DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Opposition to Barrick God Mining Operations
quoted from Rocio Diaz
In 2009, the Dominican people stood up to fight against a cemnt factory that would be installed in the Los Haitises national park...In 2010. it appears that another cause is mobilizing thousands of young people and adults -the presence of the mining consortium Barrick God in Cotui, the head municipality in the province of Sanchez Ramirez which is home to one of the largest Gold mines in the world....
Pueblo Viejo (Old Town) with estimated reserves of 24 millions troy ounces of gold. Activists are concerned about the terms of the agreement with the Dominican State...as well as impacts of the region.
This report has been borrowed from Ms Diaz....I have been investigating in an informal way and it seems that the contract made between the Barrick Gold and the previous President Mejia....was better than the one made with Fernandez for the latter Fernandez got an award in Canada....go figure...
some people are claiming that income from the contracts...should be added to the national budget....we want infrastructure and hospitals and schools to be constructed with the proceedings of the money coming from the contract....Im pretty sure that the Barrick God does not do charity work...if they are in the Pueblo Viejo is because they are making money..another aspect of the operations is the contamination of the waters of the rivers that are located close or near the mines....I will investigate more on the isssue....also you could refer to the geologist Osiris de Leon, he has written about the subject...

Marco Rubio
Marco Rubio delivers response to President Obama State of the Union Address:
Marco Rubio does it again...lying in front of millions of people....what, he thinks he is not going to be debunked...I personally remember when President Obama was offering tax incentives to small businesses and Republicans refused to pass the bill....during his first term and Rubio is saying that Obama did not help small businesses....maybe he was thinking of going back to Cuba...

The Postal Office has its own police..force 1400 detectives ..to protect us from Mail fraud...contraband...child pornography, etc, drug shipment.. terrorism. remember when they were mailing anthrax.
also it has prime real estate.....the lobbyists for the private mail companies and shipments are planning to take over the post office. Online shopping has increased,,,,and when you do you get a lot of options...US post office(regular mail) and they claim is the longest wait.....and other options...more expensive...Fedex.....etc.

The Postal Service is under attack by the GOP machine.....in 2006 at the lame duck session the Republicans rammed a law requiring the Postal service to fund their pension plan for 75 years...yes you
read it ...75 years...for people they havent even hired....it is ridiculous..it doent make sense..
The post office is working just fine except that pension thing....they claim that the Internet killed the post office..but the internet provides shopping...like Amazon...Potterybarn etc which create jobs for the postal service...people ordering over the mail...I urge you to write post cards to your congressmen...you have two senators and one house rep...it is 1.50 for the 3 piece of mail.
