Forget Protecting the Planet

by at 12:26 pm.

At ThinkProgress, they dredged up a little item which just…floors me. I bet this gets barely any coverage at all:

NASA quietly had its mission statement changed last February by the White House, who deleted the phrase “to understand and protect our home planet.” NASA scientists were surprised to learn of the change. “Without it, these scientists say, there will be far less incentive to pursue projects to improve understanding of terrestrial problems like climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions.”

Disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

Canvass for Deval Saturday!

by at 10:00 am.

We’re holding a canvass for Deval Patrick this Saturday, June 22, 10am - noon. We will meet at 122 Western Ave in Lowell for some quick training, then head out to several precincts in the city to knock on doors!

It’s not as scary as it sounds (it’s actually a lot of fun!), and everyone will go together with a partner, so please join us! Get to know your city a little better. And if you’re interested in other volunteer activities for Patrick, please email me (lynne (at) leftinlowell.com - replace the (at) with @) and I will put you on our growing email list.

See you there!
