Subject: Fw: Do your friends know what they'll lose?


Hey —

I don't know if you've seen this, but I'm not really shocked:

When the House passed the health-reform bill, anti-choice members of Congress included language (the Stupak-Pitts amendment) that would essentially block private-insurance companies from covering abortion in the new system.

Right now, our fight is in the Senate – where anti-choice politicians are threatening to put Stupak-Pitts language in the Senate bill.

I sent a letter to my senators urging them to oppose any effort to include the abortion-coverage ban in their bill – but my letters aren't enough. Will you join me and write your own letter today?

http://action.prochoiceamerica.org/site/R?i=l5g4_XE05qusJGJmWksz4g..

Thank you for doing this with me.

Christine

Dear Christine,

Majority Leader Harry Reid unveiled the Senate health-care bill last night. Let's get to what this means for women.

First, this bill does not include the Stupak-Pitts language that is in the House version. On Monday, I delivered a petition to Sen. Reid urging him not to include the extreme anti-choice provision. The petition was signed by 97,218 pro-choice Americans like you – thank you for helping make a difference!

Second, the Senate debate is about to begin, and we are not in the clear. Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah is threatening to offer an amendment similar to the Stupak-Pitts abortion-coverage ban.1 This is what we anticipated – and exactly what 97,218 pro-choice Americans stood up against when they signed our petition.

That's why I need you to do one more thing right now: forward the message below to your pro-choice friends and family. If we want the Senate to get the message, we need everyone to take action – and fast.

Don't let this initial piece of good news give you a false sense of security. Please don't wait. Just forward along the message below (or use the handy social networking links under my signature) – and thank you.

My best,

Nancy Keenan
President, NARAL Pro-Choice America

Subject: Announcement of 2010 Improvements to Neighborhood Matching Fund

Over its 21 years, the Neighborhood Matching Fund team has made continuous improvements to the program. Following up from a formal assessment in which several of you participated, we have identified improvements, and Im pleased to announce the following changes to the Neighborhood Matching Fund (NMF) beginning in January 2010.

NMF Guidelines:

The NMF guidelines are now clearer and easier to navigate. In fact, all four NMF funding programs are covered under the same guidelines document.

The value of volunteer time has increased to $20 per hour keeping up with Independent Sector research on average volunteer time value.

Fund Category and Dollar Limit Changes:

The Outreach Fund is now combined with the Small Sparks Fund, which will continue to provide support for community building projects with small funding needs, along with the enhancement of more flexible guidelines.

To keep up with rising costs, fund request limits have increased for the Small Sparks Fund up to $1,000 and the Small and Simple Fund up to $20,000 per project.

Application Forms:

The forms have been redesigned to be easier to use, along with simplified questions, fill-in electronic formatting, and simpler work plan and budget forms.

Signatures documenting community match pledges are no longer required for the application stage.

Technical Assistance:

To increase our outreach and assistance to projects, the Neighborhood Matching Fund staff will hold one to two technical assistance workshops every month at various locations around the city.

Our website has been revamped to ease navigation and provide clearer information with the inclusion of a Frequently Asked Questions section. Watch for the launch of our new webpages on December 1. Our website will continue to expand, allowing community members access to NMF advice and technical assistance any time, any day.

As mentioned earlier, our team is continuously looking at ways to enhance our program. We are excited about these improvements and trust you will find them helpful as you, your organization or your neighborhood participate in the NMF.

Support youth philanthropy and service learning throughout the Seattle Metro region Bulletin

Posted by Anna Baldwin

Hello Penny Harvest fans,

Penny Harvest is in need of volunteers to assist with Penny Pick-up in December. Two shifts are available each day (8:15 am – 12:00 pm & 11:15 am – 3:30 pm) on December 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 9th, and 10th.

Volunteers must arrive at the Penny Harvest Office (464 12th Avenue in Seattle) for a brief orientation, travel to participating schools to collect coins and deliver them back to 12th Avenue.

It is helpful for volunteers to have a car they are willing to use, but not necessary. All volunteers must be able to lift 30 pounds.

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the community and learn more about the fantastic work of Penny Harvest students. Please email Maryellen Ferro with your availability before November 24th at maryellenf@... or call 425.961.0765 for more information.

