URGENT: Take Action RIGHT NOW (Yes, Sunday)! PETA.

Dear David,

At this very moment, Congress is finalizing plans to help those hurt financially by the growing COVID-19 crisis, including nonprofits like PETA. We—and every other animal protection group you may support—need you to voice your support for these plans RIGHT NOW!

The impact of the pandemic is already being felt across PETA, making our vital advocacy and campaign work more challenging than ever. We're doing all that we can to help as many animals as possible during the current situation, but the widespread belt-tightening is certain to hit our budget hard during the weeks and months ahead.

Among the emergency measures EXPECTED TO BE VOTED ON SHORTLY is the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

If passed, this act would offer grants to nonprofits providing a variety of important services, unlock more giving with a short-term charitable tax deduction, and ensure that nonprofit organizations of all stripes have access to loans now made available to for-profit businesses.
 
PLEASE DON'T WAIT—CONTACT YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS RIGHT NOW!
 
And once you've taken action, be sure to share this e-mail with your family and friends. We need the support of every person as quickly as possible to ensure that this critically important measure passes Congress with complete consideration for nonprofits.

Thank you for keeping PETA's work for animals going strong during this crisis.

Sincerely,

Ingrid E. Newkirk
President

HEY, CAN YOU SIGN THIS? JAIME HARRISON, U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE, SOUTH CAROLINA.

Democrat Jaime Harrison is running for U.S. Senate to defeat Lindsey Graham because half of South Carolina wants him gone. If you would like to only receive our most important updates, click here. If you would like to unsubscribe, click here.



He knows he’s got a real fight on his hands -- we can defeat him in November.But Lindsey has people like Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell on his side, and millions of dollars stashed away to protect his seat in the Senate.So I need to know if I can count on your help.Will you pledge to do whatever you can to DEFEAT Lindsey Graham this November?I’ll cut to the chase: Lindsey Graham is running scared.
I pleadge to DEFEAT Lindsey Graham


Folks, Lindsey Graham isn’t who he used to be.

He traded his moral compass for petty political gain and sold out his constituents, all while taking millions of dollars from special interests.

And while folks here in South Carolina are suffering, he’s flying around on Air Force One and trying to please Donald Trump.

I know South Carolina deserves a whole lot better than Lindsey Graham in the Senate.

So I’m asking you personally: Will you pledge to do whatever you can to help me DEFEAT Lindsey Graham?
SIGN THE PLEDGE →

Having you on the team means the world to me,
JAIME HARRISON

THE KEY TO FIGHTING ALL DISEASES AND PATHOGENS: FOLLOWING THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD. PART 1.


Lab, Tests, Science, Team, Diagnotico

As the Controversy Continues over GLOBAL WARMING, THE POLITICS OF THE SUBJECT ARE PUSHING ASIDE WHAT REALLY COUNTS, LEAVING US WITH THE FOLLOWING;

ARE CONCLUSIONS BASED UPON THE PRINCIPLES OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD, LOGIC, AND CRITICAL THINKING COMING UNDER ATTACK BY THOSE PUSHING A POLITICAL AGENDA THAT IS ENTIRELY SELF- SERVING, AND CARES NOTHING ABOUT THE REALITY
OF THE SITUATION?

This Article is not going to Address the GLOBAL WARMING Controversy Itself, but will look at THE PROCESSES BEING USED TO ARRIVE AT THE DIFFERENT CONCLUSIONS BEING OFFERED TO BEST EXPLAIN THE EVIDENCE RELEVANT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER.  IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO FIND THE TRUTH ABOUT ANY NATURAL PHENOMENA, AND WHAT WILL LEAD US TO REAL ANSWERS INSTEAD OF BOGUS ASSERTIONS.

First, a Few Guidelines.

-  If one side spends most of its Time and Energy Attempting to Poke Holes in the Oppositions Theories, Evidence, and Conclusions, and Little on its Own Arguments that Support Their Position, IT MAY BE BECAUSE THEY HAVE LITTLE TO OFFER.

-  Arguing Motivations is a Meaningless Waste of Time.  The SCIENTIFIC METHOD IS NOT A VALUE BASED WAY OF LOOKING AT THE NATURAL WORLD.  LIKE THE RULES OF LOGIC AND CRITICAL THINKING,  THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD ACTS INDEPENDENTLY OF THE REASONS BEHIND THE SEARCH FOR ANSWERS.

-  What is the Source of the Evidence, Testimony, and Opinions being offered? For Example, Are they Taken From Peer Reviewed Material that has been Heavily Examined and Scrutinized for any Procedural Mistakes?

FINALLY, WHAT TYPE OF EVIDENCE WOULD EITHER SIDE CONSIDER IMPORTANT AND CRUCIAL ENOUGH THAT IT WOULD CHANGE THEIR POSITION ON THE SUBJECT?

END PART 1.
