Palestinian activists wrongly imprisoned

2011-06-10T13:28:00.001-05:00

Palestinians have been rising up in protest across the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem to demand their freedom. They want the same things as Israelis, the same things that Egyptians fought for in Tahrir Square. But Israel, with the tacit support of the United States is jailing them. Last year it was Abdallah Abu Rahmah, finally released in March of this year. Now it is Bassem and Naji

Thank 37 Senate Democrats for defending Medicaid

2011-06-10T13:24:00.001-05:00

Dear Friend, Democrats have been vocal in their opposition to the Republican attacks on Medicare. But even as recently as this week, major media outlets were speculating about whether Democrats would agree to severe cuts to Medicaid as part of a compromise with Republicans on raising the debt ceiling. Fortunately, Democratic senators are working to put that fear to rest. Yesterday, Democratic

Stop the Slaughter of Yellowstone Bison

2011-02-08T12:31:00.000-06:00

All they wanted was some food. Now some of the last true, wild bison in America face slaughter outside of Yellowstone National Park. These majestic animals – some of the largest land mammals in North America – were driven from the park by harsh winter conditions that have made food more difficult to find in the park. Now it’s up to federal officials to determine whether they will live or die.

Save the honey bees!

2011-02-05T10:02:00.000-06:00

Since 2006, U.S. honey bee populations have been in precipitous decline, with some estimates suggesting losses as high as 30% per year. While that's terrible, the problem is far greater than just the loss of a species. Without bees, our food supply is in serious danger. Pollination by honey bees is key in cultivating the crops that produce a full one-third of our food. A recently leaked memo

Rivals of Jesus:There was a man who cured the sick, performed miracles, was called the son of God and rose from the grave three days after his death. His name was Apollonius of Tyana and he was not unique. We ask why so many preachers and supposed miracle workers appeared by the Mediterranean around the 1st Century AD and why the cult of Jesus won out in Rivals of Jesus. Pasted from <http://
