THE WHITE HOUSE    President Obama marks a historic moment in our global efforts to combat climate change: Today in the Rose Garden, President Obama announced that enough countries have acted to bring the Paris Agreement into force -- a historic step forward in saving the one planet we’ve got. Watch his remarks: "Today, the world meets the moment. And if we follow through on the commitments that this agreement embodies, history may well judge it as a turning point for our planet." Here's how we got to this point: Last year, leaders from nations across the globe gathered in Paris to announce a historic agreement to combat climate change. The Paris Agreement established the strong global consensus that reduces carbon pollution and sets the world on a low-carbon course. For the agreement to go into effect, 55 countries representing 55 percent of global emissions had to formally join. In September, the U.S. and China, countries that represent 40 percent of emissions, officially joined. And today, the world crossed the threshold needed to bring the Paris Agreement into effect. Watch the President's statement, or read it below. "Ten months ago, in Paris, I said before the world that we needed a strong global agreement to reduce carbon pollution and to set the world on a low-carbon course. The result was the Paris Agreement. Last month, the United States and China -- the world’s two largest economies and largest emitters -- formally joined that agreement together. And today, the world has officially crossed the threshold for the Paris Agreement to take effect. "Today, the world meets the moment. And if we follow through on the commitments that this agreement embodies, history may well judge it as a turning point for our planet. "Of course, it took a long time to reach this day. One of the reasons I ran for this office was to make America a leader in this mission. And over the past eight years, we’ve done just that. In 2009, we salvaged a chaotic climate summit in Copenhagen, establishing the principle that all nations have a role to play in combating climate change. And at home, we led by example, with historic investments in growing industries like wind and solar that created a steady stream of new jobs. We set the first-ever nationwide standards to limit the amount of carbon pollution that power plants can dump into the air our children breathe. From the cars and trucks we drive to the homes and businesses in which we live and work, we’ve changed fundamentally the way we consume energy. "Now, keep in mind, the skeptics said these actions would kill jobs. And instead, we saw -- even as we were bringing down these carbon levels -- the longest streak of job creation in American history. We drove economic output to new highs. And we drove our carbon pollution to its lowest levels in two decades. "We continued to lead by example with our historic joint announcement with China two years ago, where we put forward even more ambitious climate targets. And that achievement encouraged dozens of other countries to set more ambitious climate targets of their own. And that, in turn, paved the way for our success in Paris -- the idea that no nation, not even one as powerful as ours, can solve this challenge alone. All of us have to solve it together. "Now, the Paris Agreement alone will not solve the climate crisis. Even if we meet every target embodied in the agreement, we’ll only get to part of where we need to go. But make no mistake, this agreement will help delay or avoid some of the worst consequences of climate change. It will help other nations ratchet down their dangerous carbon emissions over time, and set bolder targets as technology advances, all under a strong system of transparency that allows each nation to evaluate the progress of all other nations. And by sending a signal that this is going to be our future -- a clean energy future -- it opens up the floodgates for businesses, and scientists, and engineers to unleash high-tech, low-carbon investment and innovation at a scale that we’ve never seen before. So this gives us the best possible shot to save the one planet we’ve got. "I know diplomacy *can be [isn't always] easy, and progress on the world stage can sometimes be slow. But together, with steady persistent effort, with strong, principled, American leadership, with optimism and faith and hope, we’re proving that it is possible. "And I want to embarrass my Senior Advisor, Brian Deese -- who is standing right over there -- because he worked tirelessly to make this deal possible. He, and John Kerry, Gina McCarthy at the EPA, everybody on their teams have done an extraordinary job to get us to this point -- and America should be as proud of them as I am of them. "I also want to thank the people of every nation that has moved quickly to bring the Paris Agreement into force. I encourage folks who have not yet submitted their documentation to enter into this agreement to do so as soon as possible. And in the coming days, let’s help finish additional agreements to limit aviation emissions, to phase down dangerous use of hydrofluorocarbons -- all of which will help build a world that is safer, and more prosperous, and more secure, and more free than the one that was left for us. "That’s our most important mission, to make sure our kids and our grandkids have at least as beautiful a planet, and hopefully more beautiful, than the one that we have. And today, I'm a little more confident that we can get the job done. "So thank you very much, everybody." Watch the President's statement here.   This email was sent to human4us@bell.net.

