Whole Foods Market announces 5 year plan to label GMOs inside of their stores. While GMO Inside appreciates and commends their commitment to labeling GMOs we think consumers deserve to know what is in their food now. We hope more stores stand up for consumers right to know and GMO laden brands will follow suit and source non-GMO. If corporations won't label GMOs then we the people will! To get ideas on how to use GMO Inside labels and download your own labels for free go here: http://gmoinside.org/launch-labels As consumers we have to remain diligent in demanding GMOs be removed from products entirely so that supply meets demand much faster than 5 years. Please share this post!

You'll often hear this line that if we just took all the money from the richest people ... it would pay off like 2 weeks of the national deficit. Here are some facts that will boggle your mind.

Mar. 12, 2013 — When Gulf of Mexico algae don't get enough nutrients, they focus their remaining energy on becoming more and more poisonous to ensure their survival, according to a new study by scientists from North Carolina State University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

In 2007, BP was regarded as the British equivalent of Exxon Mobil (XOM). BP was in every pension plan, retirement fund, and broad-based mutual fund. In much the same way that you'd have to do some digging to find a popular 401(k) in the United States that contained no Exxon Mobil stock, you'd have to go to great lengths to find a British fund that lacked a position in BP. By year-end 2007, BP was responsible for generating almost 10% of the income across the nation's retirement plans. Read that again: one single oil company was responsible for almost 10% of an entire nation's retirement income.

After 18 California sea lion pups that were “pretty much skin and bones” were rescued in just 48 hours, coming in a year that has already seen more than 10 times the number of rescues last year, a California marine mammal center has declared a state of a emergency. “They’re coming in pretty much skin and bones and we’re starting to see their systems shut down,” Pacific Marine Mammal Center Executive Director Keith Matassa said. “It’s unusual. Last year at this time we only had 10 rescues. We’re up to 112 this year.”

1 Billion AGAINST Indefinite Detention without trial law

In a vote of 37-0 (1 absent), the Michigan Senate joined the growing list of of states and municipalities throughout America in passing their version of the Liberty Preservation Act, released by the Tenth Amendment Center. Senate Bill 94 (SB94) now proceeds to the Michigan State House. State Senator Rick Jones, the bill's sponsor, and grassroots activists forged the bipartisan alliance against the federal law which applies the law of war and indefinite detention to anyone on U.S. soil.

 After the bill's passage in the Senate, PANDA Michigan's Dennis Marburger vowed relentless opposition to all federal legislation which subverts the U.S. Constitution, saying:

 The very active and knowledgeable group of Michiganians fighting this egregious Federal overreach will not rest until there is real, tangible and viable state resistance to D.C.'s attempts to deny our rights and threaten our safety – whatever unconstitutional legislation, edict or judicial fiat our government employees use as an excuse.

The unlawful mandates of the NDAA are sections 1021 and 1022 which allow the arrest, detention and/or transport to foreign prisons of anyone the federal government “suspects” is a terrorist.

Those so imprisoned can be denied trial, access to an attorney, and the ability to even advise someone they have been detained.

Got that? This does not just mean higher gas/energy prices if they continue with it as planned, though the industry will use their tellya-vision industry and the gullible people who still believe in TV to promote that very lie. We will get that money back, and cleaner lives to go with it.
