#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty [VIDEO] What it was maybe like in Nebraska during the Keystone XL hearing http://350.org/en/about/blogs/what-it-was-maybe-nebraska-during-keystone-xl-hearing-video Last Thursday, braving heavy snow and wind, hundreds of commited citizens lined up to testify at the lone public hearing on the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. By most estimates, it was 9 to 1 against the pipeline, and administrators of the hearing had to stay late into the night to hear everyone’s testimony. Nebraska has always been ground zero for opposition to the pipeline. Keystone, if built, would go through the Olagalla Aquifer and Nebraska’s sensitive Sand Hills, putting each at risk. Ranchers and farmers, some of whom have been on their land for generations, see the pipeline as an exi…http://www.twitpic.com/cmqn6k

The president met for just over two hours with the record-breaking group composed of four Republicans and 16 Democrats. “The president enjoyed continuing his discussion with the senators about a wide range of items on the agenda, including working together to find common ground on budget issues and new initiatives to grow our economy, create jobs, and strengthen the middle class,” according to a White House official. In October, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., told the president about the women’…http://www.twitpic.com/clpmpn

That nonprofit is called Organizing for Action, the latest incarnation of what was formerly the Obama campaign's Organizing for America effort, and the Missouri state chapter has become increasingly active in recent weeks, concentrated in St. Louis and Kansas City. “The main objective is to pressure legislators to let them know what their constituen…http://www.twitpic.com/cl1qmo
#occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Brewery to occupy Tucson student housing http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Brewery-to-occupy-Tucson-student-housing-4449689.php Residents of The Cadence student housing complex downtown won't have to go far for a cold brew. In fact, they may be fighting for a seat at the bar when World of Beer, the behemoth purveyor of all things brewski, opens on the ground floor of the development in November. The 3,000-square-foot bar, which also will sell packaged beer to go, will move into the main building of the 465-bedroom six-story complex at 350 E. Congress St., said developer Jim Campbell. Campbell is developing the retail end of the project, which is being built by Alabama-based Capstone Development Partners. “What we wanted to do was create more of an …http://www.twitpic.com/cl2emt
