Popular memes calling for politicians to wear the logos of their corporate sponsors have circulated the internet for years, but the suggestion may soon be a reality for California legislators. In the next week, a potential ballot measure, submitted to the Office of the Attorney General in October, is expected to receive title and summary for the 2016 election, meaning its advocates will be able to collect signatures in order to secure its official place on the ballot. The proposed law would require legislators and candidates to sport the emblems of groups that donate money to their campaigns.

As the advocacy group that launched the measure, California is Not for Sale, muses:

When you try to control what the conscious mind perceives as chaos, you will successfully draw more of it to you. If you surrender yourself to the Love Power of The Universe, all things become possible. ~ Creator

If we had only one wish for you as you enter the energy of a brand new year, it would be that you make a sacred vow to love yourselves unconditionally in 2016. If you make that your priority, love will lead the way in all that you do, and you will be setting the energy to allow all other things to fall beautifully into place for you. Celebrate what’s within first, Dear Ones, and you will create the energetic foundation to have all kinds of things to celebrate all year long. ~Archangel Gabriel

God said:

As you grow in consciousness, you grow in confidence. This is a new kind of confidence. It is yours. It belongs to you. This is not your old kind of wavering confidence or possibly some kind of swagger. Oh, no. This confidence is more like joy. Of course, your confidence is joy now, for you are embodying Me.

You are not only more confident, you are more self-sufficient. You are more with Me and, therefore, less dependent upon Me. You are not away from Me. You are closer to Me. You sustain yourself. You are more assured of My Presence.
 
My Presence sits within you. You see that now. I, God, Who AM your Resource, is established in you. What more can you want? You know exactly where I reside. You grasp more clearly how it is that every human being alive is your brother and sister and, therefore, One with Me and One with you.
 
This sense of Oneness grows so strong that you begin to sense that Everyone Is You. You begin to know that Everything that you perceive as Existence is actually you, no less the birds and flowers and every twig -- you see All as an Expression of you.

What if it was possible to live in a city and a forest at the same time, having your house surrounded by green but being in close proximity to the downtown? I bet many of you could only dream to live in a place like that. However, this dream could actually become a reality someday thanks to Dutch architect Raimond de Hullu and his conceptual design called the OAS1S.

De Hullu’s vision of a green neighborhood is an off-grid community powered by renewable sources of energy and equipped with onsite waste and water treatment systems. All buildings would be made of recycled wood and organic insulation materials. Thus, the ‘urban forest’ would be completely energy and water self-sufficient and eco-friendly.

The community would consist of four-floor buildings equipped with triple glazing windows and solar panels. As for the interior design, there would be skylights, large windows and French balconies. De Hullu calls it “a treehouse combined with modern luxury.”

The Yurok Tribe, the largest Native American tribe in California, will join other peoples such as those from Russia, Italy, and Germany in saying NO to genetically modified organisms. The tribe has just announced that it is implementing a ban on all GM crops and GM animals. [1]

A committee meant to review the Yurok Tribe Genetically Engineered Organism (GEO) Ordinance, which was first allowed public comment, has now been enacted this December, 2015.

The Tribal GEO Ordinance prohibits the propagation, raising, growing, spawning, incubating, or releasing of genetically engineered organisms (such as growing GMO crops or releasing genetically engineered salmon) within the Tribe’s territory and declares the Yurok Reservation to be a GMO-free zone. It is the first ordinance of its kind in the Nation.
