Texas politics killing Texas families
Can Texas Secede from the Union? No...Right wing stupidity aside, this is just treasonous BS. Seriously. Since when did Texas become un-American? If the anti-democracy Republicans think this will win them voters, I think they are very, very mistaken...more on this subject: Sen. Rodney Ellis Calls on Rick Perry to Clarify Texas Secession Remarks...and more: Rep. Jim Dunnam Replies to Gov. Rick Perry's Talk of Texas Secession...and more: House Democrats Take Anti-Secessionist Stand. So far seems only a handful of extremist Republicans are jumping on this anti-America bandwagon of Perry's. I am sure Hutchinson will tear him apart over this one. I may disagree with her, but she is not insane like Perry.
Vaccination Changes for Texas Children 2009
The Trial of Bryan Shaw
Obama's WH Science Advisor Deplores Texas Science Standards...so do American scientists!
Hearing Set for Sharon Keller Impeachment Resolution
Lawsuit Claims KBR Responsible for Deaths of US Troops in Iraq...Remember this is a Halliburton subsidiary that got no bid contracts from the Republicans year after year DESPITE their negligence killing American troops...Illinois is fighting back. Maybe Texas should stand up for our troops as well.
Documentary on Johnny Garrett, Innocent Person Executed in Texas...I am not anti-death penalty in principle. But the way it is applied in the US is unfair and has put innocent people on death row. Until it can be reformed properly, I believe there should be a moratorium on executions in America
Nick Lampson for NASA Administrator
Oh. Like Abstinence Only Education Works???? Texas Still in the Dark Ages...and on a related note: Science Loses In Texas - Again. What is with Texas? This is the 21st century. You'd think science would mean something in America today!

Here are some alternative energy groups and events:
Some statistics from Repower America:
* Texas' wind energy accounts for close to one-third of the nation's total installed wind capacity.
* If Texas' solar potential was fully realized, the state could generate up to 40% of its electricity from rooftop applications, as well as 70% from solar thermal systems.
* The state's energy efficiency programs save enough electricity to power almost 30,000 homes for a whole year, save more than $51 million in energy costs, and prevent the greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to taking over 46,000 cars off the road. Although great progress, the state still has much more potential to increase its energy efficiency.
Alternative energy and YOUR energy bill: YOU can be part of the solution for America by signing up to purchase your energy through a Green Power Provider. My wife and I have been doing this in NYC for years. All our energy usage is provided through wind energy generation on American farms. So we use clean energy AND help American farmers. It costs us three cents per kilowatt-hour more per month, but we feel great about it. Although our actual energy may come from anywhere, we are paying to purchase wind energy for the energy grid. Each state has different programs available, usually through yuor existing energy provider right on your existing energy bill. To find such options in Texas, go here and pick your energy provider from the list. If you need help, you can email me and tell me who you get your bill from (don't give me any other info!) and I can tell you who to contact to go green through that energy provider. Or you can do the same thing using Renewable Energy Certificates through an organization that works with utility companies, though in this case it is a separate bill. One off the cheapest (.4-1 cent per kilowatt-hour), but still e-Green certified, ways to do this is through Good Energy. Or, for about half a cent per kilowatt-hour you can purchase renewable energy certificates through Carbonfund.org. ANY of these ways you do it, you are helping the environment, helping America, and helping cut carbon emissions.
Texas Solar Energy Society: The TXSES mission is : To increase awareness of the potential of solar energy and other renewable energy applications and to promote the wise use of sustainable and non-polluting resources. Find local chapters here. Check out their calendar for upcoming events.

Texas Food Co-ops:
It took nearly 7 years living within a few blocks of one of the biggest food co-ops in America before Joy and I joined it. We were definitely reluctant. But, in the end the lack of good produce and the decline of our local supermarkets led to us joining. And the result is a slighly more inconvenient shopping trip each week, but much healthier, higher quality and cheaper food. I recommend joining a co-op if there is one nearby. You will save money and eat healthier. Here are a few co-ops I could find in Texas:
Wheatsville Food Co-op

Austin, Texas 78705

yaya@wt.net
http://www.centralcityco-op.org/
Imagine communities of people coming together each week in different parts of the city to purchase high quality, organic food at reasonable prices. This was the dream of Jennifer Georgantas and Patricia Greer in September 2001 as the idea for Central City Co-op was born. With the help of numerous volunteers both then and now, the dream has become a reality.
We believe that everyone has a divine right to organic food and that organic food should be available at reasonable prices--that one day there will be co-ops throughout the city that provide locally grown, high quality, organic produce to people on a weekly basis. We offer as much produce as possible from local sources that embrace the practice of compassionate and chemical free growing.
Central City Co-op offers a space--if only for a moment--where people come together as a community. Join us!
