A farmer’s alfalfa crop in Washington State was just rejected for export after genetic modification was discovered. You have a right to know what’s in your food.

Show your support for labeling genetically engineered food by pledging to vote ‘yes’ on Initiative 522!

Put coal exports On Trial in Washington ~~

09/17/2013 Nativegrl77

Help put coal exports on trial in Washington.

Make a public comment today to stop the proposed Longview, WA coal terminal.

Big coal is trying to force through the largest coal export terminal in the U.S. right here in Longview, WA.
Sending coal exports through Longview would damage everything from our fragile ecosystem, to our health, to our climate.
We can’t let this facility get permitted. And now we have a chance to stop it. The public comment period has opened for the Longview proposal – giving us an official public opportunity to say NO to coal exports by voicing our concerns about its impacts.
And speaking up makes a difference. When Washingtonians like you submitted over 124,000 comments last fall on a coal export proposal just north of Bellingham, the agencies listened. We can do it again.
Please submit a comment today. Absolutely everyone needs to comment to help stop these terminals from moving forward.
If we allow these terminals in our state, we’ll be seen as one of the world’s largest exporters of climate-disrupting coal.
This is not us. We’re pioneering the clean energy revolution – building a stronger regional economy and developing clean energy solutions that work for the long haul. Let’s stand up against these dirty plans and demand a better, cleaner future for our children and our communities.
We must make it clear that we don’t want coal in Northwest or Southwest Washington. We don’t want it in Oregon. We don’t want it. Period. Please comment today.
Stopping coal exports isn’t just crucial for the Northwest. Around the globe, we must stop major new fossil fuel projects in order to prevent catastrophic climate change. That’s why Greenpeace is working to halt Arctic drilling, the Keystone XL Pipeline and coal export projects that threaten our planet’s future.
With your help, we can put the brakes on the coal industry’s plans for Washington.
Thank you for standing up for our state and our climate,
Kim Marks Greenpeace Washington Organizer
P.S. Don’t let coal exports threaten our health, our environment and our climate. Submit a comment against the Longview, WA coal export facility today.

We need your help : the other Washington

09/09/2013 Nativegrl77

It’s up to all of us to ensure the safety of Washington State’s children.

We must reduce gun violence and protect our shared future, even though legislators in both Olympia and Washington, D.C., have ignored the outcry for sensible gun safety reforms.

The Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility needs your help.

Without legislative action, enacting commonsense reform like requiring criminal background checks on all gun purchases will take a successful ballot initiative. To get on the ballot means gathering thousands of signatures.

The Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility is working to do just that, and they need your help.

Click here to request your own official petition form, and help us get one name closer to our goal of 250,000 petition signatures by the end of September.

As a registered Washington voter, you can provide the first signature on your petition (and there’s room for four friends to sign too).

With our ambitious goal of 250,000 signatures by the end of this month, we need your support to help protect Washington’s children from the threat of gun violence. But, unfortunately, state regulations do not allow you to simply download an online petition.

All it takes is clicking here to request your petition form — and we’ll mail it to you right away!

We’ve just printed hundreds of new petition forms, and it’s time to put them to good use.

And I would very much appreciate seeing your signature alongside mine, and those of hundreds of thousands of our fellow Washington voters.

Thank you for helping to make Washington State a national leader in responsible gun ownership.

Sincerely,

Dow Constantine King County Executive
