response to the outrageous police attack in Anaheim. ANSWER placards and signs were highly visible in media photos and video. ANSWER volunteers were interviewed by mainstream media outlets. That night, the ANSWER office in Los Angeles was broken into, ransacked and robbed. All of our computers, ten total, were stolen, in addition to all of our sound equipment and our bullhorns - the things essential to organizing and conducting protest actions. We had many other losses too and our files were ransacked. Please click here to make an urgently needed donation to help us recover from this attack: http://www2.answercoalition.org/site/R?i=vkAlCVZyyj96FyLHza0FdA At this point, we cannot say with certainty the nature of this attack-but we believe the events leading up to it are noteworthy. After being in the national spotlight the ANSWER Coalition office was deluged with racist hate calls supporting the Anaheim police, who killed two unarmed men in 24 hours and inflicted so much brutality against the community. At the same time, right-wing websites began an internet-based attack campaign against the ANSWER Coalition labeling us outside agitators. Hours later the office was broken into and ransacked. And we know that the United States-and southern California in particular-has a long history of police attacks on the offices progressive organizations, with the intent of disrupting or sabotaging their organizing efforts during key political crises. Despite this attack, we are not deterred. We still managed to mobilize for the mass action at the Anaheim City Council meeting, and will be marching in Downey this Saturday against the police murder of Mike Nida. However, our work has been severely disrupted. We are asking for your help to so that we can replace our equipment and rebuild our office. Please help us so that we can continue mobilizing actions against police brutality, the war in Afghanistan, budget cuts, and as we work to build a movement for justice and equality. Please click here to make an urgently needed donation: http://www2.answercoalition.org/site/R?i=bSdmNmm5kIjSshkhYOGF5A Your solidarity and support through this attack is critical to continuing our work, and is very much appreciated.

[LAAMN] FWD: Diablo Canyon Relicensing Requires Seismic Blasts That Will Injure Whales Other Sea Creatures
FWD: Diablo Canyon Relicensing Requires Seismic Blasts That Will Injure Whales Other Sea Creatures [It looks like at least some of those sonic blasts might be linked to relicensing CA's *other* NPP--- the one not yet in (public) trouble.] From: Joey Racano joeylittlesh...@yahoo.com List-Id: SaveLosOsos.yahoogroups.com Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:36:02 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [SaveLosOsos] Seismic testing/State Marine Reserve Special Report [1 Attachment] Seismic testing/State Marine Reserve Special Report The Secretary of Resources of the State of California (John Laird) was very kind and allowed me a meeting with top people from state government. As an activist, I feel very blessed to be involved with the Marine Life Protection Act (which created a series of marine protected areas up and down our coast). You see, nobody's ever done this before, nothing like this has ever been tried. So nobody can look down their nose at you and tell you you're doing it wrong. Or right. What we're doing is being done for the very first time, and all that old stuff, the old ways of doing things- well, it just didn't work. So now it's OUR turn to try! And like I've been saying, the very first two State Marine Reserves are already under viscious attack! The drive to Sacramento was well worth it! So far, it comes down to this: PGE aren't just planning to do the seismic testing on their own; they have been mandated to do it by the legislature in order to get their re-lisencing! At this point in time, it turns out that the Central Coast Waterboard erroneously gave Morro Bay Harbor Department permission to dredge adjacent to the State Marine Reserve in Morro Bay Estuary perhaps, I guess, because they didn't know they were already signatories to a Memorandum of Understanding between many state and federal regulatory agencies to work together to implement the Marine Life Protection Act, and protect State Marine Reserves like the one whose death warrant they just signed! And, one thing leading to another, the very next State Marine Reserve on the list, the Point Buchon State Marine reserve, is in very real danger of having all life within it -including Great Blue Whales- killed with 260 decibel seismic blasts, every 63 seconds around the clock for 40 days and 40 nights. 40 days and 40 nights; remind you of anything? Anyway, I've created the FB page: Stop the Diablo Canyon Seismic Testing ...and I urge you to join and share and urge your friends to join. My plan is to stop the testing by stopping people from playing fast and loose with our new network of Marine Reserves! We have great activists out here, some excellent people in key government positions, and we can win for the whales- by making an even louder noise than any seismic testing! Stay tuned for more, the party just started! love and respect, joey racano ps- thanx to the folks in Sacramento for really caring, listening and helping! photo L-R Sonke Mastrup (FG Comm) Mellisa Miller-Henson, Cat Kuhlman (Deputy Sec for Oceans and Coast), Ken Wiseman (Exec Drctr, MLPA) Joey Racano: 'Weapon of mass discussion' Scribd.com/joeyracano http://littleshell.earthsourcemedia.org Youtube.com/joeyracano1 ### At 11:05 AM 7/6/2012, Julie Levine wrote: Begin forwarded message: From: Lyndia Storey moveon-h...@list.moveon.org Date: July 6, 2012 7:54:32 AM PDT To: Julie Levine juliema...@aol.com Subject: Navy to kill 1,800 whales and dolphins?

