Taking the Climate Change Initiative to Congress

From morrismeyer.com:

In two days Al Gore will be visiting Congress to testify on the immediate action that needs to be taken to end the climate change crisis. With the Morris Meyer campaign‘s help he’s gathered over 295,000 messages from citizens that he’ll hand deliver to Congressmen and Senators demonstrating the broad public support for stopping our climate crisis.

From AlGore.com:

The reason Congress has so far failed to act is not because there are no solutions to the problem. Nor is it because the majority doesn’t believe that the climate crisis is real. They have failed to act, because they have not yet faced a sufficient expression of political will on the part of the American people demanding they confront our climate crisis head on. You and I know that political will is a renewable resource, and enough already exists to start solving this crisis. We just have to communicate that forcefully to the political leaders of our country.

So what can we do? Well, Mr. Gore’s trying to get 350,000 letters to hand to Congress two days from now. To send a letter of your own and to show your support you can go to AlGore.com and fill out one for yourself demanding Congress take action.

Update: The team now has over 406,000 letters and has raised the goal to 500,000! If you haven’t written yours yet, get over there!

Meyer is All Over the Media

Over on morrismeyer.com you may have read the awesome article written about Meyer and the guys in the Washington Post last Thursday.

If you hadn’t, here’s a taste of Marc Fisher’s “Grass Roots in a Virginia Basement”:

[Nate de la Piedra, Mike Burns, and Sean Sukol] think Meyer can unseat Hugo because the delegate hasn’t had to face any real competition before, because Virginia’s transportation mess has discredited the Republicans who control Richmond, and because Meyer understands how the Internet and concerns about the fate of the Earth are changing politics.

Also, Meyer, along with Dr. Andrew Pouriing and Al Weed, was recently a guest on Mark Levine’s TV show Inside Scoop
