Dear friends,
This is from Barbara Boxer, US Senator. Please take time to consider supporting her bill here in the US.
Dear Pamela,
Today, with Earth Day just over a week away, I am asking you to put yourselves in my shoes for a minute and do something we Senators do -- co-sponsor a bill.
To be exact, I am asking you to be a citizen co-sponsor of the strongest global warming bill in the Senate -- the Sanders/Boxer bill, S.309, which has twelve Senate sponsors so far.
By signing on as a citizen co-sponsor, you will help me show my colleagues in Congress -- and all Americans -- the kind of support that exists for ground-breaking legislation that will really fight global warming. Can I count on your support right now -- with Earth Day just around the corner?
Sign on as a citizen co-sponsor of the Sanders/Boxer global warming bill now!
Already, more than 62,000 Americans have signed on as citizen co-sponsors of our bill, a number that has already turned heads among my colleagues in the Senate. And over the coming weeks, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee will continue to hold hearings on legislative approaches to combat global warming.
But we need to do more.
An increase in temperature of just 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit from today's levels could eventually mean widespread flooding of coastal areas in our country, Europe, Asia, and all over the globe. It also will mean more frequent extreme weather conditions like hurricanes, heat waves, and droughts, evidence of which we're already starting to see.
The time to act is now. As Al Gore has pointed out, global warming may be an inconvenient truth, but nonetheless it is the truth. Now we must do what Americans have always done when faced with a broad challenge -- face it and act.
Sign on as a citizen co-sponsor of the Sanders/Boxer global warming bill now! More...
