Yes we all hate those dreadful and awful solicitations and solitciators. But I wanted to share a petition I found on petitiononline.com. Its entitled, "Israeli settlements are a main obstacle to peace." The petition carries a long summary on settlements in terms of how they have caused destruction to Palestinian families through Israeli home demolitions, olive orchards destruction, the near completation of the illegal Apartheid-Speration wall running deep into the West Bank and also reminds the reader or anyone interested how the settlements are illegal under International Law. It was originally written in 2006 and originally addressed to President Bush and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. So far thirty one people have signed the petition. Anyone interested please pass this on to your colleagues, friends and relatives. The author wishes to remain anonymous.

She began to notice money was not properly tracked as it moved between different HUD departments and there was a lack of proper accounting mechanisms to deal with discrepancies in revenue indicated fraud at an alarming level. [28] She attempted to put in place some credible financial tracking mechanisms to identify where the money was going and to identify the responsible individuals and HUD departments, but after 18 months on the job she was suddenly fired by the Bush administration. Fitts was told the day after she left that her financial reforms through ‘place-based financial accounting and statements’ would also be terminated. [29]
