1) ACORN is bringing a Presidential Candidates Forum to
Philadelphia on Monday, July 2 from 1-6 pm at the Bright Hope Baptist
Church, 1601 N 12th Street (12th & Cecil B Moore Ave). Confirmed so
far are Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Joe Biden and Barack O'Bama is trying to
alter his schedule to attend. The focus will be on living wages, the
foreclosure crisis, immigration issues and education. The cost is only
$10. We would like to have an NN delegation present. Please send me
your checks at the address below made out to "ACORN".
2) This Tuesday, June 26, is a special lobbying day in
Washington DC to restore habeas corpus rights. These are our
fundamental due process rights not to be incarcerated without charges and to
defend oneself which have been violated by the Bush administration. This
day is being sponsored by the ACLU, Amnesty International, and other civil
rights groups. You will be trained how to lobby and argue for restoration
of rights. FREE buses are being provided but you need to sign up by going
to aclupa.org or calling 215-592-1513 x123. What a great learning
experience for all. Bring your kids. People are marching all the way
from Chicago - 800 miles for this. Join this important and memorable call
for democracy.
3) Michael Moore's new film,
"Sicko", is coming to town next Friday, June 29. I was privileged
to see a preview of this incredible film principally calling for universal
health care in the US and reasonable government benefits that serve people
before corporations. But the understory is NN's same call that democracy
can only really function when people act in the polling place and require their
representatives to provide for their needs. This film will make you laugh
and cry and feel ashamed of how far the US has strayed from its potential.
But you will walk out feeling energized to do something about it. How can
we not? Moore asks "who are we?" We know who we want to be.
There are pending bills in Pa and in DC calling for universal health
care.
There will also be a healthcare town meeting on
July 10 at Newman Hall at Penn from 7-9 pm where our own Walter Tsou will
speak.
Change is afoot. Please get out there and be part of it. Gloria, Chair, NN

PHILADELPHIA EMERGENCY ANTI-WAR CONVENTION
Independence
Center, Philadelphia, PA
JULY 4, 2007, Starting 1 PM
In the spirit of
our Declaration of Independence, join activist organizations throughout the
country to collaborate and forge common strategies and actions. As our
forefathers of this nation did, we too must face tyranny, this time from the
collusion of government, big business, media, and religion.
We convene to
form a strategic alliance with peace, pro-impeachment, civil liberties, 9/11
Truth, and other groups to develop a comprehensive strategy and implement
actions to deal with this emergency. Together we can eliminate the common root
cause of our separate activist concerns. Through this union we can access
the only power feared by this corrupt alliance … the power of
community.
The convention will be inclusive as each delegate will have
the floor to describe their organization, primary concerns, strategies and
actions they propose. These strategies and actions will be part of further
discussions. There will be time for deliberation and participation in break-out
groups. Other activities include showing documentaries that support your cause
at a separate theater for delegates and general public.
This is also a
media opportunity as already we have received national coverage through our
radio ads. The entire event will be simulcast globally through the internet as
well as filmed. Come and be part of
history.
· Register: describe your
organization, and number attending, email: Paulnrg@aol.com,
brmas@earthlink.net
· Collaborate: send
your suggestions on agenda and events for the available eight
hours.
· Network with other activist
groups and expand your influence.
·
Access the power of community that will bring needed change.
Events begin
at 1 PM on July 4
Located at Independence Center, 6th and Market St.,
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia's First Homeless Running Club/ DONATE your old
running/walking shoes
I could not be more excited to announce that
in three weeks Philadelphia will have its first-ever Homeless Running
Club...yes, you read that right. Each morning as I begin my run I am
greeted with the smiles and applause from many of the guys who stay at the
Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission Shelter. Their warm welcome is as friendly and
dependable as the sunrise and earlier this month I had an epiphany – why am I
just waving and running by, why am I not taking them with
me?
After conversations with
the staff and the members at the Shelter, I am very proud to announce that 12
residents of the Rescue Mission are now officially enrolled in the Sunday
Breakfast Running Club. The program starts in mid July and I will be holding
jogging sessions for the Shelter three times a week. The members will be
rewarded for the miles they run with incentives such as movie tickets,
restaurant vouchers, department store gift certificates, etc.
I am asking
for you to please give your old running/walking shoes new life by donating them
to this Program – all sizes are needed, both men’s and women’s. And while
you’re at it, if you have some decent shirts, shorts, socks and pants, I’ll take
those too. Philadelphia Runner has graciously offered their store as a drop-off
location for your shoes and running gear. And as a way of saying thank
you, they will give you $10 off a new pair of shoes when you donate your old
ones. Philadelphia Runner is located at 1601 Sansom St, Philadelphia, PA
19103.
And if you don’t have
shoes, or you just want to give more, please consider making a cash donation
that will go toward purchasing the incentives for the members to reach mileage
goals.
Please make checks out to:
The Sunday Breakfast Running
Club
and mail to:
1220
Buttonwoood St. #506, Philadelphia, PA 19123

