Hi Ray,
The crisis in Myanmar is growing, and we need your
voice today to help get international aid to the
Burmese people. Please sign our petition today, and
then ask your friends to do the same:
go.care2.com/e/4vw8/UrYQ/qMBD
Up to 100,000 people may have been killed in last
weekend's cyclone in Myanmar. At least 1.5 million
people are homeless or at risk. Yet the military junta
ruling Myanmar is dragging its feet on allowing
international aid and workers into the country to
deliver desperately needed food and supplies to the
suffering Burmese people.
We can't stand by and watch more people die because
their government refuses to act. Sign our petition to
the Embassies of Myanmar to urge them to make sure
international aid reaches the people of Myanmar immediately:
go.care2.com/e/4vw8/UrYQ/qMBD
Thank you for acting now,
Rebecca Young,
Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team

Dear Friend,
1. 30 year rule review
The Campaign for Freedom of Information has responded to the review of
the 30 year rule set up by the Prime Minister. The response summarises
the 7 Information Tribunal decisions to date dealing with advice or
internal discussion and points out that in almost every case the
Tribunal has held that disclosure should have taken place at the time
of the request, a few years or months after the decision. It says that
such material should in future be proactively released after 15 years,
though if necessary, the reduction could be brought in in two stages,
starting with 20 years initially.
The full submission can be downloaded from www.cfoi.org.uk/pdf/cfoi_30yr_submission.pdf
(462 kb).
2. Survey of FOI requesters
The Constitution Unit, based at University College London, is carrying
out a survey of FOI requesters and is keen to hear the views of anyone
who has used the Act. The survey is part of a research project aimed
at evaluating the impact of the Freedom of Information Act on central
government.
If you would like to take part in this survey, you can complete it
online at http://tinyurl.com/622yto. Or, for further information,

What effect does the dropping of the 10% tax band make on the lowest paid? I cannot believe that a Labour, albeit New Labour, can do this to their own core vote. Personally, I could never vote for the Conservative Party having survived the Thatcher years, but who do we vote for to create a fairer society?
Right - have a suspicion the men-in-suits MPs have a different agenda - i.e representing the greedy & pervy rich; maybe check ukrich, real-life, reptiles and maybe below.

From: Ad Hoc National Network to Stop Foreclosures and Evictions Subject: Action Alert: Moratorium Now! Tell the House and Senate Bankingand Finance Committees
TELL THE HOUSE AND SENATE BANKING AND FINANCE COMMITTEES: MORATORIUM ON FORECLOSURES AND EVICTIONS NOW!
Please tell the House and Senate Banking and Finance Committee you want a Moratorium on Foreclosures and Evictions NOW!
Sign the petition below and send it to President Bush, Members of the House and Senate Banking and Finance Committees, Congressional leaders, your own Congressional delegation, and media representatives!
Dear member of the House and Senate Banking and Finance Committees:
I call on Congress to enact an immediate emergency moratorium on home foreclosures and evictions. Moreover, until the Mortgage Bankers Association agrees to an immediate moratorium on home foreclosures and evictions, I call on members of Congress to refuse to meet with representatives of the MBA during the Association's scheduled lobbying day on Thursday, April 17.
People from across the country who are facing the prospect of losing their homes will be demonstrating in front of the Mortgage Bankers Association's annual policy conference in Washington D.C. on April 16, to demand that the Association formally endorse a call for such a moratorium.
The speedy, expensive, and extraordinary action that the Federal Reserve Bank took in response to the Bears Stearns crisis a few days ago is, in reality, tantamount to a government-enacted moratorium on bank failures.
Congress has its own proposals for bringing relief to people at risk of losing their home. However, none of the proposals are as sweeping, immediate and effective as a moratorium.
The Fed's action required no legislation, no hearings, no studies, no half measures, and no time lag. Why is it, then, that a similar moratorium on home foreclosures and evictions cannot be enacted to stop the largest number of home foreclosures since the Depression of the 1930s?
By refusing to meet with representatives of the MBA on April 17, you will be helping the mortgage banking industry wake up to the fact that they can no longer avoid, ignore, or continue to resist the popular and human demand that they simply stop evicting families from their homes.
Sincerely,
(Your signature)
SIGN THE PETITION
Tell the House and Senate Banking and Finance Committee you want a Moratorium on Foreclosures and Evictions NOW!

Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2008 11:09:02 +0100 Subject: Serious warning about the Freemasons From: kim stirling
Protect your children today, warn them about the Secret Societies now, before it's too late. The Masons badly want to mind-control as many kids as possible to protect their power and control. Freemasonry is a
dangerous criminal cult, network, organisation.
They will tell your kids it's all good when in fact it is the opposite. Your kids will become Masonic drones/slaves and they in turn will destroy your whole family and society with it. How can one person talk to another, knowing this evil is out there ?
People don't realise that Freemasonry is also Mormons, Opus Dei,
Jehovah's Witnesses, Common Purpose, Round Table, Speculative Society,
Knights of St. Columba, Rotarians, Shriners, Co-Masons, Eastern Star
(female masons), etc.
Do not listen to one word from a Mason's mouth. They can only repeat or
defend their brainwash, they are told nothing else. They are also sworn
to protect each other. They have been dehumanised and will only listen
to their twisted Masonic Controllers.
The Freekmasons use hundreds of different names worldwide to confuse
and deceive. We have challenged them all over the Net (13 months ago)
to come and talk to their victims in front of a live, filmed audience
and they have refused, because it's all true.
Checkout www.secondfamily-uk.com, www.ljpr.info, www.henrymakow.com, www.rense.com, www.ivanfraser.com - Far too many to list here, just follow the links and read the truth for
yourselves. Your future depends on this knowledge.
Our advice to all members of this criminal organisation is to leave
immediately, modern technology will expose "YOU".
Contact your local politician or media, this has to be banned
immediately. Please forward this to everyone you care about. ASAP

We are all victims of Freemasonry and Common Purpose
Every person who works within TV, Newspapers and Radio are all helping
the Masons. By not investigating or reporting about this criminal
organisation, they are helping this evil. They are not clever enough to
realise they are shooting themselves in the foot (big time). They are
turning us all (themselves included) into slaves and tax generators for
the corrupt establishment. So if you know someone in the media, ask
them how can they sleep in their Masonic owned bed ? They have been
withholding the truth for far too long, so don't buy, watch or listen
to their (foaming at the mouth) fed lies any more. Isolate them until
they cure the problem. The same goes for your local politician, these
people are supposed to be trusted but seem to be blinded by cash and
self preservation.

effectively destroy your own protection as well. D.R. Ray.

Subject: [PNEWS-L] Europeans - Current statistics show Animal Testing up by 3.2%
Latest figures show Animal Testing is up overall by 3.2% to 12.1 million in 2005. This is despite European Commission and member state's individual promises to reduce and replace the use of animals
in experiments.
Some details for 2005:-
Dogs 22,000
Cats 3,600
Primates 10,394
Mice 6 million 53%
Rats 2.2 million 19%
Birds 650,000 5.4%
Rabbits 300,000 2.6%
Cold Blooded Animals 1.8 million 15%
Guinea Pigs 240,000 2.1%
The European Commission is currently reviewing Directive 86/609/EEC, which sets out the rules for animal experimentation across the whole of Europe. There is still time to make a difference to the final draft.
The European Commission itself acknowledges that non-animal replacements "...have the potential to provide robust information through quality-controlled, state-of-the-art tests which are faster and less cost-intensive than classical animal-based tests".
Many non-animal research techniques exist that are cheaper, quicker and more effective than Animal Testing. A few are molecular research, computer simulations, tissue and organ culture and use of micro-organisms such as bacteria. It is in all our interest that Animal Testing is replaced with Alternatives based on Human Biology not Animals.
For evidence that superior Alternative Research & Testing is replacing Animal Testing visit

Contact your MEPs and urge them to make Alternative Research a priority as part of the revision process of Directive 86/609/EEC.

Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:44:35 +0000 Subject: High Court upholds Information Tribunal EIR decision
Dear Friend,
The High Court has dismissed the government's appeal against the Information Tribunal in the first case of its kind under the Environmental Information Regulations. The Tribunal had ruled that the Export Credits Guarantee Department should disclose the submissions it received from other government departments in 2003 about the so-called "Sakhalin project". This involved a $650 million project to extract oil and gas off the coast of the Sakhalin island, north of Japan,
which involved risks to the survival of grey whales, an endangered species. Friends of the Earth had applied for the submissions under the EIRs.
The Information Commissioner had originally accepted ECGD's arguments that the responses should be withheld under regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIRs, which applies to internal communications. However, the Tribunal agreed with FOE that the balance of public interests favoured disclosure. ECGD appealed against the Tribunal's decision but the High Court today (March 17th) dismissed the appeal. The court, whose role is limited to hearing appeals on points of law, found that although Tribunal had made some errors they were not critical and that overall the decision was "made in accordance with the law". It is not yet known whether the government will appeal to the Court of Appeal.
Earlier this month the High Court heard the first appeal involving the Freedom of Information Act's exemption for policy formulation (section 35(1)). The Tribunal had ruled that the balance of public interest favoured disclosure of the so-called "gateway review" of the ID cards scheme. The decision has been challenged in the High Court by the Office of Government Commerce.
In a surprise development, the Attorney General has intervened in this case on behalf the Speaker of the House of Commons, arguing that the Tribunal's decision breached Parliamentary privilege by quoting a House of Commons select committee report in support of its finding. Counsel for the Attorney General argued that the Tribunal could not accept a select committee report as evidence without also allowing other parties to the appeal to challenge its findings, but this would breach the 1689 Bill of Rights prohibition against a court questioning statements made in Parliament.
Ironically, the 2004 report from the works and pensions select committee had questioned whether "the current levels of secrecy are necessary".
The High Court's decision in this case is expected after Easter.
The Tribunal's decisions can be downloaded from:
