Letter to the Senate.

Today is the time for action, today is a time for unity, today is not for lies. We are in a situation of that will affect the next generation and more. Climate change is imminent, climate change is real, and climate change is a threat. You are what are needed for change. All who oppose helping our nation please keep the climate bill dead and all who care about future generations please stand up. We need a vote on this legislation before the deniers take control of the committee structure. (R’s) We live in a representative government and if you do not represent the majority of Americans then you will face the electorate.

Harry Reid you have the responsibility of getting the votes and structuring a bill for reconciliation. We the people have the responsibility of getting change from our leaders, but our leaders need to keep their promises and make change. In other words change comes from the bottom up, but change needs the up as well. Harry Reid you may have a hard fight in Nevada, and there is a risk of you losing your seat, but if you campaign in part on climate change you will win.

For the democrats in the senate, I ask you what the real threat of cap and trade? Cap and trade will create millions of jobs, not just among college graduates, but unskilled people as well. The only cost is the profits of big coal and big oil. Sure there are some job losses in some states that are solely dependant on big coal and big oil. If you represent one of those states, then you may vote no. However how did the B.P. oil spill affect Louisiana and how did Massy Energy explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine affect West Virginia? Also how is the water contamination going for any state that mines or drills? What about the oil refinery explosions, the trade deficit, and the unstable energy prices, how is this playing out for America? I urge any senator to consider this when voting. If you weigh America over big oil and big coal, then I hope you will vote yea for a comprehensive climate change bill.

We can get this bill passed and with the help of the senate democrats and we can run on climate change and win. There are 21 days till the election get climate change passed and amazing things will happen.
