He committed treason and put lives in jeopardy. Every Congress person represents the Federal government and is accountable for upholding the Laws of our Nation and the Constitution.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The “Justin’s movement “in Tennessee is just what John Lewis would have wanted; good trouble. Activists, proud of their heritage and religion and dedicated to political change. They’re changing the National conversation on gun violence, race and democracy. They remember, John Lewis once shut down the House of Representatives, to get a vote on gun Legislation. It didn’t happen in 2016 and in 2021, 48,000+ perished from suicides and homicides. Isn’t it time to reinstate the Ban on Assault Weapons? Isn’t it time to vote more community activists to local, State and the Federal Government?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Citizens can effectively overturn unconstitutional Laws. In Ohio, Kansas, California, Michigan, Kentucky , Montana and Vermont , citizen ballot’s codified a women’s right to an abortion. Citizen voting supports abortion rights. Since balloting is an effective way for citizens to be heard, states like Florida, Missouri, Idaho, North Dakota and Ohio want to take away our right to balloting.

TheVoiceOfJoyce The Canals of Venice are drying up . There’s been a drought in Italy and higher than normal temperatures. They call it an anti cyclone effect. The Po River is 61% of capacity and lack of rainfall in the Alps has contributed to low levels in the Canals, when flooding would have been normal. World cooperation is a necessity, raising awareness about the harms of fossil fuels, is a necessity. In Southeast Asia, where non cooperation is typical, no one can breathe from the air pollution. There coal burning and burning fields are contributing to increased levels of Carbon emissions and then the heat. It would take $5 Billion to cure the problems in Southeast Asia and generate $52 Billion in revenue. The math makes sense. It’s hard to change, I know, but change we must!

TheVoiceOfJoyce Our kids aren’t alright. 70% of young voters said that Gun Control Laws should be stricter and it’s their #1 concern. The Gen Z generation is suffering mental trauma after being part of gun violence or seeing it occur. Where is judgement free counseling, for our Kids? Safe spaces for them to play and seek non judge mental counseling? This society is still living in the past, trying to sweep feelings aside and not discuss them. I’ve learned it’s healthy to discuss how you feel. Once you can be honest about your feelings, you heal and help others. Can politicians change?

TheVoiceOfJoyce Weather extremes are the norm. The 4-5 inches of rain in the Sacramento area comes amidst a drought. The earthquakes felt before the New Year occurred in the Rio Del region. All these weather disturbances are an introduction to 2023 weather patterns. Unless we decrease fracking, mining and Fossil Fuel emissions of all types, expect the California weather patterns to become more extreme. There is a direct correlation between Carbon and methane emissions and weather extremes. If we don’t want useless land, all Fossil Fuel emissions have to decline. The destruction from weather extremes outweighs the benefits of Fossil Fuel usage.

TheVoiceOfJoyce The magnificent Havasupai Falls, the blue green lagoons will be restored along with critical infrastructure. FEMA is designating money for the area’s infrastructure. Rebuilding is required to allow the Havasupai to maintain their lands after recent torrential flooding. The FEMA money will help the Havasupai nation survive and allow them to reopen their area to tourists. Another problem must be addressed by the US government; uranium mining has to stop on Indian lands. It’s a blight on the environment and produces toxic waste. Where are the desist orders and orders for cleanup? Which Federal Dept oversees Uranium mining? Note: There is no more need for uranium tipped missiles, when cheap drones are effective.

Dr. Otto is working to lessen the damage caused by planet warming by lessening the impact of the weather. If people have an early warning system they can can prepare for extreme flooding or heat. Ultimately, she states, we know there’s a link between Fossil Fuel usage and weather extremes and we must eliminate Fossil Fuel usage to survive. What’s needed is knowing how to wean governments off Fossil Fuels. My suggestion is to reduce Fossil Fuel subsidies and start building alternative energy power immediately. “We need change”.

As the planet warms, the Emperor Penguin colonies are facing extinction along with many birds and nematodes, essential for soil replacement.