SEATTLE COMMUNITY COUNCIL FEDERATION   http://seattlefederation.blogspot.com/
Thursday, November 19, 2009, 7-9 pm. at NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), Pacific Marine Center on Lake Union, 1801 Fairview Avenue East
(Agenda attached and also below)

FEATURED: 
The Role of the City Attorney’s Office in Representing the Public Interest – A Dialogue with City Attorney Elect Pete Holmes
Pete Holmes surprised many people (including himself) with a landslide victory in defeating incumbent City Attorney Tom Carr.  Prior to his taking office in January, the Federation is pleased to host Pete for a preview of his four-year term.  A key difference in the campaign was his stronger emphasis on the City Attorney as being a public interest advocate and guardian.  That is, Pete Holmes sees his clients as being not just the Mayor and City Council, but also the public—a view espoused by many of the other elected city attorneys around the country.  In a free-ranging presentation and question-and-answer session, Pete will discuss how he will approach his new position, including its potential as advocate for the public interest.   
 
Other Agenda items:
·       An update from Chas Talbot, Operations Manager, Regional Commission on Airport Affairs—Why has there been an upsurge in aircraft noise?  How has Sea-Tac and the Port addressed environmental concerns?

DO YOU VALUE PEACE AND QUIET?  THEN MAKE SOME NOISE!!
 
It's suspiciously quiet down at City Hall this week.   With the public distracted by the budget debate, Mayor Nickels and the City Council are at it again, weakening your protections against excessive noise.  Tomorrow's (Tuesday's) Public Safety Committee will--unless you urge them not to at the 1:30 p.m. comment period--pass Council Bill 116667 which, although strengthening and renaming Seattle Municipal Code Chapter 10.09 to deal with "chronic nuisance properties," totally removes noise from SMC 10.09's current definition of a "public nuisance" that the Police Department can cite and the City can stop and prosecute.   See the agenda here and see the legislation here.
 
The City's past excuse for not using SMC 10.09 to cite, stop, and prosecute chronic noise nuisances was that it needed more power.  Now that C.B. 116667 makes the ordinance stronger, how cruelly ironic that it eliminates your rights to have the ordinance address any chronic noise nuisances!   The Councilmember's have got to keep excessive noise in SMC 10.09's list of what defines a "chronic nuisance property."   
 
The Fiscal Note attached to C.B. 116667 claims that the City retains the ability to act against chronic noise nuisances "pursuant to Revised Code of Washington 7.48," but that state law gives the City no authority over noise, which is not even mentioned.  Also, the City's own Noise Code (SMC 25.08.500) lacks the enforcement  and abatement powers of SMC 10.09.  It will be a tremendous setback for your peace and quiet if the City Council excludes excessive noise from the list of what defines a "chronic nuisance property."
 
Please speak tomorrow afternoon at the Public Safety Committee's Nov. 17 (Tuesday) 1:30 public comment period at Seattle City Hall, 601 Fifth Avenue, second floor.  Please also write the City Councilmembers (best to write to each separately, not address all in one message).  The fax number is (206) 684-8587, and U.S. mail address is P.O. Box 34025 , Seattle , WA 98124-4025.  The voice mail numbers are also given below.  Those voting in the Nov. 17 committee meeting will be Tim Burgess, Bruce Harrell, Nick Licata, and possibly Tom Rasmussen, but there will be an attempt to rush this legislation through the full Council in the coming weeks, so please write all Councilmembers NOW. 
 
ALSO, URGE THE DEPT. OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT, IN ITS PUBLIC MEETING TOMORROW (TUESDAY) NIGHT AND IN A MESSAGE, TO BETTER PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM NOISE (ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT) IN REVISING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
 
Please speak out for strengthening the Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies protecting the public against noise, especially at night.  Be there at tomorrow's kickoff meeting about the Comp Plan--Tuesday, Nov.  17, 6-8 p.m. (presentation at 6:30 p.m.), a the Miller Community Center, 330 19th Ave E (served by Metro Routes 8, 10, 11, 12, 43 and 48).
 
