With very little data to go on, the FDA has decided that milk and meat from cloned animals and their offspring are safe to eat. This decision to allow the sale of meat and milk from cloned animals leaves consumers at risk and releases another questionable technology into the food supply.
There is an underlying objection here, based on ethical and animal welfare concerns. But despite the widespread public disapproval, the FDA is not planning to require labeling of products from cloned animals.
Without labeling, you won't be able to choose whether or not to buy meat from clones. Unless we tell Congress to support labeling of cloned foods, the FDA will keep already wary consumers in the dark.

Tell the EPA their CA waiver denial is an outrage!
The Environmental Protection Agency has denied California's waiver request to cut global warming pollution from automobiles. This decision ignores the science and the law.
Seventeen other states plan to implement similar programs. EPA's action is nothing more than a heavy handed stroke to limit the authority of states to fight global warming and protect our environment.
It is reported that EPA Administrator Johnson's staff even recommended approving the waiver because it met all the necessary standards.
California is leading the country to fight global warming, and the EPA and Administrator Johnson are holding them back.
Send a letter today to Administrator Johnson expressing your outrage at this unfounded decision!

Goodbye to Utah as we know it?
If President Bush has his way, some of the most spectacular areas in Utah will be irreversibly degraded by oil rigs and off-road vehicles (ORVs).
Eleven million acres in Utah's red rock canyon country are at immediate risk, and we have until Feb. 8 to speak out. This precious land is filled with breathtaking vistas, ancient cultural artifacts and dinosaur fossils, and a wide range of wildlife.
Concerned people like you can put a stop to the sprawling oil and gas development and ORV use. There is no time to waste.
Go here now.

Don’t let the Bush administration take away the National Mall!
There is a fast-developing free speech battle between the Bush Administration and those who seek to preserve the National Mall in its current status as a treasured location for mass assembly protest. Every day that Bush stays in office we can anticipate a new assault on civil liberties and the Bill of Rights. It is incumbent upon us all to take action. If Bush gets his way, by the day he leaves office, cherished civil liberties will be eviscerated for decades to come.
The National Park Service (NPS) is undertaking an initiative similar to that launched to exclude protests from New York City’s Great Lawn. It will be used to further restrict or ban protest on the National Mall. This is a component of a nationwide campaign of corporate-sponsored organizations working in partnership with government entities that claim that protests, rallies and demonstrations harm grass or “green space” or “natural resources” and must therefore be restricted or banned or shunted off to designated protest pits.
As many ImpeachBush/VotetoImpeach members know, the movement to Impeach Bush was launched by Ramsey Clark on the National Mall on January 18, 2003 at the largest anti-war demonstration since the end of the Vietnam War, numbering 500,000.
At a public meeting called by the National Park Service ten days ago, on Saturday, January 12 in Washington, D.C., representatives from ImpeachBush.org, the Partnership for Civil Justice, ANSWER Coalition, Nicaragua Network, Grassroots America and others demanded that there be no new restrictions placed on the right of the people to access the National Mall for free speech activities.
Right now, you can email the National Park Service demanding that there be no restrictions on the right of the people to assemble
