Welcome to the stars, intrepid traveller.

From DemandProgress.com :

The NDAA amendment legalizes the use of mass propaganda campaigns on American audiences. It has been inserted into the latest defense authorization bill — and that bill just passed the House.

Please click here to demand that the Senate oppose ending the propaganda ban:

The NDAA amendment lifts bans on propaganda that have been around since the 1940s, neutralizing laws put in place to protect the American people from its government’s own “misinformation” campaigns.

“It removes the protection for Americans,” a Pentagon official told Buzzfeed, who broke the story. "There are no checks and balances. No one knows if the information is accurate, partially accurate, or entirely false.”

From the Petition Site:

The fin whale is the second largest animal in the world; only the blue whale is bigger. It is also one of the most endangered whales. Numbers never recovered from the commercial hunting of the 19th and 20th centuries and today there are only about 50,000 left.

One country still kills large numbers of these great whales: Iceland. Last year, the fin whale hunt was called off. This year, the Icelandic government is determined that the brutal slaughter of fin whales will resume.

Hi there everyone,

From Humane Chain info pack:

Over 4,000,000 sheep were exported live from Australia to the Middle East in 2008. Over 35,000 of these sheep died en route from starvation, stress and disease. Many of the sheep that survive the journey are handled and slaughtered in ways that would be neither legal nor tolerated in Australia.

Here's what you can do to combat the unspeakable treatment of sheep in Australia's live sheep trade:

Meet with your local MP. At the meeting you can ask questions, discuss your concerns and urge your MP to act against live exports. Organising a meeting is easy. Humane Chain can provide you with materials like video footage to take with you. To find out more, click on the link below to get Humane Chain's information pack:
