I want to invite you to a very special event on Saturday, April 25th. We are hosting a town-hall meeting with congressman Tim Bishop and people from all over the east end. The purpose of this meeting is to inform the congressman (and each other) of the efforts underway to promote energy solutions in our area, and encourage Mr. Bishop to support a bold national climate energy policy.With a new president, we're shifting from 'talking about doing things' to 'actually doing things' and this is an opportunity to share those efforts with each other. Furthermore, we want to show our representatives in Washington that we are increasing our efforts and our demands for a strong climate bill. This moment is unique. In December 2009, the nations of the world will convene in Copenhagen to draft a global climate treaty. The US has been watching from the sidelines for much of the last decade, but this year its going to be different... it needs to be different.
We need to pass bold national legislation on climate change so that President Obama can attend Copenhagen ready to lead the world. He can only do that if congress, and Tim Bishop, hear our calls for strong and bold policy. This is our chance to tell him.Please mark your calendars:
