Volunteers are gathering signatures for the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruetly Act. The initiative would make it so that farm animals have the room to sit down, stand up, and turn around in their cages. It would affect 20 million animals in California who are very tightly confined all of their lives (click here to view pictures). Pregnant pigs and baby calves live 4-5 months in one spot unable to turn around or stretch their limbs. Egg laying hens live their whole lives (they produce eggs for about a year) in a space the area of a normal sheet of paper. The EU has already outlawed such confinement. This bill won't affect how farm animals are fed antibiotics or how they're transported and slaughtered, etc, but it still makes a difference. The initiative is sponsored by the Humane Society, Farm Sanctuary and some other nonprofits. I went out and got about 60 signatures. They need 650,000 signatures by the end of February to get it on the November ballot. California residents, to help out, just sign up and they will send you petitions.

2.    Was lobbied to end the investigation into Enron.
3.    Agreed with Ken Lay's solutions.

To find these emails for yourselves,
1.    Go to http://fercic.aspensys.com/... and sign in
2.    Bubble the "Enron Email (.pst)" option and click "open selected database."
3.    The names of the 2 emails to search for are "CEO meeting update" and "Materials Ken Lay Used." Also, click on the attachments links in the emails.

Karen Denne was the Vice President of Public Relations for Enron. Jeff Dasovich was Enron's Director for State Government Affairs. Arnold didn't sign the letter because days after the meeting, a sf gate article came out exposing the meeting. I don't know how to bold so I'll capitalize all the important parts. Read More
