With our environment in peril MA residents must elect Rep. Markey to Senate.
With our environment in peril from anthropogenic climate change we need Rep. Ed Markey leadership in the U.S Senate. MA residents must elect Rep. Markey to Senate.
Common Sense Solution to Handle Climate Change
A tax on fossil fuels is one common sense solution to help states get back at least a fraction of the billions of dollars spent on storms resulting from Climate Change. While we work invest in clean alternatives we must also make up for the billions of dollars in recovery by passing a Pigovian tax on such fuels.
We Must End Gender Expression Discrimination Nationwide
The denial of equal protection under the law for transgendered and Gender-Non Conforming individuals is unjust, and unamerican. However, the conversations regarding expanding rights toward groups that have been left out is a very American one. Our counties history is filled with great moments, where through great struggle we expanded rights to groups who deserve it because they are American, and further more they are human.
Currently, only 21 States ban employment discrimination based on Gender Identity. This is unacceptable, we must demand of a the end of discrimination based on gender idenity nation wide. Not gaureenting equal protections that their cisgendered counterpars are under the law blatanly unconstitutional and just plain wrong. All states have the obligation to protect the rights of it's minoties. As a New Yorker, I am not pleased that our state has yet to pass such protections for Transgendered Individuals. I am shocked that there is not a greater outcry to pass the Genda Expression Non-Discrimination Act. We must live up to our reputation as being the state that leads on expanding rights, not follows. As an American I DEMAND FEDERAL PROTECTIONS FOR TRANSGENDERED and gender non-cnforming individuals. It's appaling that we will allow politics or popular opinion to trump civil rights. This is unnacceptable and we must make it right now by passing a Federal Gender Non-Discrimination Act. Transgendered individuals have the right to these protections regardless of where they live.

Happy Holidays from Brooklyn, New York
As we celebrate this holidays season with those we love we must not take for granted our health and the health of our loved ones. We must also pray for the health of our neighbors and for comfort for those families affected by the tragedy in Newton, CT. While we pray we must also act. One way that anyone can become apart of making a change in gun policy is by contacting their member of Congress and asking that something be done about gun control immediately. Please take a moment this holiday season to contact your representative so that in 2013 we don't find ourselves mourning the loss of another innocent child slain by gun violence.
CLICK HERE to contact your member of Congress.
Happy Holidays, Be Well
Jay

Today I had a self care day. I just took time out to do whatever I wanted to do. The day started off in Noho where I stopped off for some Oolong tea at my friends house. Oolong tea is a traditional Chinese tea and has a very strong taste to it.

After tea I went for a walk in Washington Sq. Park where I watched people play in the big fountain. I love to have snowball fights here in the winter.
