Did you know that more people die from lack of clean water and sanitation each year than are killed by all forms of violence, including war? nearly 800 million people around the world are living with no access to clean water. 

This December, I hope that you will stand with me in raising money for “charity: water” an organization that applies 100% of the money you donate to clean water projects.

I spend 99% of my time bitching about how awful the world is, so I figure I should at least spend 1% of my time on a project that actually makes the world better. 

Please donate and encourage your friends, family and acquaintances to do the same.

Difference between Industrial Hemp and Cannabis The difference is in its use. Hemp and Marijuana both come from the same plant - Cannabis Sativa L.

Expand the Debate video.

Recording of the live stream debate from last night featuring Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Justice Party candidate Rocky Anderson. They gave their answers to the questions from the Presidential debate between Obama and Romney. Good stuff. 

PS - Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson declined the invitation to be included in this debate.

1 Million Against Amendment 1

hopefulheathens:

The signatures on this have kind of plateaued.  Reblog this because if a post about supporting gay marriage can get 1 million notes on Tumblr, we should be able to get 1 million signatures from Tumblr!

They’re not going to hit 1,000,000. They don’t have a chance. But I’m reblogging anyway because it’s a good cause. 

Who says?  There are way more than only 1 million people who think Amendment 1 is bullshit.  There’s no reason in the world that this petition won’t reach 1 million signatures.  It just needs exposure and for the people who come across it to actually sign it and spread the word.  On Tumblr, on Twitter, on Facebook, every place they can.  Hell, if a lot of people told a celebrity on Twitter about this petition and said celebrity told others about it, think how many signatures that would garner!  I’ve even emailed tips to Perez Hilton about it.  If enough people did that, someone with a bigger platform will be more likely to take notice and spread the word even more.

And now that Obama and Biden have come out in support of same-sex marriage, more and more people all over the country (and probably the world) have equal rights on their minds.  There are millions of people who are fed up with having to fight for equal rights and who would sign this petition in a split second if only they knew about it.  So that’s why we need to spread it in every place we can.

Everyone sign it!
