To demand that my country join an international treaty within the next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth;
To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become "carbon neutral;"
To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the CO2;
To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation;
To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal;
To plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests; and,
To buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crisis and building a sustainable, just, and prosperous world for the 21st century.
There is a remarkable convergence of forces all coming together and working together to stop global warming. There are now solid numbers out on the Live Earth 7.7.07 worldwide events that were so far beyond huge that your humble editor lacks the words to describe the magnitude of the event. So let me just give you some numbers:
Thank you, thank you for all the support and encouragement I have received in my race for the State Senate. The response has been great.
With the first reporting deadline only hours away, I need to show that my candidacy is not only viable but formidable.
If you haven’t had a chance to contribute yet, please make as generous contribution as you can. If you know someone who can contribute, please share this email.
And thank you again. It means so much to me to know that my work in Sacramento fighting for our community, our children, for justice and equality has our support.
We are fast approaching the June 30th campaign finance-reporting deadline. It’s very important that our campaign report reflect an impressive fundraising base of support.
With a few clicks, it is possible for all of my friends to invest in our movement with an online contribution.
My campaign is a grassroots effort that relies upon many people coming together to provide the resources necessary to succeed. This campaign isn’t about me, it is about offering voters a chance to vote for the best choice for change.
We need to harness this grassroots energy and you can do so right now by making a contribution and asking your friends and family to join us.
Thank you for your consideration. Your donation will enable me to take a major step forward toward the Senate seat. Every and any amount is appreciated. The maximum allowable is $3600.
Your humble editor has been lucky enough to experience marching with Assemblymember Leno during two previous Pride Parades. It is amazing, I lack the words to express how it feels. There is so much energy, so many smiles — it is nothing but adrenaline fueled fun. And it is for such an important issue to boot.
On June 24th, march with Assemblymember Mark Leno during the Pride Parade. What could be more fun then walking with the author of the Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Protection Act? Really? Leno’s contingent is early in the parade line-up, so you can take advantage of everything the day offers.
To RSVP if you have any questions, please call please call Reese at (415) 557-3013 or e-mail Leno_Pride2007@yahoo.com.
