You will want to call your congressman on the following two issues:
First, the House Republican conference is meeting today about an amnesty deal:
Scenario 1—Republicans agree on a compromise that includes amnesty and some form of robust border security, internal enforcement, and changes to the legal immigration system. Details are important, but as we’ve made clear: it will still be an amnesty proposal.
Scenario 2—No compromise is reached, and liberal, pro-amnesty Republicans move forward with their discharge petition to trigger a vote on four different amnesty proposals.
Call your Representative right now with this message: America needs robust border security, internal enforcement, and an end to family-based chain migration—not amnesty.
Second, the House is voting on H.R. 3, the nearly $15 billion in spending cuts proposed by President Trump. This is the largest single rescissions request in history, and if it passes, it will give the President the mandate to propose additional spending cuts this year. Tell your Representative to vote “Yes” on H.R. 3.

Your Body Has A Bone To Pick
With You About Your Diet
Most people know that when you look for a house, you want a place with “good bones.” In other words, if the structure of the home is in good shape, most people feel they can fix up the rest. If a home doesn’t have good bones, the rest of it doesn’t matter.
The same can be said of your body. If you don’t take care of your bones, the rest of your body will quickly fall into disrepair.
“Taking care of your bones doesn’t require a lot of maintenance, but that doesn’t mean it should be overlooked,” says Dr. Victor M. Romano, a board certified orthopaedic surgeon and author of Finding The Source: Maximizing Your Results – With and Without Orthopaedic Surgery (www.romanomd.com).
“Just a little moderate exercise and eating some of the right food and drinks is all that is required.”
Vitamin D, for example, is important for the absorption of calcium and aids in improving muscle strength and balance, Dr. Romano says. A deficiency of Vitamin D can cause soft, thin, brittle bones. It’s also associated with depression, Parkinson’s disease and seizures. Moderate weight training is always recommended to keep bones strong, even for senior citizens.
Dr. Romano recommends that instead of taking calcium pills, the best way to get calcium into the body is with a healthy diet. He suggests a few ways to add calcium to your diet to keep bones healthy:
“A poor diet can lead of a lot of health complications, but poor bone density is usually overlooked by many people trying to get healthy,” Dr. Romano says. “Getting enough Vitamin D and calcium in the diet is well worth the effort.”

The 7th FMC Foster Youth Questival, which empowers foster youth by taking them up Mt. Shasta and raising money for youth writing projects, starts a week from today. This will be my sixth time participating, and I've climbed this mountain four other times outside of Questival.
Someone asked me why I climb this massive mountain year after year. I do it to maintain a pathway for foster youth to experience the serenity and beauty of nature. Imagine yourself on the side of a snow-covered mountain at 14,000 feet, overlooking lush green valleys in all directions. It's freeing, and it's unlike anything you’ll experience in a city. Climbing requires your full presence, it demands your full attention, and you can't cheat a mile of vertical elevation gain.
Foster youth lack a lot of things: access to housing, love, enough money to pay for rent, role models, access to the outdoors. As a child welfare advocate, I don't make a lot of money, so I can’t make a big impact through financial support. But what I can give is support to the youth who are trying to make the summit.
We can all give a little bit, and I choose to climb to support foster youth towards a goal of completing one of the most physically demanding tasks they will ever undertake. I'm grateful to be able-bodied and in good health. Let's all share what we can to provide the resources that are needed to continue exposing youth to the outdoors.
Being on the mountain, overlooking lush green valley 7,000 feet below you – that leaves an impact. I lay awake at night dreaming about the time I've spent on Shasta. The meadows, the alpine environment, never ending snow fields. The fatigue as you settle into your sleeping bag. The sense of community we forge from undergoing physical exertion together. It’s all part of the story.
More than 50 percent of foster youth in California come from urban environments. Many of these foster youth rarely interact with the outdoors, making it all the more imperative to build opportunities to access the outdoors. My foster parent, a single mother, was not able to provide me with a lot of access to the great outdoors. She relied on the YMCA to keep me active in local club sports, but these were confined to concrete playgrounds and indoor gyms. So being exposed to the outdoors through the FMC Foster Youth Questival in 2012 was a gift.
I leave us with a quote from John Muir: “Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity.”