What the bills are about:
In late 2004, Pennsylvania
became the 17th state to pass a law
that requires that certain percentages of
the state's electricity
must come from renewable energy sources.
However, Pennsylvania's
law calls it "alternative" (not "renewable") energy
because we
were the first state to include fossil fuels in such a law
--
making it the dirtiest law of this sort in the nation.
HB 1203 and
SB 715 set out to fix a few of the many loopholes in
the law (yet didn't
attempt to remove any of the dirty energy
technologies from the "alternative
energy" mandate.
Why we oppose them:
These bills were both amended in
the past week with language
sought by the trash incineration industry.
These amended bills
will now provide increased financial incentives to both
the trash
incineration and waste coal burning industries -- the two
most
polluting technologies to be considered "alternative energy" in
the
law. This amendment was accomplished through obscure
language that
pertains to whether an electricity generator is the
initial owner of the
alternative energy credits. These
amendments aren't needed to support
clean, new energy generation,
like wind and solar.
The House version
also includes an amendment that would subsidize
large farming operations
(primarily those that would be
considered "factory farms") by increasing the
size-limit on
eligible "customer-generator" alternative energy sources.
This
amendment was sought by the Farm Bureau (the lobby group
that
advocates for big agribusiness interests) so that animal
waste
digesters can take advantage of the financial advantages that
would
otherwise go to wind. We'd rather see these advantages go
to wind
power, not to subsidize factory farm waste management methods.
If it has a
smokestack, it's NOT clean energy!
Support wind power! Stop
incineration in all of its forms!

NATIONAL &
INTERNATIONAL ACTION:
Ralph Nader and Carl Romanelli to
Speak
Ralph Nader will be one of the speakers on Saturday night
July 14 at the
2007 Green Party Annual National Meeting in Reading,
Pennsylvania.
Nader reportedly
will talk about the decision of the Pennsylvania State
Courts to require
candidates in 2004 and 2006 to pay between $80,000 and
$90,000 in costs for
having tried to get on the ballot and being challenged
and then removed.
Nader himself was the 2004 Independent candidate for
President that was
assessed these outragous costs, and Carl Romanelli Green
Party nominee for
U.S. Senator was the 2006
candidate.
Carl Romanelli will
be one of the other speakers at the Saturday night
event. Those of you
who attended the Green Party of Philadelphia's silent
auction in December
2006 will remember what an inspirational speaker Carl
Romanelli
is.
Hope you can come to Reading
for this event or one of the many other public
events including a music
festival!

Keep
Birth Control Affordable!
Two weeks ago the Supreme Court gave
politicians the green light
to restrict women's access to abortion. Now
Congress is
restricting women's access to Birth
Control!
As a result of a law
enacted in January -- called the Deficit
Reduction Act, or the "DRA" -- the
price of birth control pills
at health centers across the country has
doubled, tripled, and
or worse. Hundreds of thousands of women across the
country are
losing access to birth control because they cannot afford
this
increase in the cost of their pills. This puts women at
increased
risk of unintended pregnancy and serious health issues.
Take action now
and tell Congress to put birth control back
within women's reach.

