Our pressure worked!
Thanks to the petition signatures of tens of thousands of supporters throughout the country, the House just passed the comprehensive, bipartisan Violence Against Women Act. This crucial legislation is now heading to President Obama's desk to become law.
Watch the video of my appearance on MSNBC talking about VAWA yesterday and share it with your friends on Facebook or Twitter now to show what we accomplished:
In November, voters in Missouri and across the country -- including millions of women -- made their voices heard. They voted against extremism that said we don't need a minimum wage, and that women don't need equal pay for equal work or access to emergency contraception. And they voted against a Republican Party leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives that decided the Violence Against Women Act just wasn't important enough to renew.
It's been nearly one year since the Senate voted to renew this critical bill. For nearly a full year, Republicans in the U.S. House dragged their feet, refusing to even vote on the Senate-passed bill -- finally just letting it die before the new year.
This happened because of the commitment Americans from all walks of life showed to protecting women and families. And you have my commitment that as we tackle more of the important issues facing the country, I'll be calling on your help again soon.
All the best,

Groundbreaking Reports Show Fracking is a Risky Short-Term Bubble
- Overall field decline rates are so steep that 30-50 percent of shale gas production and 40 percent of shale oil production must be replaced annually to offset declines.
- High productivity shale plays are not ubiquitous. Just six plays account for 88 percent of shale gas production and two plays account for 80 percent of shale oil production. Furthermore the most productive areas constitute relatively small sweet spots within these plays.
- Maintaining production requires high rates of high-cost drilling—8,600 new wells annually for shale gas and oil. This will increase as sweet spots are drilled off.
- High drilling rates require extremely high rates of investment—$48 billion a year to maintain shale gas and oil production considering drilling costs alone—much more if full cycle costs are included. These costs will increase dramatically as plays age.
- Wall Street promoted the shale gas drilling frenzy, which resulted in prices lower than the cost of production and thereby profited [enormously] from mergers & acquisitions and other transactional fees.
- Shale gas has become one of the largest profit centers in some investment banks, in direct parallel with the decline of natural gas prices.
- Due to extreme levels of debt, stated proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs) may have been out of compliance with SEC rules at some shale companies because of the threat of collateral default for some operators.

Mr A. Dollinger pointed out some additional areas that I had overlooked when adding "Local" Meta Tags when I built my latest website. After I added the "Local Tags" I went ahead and checked my site to see how Google's Search Engine viewed and parsed the site and found that the simple changes Mr Dolllinger suggested will boost my websites SEO standing for the St Louis Region.
I don't usually accept 'Freebies' but was Pleasantly surprised at the outcome of his SEO suggestions! So much so he will be listed on the Site as SEO Guru!
Yes I recommend and will call on Mr Dollinger in the future.
Build Green,
