Today, 69 million children in the world are denied the chance to go to school. These children could be our next generation’s leaders, sports stars, doctors and teachers. But they face a lifelong struggle against poverty.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Since 2000, 40 million more children are in school. Education beats poverty and gives people the tools to help themselves.

1GOAL is a campaign seizing the power of football to ensure that education for all is a lasting impact of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Raising our voices all over the world we believe that, together, we can make education a reality for the millions of boys and girls who remain out of school.

Jersey City Man Shot At More Than 25 Times Dies From Bullet That Entered His Back!
The 12:17 a.m. incident began at Ocean and Winfield Avenues.
Late night shooting in Jersey City leaves 21-year-old dead, officials say
You Gotta Be Trying To Kid Me!

A 21-year-old Jersey City man was found lying on the sidewalk dead of an apparent gunshot wound after police responded to a report of a shooting near Ocean and Pearsall Avenues, according to Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio.

What's going on! You Guys know better than to live like this. I know where these streets are. I used to wait on Ocean Ave. to get the bus to the Mall. I felt that safe there 5 years ago! Yeah I knew there was some violence but from what I've been reading here in the Jersey Journal, you are all killing yourselves and each other. I don't know you personally, but I probably went to school with your Grandmothers!

And if you're reading this, you know that everything I say about my life in Bayonne is all true and that I am giving you all the best advice anyone ever gave you! Go to Bayonne, ask about Georgia! Watch eyes roll. You don't even need a last name, they'll know who you mean!

Stop the violence now! Bad drugs, fools, you get mad at somebody and shoot them, but you don't get mad at the garbage drugs out there on the street, and continue to buy and take them like sheep, and you also go for buying those cheap second hand, go off in a second guns!

Let me think, If I Can Remember, Oh yeah, guns, bad drugs, alcohol, being 21 and uneducated = A Lethal Combination! Stop and think about what I'm saying. I know, I was 21 too, a long time ago, before the mind control!

DOMA Is Against Federally Recognizing Gay Americans Marriage Rights!

U.S.C. § 1738C. Under the law, also known as DOMA,
no state (or other political subdivision within the United States) needs to treat as a marriage a same-sex relationship considered a marriage in another state.
(DOMA Section 3); the Federal Government defines marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman.
Enacted by the 104th United States Congress.
DOMA No State Needs To Treat As A Marriage A Same-Sex Relationship Considered A Marriage In Another State

President Obama, refutes DOMA and he wants to change this law to allow marriages of Gay Americans to be recognized Federally, not the opposite!

Also, Section 3 of this law, was declared unconstitutional by a Federal District Court Judge in July 2010.
This decision was appealed in October 2010 and again, on February 23, 2011.

The President's determination concerning DOMA; not being in accordance with the United States Constitution, won't stop appeals by those who want to enforce the law.
His decision contends that the government will no longer uphold this law, and further disputes that DOMA can be declared constitutional upon appeal.
As a result of this, now members of Congress will have to ask permission from the courts to defend the law, if they want to.

World Leaders, Do Something!
Stop Tearing Down the Rainforest Immediately*
The destruction of the Rain forest is what's causing all the natural disasters all over the world*

The Rain forest is a natural wind block and by cutting it down wind patterns are changing and becoming stronger, influencing underwater currents and tides etc.
Thus Sunalis, earthquakes on small islands etc.
And it's a Natural Terrarium, tree tops enclose heat, moisture rises, rain falls.
Cycle Continues! Very Important To Our Environment in many ways!
Besides all the natural medicines that are being destroyed.

Rainforest Action Network campaigns for the forests, their inhabitants and the natural systems that sustain life by transforming the global marketplace through education, grassroots organizing, and non-violent direct action.
Since it was founded in 1985, the Rainforest Action Network has been working to protect rainforests and the human rights of those living in and around those forests.
