AgeNation's 'You've Gotta Be kidding'The funding bill that passed in the House last week reads like it was written in the dark ages. It would:

* Prohibit the EPA from setting limits on greenhouse gas pollution from power plants, factories and refineries, among the most  significant sources of greenhouse gas pollution in the United States.
* Prohibit the EPA from collecting information about the sources where greenhouse gas pollution is coming from.
* Eliminate funding for a Climate Service at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

You’ve Gotta Be Kidding!

State Governments Moving To Restrict Voter Registration
There is a movement underway in a number of states to enact restrictive and abusive voter ID laws under a thin veil of “preventing voter fraud.” Legislation already passed in Ohio could deprive nearly 900,000 citizens—mostly seniors, low-income individuals, students, the disabled and people of color—of their voting rights. A similar law was passed in Texas, and more laws are being considered in 20 other states. Call this Democracy? You've Got To Be Kidding!! What do you think?