I just posted (in the FB Daily News) this comment regarding the blatant harassment of chalkers by the LAPD. I hope you speak up on this First Amendment right. Thanks. I am very disappointed with the use of our tax dollars to arrest and shoot rubber bullets at peaceful chalkers and art walkers. If any bottle throwing happened, I am sure it was police infiltrators trying to create a riot so there would be cause to harrass and hurt. Meanwhile, we can't even properly fund the education of our children in Los Angeles, but it seems plenty of weapons and money to stifle First Amendment rights.

[LAAMN] Fwd: New Report San Onofre's Steam Generators in Worst Shape of All U.S. Nuclear Plants
Fwd: New Report San Onofre's Steam Generators in Worst Shape of All U.S. Nuclear Plants Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 13:45:40 -0700 From: Carol Jahnkow caroljahn...@gmail.com To: shutsanono...@citizensoversight.org Subject: [SDCPJ] New Report San Onofre's Steam Generators in Worst Shape of All U.S. Nuclear Plants FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 12, 2012 CONTACT: Bill Walker, (510) 759-9911; Damon Moglen, (202) 352-4223 DOWN THE TUBES: San Onofres Steam Generators in Worst Shape of All U.S. Nuclear Plants Leaked Edison Document Says 1,000s of Tubes in Both Reactors Damaged WASHINGTON, July 12 Problems with the steam generators at the San Onofre nuclear power plant are the most severe found in comparable generators anywhere in the U.S. nuclear industry, according to a new report commissioned by Friends of the Earth. The report by Fairewinds Energy Education also analyzes a leaked Southern California Edison document, which shows that despite assertions by Edison and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, thousands of tubes inside both San Onofre reactors are severely damaged and both reactors should remain shut down. [http://libcloud.s3.amazonaws.com/93/a7/c/2277/Edison_San_Onofre_Generators_US_Worst_Fairewinds_report_July_2012.pdf] San Onofre, on the Pacific Coast between Los Angeles and San Diego, has been shut down since January, after a leak of radiation from one of the almost 20,000 thin, tightly-packed tubes that lead from the plants four steam generators to its turbines. In an attempt to stop further leaks, Southern California Edison has plugged 1,317 of the tubes that show wear. According to NRC data on 31 reactors with comparable replacement steam generators, San Onofre has more than three and a half times the number of steam tubes plugged as a safety measure than at the other reactors combined. In addition to the unprecedented scale of plugging at San Onofre, Fairewinds analysis of the leaked data from Edison shows that more than 4,000 tubes are showing significant wear, while only 1,317 have been plugged. Fairewinds concludes that plugging the tubes will not eliminate the cause of damage. In fact, operating the reactors with the remaining unplugged but worn tubes could create cascading tube failures, leading to domino-like catastrophic failure that would release significant radiation to a large area of Southern California. Edison and the NRC have admitted that the problems with San Onofres steam tubes are an anomaly, but they havent been forthcoming about just how historically off-the-charts the damage is in comparison to the rest of the nuclear industry, said Arnie Gundersen, a nuclear engineer at Fairewinds and co-author of the report. Edison has maintained without challenge from the NRC that the fact that fewer tubes have been plugged in Unit 2 than in Unit 3 proves Unit 2 is in better shape and should be considered for restart. But the NRC data show that the number of tubes plugged in Unit 2 is still almost five times higher than in any other comparable reactor. A May 7, 2012 condition report from Edison (PDF), which has not been made public but was obtained by Friends of the Earth, confirms that Unit 2 is identical to Unit 3 and shares the same problems. [http://libcloud.s3.amazonaws.com/93/3f/4/2278/Edison_Document_Tube_Wear.pdf] Analyzing the findings of the condition report, Gundersen concluded: The replacement steam generators at San Onofre Unit 2 and Unit 3 were designed to the same specifications, were modelled using the same flawed and inadequate computer codes, and both units have the same . . . . instability that is one of the causes of the significant tube generation. Dave Freeman, former head of the federal Tennessee Valley Authority and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, said the condition report shows clearly that the picture Edison and the NRC are painting that Unit 2 is in better shape than Unit 3 is false. The fact that the first tube leak occurred in Unit 3 is simply a sneak preview of what could happen if either unit is restarted, said Freeman, a senior advisor to Friends of the Earth. The NRC needs to see through this blatant attempt to throw everyone off the real trail to safety. They need to keep both units shut down until the root cause is identified, an adjudicatory hearing is held and a determination is made as to whether or how the steam generators could be fixed. Friends of the Earth has petitioned the NRC to require a formal relicensing procedure that would determine whether San Onofre should be restarted. The NRC has yet to respond to the petition.