And whether or not you can make it to tomorrow night's meeting about the Comp Plan, please write to DPD, asking them to strengthen the Comp Plan's goals and policies to protect the public from excessive noise, especially at night.  You can e-mail to DPD_CompPlan2030Vision@..., or send U.S. mail to Tom Hauger at DPD, PO Box 34019, Seattle, WA  09124-4019.   For more information on the Comp Plan update:   www.seattle.gov/dpd/Planning/compplan

Dream a Sound Future ImageHello Colleagues,
 
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and Sustainable Seattle's fund raising month is half over.

We have been taking the tact of letting you know what we are doing so you can see why donate?
 
Last week we told you about the latest with B-sustainable.org and our cool new video.  This week we want to tell you about our Seattle Fast Future program area.

Well here it is!

Dream a Sound Future is a design competition that takes design competitions a whole new level. Our steering committee has been paving the way for our community to present radical, innovative and fun visions for our future. Check out more about it on our Dream a Sound Future blog. There you will read about visions and visionaries each month in preparation for the event. This month we feature visionary Bruce Swee and the vision of Kurt Harjo, one of our amazing volunteers. If you want to get involved, email Kezia, the program manager, and another amazing volunteer at kezia.nielson@.... 

We recognize that to reach our vision of sustainability in our natural, built, social and personal environments, we have to ask and create solutions for the hard problems. As part of the Seattle Fast Future program area, we are convening action-oriented meeting on a statement recently overheard "There is no Sustainability without Social Justice and there is no Social Justice without Sustainability."  Check out the meeting minutes on our blog.  To join a meeting, or to bring a representative from S2 to your meeting, email us at info@...

These efforts are just a few more why you should donate! Become a friend today by donating $100 or $8.33 per month for a year.  Click here to donate! We also much appreciate gifts in-kind. Check out our wish list (and our wishes granted list!!!).

Last - Remember to Save The Date of Feb. 11, 2010 for our Film Event! More about that soon.  AND our next open house is December 30th from 5-6 pm. If you missed the last one, come to this one.  We had an awesome turnout, including author Thomas Greco!!!

In gratitute,

Sustainable Seattle

To: The 28,183 signers of Addiction is not a crime; it's a health issue

Dear signers of the “Addiction is not a crime; it's a health issue” petition:

Do you want to see timely news updates and action alerts in your Facebook news feed from cops who no longer support the failed "war on drugs"?

Well, then please become a Fan of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition's Facebook "Page" at: http://www.facebook.com/CopsSayLegalizeDrugs

Facebook Pages allow organizations like LEAP to keep supporters like you updated on what we're up to through the Facebook homepage, just like your friends can.

So, right next to where it says, "Joe Smith wants to know if anyone has a wrench he can borrow," it might say something like, "Law Enforcement Against Prohibition is so happy to report that the Obama administration is officially announcing a new policy of not interfering with state medical marijuana laws today" (just as we actually posted early Monday morning, before any other drug policy groups got a chance to).

So, if you want to stay on top of all the hottest late-breaking "drug war" news, please go to LEAP's Facebook Page at http://www.facebook.com/CopsSayLegalizeDrugs and click to "Become a Fan" if you are not already.

The debate on ending the "war on drugs" has come a long way in recent months, but we can only keep pushing forward toward victory if we have your help.

Dear Colleagues,
 
Today the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing two Florida cases that challenge the policy of sentencing juveniles to life without parole for non-homicide offenses. In the cases of Graham v. Florida and Sullivan v. Florida the Court will consider whether such sentences constitute "cruel and unusual punishment" under the Eighth Amendment.
 
Today's New York Times features an online debate on this issue between Marc Mauer of The Sentencing Project and Kent Scheidegger of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation. Mauer argues that the logic of the Supreme Court's 2005 decision banning the death penalty for juveniles should apply to these cases as well because children are less mature than adults, are more susceptible to negative influences, and possess a unique capacity for reform.
 
The Sentencing Project submitted an amicus brief to the Court on these cases. Also see comments from Ashley Nellis of The Sentencing Project in UPI coverage.
 
Please check our Web site for regular updates on these cases and issues relating to life without parole.
