Hi all,

Anyone want to join me for the AMI conference discount expiring next
Tuesday? That is May 3, just three days away!!

See message below, especially the synopsis of this year's follow up
discussion of the mathematical model developed by Economics Professor
Yamaguchi that includes a discussion of the non-inflationary aspects of
the Need Act.

Also in the forwarded message is payment info as per described below.

If we TRULY want to heal our nation and the world, we need to start with
PROPER monetary reform ala Thomas Jefferson and company!!

PS: Apparently we lost out on the early bird discount which was $195 and
expired in early February.

Re: [PDI] Call your Illinois Rep to oppose Illinois SB7

*** SENT THROUGH PDI MAILING LIST ***
This is from DEMOCRATS?? Are they asking for a nation-wide general strike?

Subject: [PDI] Call your Illinois Rep to oppose Illinois SB7

*** SENT THROUGH PDI MAILING LIST ***
Hi all,

The following is a request made by a retired college prof and Chicago
activist, asking us to call our Illinois Reps to oppose SB7.

SB7 involves bargaining rights of Illinois teachers and was developed by
the IEA, IFT, and CTU together with other "stakeholders":
http://www.ieanea.org/banner/get-information-on-the-school-reform-bill-sb7-here/
. Here is how a "grassroots" group describes the benefits of SB7:
http://www.stand.org/Document.Doc?id=3057

AND this is from the aforementioned Chicago teacher/activist, describing
what SB7 REALLY does to the CTU in particular (and Illinois teachers by
extension) and ends with his conclusion as to why SB7 needs to be opposed:

<SNIP>
1. Restricts the right to strike to almost impossible conditions (75% of
the entire bargaining unit membership must vote yes + 6 months delay).
Handcuffs the CTU just when members face closings and charter
replacements, an announced $700,000,000 budget deficit with huge layoffs
threatened, and upcoming contract negotiations. Poses a threat of
similar legislation to all unions in Illinois.

2. Imposes increased workload for teachers (and students) without a
prior agreement with the Union. Added workload without compensation
guaranteed. No ability to negotiate an educationally-sound
implementation that is student-friendly. Poses a threat of
similarly-imposed unpaid workloads for all public sector workers.

3. Excludes Chicago CTU bargaining unit members from the hiring rights
of laid- off members which apply to every other teacher union across
Illinois. Again, this exception opens the door to extending it against
all other teacher and public sector union workers.
4. Excludes CTU from I.E.L.R.A. (IL Educational Labor Relations Act)
means eliminating members rights to file and seek relief from Unfair
Labor Practices. This would be like taking away a person's right to file
a lawsuit when damaged. Again. this sets a precedent directly aimed at
all educational workers across the state.
While I originally proposed the first three in my motion to Monday's
CORE meeting, I'm coming to think that opposing SB7 is needed since
there's not one good thing to salvage. As you can see, the basis exists
to reach out to other teachers outside of Chicago, their locals, and
other public and even private- sector workers/unions. The specifics
aimed at CTU members in SB7 are bullets that can be aimed at them.
That's the basis for solidarity-shared interests. An injury to one IS an
injury to all.
<END SNIP>

[PDI] Movie: Gasland

*** SENT THROUGH PDI MAILING LIST ***
I've just watched the documentary Gasland, about the natural gas fracking industry.

The sheer scale of environmental destruction is mind-numbing.

We're not even talking about future discussion; this is about destruction that's already happened, across numerous states around the country.

Most of Illinois is sitting atop one of these massive shale formations. I have no idea if any fracking has happened in Illinois yet. Worse, it may not have to happen in Illinois for our State to be impacted.

The flow of water and wind doesn't know about the lines people draw on maps. It just plain happens, and nobody can tell water or wind to stop at the State line.

People think fracking dangers are just about ground water. They're not. Many of the toxins are evaporated into the atmosphere and go where the wind blows.

If anyone wants to borrow this DVD, they're welcome to. You should know this story. It's the biggest gaping hole in environmental protection that exists.

Regards,

Dan Stafford

State Rep. Greg Harris (D-Chicago) is sponsoring H.B. 653, a measure he says would accomplish the following:

H.B. 653

1.. Require the Department of Human Services to initiate reviews, and possible revocation, of funding and licensing at institutions where disproportionate claims of abuse or neglect occur.
2.. Require assignment of independent monitors or receivers to operate facilities and protect residents where systemic risks of abuse are identified.
3.. Require background checks of group home workers when first hired, and every six months.
4.. Require families to be able to review documented cases of abuse or neglect, get access to all licensing, inspection and quality assurance documentation, as well as reports of substantiated findings of abuse neglect or exploitation.
5.. Give families and residents instructions on how to report abuse.
6.. Give residents the patient's bill of rights.
Thank you for your action on this! Kathy

If you park in an unnumbered space, it's easy to tell immediately if you have a parking pass or not, and easier to get a ticket.

