U. S. Senate Global Poverty Act
Obama bill: $845 billion more for global poverty. Democrat sponsors act OK'd by Senate panel that would cost 0.7% of gross national product.

Obama’s Global Tax Proposal Up for Senate Vote: AIM Column, By Cliff Kincaid, February 12, 2008: "Jeffrey Sachs, who runs the U.N.'s 'Millennium Project," says that the U.N. plan to force the U.S. to pay 0.7 percent of GNP in increased foreign aid spending would add $65 billion a year to what the U.S. already spends. Over a 13-year period, from 2002, when the U.N.'s Financing for Development conference was held, to the target year of 2015, when the U.S. is expected to meet the "Millennium Development Goals," this amounts to $845 billion. And the only way to raise that kind of money, Sachs has written, is through a global tax, preferably on carbon-emitting fossil fuels.'"

Undoing America's Ethanol Mistake
By Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson
April 28, 2008
"The International Food Policy Research Institute estimates that biofuel production accounts for between one-quarter and one-third of the recent spike in global commodity prices... As a recent Time cover story pointed out, biofuel mandates increase greenhouse gasses and create incentives for global deforestation."

rainforest Time Magazine:

The Clean Energy Scam

By Michael Grunwald
March 27, 2008

"But several new studies show the biofuel boom is doing exactly the opposite of what its proponents intended: it's dramatically accelerating global warming, imperiling the planet in the name of saving it. Corn ethanol, always environmentally suspect, turns out to be environmentally disastrous. Even cellulosic ethanol made from switchgrass, which has been promoted by eco-activists and eco-investors as well as by President Bush as the fuel of the future, looks less green than oil-derived gasoline."

Sample Reading, Click on The Items Below

New York Sun April 15, 2008: The Journal story quoted India's Finance Minister, Palaniappan Chidambaram, as saying, "When millions of people are going hungry, it's a crime against humanity that food should be diverted to biofuels."

April 16, 2008: UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has warned the growing global food crisis has reached emergency proportions... Several causes factor into the global food price hike, many linked to human activity. These include human-driven climate change, the soaring cost of oil and a Western-led focus on biofuels that critics say turns food into fuel.

By Jad Mouawad April 28, 2008

Gulf of Mexico saturated with oil?
Excerpt: "Earlier this year (2006), Cuba announced plans to hire the communist Chinese to drill for oil off Key West, Fla. The move was made possible by the 1977 agreement under President Jimmy Carter that created for Cuba an "Exclusive Economic Zone" extending from the western tip of Cuba to the north, virtually to Key West."

Alaskans Revisit Old Issue With New Arguments
By Lee Dye, Juneau, Alaska, February 22, 2008
"(Alaska Governor Tony) Knowles is a Democrat, but a Yale fraternity brother of President Bush, who has made opening (drilling for oil) the refuge a cornerstone of his administration's energy program. Alaska's two U.S. senators and lone congressman are Republicans with key committee assignments, and all strongly support oil development in the reserve. Most Alaskans do too, according to several polls."

deputysheriffPAWLING SAFETY AWARENESS MEETING

OPEN TO ALL INTERESTED

Thursday, February 7th,  7p.m. at the Village Hall 9 Memorial Ave. Pawling, NY

Photo from Dutchess County Sheriff's Office website at http://www.dutchessny.gov/CountyGov/Departments/Sheriff/SHindex.htm

 As an "introductory" meeting, the topics addressed will be of concern to everyone in our community and is open to all.  The Dutchess County Sheriff will be addressing community safety as well as safety for ourselves, families, and homes.  The meeting will not be focused on forming Neighborhood Watch programs, but if there is interest among groups of neighbors, action could go forward in those neighborhoods wanting to pursue this direction.

  You can help "get the word out" by forwarding this email to anyone who might be interested in this meeting.  Again, everyone is welcome to attend.
