Jewish Americans support President Obama's approach to keeping a nuclear bomb out of Iran’s hands.

Dear Friend, Just weeks ahead of the June 30 deadline for negotiations, this morning J Street released a new poll that confirms the majority of Jewish Americans support President Obama's approach to keeping a nuclear bomb out of Iran’s hands. In fact, the data prove yet again that the pundits and presumed Jewish communal representatives are flat-out wrong in assuming this community is hawkish on Iran or US policy in the Middle East in general. Download the full poll results American Jews express strong support for a final agreement with Iran that increases inspections in exchange for economic sanctions relief. Fifty-nine percent say they would support such a deal, compared to 53 percent of American adults in an April CNN poll that asked the same question. And the number goes even higher when the full terms of the proposal are described; fully 78 percent of American Jews would back an agreement that imposes intrusive inspections of Iran and caps its enrichment of uranium at a level far below what is necessary to make a nuclear weapon in exchange for phased relief from US and international sanctions. Another key finding? Overall, President Obama’s approval rating remains higher among American Jews than among Americans in general. Fifty-six percent approve of the way he is handling his job as president, compared to 45 percent of the general population, There's a lot more to learn from the data, but pollster Jim Gerstein laid out the big conclusion: “President Obama has often said that he has Israel’s back, and it is clear that American Jews have his back if he reaches an agreement with Iran. Jews support Obama’s efforts to reach an agreement with Iran, and they approve of the job he is doing as President of the United States.” We agree, and we're glad to count you among our supporters. - Jeremy Ben-Ami P.S.- With the Iran fight about to heat up in Washington, it's important that as many people as possible see these numbers. They need to know where American Jews actually stand. Can you help us spread the word and share the results with your friends, political and community leaders? © 2015 J Street

Protect a child, you save her for a day. Teach her to kick ass, you save her for a lifetime.

These kids are in danger of being snatched on the street or even sold by a parent desperate to pay debts. Many organizations are working hard to prevent kidnapping and trafficking and to rescue those who've been sold.

There's just simply no excuse for how this police officer responded to a call about a pool party.

Use your power to make the text of the TPP public!

just wanted to make sure you saw Sara's email from yesterday. A vote on Fast Track could come at any moment — and making the text of TPP public could really change the direction of this fight. If you've already taken action, can you forward this email to five of your friends to multiply our impact? Thanks, David Segal, Watchdog.net --- Watchdog.net has joined a coalition of eleven national groups to gather 100,000 signatures in support of Members of Congress using their power to publish the TPP — but time is running out. Click here to add your name >> Antonio — The Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, talks a big game for a bill that remains cloaked in secrecy. Repeatedly called "the most progressive trade bill in history," the multinational trade agreement — negotiated behind closed doors with representatives of some of the world's biggest corporations — promises sweeping reforms to the way we do business with eleven other countries and a laundry list of economic benefits. There's just one problem: we haven't seen the full text. Proponents of the bill want to keep it that way because they know you'll object to what's in it. They're pushing for the House to vote on Fast Track trade negotiating authority — essentially a vote to pre-approve the bill — possibly as soon as this week. If they have their way, the text of the TPP will still be secret from the public when the vote takes place. Click here to tell Congress: use your power to make the text of the TPP public! The three ways that members of Congress can take action on this — collectively, or individually — are pretty clear: The House and Senate Intelligence Committees have the power to declassify any document in their possession if they believe that doing so would serve the public interest; Any individual Member of Congress could publish — e.g., by entering into the Congressional Record — a portion of the draft TPP negotiating text, as Republican Congressman Darrell Issa did when he published the intellectual property chapter; Members of the House who have not yet committed to vote no on Fast Track could pledge to vote no on Fast Track if the text of the TPP is not made public before the vote.  Cick here to add your name and urge Congress to use its power to force publication of this secretive agreement. Thanks for standing with us. —Sara Cederberg, Watchdog.net Watchdog.net 30 Ritchie Ave Silver Spring, MD 20910 RELATED ARTICLE Join Elizabeth Warren In Condemning Fast Track And The TPP We are so thankful to  Senator Elizabeth Warren  for sounding the alarm  on Fast Track  and the so-called  Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP),  like  a regular Paul Revere.

U.S. Ousts Russia as Top World Oil, Gas Producer

U.S. Ousts Russia as Top World Oil, Gas Producer

Article by Rakteem Katakey published 10 June 2015 by Bloomberg.com

The U.S. has taken Russia’s crown as the biggest oil and natural-gas producer in a demonstration of the seismic shifts in the world energy landscape emanating from America’s shale fields.

U.S. oil production rose to a record last year, gaining 1.6 million barrels a day, according to BP Plc’s Statistical Review of World Energy released on Wednesday. Gas output also climbed, putting America ahead of Russia as a producer of the hydrocarbons combined.

The data showing the U.S.’s emergence as the top driller confirms a trend that’s helped the world’s largest economy reduce imports, caused a slump in global energy prices and shifted the country’s foreign policy priorities.

Former Shell exec Engelhardt Robbe now ruining Dutch rail

Former Shell exec Engelhardt Robbe now ruining Dutch rail

Just over 9 years ago, a Shell insider sent us a Shell internal email circulated on behalf of a then senior finance man at Shell, Engelhardt Robbe.

The description given by the insider is self-explanatory.

From a Shell Insider

Dear Alfred

When I saw this one I thought this was a joke, trying to outdo Dogbert of Scott Adams Dilbert. But this is serious matter, sent from a very senior Finance manager. Scott Adams manages to get the message across in 3 pictures. But it now is clear that the top of the Finance community in Europe has gone stark raving mad.
