		<description><![CDATA[The Anti-Biomass Incineration – Forest Protection Campaign is telling Congress and the Administration that the Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) being promoted by industry groups and some members of Congress is “dirty energy” legislation because it promotes toxic incinerators that make people sick, pollute air and water, destroy forests, and dry up rivers. “These dirty incinerators emit toxic air pollution that causes cancer, asthma and heart disease,” said Attorney Margaret Sheehan, of the Biomass Accountability Project, “and they don’t reduce global warming, they increase it.” The Campaign delivered a letter to Congress signed by public health, social justice, and environmental organizations opposing any legislation that further subsidizes dirty incinerators, including the RES, and proposed energy and farm bill amendments. Groundbreaking scientific reports issued in June 2010 by the Manomet Center for Conservation Science and the Environmental Working Group conclusively show that biomass incineration using forests as fuel will undermine efforts to<a href="http://gregoryvickrey.com/2010/07/anti-biomass-incineration-%e2%80%93-forest-protection-campaign/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Young Protestor, Peace of the Action (POTA), Obomba Residence, July 4, 2010 from gregory vickrey on Vimeo. “There is something abnormal here, and it sure as hell isn’t me.” When I grabbed the bull horn to speak in the heat of Washington, DC, on the 4th of July, 2010, those were the first words out of my mouth. Frustration made the oppressive heat and more oppressive city all the more so. When I first arrived near the White House, in Lafayette Park, a Secret Service blue-shirt shouted, then screamed, then shouted again, for me to “move back, move away!”, as I was apparently encroaching on sacred ground during the arrival of some esteemed BBQ guest. I meandered a bit amongst the tourists gawking at the gates to the hallowed halls of the presidential palace, smiling for the cameras, and standing oblivious to oblivion. The circus continued and eventually I connected<a href="http://gregoryvickrey.com/2010/07/on-protesting-and-fighting-the-power/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Enjoy our initial list of activities that will drive change in an ever increasing difficult environment to bring about justice and peace and prosperity for all. We will be adding references for these selections soon. Spread the word, friends; 2010 is upon us and time slows for no man or woman. New year, stronger fronts. Here we begin a list of things to do in 2010 to bring monumental change to the systems that are holding down &#8220;we, the people&#8221;. Add your ideas. We will compile the one&#8217;s slated to have the most impact, and act accordingly. I, and others, can also add resources as we go along. 1. Refuse to pay your income taxes this &#8211; and every &#8211; year, until systemic change is realized. 2. Remove your money from the big banks that meddle in everything from investment scams to insurance fraud, and re-invest those dollars in community<a href="http://gregoryvickrey.com/2010/01/2010-resolutions-for-a-better-world/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Greetings Friends, While I had a productive and enjoyable time in DC thanks to colleagues and proactive friends ready to deal with the messes our country faces, alarm bells continued to ring from every block I walked, and every train I hopped. First, drinking from a glass half full, I would like to thank my hosts in Columbia Heights who let me ramble on about leftism as well as sleep in their comfortable environs. You all at the Peace House are good people. Further, it was a joy to be able to interact with Amy Belanger (she is on Facebook but I do not know how to tag her &#8211; feel free to search for her among my friends), as we are like-minded souls in search for measurable solutions to the goings on in this world with the express intent to improve the global condition. Other visits to organizations and<a href="http://gregoryvickrey.com/2009/11/washington-dc-corporate-occupied-territory/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>
