In an unscheduled visit, Governor Haley spoke with Munday and Brinkley and empathized with the Capobiancos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If you have a child you know that's just like the precious part of your life and so my heart breaks for them, I will be happy to take this,” Gov. Haley said taking the petition. “The federal delegation and I communicate about a lot of things, because it is a federal issue doesn't mean I can't at least say "what are y’all doing about this?" so I'll be happy to ask the questions, be happy to see what's going on if anything.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I'm thankful that she was so receptive to us being there and so compassionate about what's happened,” Munday said after speaking with the governor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This is a matter that affects the people they represent, it represents a South Carolina couple and a South Carolina child and that child needs to be heard so it's great that they are receptive that we're trying to be a voice for Veronica when she can't represent herself,” Brinkley said about lawmakers listening to their concerns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://saveveronica.org/"&gt;SaveVeronica.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; is still taking signatures for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.change.org/petitions/save-veronica"&gt;their petition&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; Lawmakers said they will try to get a copy to the Senate committee that will hear the case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;My Question: &lt;/span&gt;When is the Senate Committee going to hear it? I doubt they have any plans to put it on their agenda - we will need to do lots of pushing to get it there - and lots more to get a fair hearing!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Data-aide.com

To this day, Veronica’s birth mother remains committed to her decision and Veronica has been a thriving child residing in a stable, nurturing environment.&lt;br /&gt;On or around Jan. 4, 2010, the birth father signed papers agreeing to give up his daughter. However, he changed his mind and because he had a small amount of Cherokee heritage, the Cherokee Nation intervened in the adoption proceedings and argued that this happy, healthy two-year-old be transferred to her birth father. Because of the Indian Child Welfare Act, a family court judge ruled in his favor.&lt;br /&gt;The ruling placed the wishes of the birth father and tribe above the best interests of this small child. Child-bonding experts agree that removing her from her home and family would be devastating and have long-lasting consequences. Yet on Dec. 31, 2011, Veronica was handed over&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Data-aide.com

Two years ago Veronica’s Latina birth mother chose Matt and Melanie to love, nurture and raise her child. To this day, Veronica’s birth mother remain&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7nbFnFYV0ms/Tw1RJCs5lfI/AAAAAAAAAGU/mxkjYeBqRXY/s1600/Veronica%2BProfile%2BPic.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 186px; height: 192px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7nbFnFYV0ms/Tw1RJCs5lfI/AAAAAAAAAGU/mxkjYeBqRXY/s320/Veronica%2BProfile%2BPic.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696298319479412210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;s committed to her decision and Veronica has been a thriving, happy child residing in a stable, nurturing environment. On or around Jan. 4, 2010, the birth father signed papers agreeing to give up his daughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, because Veronica has some Cherokee heritage from her birth father’s side of the family, the Cherokee Nation intervened in the adoption proceedings and argued that this happy, healthy two-year-old be transferred to her birth father. Because of a federal law known as the Indian Child Welfare Act, a family court judge ruled that she be immediately transferred to her biological father.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Psychologist who witnessed Veronica's transfer comments on the detrimental effects  -  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://soundcloud.com/apexbroadcasting/baby-veronica?utm_source=soundcloud&amp;amp;utm_campaign=share&amp;amp;utm_medium=blogger&amp;amp;utm_content=http://soundcloud.com/apexbroadcasting/baby-veronica"&gt;Baby Veronica&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; to hear an audio of the interview&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ruling placed the rights of the birth father and tribe above the best interests of this small child. Child-bonding experts agree that removing her from her home and family would be devastating and have long-lasting consequences. Numerous child psychologists stated this would be detrimental to any child. Yet on Dec. 31, Veronica was handed over to her biological father as if a possession without rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We believe that children need protection and should not be removed from loving, nurturing environments. We understand the premise of this law is to protect children; however, in Veronica’s case it has been used inappropriately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Former U.S. senator Jim Abourezk (SD) authored ICWA. &lt;/span&gt;According to the Charleston Post and Courier, after reviewing Veronica's story, Abourezk called the interpretation in this case "something totally different than what we intended at the time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's a tragedy," he said. "They obviously were attached to the child and, I would assume, the child was attached to them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the 2000 census, approximately 75% of people claiming to have American Indian or Alaska Native ancestry live outside the reservation. Further, interracial marriages are a fact of life. It is must be recognized that most children of heritage live off the reservation and have extended family that are non-tribal.  