I saw an interesting story on local TV news yesterday about how city and county permitting and zoning regulations may be slowing progress with green energy installations on private property (e.g. wind turbines, solar panels, etc). Sounds like some new city and county planning strategies need to be developed, along with some education. My personal peeve is tree-cutting policy (or the lack of tree-protection on public & private property) in cities like Los Angeles, but I guess the bureacratic problems we face go far beyond that. I'm just throwing this out for thought and comment right now - something to consider at future summits anyway. - Laura M.

Chamber of Commerce: An Advocates for Climate Change Legislation?
This Monday, an elaborate hoax temporarily managed to convince multiple news outlets that the Chamber of Commerce had reversed its opposition towards climate change legislation. The very same legislation that is now being discussed in Congress.
The anti-corporate group known as the Yes Men drew the nation's focus to the Chamber of Commerce's position on climate change in order to pressure this very influential organization to adopt a more sustainable viewpoint when it comes to lobbying Congress about legislation.

Petition to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
PETITION TO ADD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON ADDITIVES THAT ARE POTENTIALLY POISONOUS
Whereas: There are many additives to food and medicines that are safe in small quantities and are dangerous in excessive quantities the undersigned petition the FDA to require additional labeling as follows:
Example:
Chemical Additive Qty Max Safe Qty Potential side effects
Aluminum 6 mg 11 mg1 Kidney disease2 , dementia3, Alzheimer’s4
Sugars of all kinds 100 mg Unknown Diabetes, Pancreatitis
1. Limit set by the European Food Safety Authority in Parma, Italy
2. Side effect stated in FDA report 43, dated 1975, in which packaging materials that contain aluminum salts are considered safe (GRAS) when used as packaging materials.
3. Scientific study quoted by Alzheimer’s Society in London, England, UK, in their Web page last updated 2008.
4. Ibid. First part of Alzheimer Society’s web page states that there is evidence that aluminum causes Alzheimer’s disease.
Note. This example illustrates the fact that 2 servings of the above food would be unsafe, as 2 times 6 is 12 and exceeds the safe level.

Federal lawsuit filed to stop swine flu vaccinations pending vaccine testing
Six New Yorkers and several NonGovernmental Organizations (NGOs) filed October 9 for an Emergency Injunction in the US District Court for the District of Columbia “to prevent the distribution of what they believe are illegal, unnecessary and dangerous [Swine Flu] vaccines.”
The case of Null, Laibow et al. v FDA et al. [Docket No. 1:09-cv-01924] challenges the legality of the September 15th licensing of four vaccines prior to any safety testing for what the government calls a “novel flu virus with pandemic potential.” The complaint alleges that the government failed to follow its own rules and applicable legislation in rushing the vaccine approvals in the absence of any of the requisite minimum scientifically sound and appropriate testing for both safety and effectiveness as required by law since 1964.
Please read this Media Release about this new federal lawsuit:
Link to Complaint: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=3619
Link to Brief: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=3624
The Plaintiffs include health care professionals such as Dr. Gary Null, PhD, a well-known New York nutritionist; Rima E. Laibow, MD, a New York licensed physician who is Medical Director and a Trustee of the Natural Solutions Foundation; and Dr. Tedd Koren DC, head of the Foundation for Health Choice.
Also Plaintiffs are four New York health care workers who are subject to that State’s new legal mandate (promulgated August 13, 2009) requiring that nearly all of the State’s half million health care workers receive all Federally recommended flu vaccines or lose their jobs. This requirement puts the health care workers in significant jeopardy since these newly approved vaccines have never been tested for either safety or efficacy and may carry major risks. The four include a Registered Nurse who has had prior adverse reactions to flu vaccines; a pregnant Nurse’s Aide; a health care student who has been told that she cannot see the patients whom she must see in order to finish her training; and a woman who works in the billing department of a hospital. All have been denied exemptions and told they will lose their positions under the new mandate if they are not vaccinated with all flu vaccines, including the new “Swine Flu” vaccine.
Here is information on Squalene which is used as an adjuvant in Swine Flu shots and is important in the Complaint, Brief, and Media Release:
It remains to be seen whether the United States District Court will issue an Emergency Injunction to stop the FDA’s Swine Flu vaccination program until the vaccines FDA approved have had the requisite minimum scientifically sound and appropriate testing for both safety and effectiveness as required by law since 1964.