Hemp, Inc. Applauds Missouri as State Becomes 40th in United States to Pass Hemp Legalization Bill
SPRING HOPE, NC, June 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP), a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with the largest multipurpose industrial hemp processing facility in the western hemisphere, announced today the company applauds Missouri for becoming the fortieth state in the nation to legalize hemp.
In one of his last official acts in office on June 1, then-Governor of Missouri, Eric Greitens, approved House Bill 2034, which legalizes industrial hemp farming in the state. “The new law legalizes the cultivation of industrial hemp and all products, including [cannabidiol] CBD, made from it,” according to Hemp Magazine. “The legislation also establishes a state hemp pilot program in accordance with the 2014 Farm Bill. HB 2034 is scheduled to take effect in August of this year.”
Rep. Paul Curtman, R-Washington, the bill’s sponsor, told the Missourian, “Right now those manufacturers have to bring in their industrial hemp from out of state or out of the country, so this is going to help Missouri keep our economic dollars in Missouri rather than sending them out of state or out of the country.”
Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin said, “We are proud to be on the frontlines of the rapidly growing multi-billion dollar industrial hemp industry. There are now more states with industrial hemp legislation than without. Allowing farmers to have access to this viable crop is the right thing to do to spur local economies and create jobs.”
As Missouri and other states move toward adopting hemp legislation, companies seeking to enter or further develop their footprint in the industrial hemp marketplace are aligning with Hemp, Inc. for the company’s proven expertise and state-of-the-art hemp processing and manufacturing infrastructure in Spring Hope, North Carolina. Hemp, Inc.’s 85,000 square foot hemp processing and manufacturing facility has been operational since August, 2017.
Hemp, Inc.’s consulting agreement with HQ Global Education, Inc. (OTC: HQGE), a scientific research development company, entails that Hemp, Inc. will provide consulting services in an effort to help HQ Global Education, Inc. expand into the hemp CBD industry. In addition, Hemp, Inc. also recently announced that the company encourages large scale companies to secure their hemp biomass now before Hemp, Inc.’s supply runs out.
Hemp, Inc. also recently announced that its strategic hemp growing partner, Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc., had completed installation of the solar and wind-powered energy system for its 500-acre Veteran Village Kins Community in Golden Valley, Arizona. The Veteran Village Kins Community is designed to grow hemp and produce CBD products to benefit veterans as well as generate revenue for Hemp, Inc., the Veteran Village, and individual veterans living in the community.
Dozens of master growers, from Oregon, Colorado, California, Kentucky, North Carolina, Nevada, and of course, Arizona companies and organizations have expressed an interest in pursuing a joint venture with Hemp, Inc. to each grow industrial hemp on the 300 fenced acres in Arizona as part of "The Great United American Hemp Project." Interested master growers, from around the country, should contact Project Manager, Dwight Jory at ecogold22@gmail.com.
Read the following October 24, 2017 press release, Hemp, Inc. Announces Strategic Hemp Growing Partner "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc." Completes Final Site Plan Blueprints, below:
Hemp, Inc. has announced that its strategic growing partner, "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.," has completed its final site plan blueprints for its 500-acre site in Golden Valley, Arizona (20 miles north of Kingman, AZ and 90 minutes from Las Vegas, NV). The site plan was submitted to the Mohave County Building Department for final review. The Company is also in the final stages of completing the necessary infrastructure to support an off-grid, renewable, energy system. With the solar equipment in place, the site's solar power operation is now complete.
Dwight Jory, the Project Manager for the "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.," said, "We are very happy with the progress. Our Kins Community is really beginning to come together." In anticipation of planting to begin during the spring, 300 acres have been fenced, 16 overnight trailer park sites are under construction, and six 40x40-ft organic vegetable gardens are ready for seasonal planting, according to Jory. As for the 6 geodesic domes mentioned in an earlier press release, 1 is structurally complete with only the electrical and plumbing to be completed. The rest are on site awaiting final site plan approval. "We are now accepting volunteers who have expressed an interest in helping to build the first Kins Community for our veterans," said Jory. Those interested in making the first hemp growing CBD-producing "Veteran Village Kins Community" become a reality should contact Ms. Sandra Williams via email (swilliams@hempinc.com).
One thousand trees, on 36 of the 500-acres, have also been planted, with an additional 1,000 trees on order. The "Veteran Village Kins Community" site plan also includes a 100,000-square foot GMP compliant, central processing plant, CBD testing laboratory, and various health and wellness centers to support veterans who may have psychological, emotional or health issues.
"As Hemp, Inc. positions itself on the forefront of America's industrial hemp revolution, we see our partnership with 'Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.' being paramount in supporting the small family farm movement that we are confident will reshape the American landscape," said Perlowin. "As we work toward getting our eco-village up and running in Arizona, we are also aggressively scouting strategic locations in other states including North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. Giving veterans and other Americans a place to learn new skills and take part in this multi-billion-dollar hemp CBD market is very exciting. It's a big part of our mission to give back."
According to Perlowin, seven "master hemp growers" from Oregon, Colorado, California, Kentucky, North Carolina, Nevada, and of course, Arizona have expressed an interest in pursuing a joint venture with Hemp, Inc. to each grow industrial hemp on the 300 fenced acres in Arizona. Perlowin says he'll call this "The Great United American Hemp Project."