Though supporters of the Indian Child Welfare Act say it has safeguards to prevent misuse, Veronica and numerous other multi-racial children across the U.S have been hurt by it. Children who have never been near a reservation nor involved in tribal customs are affected. The Cherokee Nation alone is currently tied up in about 1,100 active Indian Child Welfare cases involving some 1,500 children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tragically, under the Indian Child Welfare Act:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;1)  Some children have been removed from safe, loving homes and placed in danger&lt;br /&gt;2)  Equal opportunities for adoption, safety and stability are not always available to children of all heritages&lt;br /&gt;3)  The Constitutional right of parents to make life choices for their children, for children of Indian heritage to associate freely, and for children of Indian heritage to enjoy Equal Protection has in some cases been infringed upon.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We want more than anything for Veronica to be allowed to come home. As our elected representatives, we urge you to protect Veronica’s rights in all possible ways as well as make legislative changes that will prevent this from happening to any other child again. While we understand you are unable to interfere in court proceedings, we ask you to speak out on this issue and let your constituents know clearly where you stand. We also ask you to sponsor legislation and encourage fellow Congressmen to support the amending of the Indian Child Welfare Act to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;1. Guarantee protection for children of Native American heritage equal to that of any other child in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;2. Guarantee that fit parents, no matter their heritage, have the right to choose healthy guardians or adoptive parents for their children without concern for heritage.&lt;br /&gt;3. Recognize the "Existing Indian Family Doctrine” as a viable analysis for consideration and application in child custody proceedings. (See In re Santos Y, In Bridget R., and In re Alexandria Y.)&lt;br /&gt;4. Guarantee that United States citizens, no matter their heritage, have a right to fair trials.&lt;br /&gt;    • When summoned to a tribal court, parents and legal guardians will be informed of their legal rights, including USC 25 Chapter 21     1911 (b)“…In any State court proceeding for the foster care placement of, or termination of parental rights to, an Indian child not domiciled or residing within the reservation of the Indian child's tribe, the court, in the absence of good cause to the contrary, shall transfer such proceeding to the jurisdiction of the tribe, absent objection by either parent…”&lt;br /&gt;   • Under the principles of comity: All Tribes and States shall accord full faith and credit to a child custody order issued by the Tribe or State of initial jurisdiction consistent within the UCCJA – which enforces a child custody determination by a court of another State – unless the order has been vacated, stayed, or modified by a court having jurisdiction to do so under Article 2 of the UCCJA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Include well defined protections for Adoptive Parents.&lt;br /&gt;6. Mandate that a "Qualified expert witness" be someone who has professional knowledge of the child and family and is able to advocate for the well being of the child, first and foremost.&lt;br /&gt;7. Mandate that only parents and/or legal custodians have the right to enroll a child into an Indian Tribe. Because it is claimed that tribal membership is a political rather than racial designation, we are asking that parents, as U.S. citizens, be given the sole, constitutional right to choose political affiliation for their families and not have it forced upon them.&lt;br /&gt; • Remove the words “or are eligible for membership in” 1901 (3)&lt;br /&gt; • Remove the words "eligible for membership in" from 1903 (4) (b), the definition of an ‘Indian child’ and replace with the words "an enrolled member of”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Save Veronica Supporters Worldwide&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.saveveronica.org/"&gt;www.saveveronica.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.facebook.com/saveveronicarose"&gt;www.facebook.com/saveveronicarose&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.twitter.com/save_veronica"&gt;www.twitter.com/save_veronica&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Data-aide.com

(This was the first census that took  place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his  own town to register.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;So Joseph also went up from the town  of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David,  because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to  register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was  expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to  be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in  cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in  the inn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Shepherds and the Angels&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch  over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and  the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But  the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of  great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a  Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign  to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel,  praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth  peace to men on whom his favor rests."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said  to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has  happened, which the Lord has told us about."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was  lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word  concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard  it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up  all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds  returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard  and seen, which were just as they had been told.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Luke 2: 1-20 (NIV)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Data-aide.com

