What  if Martin Luther King gave up on his dream and then gave up on his people in his community.  What if Harriet Tubman gave up on her dream and mission. In nature only the weak give up because it is a death sentence. The pup that refuses water to drink will surely die. Rest assured I will never give up

In September 2009 I observed about Chicago... from The Reader: "Under Daley the city has embarked on aggressive tree planting, installed a green roof atop City Hall, and mapped out an ambitious plan to slash greenhouse gas emissions—but failed to ensure basic recycling services, force dirty power plants to clean up, or confront the city's traffic and transit problems... it did nothing to force the coal-fired power plants on the southwest side to cut emissions."

Citizen activism appears to have improved in Chicago, since then... citizens have become environmentalists, refusing to allow government to sustain dirty coal pollution and bad public health there.

That coal pollution has gone unchecked in Chicago, and will have broadly expanded in Illinois under Obama leadership in Illinois and the White House, may well put a nail in the coffin of Barack Obama's presidential aspirations for 2012... and this issue should keep Obama's right-hand-man Emanuel from succeeding in his pursuit to rule over the millions of poisoned citizens of Chicago, as mayor... and should stand in the way of Obama lifting Alexi Giannoulias into Obama's former Senate seat in Illinois, in November.

As the Obama administration continues the Bush doctrine to deny government responsibility to protect citizens from pollution.... Jeff Biggars asks, on AlterNet: "Will Rahm Emanuel and Other Chicago Mayoral Candidates Join the Clean Energy Race?"

Here's your choices for candidate for the November 02, 2010 election... Have you done your homework on the candidates & issues? 

As I recently wrote on realNEO, regarding legalizing medical marijuana in Ohio, Governor Ted Strickland “feels that the predominant opinion of the medical community is that there are existing medicines available that provide appropriate patient care. So based on that opinion and the current research, he feels this type of legislation doesn’t seem necessary or warranted.“

Yet "tens of thousands of sick people throughout California find relief from scores of ailments by using cannabis because this plant has so many healing qualities", according to Raymond Cushing's posting on Alternet - Prop. 19 Offers Major Potential for Some Cancer Patients.

So who is right... citizen-oriented AlterNet or our Governor, now seeking reelection.

On AlterNet we learn:

What begs discussion on the occasion of California’s historic vote, which the whole world is watching, is that cannabis has been shown in hundreds of laboratory studies over the past ten years not only to be physiologically harmless, but also to be the most potent anti-cancer agent found in nature. No other natural substance holds the cancer-stopping power of cannabis and that's a proven fact.

Federal prosecutors want more information on former Cuyahoga County Auditor Frank Russo's top aides

Legal Medical Marijuana from Broadway Wellness Medical Marijuana dispensary in South Denver, Colorado

How is it conceivable, in America today, that a seriously ill patient in Boulder, Colorado, may grow, purchase and have a medicine cabinet full of state-licensed medical marijuana (MMJ), while a similarly-ill patient in Cleveland may be imprisoned for pursuing the same medical treatment?

How, in the free-wheeling capitalist US of A, could some states and communities encourage free men and women to be MMJ-millionaires and patients, while MMJ-entrepreneurs and adherents in other markets are arrested... nearly 1 million of them a year.

Why would anyone choose to live in a state of Cannabis denial?

Richard Cordray evidently is getting on the ball about filing INJUNCTIONS on these banks for ROBO document issues....

Interesting to recognize that these MASTER PLANS are now available....wonder how many citizens even have a clue about these plans for their futures??? It might amaze you to read up on plans created as far back as 1992, 1996, 1999...and 2010...they've been doing this for years under an actual "MASTER PLAN" methodology!!! Amazing how they communicate with the actual citizens/stakeholders about these plans...NOT! 

ARE ANY OTHER FAMILIES CONCERNED ABOUT THIS MATTER??? ARE YOU AWARE THAT THERE ARE MANY SCHOOLS NOT LISTED ON THE SHERIFF'S WEBSITE??? WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE??? PLEASE POST YOUR DIRECT OPINIONS ON THIS MATTER BELOW SO THAT WE MAY COLLECTIVELY ENGAGE OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS AND ADDRESS THIS MATTER IMMEDIATELY! 

One of the greatest tricks about living in Northeast Ohio is preventing harmful lead poisoning exposure for children and adults living here - some neighborhoods of Cleveland still have around 30% of children showing harmful levels of lead in their blood, causing permanent physical and mental harm. So it is appropriate the United States Senate has declared the week before Halloween - October 24-30 - as National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, which "calls upon the people of the United States to observe National Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Week with appropriate programs and activities."

