You might’ve seen it in the news. The legislative session came to a close at midnight, and despite hundreds of citizen lobby visits and thousands of phone calls and even more emails to legislators, the House never brought the Paid Sick Days bill to a vote.

But because of all your support, it’s not over. We’re pushing into over-time.

Yesterday, the leaders of the House and Senate began planning for a special session to complete unfinished business. And we have a chance to get the Paid Sick Days bill on the schedule for the special session, if we act now.

We need your help to bring Paid Sick Days back to life. Click here to email the House and Senate leadership and DEMAND they put Paid Sick Days on the agenda for the special session. [Read more →]

Anyone who can’t or chooses to not drink any beverage with caffeine in it take note. A month ago at one of my favorite places to buy organic herbs, I came upon a tea called Dawn Chorus. What a wonderful flavor and blend. This tea is a tea that one would send a special note to the Blender of teas to highly compliment the work. Mountain Rose Herbs describes this tea in this way.

“Dawns Chorus Tea is gentle, yet full of heart and substance, this delicately balanced tea is a perfect way to start the day, and offers just the right amount of pick -me-up during times of afternoon lethargy. This mildly sweet and lightly fragrant nettle-based infusion is a superb alternative to the caffeine kick found in green and black teas. A new favorite at Mountain Rose and highly recommended. Contains: Organic Nettle leaf, Organic Green Rooibos and Organic Rose Petals. Traditionally used for-General health and energy.” [Read more →]