&lt;b&gt;The fruit of my womb does not belong to tribal government!!&amp;nbsp; My husband and I did not give birth to our children to benefit Tribal leaders!&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; Our family does not care about Tribal sovereignty. We do not want our children to be used to garner more federal&amp;nbsp; funds for corrupt tribal government. We are US citizens, who are supposed to have rights!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Indian Child Welfare Act is unconstitutional law.&amp;nbsp; Children are being hurt by it.&amp;nbsp; It needs to be changed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;We have 30 days to get 25,000 signatures in order for our petition to be reviewed by the White House.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;November is National Adoption Month&lt;/b&gt; - Let's do this Petition as our part in helping children this month. We need 6250 signatures a week to meet that goal. Let's pray for God's help and get started.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;On Nov 19, Nat'l Adoption Day&lt;/b&gt;, families, adoption advocates, policymakers, judges and volunteers will come together and celebrate adoption in communities across the nation. We are setting a goal of 10,000 signatures by that date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Please Sign the Petition and Use every method you have to share this link&lt;/b&gt; - &lt;a href="http://wh.gov/bvZ"&gt;http://wh.gov/bvZ&lt;/a&gt; - If everyone could get just 10 people to sign the petition and share it with at least 3 of their friends, we'll have it made!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you friends!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TEXT OF PETITION:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;We petition the Obama Administration to:&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lMYbqy94HCY/TrlspCtuDkI/AAAAAAAAAQE/oq8HIEQIYkM/s1600/AFamily+Advocacy+Button.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lMYbqy94HCY/TrlspCtuDkI/AAAAAAAAAQE/oq8HIEQIYkM/s200/AFamily+Advocacy+Button.jpg" width="156" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h1 class="title"&gt;Ensure that Children of tribal heritage are guaranteed protection equal to that of any other child in the United States&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Across America, children who had never been near a reservation  nor involved in tribal customs have been taken from homes they know and  love and placed with strangers chosen by tribal social services. This  includes MULTI-racial children with minimal heritage.&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Because of poorly thought out law called the 'Indian Child Welfare Act';&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: #fce5cd;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;1) Kids have been removed from safe, loving homes and placed in dangerous ones.&lt;br /&gt;
2) Some families, Indian and non-Indian, have felt threatened by tribal gov't and have had no money to get legal help.&lt;br /&gt;
3) Equal opportunities for adoption, safety and stability are not always allowed to children of all heritages.&lt;br /&gt;
4)  Constitutional right of parents to make choices for their families is  being interfered with. Some tribal families don't want to be on the reservation. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Remember – the Christian Alliance for Indian Child Welfare (CAICW) is the ONLY national organization focused on advocating for families &lt;u&gt;who have lost or are at risk of losing children&lt;/u&gt; due to application of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) and has been advocating for families since 2004.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;ALL are welcome to come join and support them there. &lt;u&gt;Come on Wednesday prior and spend a couple days visiting with the offices of your Senators and Representatives - and invite their staff to come attend the Teach-in!&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Also - CAICW has &lt;a href="http://www.samaritanfundraising.com/discount-locations.php"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;SAMARITAN Discount cards&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;available for sale to help with the Teach-in expenses&amp;nbsp; ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

