ACTA in a Nutshell –
What is ACTA? ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.
Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”
What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.
Essential ACTA Resources -
Say NO to ACTA. It is essential to spread awareness and get the word out on ACTA.

Now, however, their landlady is kicking them and their housemates out because she's expecting a baby (due next year) and has been ill recently and doesn't want to deal with other people living there. If she does kick them out, Ecu and their friend will have nowhere to live because the houses near there are all full, or are too expensive.smallbutevil recently started college in Truro and was lodging near it.

My Social Security income still has not been reactivated.
I'm on disability for a variety of reasons. I have multiple pain conditions, as well as psychiatric ones, including anxiety disorders and Bipolar I with psychotic features. Currently, my disability qualification is being recertified. This apparently began in May, but I never received paperwork about it, so my payments were suspended beginning in June. We started trying to get this fixed in July (again, the anxiety disorders), and I have done all paperwork sent to me to help. I'm calling again tomorrow, as I haven't heard anything in some time.
We have to move this month. Specifically, we have to move out of the house by August 30. Our landlord is trying to sell the house, and she's decided that it would be easier if there were no tenants. Because of that, we need to come up with a deposit and first month's rent, at the very least, as soon as possible. This would be far less of an issue if my Social Security was not a problem. We don't expect to get our deposit back in a timely manner.
Last month, I had such severe pain that we called 911. We didn't even call 911 when I was in acute opiate withdrawal; instead,
We really hate to ask, but we have to ask for donations to help with all this. Our PayPal address is kelly.pittman AT gmail.com. If you can, would you mind signal-boosting for us?
