More than half of the states now require allvoting machines to keep paper records of every vote.But some states are still ignoring the documentedproblems with unverified voting—we need Congress toact.In April, you'll have a rare opportunity to meet withmembers of Congress to ensure every single votingmachine in the country is secure and reliable. You canmake the greatest impact by going to Washington, D.C.to meet with legislators from your state. If you can'ttravel to the Capitol, there will also be localmeetings set up in some places. A coalition of groups,including Common Cause, VerifiedVoting.org, andVoteTrustUSA, is arranging these meetings.Tell Congress to get serious about the security of ourvoting machines. Click here to sign up:http://www.moveon.org/r?r=1531Constituent meetings like this are the most effectiveway to convince members of Congress they must act.Many MoveOn members traveled to D.C. last June, andthey helped convince dozens of representatives toco-sponsor Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ)'s Voter Confidenceand Increased Accessibility Act (H.R. 550). Votingmachine experts consider this bill the gold standardfor election integrity.Since then, one of the bill's most powerful opponentswas forced out of his leadership post because of hisinvolvement in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal.This, along with concerns about voting machinesecurity raised by the Carter-Baker election reformcommission and the non-partisan GovernmentAccountability Office, has opened a new window ofopportunity for H.R. 550.Now's the time to show members of Congress how seriouswe are about the integrity of our nation's votingmachines. As one of the MoveOn members who cares mostabout election integrity, can you attend a constituentmeeting?Meet with members of Congress this April in D.C. orlocally.

Last summer's constituent meetings drew attentionfrom the New York Times editorial board, which wrote:There are many problems with American elections, butnone more serious than the rise of paperlesselectronic voting, whose results cannot be trusted.Grass-roots reformers are in the middle of a two-daylobbying blitz on Capitol Hill in support of a Housebill that would require that electronic votingmachines in federal elections produce voter-verifiablepaper records. It is an important measure that shouldbe passed without delay.Read the rest of the editorial at:http://www.verifiedvotingfoundation.org/article.php?id=5879Support our member-driven organization: MoveOn.orgPolitical Action is entirely funded by our 3.3 millionmembers.

