Meagan Good's Pedicured Toes

petition collection stand on current issues

Here is an overview of where we currently less than one minute each can contribute:

Avaaz.org has started some time ago a petition on genetic engineering the goal. is reached that the use of genetically modified Crop is at least stopped until enough reliable research results confirm that GM crops are actually beyond reasonable doubt harmless. With 1 million signatures of citizens of Europe, a formal draft law be submitted for consideration by the European Commission. Currently there are more than 777 000 valid signatures, actually, more than 900,000, but include only the particular writers who have stated the full name, address, email address, nationality and date of birth. Do not worry, the transmission of data runs over HTTPS, and just showing your name.

Also at Avaaz.org: one of the many anti-nuclear petitions . Goal is 100,000 signatures, then full-page newspaper advertisements appear.

The regression on nuclear these days is a huge issue, accordingly, great as is the selection of petitions to do so. With this course Campact that allow you, a chic pre to appeal to Chancellor Merkel (over 73,000 participants) is. Also via Robin Wood you can send an appeal to the Chancellor.

At this point, the reference to the anti-nuclear demonstration in Berlin on 09/18/2010 . have called for all organizations and alliances, the ranking and names: Campact, Robin Wood, Attac, Alliance 90/The Greens, IG-Metall, SPD, NABU, BUND and and and. Already is emerging: the demo with the aim to encircle the entire government district, is HUGE, much larger than at the start of planning thought. This Ökospiesser here is due to a family party not attend it, but whoever has the time and inclination to participate in this event and to go to Berlin, which can do this for little money: information on special trains, buses and carpooling be found here . MAKE SOME NOISE!

Why it pays to take part in all anti-nuclear actions? Basically it can be under 100 good reasons read containing 100 good reasons to argue against nuclear power. Even worse, in my view, however, that the federal government yielded to their decision on nuclear power plant life extension with the greatest insolence of the nuclear lobby and thus ignored the will of the absolute majority of its citizens. And how now been found despite all efforts by the government secrecy ha t, the contract turned out much nuclear-friendly than first thought and sees, for example, before the relaxation of security conditions! I am of the opinion that one must use all legal means to prevent the Government for its citizens completely alien to show the red card behavior.


still an issue that should not be forgotten: deep-sea oil drilling . BP is planning in the Mediterranean (virtually on our door) off the coast of Libya in the near future to drill at a depth of more than 2,000 meters for oil. Other hand, you can insert in Campact protest ; Greenpeace a general campaign against ocean drilling is the world .


And last but not least, a subject which encouraged me indignant or-depending on which side I listen to straight- Stuttgart 21. I find it just unbelievable, unbelievable on the one hand, how the relevant Politicians in the run gemauschelt and have undermined democracy, and incredibly, on the other side, frantically has developed the protest against it. A prime example of civil disobedience, and for the otherwise rather brave Stuttgart! I am amazed at how vehemently, tough and well-organized protesters occur, and comes with the risk for the park and an environmental component into the game I also grab this issue on the Ökospiesser page. I recommend the site terminus -21, can not be the only listed reasons against the planned underground transit station, but also argue for the expansion of the existing terminal station. One should in my opinion to be not just anti, but also have just one alternative in the sleeve, and there is in this case, too. Participate in part site tells you what you can do concretely to support the protest. There is also the page protectors Park, which also can be your signature by the park guards.

Sorry for the compressed-mail each issue a separate blog entry deserves, but unfortunately I lack the time for it right now.