In the spirit of the millions of Americans harmed by lead poisoning over the years, now dead and haunting those who cause such environmental harm on Earth today... may 2010 be the year when Northeast Ohio leaders get serious about protecting our children and adults from the trick of lead poisoning, as that is the greatest treat they may ever give to this community and themselves.

Was this reported in Cleveland?

When politicians like Barack Obama, Ted Strickland, George Voinovich, Sherrod Brown, Marcia Fudge, Frank Jackson, Gary Norton and our councilpeople speak of the promise of "Clean Coal" and carbon capture and sequestration, ask the politicians how to safely capture coal slurry... especially after it has spilled... as that skill is needed in Ohio today. On October 1, 2010, Murray Energy (of Pepper Pike, Ohio) spilled 1,000s of gallons of toxic coal slurry into an Ohio stream, as reported by the Sierra Club in the video above. That is the same Murray Energy responsible for the collapse of the Crandall Canyon mine, in 2007, which "was so extensive, federal officials found no other mining disaster in the last 50 years to compare to it."

Was this reported in Cleveland?

The Sierra Club asks citizens to help stop Murray Coal from doing even more harm to our environment in Ohio...

Researching the EXTRAORDINARY NETWORK of Cleveland based organizations who are running full time staffs of people to help families in distress from the foreclosure industry has created jobs for those folks-while sending families in a whirlwind of agency chases, application processes, and network nightmares to ascertain direct assistance and relief...often times resulting in nothing more than denials, deferments, referrals, and wasted time that results in losing homes anyway....

Stock piling LLC's with real estate....1300 East 9th is now owned by OPTIMA 1300, LLC.... watch the way the word OPTIMA results in almost 50 County Recorder listings...connect the dots! 

Figure 1. Seasonal-mean temperature anomalies relative to 1951-1980 mean for the
most recent two summers and winters.

Climate Progress has a link today to an excellent report by NASA's top climatologist, Dr. James Hansen - “How Warm Was This Summer?” (copied below), which confirms that 2010 is equal to the hottest year on record, resulting in more extreme natural disasters worldwide this year, and forecasts worse impacts of climate change several years into the future, predicting "it is likely that 2012 will reach a record high global temperature." Meaning:

Given the association of extreme weather and climate events with rising global temperature, the expectation of new record high temperatures in 2012 also suggests that the frequency and magnitude of extreme events could reach a high level in 2012. Extreme events include not only high temperatures, but also indirect effects of a warming atmosphere including the impact of higher temperature on extreme rainfall and droughts. The greater water vapor content of a warmer atmosphere allows larger rainfall anomalies and provides the fuel for stronger storms driven by latent heat.

The bottom line boils down to these people learned the games that could be played after years of being politicians...then they collaborated with friends for long term investment strategies....they lobbied the government to change laws that would protect their stakeholders and then they implemented their mechanism to "GET RICH OFF THE PEOPLE" locally....

In states where medical marijuana is legal, there are a wide range of jobs created in diverse industries, including healthcare, food preparation, pharmaceutical research and development, retail, and agriculture.  In Ontario, Canada, there are over 100,000 jobs associated with marijuana cultivation alone - and most of the marijuana grown there is exported illegally to America.

A 2010 Pew poll found approximately 40% of Americans have tried Marijuana, about the same number believe marijuana should be legalized outright, and 73% of Americans - over 7 in 10 - believe medicinal marijuana should be legalized. Those polling numbers say the writing is on the wall - marijuana is becoming mainstream industry in America, as Americans get their way nationwide! Where marijuana is legal, it is a high-growth economic engine churning activity in many clusters.

Life is what we make of it. Fun is a matter of opinion. My friends used to say: "GO HAVE FUN!"

So, I'd go research, learn, and share as much as possible...

They said, "Go have fun!" I attended community forums, starting sharing the information, and working to unite our citizens about the issues at hand. 

What fueled my campaign to reform Social Injustice across Cuyahoga County? 

In 1973, Edward M. Mangini MURDERED my brother Paulie who was 3 years old. He beat my brother so severely that the autopsy should only be viewed by those with the gumption to hold it in...

He was convicted in January 1974 via Cuyahoga County case number: CR 73009419-2A and his date of birth is September 19, 1947. Judge John J. McMahon allegedly gave him 1 year in the City workhouse....with weekends off for a brutal, hanous, and irreversible murder of an innocent child.