Make history on July 7th
On July 7, more than 2 billion
people will join together to watch the Live Earth concerts and
demonstrate to our leaders that the time has come to solve the climate
crisis.
Wherever you are that day, you can be part of the action. At
events around the world, we are going to convert the potential energy of Live
Earth into a global campaign. In thousands of homes, people will invite their
friends and neighbors to watch the concerts and join the movement.
In
order to make these parties truly global, I've decided to partner with Avaaz.
The 385,000 Avaaz members from every corner of the world, who mobilized to
pressure the G8, amazed me. Avaaz's work to give ordinary people around the
world a powerful voice in global decision-making is inspiring, and your
organizing around the G8 Summit made a significant difference. Now we have the
opportunity to expand on that great effort.
Will you commit to organize a
Live Earth house party on July 7th? The parties will be fun--and they'll make a
difference. If you've got a few friends and a TV, you've got everything you
need.
Sign up as a party host by visiting:

Palestinians
At A Cross-Road By Dr. Elias Akleh
http://www.countercurrents.org/akleh220607.htm
Many believe
that what happened in Gaza last week was the result of a failed American/Israeli
policy. The opposite is true; that was exactly what Bush’s administration,
Israeli government, and some Arab leaders were hoping and planning for. The
Hamas resistance phenomenon was to be destroyed for fear of spreading to the
rest of the Arab countries. Hamas government was set up and given no choice but
to pre-emptively defend itself against Dahlan’s death squads
All In The Family: Disharmony In Gaza By Remi Kanazi
http://www.countercurrents.org/kanazi220607.htm
Rubbing
Hamas' face in the dirt (along with the 1.4 million people of Gaza) like
schoolyard bullies may seem like an after school delight, but it will only
foment more hatred against Israel and more disgust with Fatah
In Search Of Justice In The Middle East By Ali
Abunimah
http://www.countercurrents.org/abunimah220607.htm
Intra-Palestinian
dialogue without outside interference, and South Africa or Northern
Ireland-style peace talks aimed at ending all forms of military occupation,
inequality and discrimination, with strong outside support, may yet save the
situation. But so far there are no signs that the Bush administration will heed
these obvious rudiments of peace
Democracy
Defeated By Ramzy Baroud
http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud220607.htm
All my
forewarnings have suddenly been actualised, all at once: Gaza has descended into
total and utter chaos; Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has capitulated to
Israel and to the United States without a shred of reservation; and the
Palestinian democratic experiment, which was until recently an astounding
success, has been smashed to pieces
An Active Complicity In Israel’s
Terror By Ghali Hassan
http://www.countercurrents.org/hassan220607.htm
On June 5,
2007, the pro-Zionist U.S. House of Representatives passed Resolution 152,
endorsing Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land and Israel’s illegal and
violent “reunification of Jerusalem”. The passing of the Resolution was a
deliberate violation of UN Security Council and in contempt of world
peace
Fears For Democracy In India By Martha C.
Nussbaum
http://www.countercurrents.org/nussbaum220607.htm
What we
see in Gujarat is not a simplistic, comforting thesis, but something more
disturbing: the fact that in a thriving democracy, many individuals are unable
to live with others who are different, on terms of mutual respect and amity.
They seek total domination as the only road to security and pride

A major victory on fuel economy!
Late last night the
Union of Concerned Scientists and our allies won a major victory on fuel
economy! Thanks in part to your numerous emails and phone calls, the Senate
voted yesterday to substantially increase the corporate average fuel economy
(CAFE) standard of America's cars and trucks for the first time in over 30
years—setting a target of 35 miles per gallon by
2020.
Unfortunately, we were less
successful in another one of our main objectives—increasing our use of clean,
renewable electricity from sources like the sun, energy crops, and wind. UCS and
a national coalition were blocked from adding a national renewable energy
standard to the Senate energy bill by a small group of
senators.
But for today, let's
take time to celebrate this historic moment!
If you have general questions,
comments or concerns, send email to

THE GENERAL'S REPORT By Seymour M. Hersh
** How Antonio Taguba,
who investigated the Abu Ghraib scandal, became one of its
casualties.
New Yorker June 25, 2007 (posted June 17)
http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/06/25/070625fa_fact_hersh
"From the moment a soldier enlists, we inculcate loyalty, duty, honor,
integrity, and selfless service," Taguba said. "And yet when we get to the
senior-officer level we forget those values. I know that my peers in the Army
will be mad at me for speaking out, but the fact is that we violated the laws of
land warfare in Abu Ghraib. We violated the tenets of the Geneva Convention. We
violated our own principles and we violated the core of our military values. The
stress of combat is not an excuse, and I believe, even today, that those
civilian and military leaders responsible should be held
accountable."
