ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY FOUNDATION, MAYORS FROM ALL OVER THE U.S. KICK OFF TWO MAJOR INITIATIVES ENCOURAGING VOLUNTEERISM

Today in the heart of Times Square, actors and executives representing the Entertainment Industry Foundation (or EIF, the entertainment community’s collective charitable organization) joined New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and 15 mayors from around the country, numerous celebrities, and key service groups to launch two new initiatives aimed at fostering a new era of volunteerism: EIF’s I PARTICIPATE and the mayors’ Cities of Service coalition.

EIF is mobilizing the entire entertainment community around the ground-breaking, multi-year I PARTICIPATE, which will promote a new way of thinking about service [emphasis mine] and seek to persuade millions more Americans to volunteer regularly.* To jumpstart the campaign, Entertainment Industry President and CEO Lisa Paulsen, Tyler Perry and Ashton Kutcher announced its 2009 centerpiece: a week-long television event running from October 19th to the 25th, when America’s most-loved TV shows on ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC and other broadcast networks will spotlight service through scripted programming, segments and PSAs with inspirational messages and storylines about volunteerism. Randy Jackson (FOX), Christine Baranski (CBS), Tim Daly (ABC) and Michelle Trachtenberg (NBC) also participated in the announcement.

“…which will promote a new way of thinking about service…”

is there a way politicians can encourage service and volunteering without being seen as evil? Actual question, not being snide.

I think it looses it's true value when you have to ask people to do it.

education about where service is needed, what service entails, who's involved, and what the benefits are are important issues.

I want to volunteer, but without organizations ASKING for help, I would have no where to really do so in an organized environment.

How is this any different? People promoting ways for people to serve/volunteer to make their communities and country better.

If you believe this is a secret plot to enslave the population, fine. But I'd still like an answer as to how someone in government or politics can promote service and volunteerism without receiving this criticism? Is it possible?

Tax Cheats Bitching About Saving Taxes?

Quote:

Actual question, not being snide.
Boosh was praised by teabogs for soliciting service volunteering in the Liraq War... While draped in cheap Iraqi crude plastic flagery.
I mean Halliburton Asbestos Co. Defense Fund.

First they steal the treasury, now they whine about helping Americans? Coming from the DARE grads, the callousness isn't all that surprising anymore, unfortunately.

Leave it to the Beavers to cry about the idiots shitting in the wells, being reprimanded. How dare you try to regulate them. Caging Polio patients for smoking a doobie. Cheering for the Lieraq trillion dollar Heist. Now cutting the home care funds while a trillion went to bail out the banks and insurance corpses, not covering the workers. The mainstream media says diddly squat. That is only "Liberal" to someone so far right they can not be considered part of the social fabric. They not only don't contribute to the welfare of the people, they protest anyone trying. Thats a sicko.

Of coarse the media has been corporately run for the most part, where have the teabags been? But they back things their slimy greed can cash in. Prohibition, war and health care. You crazy retards protest the hungry, you bitch about asking for volunteers? How the holy fuck is someone going to know about what is needed if you don't ask? What a bunch of kiss ass lapdog slaves. Whine about the rich getting ripped off by regulations keeping them from ripping off? This was all said at the 99 Battle in Seattle. The WTO thieves and same corporate cheats 10 years later. After getting busted. After being Bailed out for ripping countries and their citizens off? American tax payers forking out $300 billion a year in interest on World Bankster loans. Loans to bail out the World Banksters? When the workers pay their welfare bills. Exxon subsidies. Farm Banks. Offshore tax shelters. Walters Philanthropy Roundtable sheltering corporate funds in Madison Ave coke snorting Ad Agencies fabricating commercials keeping the Ganjawar going. Whine about the poor complaining about hunger and homelessness. Sicko is right.

Weird fucking strange proud slaves near as I can figure. You know teabog ditties, you got to stop thinking rush or glen or big "O" are anything more than talking heads. I certainly don't think Biraq Obomba isn't taking as much advantage of any given situation as he can. The difference is, as long as he is doing it for "we the people", not international corporations and governments, then its a different situation. Staying stagnant breeds the mosquito's like those buzzing around here. The O's and Oxybog Limpdic's and X-Lush dry drunks like Beck really don't have a special line to Jesus. They make money, thats it. You don't see any of it and yet you believe them without question. Without a thought to what you're actually even saying. Global warming is a physical act, CO2 is as measurable as Hemp tensile strength or medicinal properties of Ganja. You're screaming in the dark and the only answers you get are from other blind obedient fools screaming the same old shit back.