2012-06-30/4p: National Emergency Action to Stop U.S. War! Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2012 23:24:24 -0400 (EDT) From: International Action Center iacente...@peoplesmail.net Subject: [actionla] National Emergency Action to Stop U.S. War! Emergency Protest Against the Growing Threat of War Hands Off Syria and Iran! End the Drone Wars! We Need Jobs, Education and Healthcare, Not Endless War! During the period from June 23 through July 1, there will be demonstrations, vigils and forums around the country to protest the growing threats of war. Already over 25 cities are planning demonstrations. Los Angeles Action: Where: Westwood Federal Building - 11,000 Wilshire Boulevard When: Saturday June 30th at 4 pm Contact: (323) 306-6240 Using the pretext that North Vietnamese patrol boats had fired on U.S. destroyers, President LB Johnson authorized the funding of a much wider war in Vietnam. Like the recent killing of tens of thousands in Libya due to the latest U.S./NATO war, the lives lost could have been avoided if the anti-war movement had been strong enough to dispel the lies and counter the thrust towards war. Last Friday, amidst growing tensions with Syria due to U.S.-supported Syrian rebels, a Turkish jet fighter (bought from the U.S.) just happened to violate Syrian airspace and was shot down by the Syrian military. Is this the Gulf of Tonkin incident, then used in Vietnam, again being played by the Pentagon to start a wider war beginning in Syria, while nearly 100 people per month are killed by U.S. drones in impoverished countries around the world. While austerity and cutbacks against basic social services are echoed from Washington to City Hall, no such demands are being made to limit this Administration's aims for endless war. As Martin Luther King Jr said: The bombs in Vietnam explode at home ... poverty, urban problems and social progress generally are ignored when the guns of war become a national obsession.

[LAAMN] Fwd: Los Angeles Times Opinion Poll Today (Sunday) to Close San Inofre's Nuclear Power Plant!
Fwd: Los Angeles Times Opinion Poll Today (Sunday) to Close San Inofre's Nuclear Power Plant! * please share where appropriate! * From: Frank Dorrel fdor...@sbcglobal.net Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2012 08:14:16 -0700 Subject: [peacecenter] Vote in this Los Angeles Times Opinion Poll Today (Sunday) to Close San Inofre's Nuclear Power Plant! [1 Attachment] Vote in this Los Angeles Times Opinion Poll Today (Sunday) to Close San Inofre's Nuclear Power Plant! www.latimes.com/news/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-san-onofre-nuclear-20120611,0,4282835.story The Long, Hot Summer Without San Onofre's Nuclear Power By Karin Klein June 11, 2012, 4:20 PM San Onofre's two nuclear-power units have been down for months and will stay that way for months more. Late last week, Southern California Edison http://www.latimes.com/topic/economy-business-finance/southern-california-e dison-company-ORCRP014199.topic officials acknowledged that after early hopes that the reactors would be running safely in time for the summer energy load, it isn't going to happen. They'll have a plan by midsummer for reopening Unit 2, but then the plan will have to go through the lengthy regulatory process. And no one seems even remotely confident of when Unit 3 might return, and if it does, at what level of power? (Unit 1 was closed years ago.) The problem stems from the huge bundles of tubes that are an integral part of the new steam generators for which ratepayers recently shelled out $671 million. In February, it was discovered that many of the tubes -- especially in Unit 3 -- were wearing thin despite their newness, a result of vibration that caused the closely bundled tubes to rub against each other. These tubes don't get replaced like a hose in your car; they have to be plugged when there's a problem, and if enough of them are plugged, the reactor cannot run at full power. Two retired natural-gas generators in Huntington Beach have been brought back to life to help see the region through the hot days of summer. That, plus a conservation program, should prevent brownouts, utility officials say -- unless there's a bad heat wave. But the gas plants are a stopgap measure; they can't stay online for more than a few months. Some environmentalists are saying that San Onofre should simply remain closed, though it produces 19% of Edison's power. Running at reduced power wouldn't eliminate the vibration, Friends of the Earth contends, and the risk isn't worth it. Meanwhile, the license for the plant expires in 2022. Edison officials said they haven't decided whether to apply for a 20-year extension; that decision would need to be made by 2017 to go through the application process. The company says it will go after Mitsubishi Heavy Industries http://www.latimes.com/topic/economy-business-finance/mitsubishi-heavy-indu stries-limited-ORCRP010117.topic , maker of the steam generators, for the price of repair. But it's