energy independence

Just as the famous “shot heard 'round the world” that marked the start of the American Revolutionary War was fired in Concord, Massachusetts, we may again look back to the Commonwealth as the beginning of a revolution in attitudes on global warming.
For it is Massachusetts’s challenge to the federal government’s incomprehensible policy on global warming that will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court which may change forever the way we look at global warming pollution.
On the same day the Supreme Court accepted this court case, a bizarre tropical weather system drenched the nation’s capital, backing up traffic, closing federal buildings and toppling a 100-year-old elm tree on the White House lawn.
Why the heavy rains?
Warmer temperatures mean more evaporation and more humidity that gets released in the form of torrential rain. In the spirit of 1776, Massachusetts and 10 other states bravely took it upon themselves to stop this pollution by requiring car manufacturers to produce cleaner cars that are more efficient and cheaper to operate.
That’s when the federal government stepped in and told them they had no legal authority, setting up the court case that will be heard 'round the world'.
Exactly 230 years ago, we declared our independence from British rule. It was self-evident then that there was a better way: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Today, brave Americans like you are standing up and saying there’s a better way:
Renewable Energy, Conservation and the Pursuit of a Safe Climate.
Send this message to five American Patriots urging them to sign up for the Stop Global Warming March.
Happy Independence Day.

"Oil Free" Congress Day

From MoveOn:
"Tomorrow is the big day: thousands of MoveOn members from Nashville, Tennessee to Phoenix, Arizona will come together at more than 300 rallies across the country to demand an "oil-free" future.
"Tomorrow's National Day of Action is really important because this weekend is the 4th of July holiday and gas prices are on everyone's minds. We need to seize this moment to make sure the media and the public know that the Republican addiction to oil money is keeping gas prices high and holding America back from the clean energy future that we desperately need. "Can you join us at a rally near you?"
