National Petition for the Reactivation of the US Civilian Conservation Corps - The Petition Site

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:16:59 -0800

From the page: "We the undersigned urge the Legislative and Executive Branches of the United States Government to reactivate refund and revamp FDR's popular New Deal program the United States Civilian Conservation Corps(1933-1942). Reactivation, refunding and revamping United States Civilian Conservation Corps(CCC) will give us a proven program with more bang for the buck!

The reactivation, refunding and revamping of the CCC would again be under the direct control of the government and will not be privatized. The CCC would utilize federal agencies such as Labor, Agriculture, Interior, Veterans Affairs and the DOD. The CCC would receive proper appropriations from Congress to perform its duties as required. For the CCC to achieve accountability and to prevent overlap and fraud the federal government would stop all funding to similar federal, state and municipal programs and their personnel would be absorbed back into the CCC.

The CCC would work in the construction, maintenance and carrying on of works in a public nature in the connection of public lands that belong to the United States. States, Native lands and US Territories that are suitable for such cooperative work on their agricultural, park, watershed, and forest lands in forest protection, flood control, erosion control, wildfire suppression, park improvements, park development, wildlife protection, historical restoration, ranch and farmland erosion control, grazing erosion control, disaster relief with agreements with the American Red Cross to help those in distress, clean-up pollution, rebuild housing and infrastructure, and repair damage to the environment, and other services needed that would benefit the United States of America in our public domain. The CCC would be engaged in fighting global warming by planting millions of trees and have the best opportunities to qualify for future green job careers. "

In this first-person account, Harris describes the scene �" and what happened next:

George W. Bush was scheduled to be one of the �oeinspirational speakers” at a �oeGet Motivated!” seminar at the Fort Worth Convention Center Arena. The irony was not missed by many of us that Bush and his administration were less than inspirational. "

Cooks.com - Recipe - Homemade Yogurt

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:39:47 -0700

From the page: "Another useful purpose for homemade yogurt is yogurt cheese. To make yogurt cheese, drain freshly made yogurt in a cheesecloth hung in a cool place; this can be used in many recipes as a healthy substitute for cream cheese.

Save half a cup of the unflavored yogurt as a starter for making the next batch.

This yogurt is an economical way to produce quality yogurt for diet plans which include daily consumption. The starter only needs to be purchased infrequently in small amounts, and the yogurt strain can often be maintained indefinitely if you make yogurt often. Use each batch of reserved starter within 5 days or start again with fresh starter.

It's a good plan to purchase an 8 oz. container of yogurt for a new starter once every 1 or 2 months, or when your own strain seems to be getting weaker (the yogurt will not thicken as well). Dried active culture is also available in packets and may be kept on the shelf in case you run out of fresh starter."