Parking in the Metra lot: from experience, you do NOT have to pay to park on weekends although there is nothing official saying this. I have never paid and have never gotten a ticket. However, I always park in a numbered area, so if an officer wanted to know whether I paid or not, they would have to open the fare box, etc. They don't do this on weekends.  If you park in an unnumbered space, it's easy to tell immediately if you have a parking pass or not, and easier to get a ticket.
In short, IN THE METRA LOT, PARK IN A NUMBERED SPACE, AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY $1.50 IN THE FARE BOX.
 
If you haven't been to the Villa Park Metra station lately, things have changed. On the south side, instead of crossing in the center, you now have to walk up to Ardmore Ave or the opposite end of the parking lot to cross over. On weekends I find it easier to park on the north side and sit in the car until the train comes (which, also by experience, is frequently late on weekends).

In April 1968, Martin Luther King was killed in Memphis while supporting striking sanitation workers fighting for respect, dignity and a pathway to the middle class. In April 2011, the same corporate and political power brokers tried to make villains out of our school teachers in Wisconsin . 
 
Now, the assault on the middle class is spreading across the country.  In Illinois , legislation has been drafted to sharply curtail the collective bargaining rights of teachers.  
 
We Stand With Wisconsin .  
Memphis 1968 / Madison 2011
 
SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 2011  
12:00 (Noon) March from Thompson Center
( 100 W. Randolph St , Chicago , Illinois 60601 )
 
1:00 Rally at Daley Plaza    
( 50 W. Washington St , Chicago , Illinois 60602 )
 
  
On April 9th, thousands of Illinoisans will stand together with teachers, firefighters, and public employees to fight for the same freedoms for which Dr. King gave his life.  Speakers include:
Bill Lucy, retired union leader at the center of the 1968 Memphis struggle.
Wisconsin Senator and teacher at the center of the 2011 Madison struggle.
Mahlon Mitchell, president of the Wisconsin Fire Fighters. 
 
Please make plans to join us on April 9th. We must continue the fight for that dream.
 
 
 
Sincerely,
  
William McNary and Lynda DeLaforgue

Daniel,
BREAKING NEWS: We did it!! Together, progressives defeated Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's choice for state Supreme Court -- and won back the "swing" vote that could soon decide whether Walker's anti-worker bill is illegal.    
The margin was 204 votes! And in the last week, members of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Democracy for America made 96,945 phone calls to targeted voters through our "Call Out The Vote" program. 
It's undeniable: PCCC members like you made the difference and helped win this important race.
Please spread the word about this progressive victory on Facebook by clicking here and on Twitter by clicking here.)
Now we have to finish the job. When we win the upcoming recall elections against Republicans in Wisconsin it will have ripple effects across the nation -- showing that working families will hold Republicans accountable for their war on the middle class.
We're increasing our pro-recall TV ad buy in Wisconsin today to keep up the pressure, and we will keep going as long as folks keep chipping in $3. You can see our ad and donate here.
Or, click here to listen to the special briefing we just held with "Wisconsin 14" senators Mark Miller and Chris Larson -- where they talk about yesterday's election and the recall fight ahead.
Today, we achieved a huge victory. Thanks for being part of it –- and for being a bold progressive.

Want to support our work? We're entirely funded by our members—no corporate contributions, no big checks from CEOs. And our tiny staff ensures that small contributions go a long way. Chip in $3 here.
Paid for by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee PAC (www.BoldProgressives.org) and not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee. Contributions to the PCCC are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.

Re: [PDI] Fw: AU Press Release : AU Condemns Supreme Court Ruling Dismissing Challenge To State Aid To Arizona Religious Schools

*** SENT THROUGH PDI MAILING LIST ***
You know, many Christian denominations seem to be forgetting that when the church & state were co-mingled, all denominations other than the state-sanctioned denomination were horribly persecuted. That is one of the biggest reasons they fled Europe. Someone must be "forgetting" to teach them of that history.

Americans UnitedHi all,

This is a serious challenge to our way of life and the US constitution. Obama took the wrong side of this issue in extending cooperation to right wing extremists on the separation of church and state. Any bridging of that separation puts religious freedom for all in jeopardy because once one religion is favored with tax money, that is a threat to all religions as well as the non-religious. Please do what you can to be aware of developments on this issue and take action accordingly consistent with your own beliefs.

Thanks,

Doug Donnan

Americans United Condemns Supreme Court Ruling Dismissing Challenge To State Aid To Arizona Religious Schools
Church-State Watchdog Group Says Obama Administration Betrayed Public Education By Taking Wrong Side In Important School-Funding Case
April 4, 2011

Americans United for Separation of Church and State today criticized a U.S. Supreme Court ruling dismissing a challenge to tax aid to religious schools in Arizona.

In a 5-4 ruling, the high court today turned back a legal challenge to an Arizona scheme that allows taxpayers to take a 100 percent credit for donations to "school tuition organizations" that fund religious and other private schools. The court said the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring the case.

"This misguided ruling betrays the public school system by directing tax dollars to religious schools," said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United, which filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case. "The court, with the full support of the Obama administration, has slammed the courthouse door in the face of Americans who don't want their tax dollars to subsidize religion."

Under the controversial program, nearly 92 percent of the funds collected have gone for tuition at religious schools. Taxpayers challenged the plan as a violation of church-state separation.
