I bless the Motorcyclist that attempted to open the door of the lorry before he fell under it wheels.

There are several others there also.

Because our public lands are currently open to fracking, this dirty and dangerous image could become more common for visitors to our national forests and wilderness areas.

As a Colorado native, I am lucky to have the awe-inspiring Rocky Mountains and many areas of public land right in my backyard. Just the other weekend, I went hiking in Arapahoe National Forest. I cannot imagine going out and seeing a clearing with a huge fracking well pad, instead of these beautiful trees. Our national forests and public lands are too precious to frack.
But fracking is already happening in national forests and public lands across the country — from Pennsylvania’s Allegheny National Forest to the border of Glacier National Park; from illegal fracking in the Florida Everglades to George Washington National Forest in Virginia (which was recently approved for fracking).

Thanks to the incredible opposition to fracking that has grown across the country, U.S. Representative Mark Pocan (WI-2) and co-sponsor Jan Schakowsky (IL-9) introduced a bill to ban fracking on all public lands. This bill is the strongest piece of federal legislation against fracking to be introduced to date.

While Food & Water Watch members have already made it clear that fracking should be banned on our public lands (along with allies, we submitted more than 650,000 comments from people like you against the Obama administration’s proposed rules for fracking on public lands), the oil and gas industry is pushing back. They will do everything they can to kill this bill so they can keep fracking our public lands.

That’s why we need to make sure that this bill has an impressive list of co-sponsors and supporters in Congress. Ask your representative to co-sponsor this bill to protect our public lands from fracking.

I want to be able to enjoy our parks and forests for years to come, and I want to make sure there will be protected wilderness for future generations to experience. Join me in standing up to protect our public lands from fracking today.

Thanks for taking action,

I congratulate President Obama on his cunning. While he has publicly supported Erdogan, as he should any democratically elected leader of a country, he is steadfastly demanding that before Cleric Gulen is to be extradited back to Turkey(and to certain death) the Turkish PM provide some evidence of his wrong doing.

Erdogan is trying to bluff the US into extraditing Gulen by stating that any country that stands with Gulen was at a state of “war” with Turkey.

Obama doesn’t by wolf tickets. Kerry who spoke late Friday to his Turkish opposite number Mevlut Cavusoglu by telephone, said: “We haven’t received any request with respect to Mr Gulen.

Obama is requesting that Turkey present the US with any legitimate evidence against Cleric Gulen that withstands scrutiny and the United States will accept that and look at it and make judgments about it appropriately.

That is Obama’s tactful reply to Erdogan, meaning I don’t give a shit about your threat of “war.” If you want the US to extradite anyone from our borders, you had better be prepared to abide by our legal standards to achieve that extradition.

My father and many other members of the Council of State have been arrested. They will be murdered secretly. They are using the name of cleric Fethullah Gulen in the US as an excuse to purge the judicary, military, education and media aimed at preventing his becoming a dictator for life.

So many young men are in the streets proclaiming their support for islam. We as women in Turkey hoping for a more secular government that will allow us to live with choices for our lives are doomed.

Please be careful, many families are preparing for honor killings. Do not trust a call from even your mother to return home. She will be the first to plunge the knife in your back.
