BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!

Ever wonder if  citizen action really matters? There's no one who can read public opinion like presidential candidates (they have armies of pollsters), so please take it as a real tribute to your hard work that on Thursday both Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton signed on to support 80% emissions cuts by 2050!!!! They did it quietly, signing on as co-sponsors to the Sanders bill in the Senate which contains that goal. We'll need them to speak out loud and clear in the months ahead to make sure that whoever wins the White House has a mandate for big change. But we're awfully glad that they've followed John Edwards down the 80 by 50 road. When we announced that goal in early January, people said it was too big, too ambitious. But we knew it was what the science demanded--and now we know that, thanks to you, political reality can change with lighting speed! Thank you all for a huge victory--and if you want to send each of the three candidates a note thanking them, that would probably be useful.

Click here to send a Thank You Note to Senator Obama.

And click here to send a Thank You Note to Senator John Edwards, the candidate first out of the gate to take a bold stand for 80% Carbon Reductions by 2050.

P.S.--If they decided to push the envelope--80% by 2030 anyone?--we wouldn't complain.

   Say what you want but Lebron and D-Wade on the same team would be the sh*t. Plus they could add another free agent via sign and trade. So when he comes to visit in July, hopefully Bulls Management won't send Benny the Coach Bags and the MBT Sneakers to the airport, because we know how that turned out the first time. I do not claim to predict the future, but this is what I think. The man wants to stay in Cleveland, but not unless their roster changes Air Jordan Shoes drastically in the first two weeks of July. So Cleveland better pull off a major sign and trade for one of the Coach Handbags time free agents, or Gucci Bags is out of there. Most Jordan Sneakers i fans think he will come here because he was a Jordan fan growing up (which I hope happens). But I believe he will end up where he feels he has the best chance to win it all next year, which might be Miami.

   Sure, I would gladly sign on to paying a $2.00 per gallon carbon tax to add to the already high gas prices. I am sure that noone is touting this fact. The go green movement is strictly about making money and a liberal/big government. Global warming is garbage and you know it. This is just a way for everyone to hold hands and sing songs and make the big guys pay. Instead all of the democractic followers who are on welfare will not be able to put gas in their VW to go to the anti-war rally because gas will be $10/gallon and so will a gallon of milk. Please don't forget that 18wheelers run on diesel and when the cost of transport goes up so does you soy burgers. Atleast be honest and tell your viewers how much money you are making off of your cause before pushing this agenda that only makes our country weaker. Thanks

   i dont want to defile your cause but perhaps some of the more wild-eyed among you might like to start something similar to all this regarding the "drug war" which has spread like wildfire among the corrupt of the world due to american govt. idiocy and ignorance in general.
   
   p.s.
   i ALSO worry about the children. give them urine tests every few minutes and leave everybody else alone.

   Previously they both had signed on to the nuke friendly Lieberman MCAin bill as I wrote in March:

   Although he is not well known perhaps, Senator Dodd, from CT, also a Presidential Candidate sent our Step It Up 07 a statement. He said that he was currently a co-sponsor of the Sanders/Boxer bill.