unclear whether the utility would collect, and also who would be responsible for paying for the more expensive replacement energy. Ratepayers? What do you think about the prospect of San Onofre closing -- or remaining open for 30 more years? And who should pay? Thank you for voting! Keep them shut down, permanently 36.63% (2,143 votes) Reopen them only if Mitsubishi pays for the needed repairs 2.89% (169 votes) Reopen them regardless of the cost, but shut them down in 2022 0.67% (39 votes) Reopen them and seek a new license to keep them running until 2042 58.44% (3,419 votes) Other: 1.37% (80 votes) Total Votes: 5,850 Go here to vote: www.latimes.com/news/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-san-onofre-nuclear-20120611,0,4282835.story - - - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/peacecenter/ ### --- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --- Unsubscribe: mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com --- Subscribe: mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com --- Digest: mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com --- Help: mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn --- Post: mailto:la...@egroups.com --- Archive1: http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn --- Archive2: http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com --- Yahoo!

TPP will meet here in San Diego at the Bayfront Hilton from July 2nd through July 10th. There is a Facebook event page for those of you on Facebook. [https://www.facebook.com/events/386079468116572/] The following organizations have endorsed a Call to Action: ⦠Occupy San Diego - CP ⦠Occupy City Heights ⦠Occupy Your Corner ⦠Women Occupy San Diego (WOSD) ⦠The San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice (SDCPJ) ⦠Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch ⦠The International Socialist Organization (ISO) - San Diego ⦠OSD Labor Solidarity Committee The Call to Action: We are waking up. The fog is lifting. We are sweeping away the lies and secrecy. From July 2 to July 10, the political leaders of the Pacific Rim nations are meeting in San Diego to turn the Pacific Ocean and its peoples into a giant privatized corporate lake characterized by non-union workers, Wal-Mart supply chain feeders, poisoned, landless agricultural laborers, a dying biodiversity, and rising, drowning sea levels. We cannot and will not let this happen. The TPP meeting is officially referred to as the 13th Round of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Talks. The nations involved are the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Brunei, Chile, and Peru. Japan, Mexico and Canada have indicated a desire to join. The economic power of this group is more than 40% larger than the 27-nation European Union. The claimed purpose of TPP is to promote development and create jobs. However, this meeting is in fact one of the final conclaves to secretly negotiate the economic structural adjustments necessary to appease the worldâs largest multinational banks and multi-unit corporations. Make no mistake, these talks have nothing to do with free trade between equal nations. Rather, they are negotiations being conducted on behalf of these corporations and banks by their willing and highly-paid governments (supported by their militaries and police departments) to systematize the exploitation of the Pacific Rim peoples and increase the capital acquisition rates of the 1%. The essence of these talks is to privatize natural resources (despite the wishes of the worldâs indigenous peoples;) restructure each countryâs trade, labor, environmental, and finance laws; and reduce or eradicate social services to the people. These policies are known the world over as neoliberalism. Historically, they have been instituted around the world ever since the brutal taking of power in Chile, on September 11, 1973, by the fascist regime of General Augusto Pinochet. These policies, thus experimented with, spread to countries as widespread as the U.K., the U.S., Mexico, Argentina, Indonesia, Russia, Poland, Sri Lanka, and now Greece. They have been implemented by the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization, a plethora of âFree Tradeâ treaties (such as NAFTA), and various militaries. Enough is enough! ¡Ya basta! The General Assemblies of Occupy San Diego and Occupy City Heights hereby invites our communities, our regional neighbors, and our co-inhabitants of Earth, in general, to join us in both protesting the TPP and also in creating a new world. We will march with pots and pans, and drums. (Can you hear me now?) We will sponsor an international weeklong conference and roundtables on what is wrong with the TPP Pact and what are the peopleâs alternatives. --- A website has been set up, http://stoptpp.org, with more info on TPP and the upcoming TPP round 13 here in San Diego. Check back regularly as some events/actions are still in the planning stages. We will keep you updated regularly in upcoming email blasts as well.