Canada's Medicare system is under attack!

The fight to save our medical system

Joseph, Right now, a precedent-setting constitutional challenge is before the courts that will dictate the future of our public healthcare system. If the head of one of Canada’s most notorious private hospitals gets his way, doctors could be able to charge whatever they want for services and surgeries, and US insurance companies would be able to move into Canada. Make no mistake: this is not about making Canada’s healthcare system better. This is a reckless plan to privatize Canada’s public healthcare system in the name of corporate profit. In this David and Goliath battle, Dr. Day and his profiteers may have bottomless pockets. But they don’t have something we do: people power. There are thousands of us from across the country who are willing to do whatever it takes to save our healthcare system from US-style privatization.    The fight to save our public healthcare system is going to be long. Whatever the decision, it could be appealed and end up in the Supreme Court of Canada. Right now, we need to make sure this campaign stays in the media cycle and to be able to respond to urgent breakthroughs in the campaign. Monthly donations are a key way to achieve that while allowing us to plan ahead. If you can and only if you can, please donate! It will keep us in the fight!  Joseph, will you chip in to help save public healthcare in Canada? Any amount helps, but the best way to donate is monthly, so that we have the ongoing resources to plan ahead and go big to stop this takeover. DONATE CA$3 A MONTH DONATE CA$5 A MONTH DONATE CA$10 A MONTH DONATE CA$20 A MONTH Last week, we made a big splash outside the BC Supreme Court.Because members like you chipped in, we made sure top lawyers were able to testify at the hearings, powered a press conference outside the Supreme Court of BC, and delivered nearly 40,000 signatures to Cambie Surgeries Corporation. With loads of press watching, we heard from a mother who received the same operation in a private and public hospital -- and experienced first-hand what happens when profits are put before people. A psychiatric nurse spoke about privatization from the perspective of working with Vancouver’s most vulnerable communities. And a healthcare researcher laid out findings from reports conducted across the globe from Australia to the UK -- and the results are damning. Privatization costs more and it compromises patient care. Now, we need to take this campaign to the next level to make sure our precious public health care system isn’t sold off to the highest bidder. With your monthly donation, we can pull off tactics like: Offering ongoing support for our legal team to be able to keep lending critical support to this campaign; Projecting messages from thousands of us the day that Dr. Day takes the stand about why we need to protect healthcare; Radio ads across Canada to let Canadians know what is at stake from this lawsuit; Regular and sustained protests and presence outside Cambie Surgeries; Rapid response to counter Day’s lies in court and in the media To win this fight, we have our work cut out for us. But public healthcare is the bedrock of Canadian society. We rely on it - let’s make sure we save it. DONATE CA$3 A MONTH DONATE CA$5 A MONTH DONATE CA$10 A MONTH DONATE CA$20 A MONTH Thanks for all that you do, Emma, Angus, Rosa and the team at SumOfUs PS. P.S. Check out the photos from our awesome petition delivery last week. PPS. Can't make a monthly donation? Not to worry. If you can spare a few coins, please consider chipping in just once to help power this campaign. Every little bit counts. SumOfUs is a worldwide movement of people like you, working together to hold corporations accountable for their actions and forge a new, sustainable path for our global economy.

About religious beliefs.

A few words about religious beliefs.

 I continue to be surprised at how many people  follow religious beliefs! Of course I do understand why religious people believe almost anything. Eternal energy cannot be explained and so throughout the centuries a few smart people decided to take advantage of this fact. All religions going back centuries are based on a fear of the unknown and all religious leaders use some form of hypnotic repetition to help calm fear. A deep religious belief often helps to sustain a believer through many of the tragedies in life and this gives modern day peaceful religions some purpose and value for existing. Of course a knowledge of basic psychology with health food and vitamins does help the rest of us cope with overwhelming emotions.

