The latest from Democracy for America (I cannot tell you how happy I will be if the day ever comes when posts on this subject are no longer necessary; of course, that's assuming our planet isn't completely fouled or submerged by then)...
After years of research and aggressive attempts by several governments to water down the scientific evidence, the United Nations released a new global warming report that studies the facts and lays bare the dangers in no uncertain terms. If we don't take action right now to curb greenhouse gases, the Earth's future is bleak.
A planetary landscape ravaged by floods, millions of species sentenced to extinction, more than a billion people in need of water, and extreme food shortages in third world nations are some of the worst effects warned about in the report.
Climate change is a global crisis and our next President will have to take strong action to make change happen. Will you petition the presidential candidates to share their bold plan to lead America forward and reverse the effects of Global Warming?

The last DFA Primary Petition received several great responses. Senator Edwards read comments from DFA members Peter Coburn, Karen Palmer, and Daniel Myerson while laying out his views on Iraq. Senator Obama delivered a personal message before diving into a timeline of his position. And Governor Richardson didn't just respond directly to comments from Will Edwards, Phylis Bogan, and Carl Veley or deliver his plan for Iraq; he also mentioned the work he did with a local DFA group on paper ballots. All three of these candidates understood how important you are and wanted to make sure you heard from them.
DFA's Green for America campaign is off to a great start. First, our organization became carbon neutral by investing in four excellent renewable energy projects. Local DFA groups have hosted over 200 Green Meetings featuring the documentary Kilowatt Ours and a discussion on how to conserve at home and in the community. Now it's time to get the Presidential candidates' plan to fight global warming on record. Please sign the petition right now:

Global Warming is not going away without immediate action. We need leaders we can depend on.
Thank you for working to move America forward,

Executive Director
Here is a performer who definitely "gets it" on this issue (and by the way,
Lord Monckton is a fracking idiot!).

We should take actions to protect our environment. we have to preserve the earth for the future generations. I felt glad when I saw a video entitled Edwards on climate change. I was relieved because the candidates of the 2008 presidential race have noticed the problem of climate change and the need to find alternative sources of energy. I hope that our leaders will help us take carte of mother Earth.
I absolutely agree and hope so as well - thanks for checking in.
