Shandi ~ You're completely right! Burn-out is a HUGE problem for each of us...especially for volunteer advocates attempting to budge (nudge) the entrenched status quo.

From my observations, I'm...

Spam1 ~ I'm glad you made this comment. Hadn't even occurred to me that one might assume the on-line form carried no weight. Actually, this on-line petition is not simply symbolic as you may have...

I was coming to post the same info today. Surprised not more folks are expressing 'gratitude' for this post?

Hey! Everyone ~ This is NOT a ballot issue, so ANY Sonoma county resident over age 18...

More PROGRESS on the LabelGMOs Journey.... (from Pamm Larry)

The unimaginable happened today - SB 1381 California's GMOs Labeling bill made it out of the Health Committee!

[Yay! :Clap: More...

Agreed...anyone considering solar needs to talk to several contractors. I met with 5 solar installation companies, several of whom were building contractors, not electrical contractors. We chose a...

TOTALLY agreed! Thank-you for voicing this subject for open discussion.

Personally, I've been strongly opposed to nuclear energy generation / nuclear weapons / etc. since the early 1980's. The...

A brave group of Monsanto shareholders are making a stand -- Harrington Investments Inc. is telling Monsanto to come clean [about GMO risks], and they need other big shareholders to back them.

Fascinating stats Kamal.

The thing about wine is it's not food...or necessary (not to even address the fact that many folks have issues with managing their alcohol intake). Perhaps if all of us...

I'm just shy of RAVING if one considers these issues 'bogus'...

OR ALERT-AWARE, able to see patterns-connections, willing to educate myself on 'real' facts/science behind the major media...

SW ~ Do you have this video posted on Facebook? I have a couple of vocal pro-active 'scientifically-minded' buddies there that need more education IMO. Thanks!

Friends of GMO Labeling and Democracy,

The TPP is amping up so we need to, too. (Please share this alert with your family and friends and cohorts.)

Hi Angelica,

I'm a local digital photo artist / printmaker. My portfolio ranges from flowers, fruits and trees, to landscapes & vistas (rural Sonoma county), beach & seascapes (Sonoma coast).

Tom ~ There's LOTS of info on-line about fluoride's insidious presence in agriculture, even in organic produce. Here are some articles (with excerpts) for you to check out in more details:

Jonathan ~ As you well know, Monsanto's strategy is to immediately comment publicly to shed doubts on "our" authors' points of view. Science without sense and ethics is not good science, but...

So TRUE DreadTori ~ We ARE all connected. The challenges you list are connected. And our individual decisions, choices, actions and inactions have rippling effects on ourselves, our families, our...

Jonathan ~ Thanks for sharing your to-the-point article. Please send it to the campaign directors in OR and CO....and follow-up to see if they grasp your points.

I've read other articles...

"Curious the PD doesn't consider this 'major' decision newsworthy. " Was referring to the Cotati City Council decision, not Silver-Chalfin's resignation. Who's going to be hired next? Am concerned...

Don't yet. But was relieved at news of her resignation.

Were you aware the Cotati City Council unanimously (!!) REJECTED water fluoridation on November 12th, 2013?...

A BIG thanks WeWe for finding this video!

Please forward this video to your congressional legislators, senators, and Sonoma county's Board of Supervisors....and your dentist. They don't want to...

Thanks for writing our supervisors sharingwisdom.

Not that I'm any great fan of Efren, but when I emailed ALL our supervisors on this issue OVER a year ago (mid-March 2012), Efren was the only...

Super that you've posted this important event, intheflow. Now we need to rally folks to attend.

If any of you anticipate this will be boring....NO WAY! Dr. Connett PhD is an engaging, personable...

Awesome recap! I was there as well. Took notes, but not as extensive as yours. Went tired and exhausted, which I promptly forgot about for the entire two hours. It was a fascinating, empowering...

Yeah, have to agree with you. Looking VERY suspicious. Where's the money? Who benefits?

Was out-of-town helping my elderly parents, when this meeting happened or I would have attended. Glad to see it was standing room only.

I am profoundly dismayed that our supervisors are spending...

Gary ~ The threat of sending the $75 non-payment to collections is more a smoke screen for emotional manipulation than a 'real' threat. Unfortunately, most consumers are not aware of this and comply...

Sun Fire ~ Silence only would result in the smartmeter(s) being installed. Unfortunately, we do have to speak up if we don't want the smartmeter.

Bob ~ That's exactly what I did....just opted out a couple of years ago.

My protest comment about "potentially unconstitutional fees" has only been made here and on Facebook, after I received the...

Thanks for posting the microwave news link here, Karl. It's a great resource. My husband and I have been following it for years.

I'm in. Beginning to investigate how to start a class action suit.

In the meantime, for those of you who want more info ~ whether you're leery of smartmeters OR think those of us...

Thanks! Ubaru ~ Signed this yesterday and posted it on Facebook for folks there.

Tom ~ We opted out early on, BEFORE we had our solar system installed (summer of 2011). Spoke with PG&E's Solar Customer Service (1-877-743-4112) a few days ago about smartmeters for solar system...

BTW, Solar Sonoma would like to convert our entire county to solar, so we can get rid of PG&E. Sonoma county already generates more solar electricity per capita than any county in the USA, so let's...

SmartMeter update... OUTRAGED!!!

PG&E is attempting to collect their 'questionable' $75 opt-out fee without making a line item entry on our utility bills. (Watch your own billings carefully, if...

This crucial info was in my email box this morning. 1.6 million votes remain uncounted in 4 counties..<wbr>..what about the other 54 counties? Perhaps...

I've been thinking about our narrow loss on passing Prop37 LabelGMOs...

The 'loss' may be a gift in disguise. If Prop37 had passed, Monsanto would have tied it up in court immediately. The...
