This is an action diary if you live in California. The citrus growers in our state have asked that honeybees be banned near any large parcel of agricultural land. This is to stop the citrus from having seeds. I am asking you to write or call the Secretary of Agriculture to let him know that you oppose this bad idea. California has been greatly impacted by the loss of honeybees already and this would make the problem worse.

Just a quick diary to alert folks to a (crazzzzzzy) post on Redtstate. I lurk so you don't have to! Have you ever heard that it is a Republican value to NOT recycle? To be forced to recycle is so close to socialized environmentalism it drives Erick @ RedHate nuts! He wants his folks to call this county commissioner and harass him for making recycling mandatory in an Atlanta suburb.

ACTION required: email Charles Bannister and let him know that he is in fact doing the correct thing.

Dear Kossacks,

I have marched through the streets of San Francisco. Thousands of people gathered in Dolores Park on the Friday after the elections to rally the community, and it worked. The amount of people who stopped and watched us march right down Market street in San Francisco was amazing. We heard impassioned speeches and finally I felt a sense of purpose build around me. I had seen this in documentaries in an LGBTIQQ* history class and heard about from friends who had been here in the 70's, but haven't really seen in this community. We had become comfortable, even while our own were still ruthlessly murdered we drank in the bars and laughed at episodes of Will and Grace and shopped, and did your hair. We were (hopefully past tense is where we are now) in a bubble in the Castro we sit and drink coffee and don't think about those areas we have come from, because we finally feel free. Much of that can be attributed to Harvey Milk. Follow me down below on how we all can do something to move this Great Country away from second class citizenry with a little MILK and Turkey.

With all of the pent up, not-yet-nominated energy going on around here I want to share a little fun in the hopes it might lift y'alls spirit.

THIS IS REAL...

Follow me below the fold for a not-so-refreshing idea to memorialize our favorite president in the very City he and his buddies despise!

I received a response from Dianne Feinstein and want to share it with you, I think some of her choice of language is telling and shows what is ahead for those of us who want to see this illegal wire tapping brought in to the light.

This is a quick diary to bring additional attention to what you can do about the fuel oil spill in San Francisco Bay.

Dirty bunker fuel literally comes from the bottom of the barrel and is more than 1,000 times dirtier than the diesel fuel used in trucks and buses. This fuel pollutes the air, threatens human health, and causes global warming. Now, an accident has led to the release of 58,000 gallons of this toxic fuel into the San Francisco Bay -- demonstrating the risks that its use poses for marine life. Friends of the Earth's Clean Vessels campaign is calling on Congress to require a complete phase-out of bunker fuel use.

Please make the jump and follow the link to sign... thank you!

This topic has been well discussed for years but given the recent spat of hate-mongering that has arisen from the far right, it bears regurgitating if only to assuage my depression about why anyone would attack a 12 year old and his family or lie with seeming impunity about the sacrifice of a soldier with no thought to the effect it would have on their lives.

I am constantly in appreciation and awe of the willingness of those who would publicly stand up to dispute the decisions of our war making government only to be slammed with hate filled speech by those who often cannot see that they live in a Faux news bubble.

We are not being heard because we don't have the $$ silly.

It takes money to get elected, it takes money to even get a meeting with an elected official.

But it does not take money to vote and my congress critters feel safe in cozy blue-ish California. And I'm ready to make them work for us, and not the other way around.

Wanna jump in with me? DO something? Let's do it!

I belong to a site called Big Muscle Bears, who have asked me to sign a petition from the Gay and Lesbian Task force to STOP the Federal government from thinly veiled homophobic attacks.

The Federal Record Keeping and Labeling Act (2257) has huge impacts on social networking sites, it could shut down the entire industry through burdensome regulation. Why should you care?

Because "the regulations would allow the Attorney General to conduct warrantless searches at will on the sites’ records, including your personal information."

As I am reading a story in the SF Chronicle about the Haas family, I am struck not just by the generosity of this family, but also by who they support through their foundation and how they go about it.

This is a short diary about family values... the right kind of values.

Ed Jew has come under investigation for violating San Francisco's requirement that the office holder live in the district the they represent. Although this is not a huge crisis, the reason he even got noticed in the first place is due to allegations made by business owners in his district that he solicited cash bribes to 'facilitate' permitting. He is currently under investigation by the FBI and has charges filed by the City Attorney's office. More below the fold.
