About Me
Deanna (Dee) Taylor deesings
This is my personal activist blog. I write about my activist activities, including the peace ☮ movment, Green Party, politics and other progressive endeavors.
Pledge to Life
I pledge allegiance to all life
in its interdependent diversity;
and to the Planet upon which it exists, one World, under the sky, undividable
with harmony and balance for all.

The sunflower is my favorite plant. Aside from its many uses (food, oil, etc.), it is a symbol of hope, peace, and nonviolence. I have a dedicated personal page on sunflowers. The link is in my list of links below.

This list was forwarded to me by a fellow Green who had received it from a colleague of hers.  He said he would add to this listThe Seventh Decade, The New Shape of Nuclear Danger which reveals the most inconvenient truth about the present status of nuclear weapons on planet earth.  This tragedy grows, like global warming, with the machinations of the present Bush administration.  The time to ban nuclear weapons is long overdue.
Ralph Nader’s Holiday Reading Recommendations
by Ralph Nader

‘Tis the Holiday Season and a time congenial for reading books. Here are my recommendations of recent books that relate to the quest for understanding today’s events:

1. Jeno: The Power of the Peddler, (Paulucci International) is the biography of 89-year-old multiple entrepreneur, Jeno Paulucci, of Duluth, Minnesota and Sanford, Florida. One of a kind, this human dynamo, starting from the raw poverty of the Iron Range, built company after company and sold them when they became successful. Along the way, he championed labor unions for his large companies, workers rights, sued even bigger companies, heralded the need to use the courts, defended prisoners unlawfully imprisoned and launched many other counter-intuitive initiatives. He just started another company before his 90th birthday. If you want to absorb human energy, read this book!