[LAAMN] 2012-06-18 SanJuanCapistrano: NRC San Onofre Nuclear Plant safety meeting
2012-06-18/5-9p San Juan Capistrano: NRC San Onofre Nuclear Plant safety meeting Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:01:40 -0700 From: Raymond Lutz rayl...@citizensoversight.org To: copsm...@citizensoversight.org copsm...@citizensoversight.org Subject: [Copsmain] Impt. NRC Meeting on San Onofre Nuclear Plant safety, Monday, June 18, 5-9 p.m. Important NRC Meeting on San Onofre Nuclear Plant Safety June 18th, 2012 5 PM 9 PM San Juan Capistrano Your voice is needed! The crippled San Onofre nuclear power plant has posed an unnecessary risk to our environment and our communities. It has also left Southern California Edison ratepayers footing a 670.8 million dollar bill for critically-flawed steam generator equipment. Lax oversight on the part of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) allowed this to happen. On June 18th, we have our first opportunity to hold the NRC accountable. Your voice is needed! Please attend this meeting. On January 31st, a steam generator tube ruptured in San Onofre reactor Unit 3, releasing radioactive steam into the environment. Further inspection revealed unprecedented, accelerated wear in the recently replaced steam generators of both reactor Units 2 and 3. According to reports by nuclear expert, Arnie Gundersen, these replacement steam generators contain significant design changes. These changes should have required a full license amendment process, with a public hearing. Instead, NRC Region IV accepted Southern California Edisons word and allowed these replacement steam generators to be licensed under a perfunctory, rubberstamp process. The NRC responded to these significant steam generator problems by deploying an Augmented Inspection Team (AIT). However, this team is under the oversight of Region IV, the same NRC office that rubberstamped the critically-flawed replacement steam generators initially. On Monday, June 18th, the NRC will hold a preliminary public hearing on the AIT findings. However, the NRC has released no prior documentation to enable the public to make fully-informed inquiries into this process. This meeting is a gesture in the direction of transparency. However, there has been no real commitment to public engagement and the dissemination of information. We must hold them accountable. Please come to the hearing, bring friends, and make your voices heard! Our communities deserve safety and transparency! LOCATION: San Juan Capistrano Community Center Community Hall 25925 Camino Del Avion San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675 Hearing starts at 6 p.m.; please try to arrive at 5 p.m. for press conference and rally and to sign up to speak.

In this email: Demo at Westwood - No War on Syria - 5pm Saturday! Articles Expose U.S. Hand in Houla Massacre No U.S. War in Syria! We Need Jobs Not War There will be a demonstration to defend the people of Syria against a U.S./NATO assault at 5 pm on Saturday, June 9th, at the Westwood Federal Building at 11000 Wilshire Blvd. The U.S. is gearing up for yet another imperialist war for regime change in the Middle-East and their campaign of lies and demonization is part of a familiar pattern that encourages massacres of innocent people as was done most recently in the U.S./NATO campaign in Libya. That campaign allowed the U.S. control over Libya's oil, its people and initially killed thousands, while destroying all government-funded social services lauded by the UN, especially for women and children. U.S. and NATO-backed terrorists are killing innocent civilians in Syria today and promoting further foreign intervention. Like the covert wars against Central America, these U.S./UN/NATO war campaigns promise democracy but instead strip sovereignty by destroying a country's infrastructure and promoting violent divisions and civil war, allowing Western multi-national corporations, the oil industry, the military-industrial complex and financial monopolies free reign for exploitation and the maximization of profits - all at the expense of millions of lives, especially children's lives. The Syrian people must be allowed to create the reforms they choose, without U.S. and U.S.-backed foreign intervention. Join the Arab Americans for Syria; the International Action Center; Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark; Union of Progressive Iranians; Puerto Rican Alliance; Carlos Montes, Latinos Against the War; with other progressive organizations, clergy, labor and community activists to say no to US/NATO war against the people of Syria. Instead of endless war, we need money for jobs, schools and medical care!
