\nImportant Stuff…<\/strong><\/p>\n

URGENT: Just in…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Florida Rescue Act<\/a> needs your support! The Florida Rescue Act<\/em> is now in Committee, which means you have to act now! This legislation would mandate that approved rescues have access to animals they want to save, insure crucial protections for homeless companion animals, and save taxpayer dollars. It’s a win-win! Please visit this website<\/a> to email the House Committee members and ask them to vote ‘Yes’ on HB 597, the Florida Animal Rescue Act. All committee member email addresses and a sample email are provided for your convenience.<\/p>\n

Stop Internet Piracy Act…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you heard about SOPA? SOPA is the “Stop Internet Piracy Act<\/a> (Protect IP Act).” Why is it important? ‘Cause if this bill goes through, the US government will have the power to shut down ANY website, blog, etc. that is thought to have infringed on someone’s copyright. According to an ABC news article<\/a>, “SOPA has been presented in the House of Representatives as a way to protect movie studios, record labels and others whose music and films are taken and copied online.”<\/p>\n

The article goes on to say, “According to Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google, said the bills would overdo it \u2014 giving copyright holders and government the power to cut off websites unreasonably. They could be shut down, and search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo could be stopped from linking to them.”<\/p>\n

There is a petition<\/a> out to try and stop this bill from passing: “The IP Act (S.968 – PROTECT IP Act of 2011) establishes a system for taking down websites that the Justice Department determines to be “dedicated to infringing activities.” The DoJ or the copyright owner would be able to commence a legal action against the alleged infringer and the DoJ would be allowed to demand that search engines, social networking sites and domain name services block access to the targeted site. In some cases, action could be taken to block sites without first allowing the alleged infringer to defend themselves in court. The PROTECT IP Act would allow copyright owners \u2013 movie studios and other content providers \u2013 simply to accuse a website of infringement, which could lead to that site being shut down by court order and entire links to the site being wiped clean from the Internet. The bill is so poorly written that it would allow any copyright owner to shut down a legitimate retail website, such as Amazon or Best Buy, by alleging that one product being sold on the site could \u201cenable or facilitate\u201d an infringement. It could even allow any content owner to block access to the Patent Office website if it receives and posts a patent application for a product that is believed to use content without permission. The PROTECT IP Act will hurt American innovation. This bill will give one side the power to put the other side out of business and this is dangerous beyond words.”<\/p>\n

If you want to help stop the government from controlling the Internet, please sign this petition<\/a>, send an email to Congress<\/a> (to your representatives), and share this information with all of your friends!<\/p>\n

Now for squirrelies…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Squirrel
\nMommy and I heard a sound, and thought it was a bird!
\nNope! It was a squirrel! It was making squeaking sounds!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Squirrel
\nHe was staring down at us!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Squirrel
\nIf I moved to the left, he did too!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Squirrel
\nIf I moved closer, he tried to hide!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Squirrel
\nThen he looked over at me, and I ran around
\nthe yard. When I came back around to mommy, I
\nlooked up, and the squirrel was gone. <\/em><\/center><\/p>\n

Squirrel Sees Me, Video<\/strong> If you want to hear cute little squirrely sounds, keep your sound up. You’ll also be able to hear me rustling leaves in the grass, while trying to reach the squirrel. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
