"All across the state people are protesting a proposed coal export

"Environmentalists and other opponents of the terminal,
many of whom were dressed in red T-shirts, dominated public
testimony before a crowd of about 400."- Spokesman
Review
If Earned Media is any indication of of where we stand in the fight for
climate and environmental justice and a sustainable future against coal
exports, than the tide has turned in favor of activists and the
communities we strive to protect. The coal export battle is truly being
fought in the court of public opinion. Giant-sized sympathetic visuals
conveying the values we stand for and what threatens them, and an
engaging experience that helped communities feel a sense of shared power
were all prominent in the earned mainstream media coverage in Spokane
that included two television spots and the front page on their local
paper. The iconic imagery resonates so well that those in a position to
decide the regulations and even the coal export proponents were enamored
with it, excited, and joyful as they took pictures of and with it. We're
grateful to our supporters through whose support we're able to make sure
this critical flank of the fight is present to amplify, inspire, and
build engagement. If you are long to be a part of vibrant community
working to bring the world in closer harmony with your values, than join
Backbone Campaign, our
allies, and collaborators to build a powerful progressive movement.
Special thanks is owed to Spokane
Coalition Builders, and Occupy Spokane whose
dedicated engagement in their community and continued collaboration have
helped to reinvigorate engagement in the NW. The Power Past Coal
Coalition and Sierra Club have dedicated a ton of resources and energy
to mobilize the community to speak out at the hearings, with many other
community members from across the state and beyond sharing their talents
and gifts to make Fossil Fuel Foolishness a thing of the past.

This is a random picture I took. I was just testing some shutter and aperture value adjustments and this is how the picture turned out. I kind of like it even though it's just a picture of my knees, haha.
Most schools just come up with something that sounds about right. Lots of words no-one understands. We set out with ASW to find out what really underpins their community.

It depends on what value the leaders are driven: the value of the euro or the value of their own bank accounts?

I value the remaining greenspace in Atlanta. I took my family there on Father's Day for a walk at Sweetwater Park, and I hope that site still looks as pretty 50 years from now.
In advance of the Dec. 15 deadline to sign up on Delaware’s Health Insurance Marketplace for coverage to begin Jan. 1, Secretary Landgraf was joined by Westside Family Healthcare CEO Lolita Lopez, Department of Insurance Chief of Staff Paul Reynolds, navigators and enrollees to talk about the value of coverage. More than 25,000 Delawareans signed up for coverage in 2016 and, so far for 2017, sign-ups are up more than 7% over the comparable period last year. “The public is pretty protective of their health insurance,” Secretary Landgraf said Dec. 12 at a press conference at Westside’s location in Bear. About 85% of those enrolled on Delaware’s Marketplace receive tax credits to help pay their monthly premiums. Financial help is available to individuals with an annual household income up to $47,520 and up to $97,200 for a family of four.
Enrollees Dr. Donald Morton, Linda Miller and Pam Howe said the Marketplace offered affordable coverage when they needed it. Dr. Morton, pastor, executive director of Complexities of Color, husband and father of five, signed up the first year and his doctor discovered he had prostate cancer. He now has been cancer-free for two years. “I thank God, I thank my Mama, and I thank President Obama,” he said. “If the law goes away, not only is it financial, but I have a pre-existing condition.”
Linda Miller signed up for marketplace coverage the day her treatment for lung cancer ended through DHSS’ Delaware Cancer Treatment Program. “Somebody is watching over me,” she said. Pam Howe, who lost employer-based coverage and whose husband has high blood pressure, had sleepless nights about how she would access health insurance. “The Health Care Act is very important,” she said, thanking navigator Kristen Isaac at Westside for helping her understand her coverage options. “If (the law) goes away, I don’t know what we will do. It made a big difference for us.”
Rachel Linstead Goldsmith of Enroll America said the Marketplace has helped reduce Delaware’s uninsured population to about 54,000. “The law is still in place and effectively nothing has changed for 2017,” she said. Westside’s President and CEO Lolita Lopez said the Affordable Care Act “has given families a real source of financial security and peace of mind.”
Open enrollment continues through Jan. 31. Those who choose not to get health insurance and are not exempt for coverage will pay a penalty for lacking insurance. For 2017, the penalty will be $695 per adult and $347.50 per child, or 2.5% of their annual household income, whichever is higher.
