Be an ACTIVIST: HELP GET THE (BLUE) VOTE OUT!

We've been underestimating sea level rise this whole time, say scientists from Science Alert (Nov. 2, 2016)

Our chance at slowing global warming so that humanity
can adapt the warming world with the least death and destruction is NOW.

The primary importance of the 2016 election is for the U.S. to be able to pass appropriate, effective warming gas emissions reductions as rapidly as possible. The annual average CO2 level is now above 400ppm and increasing – a level not seen since approximately 3 million years ago when sea level was about 80 feet higher. 

In the remaining days before the election, we can still volunteer to help in the effort to get out the BLUE vote: 

1. Go to campaign websites OR websites like Rock the Vote. Rock the Vote shows how you can help! 
2. You can volunteer to help nonpartisan groups to protect voting rights – groups like the Election Protection Coalition. 
3. Make your plan to vote and talk to friends and family to encourage them to do likewise – post your plans and ask others to respond. 
4. Text or call relatives in swing states and districts and do the same. 
5. Talk across the aisle, difficult as it is this election.

The Trump candidacy and those still endorsing Trump: 

• deny the need to address global warming
• stand for an America which values the kinds of discrimination and nativism etc. that existed before our civil war  
• share an attraction to a proto-fascist leader/society

A Democratic Presidential and Senatorial victory are ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL –
JUST AS IS A HOUSE THAT WILL FINALLY 

PASS THE LAST HOPE GLOBAL WARMING LEGISLATION.

These people are going to vote.

Are YOU?

This is the ELECTION OF and FOR YOUR LIFE!

VOTE BLUE UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT!

Global Warming is THE campaign issue!

THIS ELECTION IS OUR LAST CHANCE 

TO HELP AVOID THE WORST.

There is a remarkably high scientific agreement about the reality of global warming and that the primary factor in global warming is human activity. And we can, therefore, take steps to reduce our contribution and TRY OUR BEST to slow the warming and its harmful impacts.

How broad is the agreement? It includes ALL the national and international professional scientific associations. We're talking about agreement in the scientific community as broad as the agreement that the Earth is not flat.

Congressional Climate Deniers

In the U.S., we are in midst of an election where the Republican Party still does not accept the scientific consensus on global warming while the Democratic Party has proposed legislation to slow global warming as early as 1993. 

Voting Blue NOW, on the precipice of the slippery slope of runaway global warming, is our last chance to slow it before we are confronted with global warming impacts that we cannot adapt to - except less and less effectively - in terms of emergency responses.

We must WORK TOGETHER for the

 WELL-BEING OF FUTURE GENERATIONS!

GLOBAL WARMING & FAMILY VALUES: ELECT A DEMOCRATIC HOUSE MAJORITY

 (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall)

The Democrats are the TRUE PARTY OF FAMILY VALUES – long promoting policies to help ­families thrive: 

• Social Security 
• AFDC 
• Minimum Wages 
• Affordable health care (Medicaid, Medicare, ACA) 
• Safety from avoidable harm 
• as consumers (FDA, CPSA) 
• as workers (OSHA) 
• and environmental-exposure (EPA) 

In contrast, the current Republican House majority seeks to reduce spending on all of these and other family friendly programs.

Everyone would agree that any discussion of FAMILY VALUES must include safety from avoidable harm in any and every way. 

In this sense, slowing global warming is the central issue/family value of our time. 

The Republican Party’s rejection of policies to effectively slow global warming as much as humanity is able to IS condemning our children, our grandchildren, and all generations to come, to a future of greater harm and destruction.

Youth Vote Critical to Democratic Victory

About the 2016 elections...The Congressional GOP majority must be replaced by Democrats - and we must elect a Democrat POTUS in order to make effective global warming and fiscal policies - and then be able to carry out these new, positive policies.

WE NEED OUR YOUTH! They are instrumental to the successful election of a Democratic POTUS and a Democratic majority in Congress!  How can you help with the 2016 election? Here are just a few ideas.

1. If you are old enough to vote, register to vote if you haven't already done so.
2. Groups: Create groups or join existing groups that support the Democratic candidate for President and/or for Congressional seats. Volunteer to assist with voter registration efforts, phone calls, polls, etc.
3. Find elected officials through their Twitter accounts or doing a Google search.
4. Help a Congressional district gain a Democratic seat: Use Ken Mazlen's website Global Warming and the 2016 Legacy or the Cook Political Report Race Ratings to see a list showing where Democrats can gain House seats. You can help a district even if you do not live in that district.
5. Contact the League of Women Voters in your area. Find out how you can help register voters via a booth at local musical festivals or other events.
6. Create your own voter registration event.
   
7. Encourage online voter registration via Voto Latino, Vote 411,  I Will Vote, OR Rock the Vote where you can even get email reminders when its time to vote!
8. Voting as a felon or ex-felon. Yes, felons can vote but it is determined state by state. Here is a list showing if felons & ex-felons can vote in a particular state. Easy read & helpful!
9. Learn about the political process. Take it seriously because it is SERIOUS BUSINESS! Get out there and VOTE!

For events: Be sure to get local TV (or radio, newspaper) coverage prior to and day of these events highlighting your voter registration efforts with the date, time, and location, of course!

Don't be shy! Do what you can. Encourage others. Don't give up! 

We must ALL work TOGETHER!
