Governor Brown will be in Los Angeles this Thursday for a high-dollar fundraising event for his 2014 re-election campaign, and we’ve got an opportunity to keep up the pressure on him to ban fracking in California.

We’ve been calling on Gov. Brown across the state to get him to drop his support of fracking—and we’re GETTING HIS ATTENTION. 

At an event in the Bay Area earlier this month, the San Jose Mercury News reported that anti-fracking activists “As part of an increasingly energetic campaign… have begun picketing and protesting the governor whenever he appears.”1 When he visited San Diego last week, he was greeted by voters calling for a moratorium on fracking, and the nightly news covered the protest.2

MoveOn members will join allies from CREDO and the Center for Biological Diversity and other groups this Thursday at 5:00 p.m. for a rally at Holmby Park, near the fundraiser, to get Gov. Brown’s attention and demand a ban on fracking—can you come out and be part of this important event?

Here are the details and map:  http://civic.moveon.org/event/events/event.html?event_id=140400&id=

ban fracking CA protest sept 20, friday sept 20 protest fracking LA, los angeles protest fracking sept 20 2013, SB 4 gov veto, sept 20 2013 ban fracking los angeles, tell gov to veto SB 4

Sacramento failed us. They passed SB4, a little over a week ago.

This Friday, Mark Nechodom, the director of California’s Department of Conservation, along with the head of the Western States Petroleum Association will be at a Chamber of Commerce Forum on “Powering California’s Economy in the 21st Century.”

With SB 4, the dangerous bill that will green light fracking in California, headed to Governor Brown’s desk, we need to put pressure on top officials in his administration to tell him to veto SB 4 and ban fracking now.

The head of the DOC reports directly to and takes his marching orders from Jerry Brown. Brown needs to listen to the people not Big Oil.

Bring signs that say: Ban Fracking Now, Veto SB4, Ban Fracking in CA, Ban Fracking in Los Angeles, Ban Fracking in Ventura etc.

Place: 350 South Bixel St., LA, 90017
Time: 9:00 am

Urgent!!! Vote in California Senate on Health care for all tomorrow!

Tags

california health care reform, cutting health care costs california, get corporations out of health care, holistic health care, holistic health care bill california, occupy sacramento vote on healthcare, real health care, sacramento vote on health care jan 31, SB810

Just 2 votes more are needed for passage!  4 democrats abstained from voting.  We could turn them around if you decide to OccupySacramento and get corporations out of health care!!!

Call these 4 California Senators Now, and urge them to vote for Healthcare for all!  And call/email your friends too!!

Ca. Sen. Juan Vargas      916  651-4040

Ca. Sen. Alex Padilla        916  651-4020

Ca. Sen. Rodrick Wright   916  651-4025

Ca. Sen. Michael Rubio    916   651-4016

The bill, SB 810 will provide comprehensive healthcare & medicare for all.  The bill insures primary care and preventative care to head off disease before it is too late to get well. It is comprehensive, because it not only includes short term care, like clinics, ERs, labs, etc., but it also covers holistic medicine, chiropractic, dental, and vision, and it does so without deductibles, copays, or added out-of-pocket costs. If you are employed and have healthcare through your employer, your employer no longer has to go through an insurance company.  This cuts your portion you pay in by half because your employer will pay a lot less for health care. And the bill insures that those out of work, and who cannot afford health care are also covered.   California SB 810, sponsored by Mark Leno, will eliminate insurance corporations from controlling our healthcare. Think of SB 810 as Medicare for All, only stronger, without the insurance industry.  Because it eliminates people profiting off of sickness, the Bill will save $billions of dollars.  It puts Doctors and Nurses in charge of distributing our healthcare nonprofitly. Cost overruns of healthcare for profit will be cut in half, meaning all Californians will be covered at half the cost.  The Bill adds no cost to the consumer, and by eliminating middle-men (corporations) it will also contain the rising costs of the medical insurance industry, which reached 17% of the GDP in California.

Today, over 10,000Californians die annually without health care.  It is the State’s 7th leading cause of death.  We pay twice the cost for half the care, because insurance companies are paying their CEOs $millions to deny care, while making

corporations more money.  Insurance companies like Blue Cross have tripled in value over the last 10 years, while charging exorbitant prices for health care.  As a nurse, I took an oath,”to above all else, do no harm.”  10,000 deaths from inadequate or denied health care every year is harm.  We kill more people by denying or unaffording health care than all the terrorists have killed in the Twin Towers and the Mideast Wars–In one year!!!

Call these 4 State Senators above TODAY or early TOMORROW, as the vote of “reconsideration” will be our last chance–Thanks in advance & OCCUPYSACRAMENTO!!

–Grant
