Olivia Schmidt with The Big Win: transmission lines won't garrot Mt Hood's pristine wildlands.

The Petition:

We Petition the Obama Administration To:

Remove United States District Attorney Carmen Ortiz from office for overreach in the case of Aaron Swartz.

It is too late to do anything for Aaron Swartz, but the who used the powers granted to them by their office to hound him into a position where he was facing a ruinous trial, life in prison and the ignominy and shame of being a convicted felon; for an alleged crime that the supposed victims did not wish to prosecute.

A prosecutor who does not understand proportionality and who regularly uses the threat of unjust and overreaching charges to extort plea bargains from defendants regardless of their guilt is a danger to the life and liberty of anyone who might cross her path.

And Good News from the Heart of Cascadia::

The PGE Cross-Cascades Transmission Corridor, Cascade Crossing, has signed an MOU with BPA to drop the leg of the power line that goes through Mt. Hood and Willamette National Forests. Instead, the line will stop at the Warm Springs Reservation.
