Let Dems hear from you…202-225-3121… this HCR bill is for the People


REPOST

The Democrats who’ve said — either in interviews or press releases — that they’re opposing the HCR bill include: 15 so far

Members of Congress need to hear from you. Lieberman may have wanted Medicare buy in and HCR before he didn’t;  he is now showing how Politicians can easily put aside the rights of their constituents and fellow Americans. We need to get Progressive Democrats to Unite and push pass and shove a Bill toward our President’s desk that has been a long time in the making and one that can change not just health care, it will create jobs, will not kill grandma and will definitely need to be adjusted frequently.

The number to the Congressional switch board is 202-225-3121. If you get a busy signal, don’t be discouraged. Keep dialing.

Dow Chemical has unveiled a new solar shingle that can be nailed to a roof like its asphalt predecessor — but which generates electricity. Test marketing is to begin in 2010.Dow designed the shingles, which will initially be manufactured at the company’s Midland, Mich., facility. Global Solar of Tucson, Ariz., is supplying the thin-film solar cells.

A Santa Monica, Calif., company called SolarReserve has taken a step toward making that a reality, filing an application with California regulators to build a 150-megawatt solar farm that will store seven hours’ worth of the sun’s energy in the form of molten salt.
 The Rice Solar Energy Project, to be built in the Sonoran Desert east of Palm Springs, will “generate steady and uninterrupted power during hours of peak electricity demand,” according to SolarReserve’s license application.
