How does our need for energy impact communities?

As our human population soars, we must keep finding and using the earth's natural resources to feed our huge appetite for energy. But it is not only the earth we change as we use up its resources but it is also the small communities, which are impacted and often destroyed, taking with them diverse cultures and traditions.
KETC/Channel 9 and the Missouri History Museum are exploring the impact of coal energy and mining through the free screening of the Independent Lens film, "Deep Down". The free screening will take place Nov. 4, 2010 at 7:00 P.M. in the Missouri History Museum. For the panel discussion after the screening, KETC is looking for a local person who has experience or knowledge in coal energy and/or mining and who would love to engage in a conversation with the audience.
Please click on this link to respond through our Public Insight Network and help us find the person who can discuss: How does our need for energy impact communities?

Thanks, we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Carnahan Election News-Message to Roy Blunt

On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 2:47 PM, Robin Carnahan <no-reply@robincarnahan.com> wrote:

Dear Scotts Contracting,

Congressman Roy Blunt has been getting a little hot around the collar lately.

In the last few weeks, he's been lashing out at reporters and refusing to answer the most straightforward questions. For instance:

"...Blunt got angry with reporters asking questions about a controversy that has dogged his campaign since last week." [NBCActionNews.com, 10/27/10]

"Blunt Gets Testy With KMBC's Micheal Mahoney" [KMBC 10/27/10]

"Blunt contained his emotions, but he appeared angry... He left without speaking to reporters." [Kansas City Star, 10/15/10]

"...the exchange may have left Blunt short tempered. After the debate he left the venue without speaking to reporters." [KOLR, 10/15/10]

So why all the fuss?

Simple: Congressman Blunt doesn't like it when Missourians question his record or try and hold him accountable for his 14 year Washington record of wasteful spending, corruption and sticking it to the middle class.

And that's exactly what I've been doing.

Harry Truman said, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."

And I say the bull stops here.

Donate $25 today and help us hold Congressman Blunt's feet to the fire. Every dollar you give will help us pay for door hangers, phone calls to voters, and radio ads so Missourians hear the truth. Just 5 more days - time to turn up the heat!

Thanks,

Robin

Dear Supporter:

Taken together, the individual energy-efficiency actions of many can help us secure a stronger economy, greater national security and a cleaner environment.

Congress: Donate Oil Company Contributions To Save The Gulf

Election Day is next week, with many Democrats, Republicans, and Independents fighting tooth and nail for seats in Congress and in state races around the U.S. And, as with every election cycle, the source of campaign contributions are under scrutiny. One group in particular is never taken to task, yet continues to pour money into these races: the oil and gas industry. During 2010, these contributors fed nearly $14 million to federal political parties and candidates.

These bloated funds represent money that could be used to clean up the massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Urge your representatives in Congress to donate the contributions that they have received from oil and gas companies to support charities working to save wildlife, infrastructure, and the environment in the Gulf.
