With the American economy on the brink of collapse, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the second version of an unprecedented $700 billion government bailout of the struggling financial industry on October 3, 2008, which President George W. Bush signed into law. The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly approved their version of the bill earlier this week after the House rejected the first version. However, the two Senators from Alabama went against the political grain and vehemently voiced their disapproval of the bailout.
Steadfast in his opposition to this $700 Billion economic bailout, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL)...

BURLINGTON, VT - Phish has announced they are planning to get back together after their breakup in 2005. Members of Phish are very active on environmental issues, as seen in this MTV Choose or Lose video that I produced starring Phish's drummer and namesake, Jon Fishman. Fishman and his band started the Waterwheel Foundation in 1997. Since then it has donated more than $1,000,000 to environmental organizations cleaning up Lake Champlain. This reunion will certainly help the Waterwheel Foundation raise more money and further clean up Lake Champlain! The band will play 3 shows in Hampton, Virginia in March 2009 and "intends to announce additional touring in 2009 early next year."

[September 24, 2008] Thousands of Endangered Watercress Darter fish were killed when Regina Nummy, the director of the Roebuck-Hawkins Park authorized the removal of a beaver dam which drained the pond and habitat for this beautiful endangered species that is found in Alabama and nowhere else in the world. This federal crime is still under investigation. Nummy authorized city officials to remove the dam because it was flooding the four tennis courts. The city of Birmingham is also under investigation. A representative from the city said that they have orders not to go into the creek or spray pesticides near it. This video below features Mark Martin, the prosecuting attorney from Black Warrior Riverkeeper, Alabama Rivers Alliance, and the publisher of the independent news site, LocustFork.net
