National Do Not Call Registry: If you register your phone number/s (wired or cell), they will be blocked from telemarketers and sales calls for five (5) years.
Use MedWatch site to keep abreast of ALL drug and medication warnings, recalls, etc.! In NOV 2006, there was a nationwide voluntary recall of approximately 11 million bottles of 500mg strength store-brand acetaminophen caplets manufactured and distributed under various store-brands. There were small metal fragments found in a small number of these caplets. See list of batches affected. To determine if you are in possession of a recalled product, locate batch number printed on container label. See list of stores that carry store-brands potentially affected by recall. If you believe you are in possession of affected products discontinue use immediately and call Perrigo's Consumer Affairs Department at 877-546-0454 for further instructions. Any adverse reactions experienced with use of this product should be reported to Perrigo at above number and FDA's MedWatch Program by phone at 800-FDA-1088, by fax at 800-FDA-0178, or on MedWatch website. Read full FDA press release. Updated 12/4/06.
National Animal identification System (NAIS): Current participation in this program is voluntary. Eventually it would involve mandatory registration of two types. First, premises registration requiring every person owning even one horse, cow, pig, chicken or any other livestock to register their home. Second, animal identification, where owners will have to obtain a 15 digit ID number per animal that ever leaves the premises of it's birth for purposes of breeding, showing, slaughter, etc. Don't be fooled by claims that this is for disease control. This is another attack on our freedom to grow our own healthy food and be as self-sufficient as possible. Program is spearheaded by Monsanto, Cargill Meat, National Pork Producers, Digital Angel Inc. EZ-ID/AVID ID Systems, and Micro Beef Technologies. These represent the biggest corporate meat producers and makers and marketers of high-tech animal ID equipment, all who stand to profit from this program, both in sales and reduced competition. Ironically, larger meat producers are allowed to register a whole herd, as opposed to single animal registration required for independent animal producers. Read about illegalities of program at Organic Consumers Organization.

"President Bush inherited a budget surplus of $236 billion from President Clinton, the largest surplus in American history. The deficit is now projected to be $337 billion in 2006, not counting new hurricane and war-related spending. The total national debt was $5.7 trillion in 2001, and if tax cuts are made permanent it could reach $11.3 trillion by 2010. We cannot afford to continue down this path of fiscal irresponsibility."

KIXE TV Channel 9 airs Democracy Now! weeknights at 12midnight. This is a national, daily, independent, news program hosted by award-winning journalists Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez. Program provides viewers with access to people & perspectives rarely heard in U.S. corporate-sponsored media. Pioneering largest public media collaboration in U.S., Democracy Now! is broadcast on over 350 radio & television stations nationwide, and now in 10 Northern California counties. Democracy Now! forum is completely independent of corporate or government influence, one of very few on air today, and is the only news program airing on KIXE that is NOT funded by corporate underwriting. It is funded entirely through contributions from listeners, viewers, and foundations and does not accept advertisers or donations from corporations or governments. “For true democracy to work, people need easy access to independent, diverse sources of news & information. The last 2 decades have seen unprecedented corporate media consolidation. In early 80s, some 50 media conglomerates dominated all media outlets (TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, music, publishing, and film). In 2000, just 6 corporations dominated U.S. media! Corporate media outlets in U.S. are legally responsible to their shareholders to maximize profits. U.S. “public” media outlets accept funding from major corporations, as well as from Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Every CPB board member is appointed by White House and confirmed by Senate!" KIXE’s acquisition of Democracy Now! is made possible by generous underwriting from Shasta County’s Citizens for Responsible Government. Underwriting this program will cost $7,000 this year and more next year. If you would like to help CRG keep program on air by making a pledge it would be greatly appreciated. They've made 1st quarter installment, but need all the help they can get.

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind... And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."      ~William Shakespeare
