What we do in our lives decides this country's energy policy. The more local the action, the more likely the impact. Too often we look far away for solutions. I can't believe Washington, D.C. will solve our energy problems.
But local action can hurt. Change can be painful. We have an asthmatic economy. Who can afford to put solar panels on the roof? Can I afford a fuel cell or CNG car? Should I take the bus and train, adding two hours to my daily commute? Should I bike, with all the (quite literal) pain that entails?
Change takes leadership. Leaders must breath life into movements like this. Leaders gain authority when they stand high up and far away, like a prophet on a mountain. In this election season, WE need leaders who can inspire this change.

Please join the 350 alternatives to a pro-coal VP group!
Call the candidates and ask them if they support a moratorium on new coal-fired power plants and if they will back up this support by choosing coal-free VPs.
Let Obama know how you feel and pop the question: (866) 675-2008
Let McCain know how you feel and pop the question: (703) 418-2008
We're only including phone numbers, no email. To make it fair.
Let's grow this group!
By the way, check out 350.org
Ok everybody, the ball is now rolling on getting our presidential candidates on the bandwagon for change! Demands for the Candidates has opened up shop as a group on WeCanSolveIt.org. I am very excited about the possibilities here.
So far there have been over 1.4 million members sign up on the We Campaign, all of them calling for change in our energy policies. Imagine now if we got some of those people calling for Obama and McCain to ramp up their energy policies or risk losing votes. Do you see what I see? I see both candidates scrambling to try and gain votes by doing exactly what I suggest and trying as hard as they can not to lose any votes by ignoring the issue.
We need to make this election revolve around one thing... climate change! And the only way we are possibly going to be able to do this is by using our power as individuals in a democracy, the power of the VOTE!
Let's send a message to the candidates telling them we demand, not want, but DEMAND that they pay attention to the millions of people out there wanting a shift in the way America works.
Join Demands for the Candidates and help me put some real pressure on those who want the White House.
Thanks,
Michael