I know you got an email about just stealing the oppositions words and using them. But it only works on one sided conversations, like TV and Radio. Your asking us for pity because the torture victim bled over your new carpet? You think Al Gore made up Global Warming to profit on what. emission filters? Ya think its optional for kids to breath clean air. Thats called dysfunctional. Idiot wealthy racists are the GOP base, republicans are jumping ship for libertarians and those that are serious, democrats. Pendulum will tilt again because party junkies can't put down the emails long enough to read the reality.

The Ganjawar is a good metaphor for everything crooked and slimy about the WTO corporatists bastardizing the governments. Not anything and everything in the government. Trying to blame NAFTA, meaning GATT, is still moot. NAFTA/GATT is in league with the Prison Industrial Complex, Military Industrial Complex, Pharmaceutical/Pesticide Industrial Complex. Cheap labor. Cheap fuel. GOPerverts paranoid of workers getting a living wage that would stimulate the economy and the Liberty of decent affordable health care. Same assholes pushing Hemp as a #1 narcotic. Same Un-American traitors keeping Ganja a schedule#1 narcotic. Same Teabog didiots protesting for AIG Golden Parachutes. Same fucking Fascists playing their same fascism games.



But now its getting downright silly when you think Peace Corps or protecting Civil Liberties is somehow Russian Gulags Fluoridating prisoners to quell riots or Hitler Youth Corps, like DARE graduating flappy's with high honors. Censoring school books of the word Hemp. Or teaching of the Indian Hemp Tribes before Columbus, all controlling the propaganda media, fools think its "Liberal" and that is exactly why it perpetuates. The more people working, the more taxes for Infrastructures, Health Care and Traditional Organic Peace and Prosperity. Contrary to insane Booshcrats, its ok to help your neighbor without upsetting Wallmart St. It's ok to be nice just for the hell of it and not ok to mandate profit on misery caused and maintained for the sole sake of profit.

Outlawing Ganja/Hemp keeps G-20 International Imperialism with 95% of the World Coinage, while the tax payer shuts down programs for the disabled and elderly. Same redneck moneysluts following the dick army and Pesticide Killers like Delay, are spreading gossip about the dangers of Ganja. Selling poisons and Calvina Straight Inc Asylums. The children of Hitler's Nazi's. Still fighting GI's, only this time in the states, slowly, for a fee. Then the crackers and klans bow down to the neon gods they made. Warehousing Neurological Illness and running home care cost beyond blue collar ability is aiding the Warehouse growth market. Cheap non English maintenance workers assembly line care for your loved ones. 20 to 1 ratios, losing the home they built. Vets working playing fair then hit with Parkinson or MS or a Stroke. Homecare agencies 24 7 are hundreds of thousands a year. Who gives a shit? Trains leaving on schedule as it stands and you think its becoming a bias media now?

Sicko's is all I can think of calling these wealthy fear mongering memo readers, their spoiled selfish brats giving them praise. Chickenhawks sending others kids to die for their Oil dividends. Chickenlittles gossip keeping the war on plants going. Chickenshits for standing by, and flat out Cowards getting paid to terrorize Americans. Let alone sick and dying Americans. Curse on y'all, spitooey!

Pitifuckingfools are killing my country and I wish you could take off the blinders and see yourselves. Disgraceful. Tsk tsk tsk.

Think the "Liberal" media might be as concerned about actual destruction of families and cities from the drug war alone. Now the LAPDogs panting at the DA drooling about busting sick people buying pot in Apothecaries. Same greedy minority of plastic tugging the nose-ring of the sheople.

Cotton – How bad is it?
HTnaturals offers you organic and eco friendly fashions!

Q. Most agricultural crops use insecticides. What’s the big deal about cotton?

A. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), more insecticides are used on cotton than on any other crop. In fact, cotton uses 24 per cent of all insecticides applied globally - that’s 495 million pounds each year. Closer to home, cotton consumes 60 per cent of all insecticides applied in the USA - or 60 million pounds each year.

Q. Cotton’s proportion of insecticide use is similar to other crops, isn’t it?

A. No. Cotton covers 2.4 per cent of the world’s farmland, but uses 24 per cent of the world’s insecticides, according to the World Wildlife Federation.

Q. But these insecticides are safe, aren’t they?

A. No. They are some of the most toxic and persistent chemicals we put into the environment. According to Will Allen of the Sustainable Cotton Project, “Of the top 15 chemicals used in California cotton farming, seven of them cause cancer and all but one cause birth defects.” continued...

The Lie of Balance
With the exception of occasional investigative articles or self-styled "analyses," modern journalism too often reverts to a formula where "fairness" and "balance" - to use the famous buzz words - prevail over "honesty" or "truth."