We areparticularly interested in hearing from former ITEP interns. What are youdoing now and how did ITEP programs help you.If you have a student that you want to recognize for environmental work, youcan submit an article for our spotlight feature.manEEOP Newsletter Environmental Education Outreach Program (EEOP) Volume 1, Issue 5 (February 2006) Web version @ http://www.nau.edu/eeop/newsletter The NewsletterThis newsletter is a service of the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) Environmental Education Outreach Program (EEOP). We’ve created this newsletter specifically for K-16 students and educators that are interested to learn more about environmental issues with a focus on air quality. There is also information and articles directed towards tribal environmental professionals.Air Quality – Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990The Clean Air Act has resulted in many air quality improvements. The first Clean Air Act was created in 1963. Since 1963 several amendments have been implemented. The 1990 Clean Air Act amendments give the state and tribes more control over setting their air pollution standard as long as that standard meets the basic minimum federal standard. The amendment was designed to address three major threats to the environment and human health, including acid rain, urban air pollution, and toxic air emissions. In addition, the amendment addresses reducing interstate and international pollution since air pollution does not recognize political boundaries.One of the key provisions of the 1990 amendment is the Tribal Authority Rule (TAR), which authorizes tribal governments to establish air quality management programs for their reservations in a manner similar to states. The rule establishes a flexible approach to air quality management. In cooperation with the USEPA, tribes make decisions about how they will implement an air program. Tribes are not required to implement all the provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA). Where tribes decide to not carry out their own program, the EPA will develop federal programs to ensure adequate protection of air quality for tribal lands.The Clean Air Act (CAA) recognizes tribal sovereignty over reservation lands and offers tribal governments the opportunity to be full partners with EPA in regulating the air quality on their reservations. However, many tribes don’t have the resources to implement an air quality program. One important resource needed is trained staff to implement a program. Programs like the American Indian Air Quality Training Program (AIAQTP) are designed to help address this issue by providing training for tribal staff. One of the goals of another program, the Environmental Education Outreach Program (EEOP), is to increase the level of science and technology education for tribal students. Students with scientific knowledge and understanding can move into important tribal agency positions that involve air quality protection. Additional information on these programs can be found at http://www.nau.edu/itep/.Clean air is an important element of Native American culture, contributing to the health and quality of life for tribal members. For many tribes, nature and scenic landscapes are sacred - reductions in visibility caused by air pollution are an affront to their heritage. For others, the economic health of the reservation depends upon local industries, such as tourism, hunting, and fishing that rely on clean air. An air regulatory program can help to ensure that air quality on a reservation remains clean and healthy.Knowledge of air pollution, its sources, and its impacts on people and the environmental is needed in order to effectively address air quality problems on a reservation. Understanding the nature of an area’s air pollution problem requires a basic knowledge of pollution formation principles. Fundamentally, air pollution is caused by the build-up of harmful gases and articles in the air. This build-up is a function of two things: 1 – the amount of pollution released into the air, and 2 – the dispersion (or concentration) of the pollutants.Despite the progress made with the Clean Air Act (CAA), pollution still impacts on some communities. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), millions of Americans still live in communities with unhealthy air. For example, mercury emissions are still a serious problem. Mercury contaminates lakes, streams, and other water bodies which concentrate in fish. When consumed by pregnant women or children, mercury can interfere with the development and function of the central nervous system. Mercury can also lead to poor performance on tests on attention and language, impaired memory, impaired visual and motor function. For more information on the mercury issues you are encouraged to download an ITEP Native Voices newsletter on mercury, which can be found at http://www4.nau.edu/itep/about/assets/docs/NVSpring2004.pdfThis is the fourth in a series of articles on air quality. Previous EEOP Newsletter issues provided information on the history of air quality, indoor air pollution, and global warming. You can find these previous issues on the EEOP website. Next month we will review an air quality curriculum available for K-12 educators called Project AIRE. For more information on air quality visit the EEOP website at http://www.nau.edu/eeop/.GLOBE Training for Teachers in the Four Corners RegionThe EEOP staff will be conducting a Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) workshop at Monument Valley High School in Monument Valley, Utah on April 6th. The focus will be on atmosphere measurements and water quality measurements. If you would like to attend, you can download the registration form on the EEOP website http://www4.nau.edu/eeop/eeop_workshops.htmlGLOBE is a hands-on, school-based science and science education program that unites students, teachers, and scientists in study and research about the dynamics of the Earth's environment. Data from the student research is shared with other students and is used by scientists around the world. For more information about GLOBE, visit the GLOBE website at http://www.globe.gov/.If you have any questions about the workshop or want to learn more about GLOBE, contact Matthew Zierenberg at http://us.f523.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=matthew.zierenberg@nau.edu&YY=64843&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b or 928 523 8864.Water Education for Teachers in the Four Corners RegionThe EEOP staff is conducting two water education workshops. The first workshop, which will be on water quality, will be held in Chinle, AZ on March 23rd. The second workshop, which will address uranium mining issues, will be held in Crownpoint, NM on May 2d. Each teacher attending will receive water education curriculum. We have funding for either substitute teachers or teacher stipends for each workshop. You will find a flyer and a registration form for each workshop at http://www.nau.edu/eeop/eeop_workshops.html.If you have any questions about the workshops or want to learn more about the EEOP water education program, contact Mansel A. Nelson at http://us.f523.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=mansel.nelson@nau.edu&YY=64843&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b or Christine DeCarlo at 928 523 1496.Air Quality Education and Outreach for Tribal ProfessionalsThe EEOP staff conducted an Air Quality Education and Outreach training course for Air Quality Tribal Professionals at Haskell University, January 31st through February 3rd. The purpose of the training course is to prepare tribal professionals to conduct education and outreach activities in their respective communities. The course provides an overview of many approaches for conducting outreach. Examples include PowerPoint presentations, poster presentations, and learning activities.During one presentation participants reviewed the EPA publication called“Community Culture and the Environment - A Guide to Understanding a Sense of Place”. This publication provides tools and methods for understanding the human dimension of environmental protection. It is designed to provide leaders in the environmental field a means for better understanding community values and processes as they relate to environmental issues, thus resulting in more effective partnerships and approaches to solving environmental problems.The EEOP staff provided an overview of several air quality curriculums during the course. There are many learning activities available for teaching important concepts in air quality. Tribal professionals can adapt these learning activities for use in their communities. Participants received a couple curriculums and information on how to obtain additional curriculums. During the course several activities helped illustrate learning activities from the various curriculums. One curriculum, available via an EPA website, is Project AIRE, which can be downloaded at http://www.epa.gov/NE/students/teacher/aire.html.Participants also learn about a global warming curriculum that provides applications of science to real-life conditions. The curriculum explores global warming in a wide variety of formats, from hands-on science activities and experiments to a simulation game, analysis of articles, a story about an island threatened by rising sea levels, and a world conference on global warming. The curriculum guide has two major aims: to present the scientific theories and evidence behind the phenomenon of global warming, and to help people see environmental problems from different points of view. More information on the curriculum is available at http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/gems/GEM322.html.Another Air Quality Education and Outreach course is scheduled to start May 16th. The four-day course will be conducted on the Northern Arizona University (NAU) campus. If you are a Tribal Professional that wants to attend the course, please contact Mansel at http://us.f523.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=mansel.nelson@nau.edu&YY=64843&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b or 928 523 1496.Summer Scholars 2006The EEOP staff is starting the planning process for Summer Scholars 2006. Summer Scholars provides Native American students a one-week, on-campus pre-college residential experience. Middle and high school participants explore environmental issues, improve their technological skills, and build mentoring relationships with college student assistant instructors. The theme for Summer Scholars 2005 was global warming. Students participated in field trips, learning activities, and Problem Based Learning (PBL) sessions. At the end of the week students prepared recommendations on how to address the issue of global warming. Additional information on Summer Scholars can be found at http://www4.nau.edu/eeop/summerscholars/index.html.Summer Scholars is a collaborative effort between EEOP and the sponsoring school districts. School districts interested in developing a Summer Scholars Program for their students are invited to contact Matthew at http://us.f523.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=matthew.zierenberg@nau.edu&YY=64843&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b or 928 523 8864.SpotlightThe EEOP staff is interested in spotlighting environmental science or engineering students or tribal environmental professionals.

Earth Island is committed to nurturing new leaders whoaddress problem solving for a vital future.David Ross Brower: One can define youth by how trueone stays to their ideals. David Brower, perhaps more than anyother figure in the history of environmental advocacy, persistentlyre-envisioned the definition of "environment" over some 60 years ofactive work. He wanted to understand the true nature of complexecological relationships, drawing at every point on the latestscience and the latest creative thinking in order to define the urgentand emerging issues needing attention.

STAR is anannouncement only group but if you have pertinent information, please submitit for distribution. Welcome to STAR. Racism towards Native peoples in the United States has never been publiclyaddressed and needs to see a national movement such as occurred with theCivil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 60s. STAR is working towards fightingracism against Indian people in every aspect of American life, from mascots,to out dated texts, to schools that do not defend the rights of Nativechildren and indeed, are still bastions of racism that originated with thearrival in this country of Europeans in the 16th century. The "progress anddevelopment" of this country was based on racism and genocide of Nativepeople and the legacy of that lives on in many areas. STAR seeks to identifyracism and we work towards its elimination.