But it's a discussion that even the club's members say is meant to be one-sided. “If Google included people who challenged that debate, they would be wrong to do so,” said Matthew Nisbet, an associate professor for the School of Communication at American University and one of the 21 Google Science Communication Fellows. “As to whether climate change is happening, humans are a cause and it is a problem -- there is no scientific debate over that," Nisbet told FoxNews.com. A review of the 21 Club confirms Nisbet's comment. The group includes meteorologists, communication specialists, and even weather forecasters, as well as few scientists who research climate change for a living. None argue that the planet isn't in imminent danger. Simon Donner, with the University of British Columbia, recently wrote that unless coral reefs learn to adapt, climate change may rapidly bring on their demise. Noah Diffenbaugh of Stanford University recently concluded that "global warming exacerbates poverty vulnerability in many nations," arguing that the cost of food staples in Bangladesh, Mexico, Indonesia and other countries will jump with the temperature. "There is consensus amongst scientists that humans are changing the Earth's climate," reads the mission statement on the Helmuth Lab website, headed up by Brian Helmuth of the 21 Club. From food to rocks to plants to sea life, the 21 Club believes climate change to be a dramatic problem -- one that requires dramatic action. Eugene Cordero with San Jose University even created the Green Ninja, a climate-action superhero who fights global warming. “Our goal is to foster an open dialogue and provide the tools,” argued Amy Luers, the senior environment program manager at Google.org, the non-profit funded by Google, speaking to FoxNews.com. Depending on what the scientists learn, they may develop a system that shows where climate change is occurring on the globe. Or, using technology such as Google Earth, they might map out detailed models showing the effects of climate change. In other words, some day you might be able to find out that the water near Costa Rica is 1 percentage point warmer since 1980, or that Alaska's glaciers have melted … slightly. Google's position toward climate change should not come as a surprise; the company has historically shown a penchant for Democratic causes. As FoxNews.com reported last October, Google gives more to Democratic politicians than to Republicans, for example. &lt;strong&gt;Follow the money&lt;/strong&gt; So what's Google up to, anyway? Part of the motivation seems to be funding new climate change research. Jack Gold, a research analyst, told FoxNews.com that promoting new research often ends up generating new product ideas. He said having good models for climate change can also feed into the company's own data visualization efforts. The company likely sees the search term “climate change” popping up in search results, too. “They are probably reacting to what people are interested in,” Gold said. Jon Peddie, a consumer analyst with Jon Peddie Research, told FoxNews.com that Google may have other motives in mind. “They are pursuing offshore wind farms along the East Coast of the U.S. and probably want to build a solid case for the need to get off oil,” said Peddie. Whatever the reason for the project, Google has big ambitions: Google.org has already doled out about $100 million in grants, mostly to green tech start-ups and alternative energy consortiums. &lt;strong&gt;Google to the rescue? &lt;/strong&gt;Climate studies also involve enormous data sets from many sources and massive computing requirements for data collection. Google has the computing muscle to help analyze that data and make sense of it. “It includes conventional weather data collected by the meteorological services of the world, at the surface of the Earth and in the atmosphere from balloon-borne instruments and satellites," said Richard C. J. Somerville, a research professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, one of the primary sources of climate-change data. "It also includes satellite and ship and buoy data to give ocean temperatures. It includes measurements of glaciers and ice sheets and sea ice, made from satellites and on the ice itself.” Another key purpose is to make climate-change data more “accessible,” to use the parlance of Google's mission statement -- and more discoverable, of course. The company likely has pure motives, tech analyst Roger Kay told FoxNews.com. But Google is also interested in important issues that make the company look good. “This promotes Google’s overall brand, to be associated with problems and perhaps solutions.” And finally, don't forget that it may all come down to business consideration. Remember all those people searching for "climate change"? “Google won’t be able to sell ads if we wipe ourselves out by not mitigating the effects of climate change,” joked Kay.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Data-aide.com

      &lt;p&gt;This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of &lt;a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/disclosure_clicks?oid=1571152'&gt;Boudreaux's Butt Paste&lt;/a&gt;.  All opinions are 100% mine.&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;	Well, my baby Granddaughter needed some help with a diaper rash and the product my daughter had put in her baby bag wasn't cutting the mustard. So I went to the store to see what I could find.&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;	Being a nurse, I remembered how well a cow udder salve had worked on the skin of an elderly, bed-ridden woman I had once attended.  All of us at that nursing home were pretty surprised at how well it worked.  It was the woman herself, having been raised on a dairy farm, who had suggested it.&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;	So I was open to finding something "different" when I perused the pharmacy shelves and "Butt Paste" caught my eye.&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;	And it worked!  It went on clean, soothed her red, chafed, irritated skin, and had a pleasant scent.&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;	With 16% Zinc Oxide as well as Peruvian Balsam - not only is it pediatrician recommended, but it was specifically formulated by a pharmacist with direction from a pediatrician to provide good care of diaper rashes.&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;	The tubes come in several sizes, from 1 oz , 2 oz, and 4 oz Handy travel sizes with flip top caps to a 16 oz. jar.   Visit the site to get your own free sample of  &lt;a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=1902&amp;amp;oid=1571152'&gt;Boudreaux's Butt Paste&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