A new African American history museum in Washington.

I've been waiting to see this day for 15 years -- and in some ways, my whole life.
I've loved history ever since I was a little boy. Growing up in the oppressive shadow of Jim Crow, my teachers would ask me to cut out photographs I found in magazines and newspapers of Rosa Parks, George Washington Carver, and other marchers for justice. I read about Booker T. Washington, reveled in the sounds of the Jubilee Singers, and prayed for a King to reach the mountaintop.
To me, history is the foundation of a powerful legacy, and it is important to tell the stories of the millions of black men and women, boys and girls, who labored and sacrificed, and continue the struggle, to build this great nation.
When I learned of the decades-long effort to establish a national museum dedicated to preserving that too often untold story, I readily joined the effort. Every session of Congress for 15 years, I introduced a bill to create this national museum.
While the journey has been long, today the history of African Americans will finally take its place on the National Mall next to the monuments to Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson -- exactly where it belongs.
It is important that the National Museum of African American History and Culture tells the unvarnished truth of America's history -- a story that speaks to the soul of our nation, but one few Americans know.
It's a reminder that 400 years of history can't be buried; its lessons must be learned. By bringing the uncomfortable parts of our past out of the shadows, we can better understand what divides us and seek to heal those problems through our unity.
If we look at the glass-topped casket that displayed the brutalized body of Emmett Till and hear his story, we may better understand the exasperation and anger Americans feel today over the deaths of Trayvon Martin or Tamir Rice.
If we see that an everyday leather wallet is what's left of Harry T. Moore -- a man who fought for the right to vote and died in a bombing meant to silence his activism on Christmas Day in 1951 -- perhaps we will see why so many are fighting to protect any encroachment on that most sacred right today.
And as we look at the exhibit dedicated to an African American who now leads the free world from a White House built by black slaves, we can better understand the unshakeable optimism that has defined his belief that -- with dedicated work and a little good trouble -- we can help create a society that is more fair and more just, which benefits all Americans.
This museum casts a light on some of the most inspiring -- and uniquely American -- heroes who were denied equal rights but often laid down their lives to defend this nation in every generation. Often they profited least from the struggle they were willing to die for because they believed that the promises of true democracy should belong to us all, equally and without question.
I hope you will join me and President Obama for the opening ceremony of the National Museum of African American History and Culture today at 10:00 am ET.
When you hear about the heroes memorialized in its halls, you may discover the depths of the invincible American spirit. As we learn and confront this history together, we can begin to build one inclusive, and truly democratic family -- the American family.
Rep. John Lewis

A new Million soldier army.

Gentle People:

   World peace seems to be flying away from us fast! With Assad's military government in Syria killing thousands of innocent Syrians and blowing the hell out of  humanitarian medical convoys, the U.N. brokered peace agreement is an exploded hope! Apparently Assad and his small army need to be arrested but the problem is the fact Assad is being protected by his good friend Putin of Russia. The Russian leader also has to be arrested but his army is much larger and it has nuclear weapons! Assad is playing the U.S. against Russia in an effort to protect himself from certain arrest and certain death and listening to him speak one marvels at his mild mannered composure as he politely accuses the U.S. of lying to the media.

 My solution is to create and mobilize one extremely large United Nations peace force with a million soldiers from every country but the U.S. and Russia. Send the new United Nations Blue helmet army into Syria with orders to arrest or shoot anybody holding a gun. That would include Americans and Russians and any Syrian fanatics who get in their way. If this were to happen I tend to believe the U.S. and Russia would back off and leave Assad to the dictates of justice. If we are going to have war lets have a real war with soldiers against soldiers and lets stop the current vicious and cruel bombing and shooting of defenseless innocent: men and women and children.
