Entirely NEW LEVEL OF ACTIVISIM NEEDED!

CRISIS ISSUE:
GLOBAL WARMING IS INCREASING!

           
WHAT CAN WE DO?
ONLY AN ENTIRELY NEW LEVEL OF ACTIVISM 
CAN EXERT ENOUGH PRESSURE TO:
  1. BREAK THE MEDIA SILENCE ON GLOBAL WARMING AND 
  2. BREAK THE REPUBLICAN REFUSAL TO PROTECT HUMANITY FROM HARM


With the stunningly unexpected victory of a Trump Administration that regards global warming as a hoax, WE CANNOT EXPECT NATIONAL POLICY TO SLOW GLOBAL WARMING – (UNLESS CATASTROPHIC CLIMATIC EVENTS BREAK THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRIES’ CONTROL OF REPUBLICAN POLICY). 

We can, however, try to breach the denial of science BY A VERY BROAD BASED AND HEIGHTENED LEVEL OF ACTIVISM TO MAKE THE PASSAGE OF ESSENTIAL LEGISLATION POSSIBLE.


Knowing the positions and priorities of the in-coming Presidential Administration and Congressional majorities, PROACTIVE organizing to break the media silence on and Republican Party denial of global warming must begin NOW.

Further, we must build an activist movement that cuts across specific organizational priority issues. Since we are all vulnerable to the increasing harm of global warming, single issue politics (like gun control, LGBT rights, Black Lives Matter, etc.) must come together in coalitions that draw upon uniquely broad based activism.

More than half of the electorate voted for Hillary Clinton and sensible global warming policy. A very large majority of Americans acknowledges global warming as real. WE ARE ALL ACTIVISTS. If we can FLOOD the local media, our local House members and our Senators – in person, with email, with calls, with letters, we can make our views much more difficult to deny and, hopefully, promote the essential global warming legislation.

VOTE BLUE - WE MUST WIN!

We are down to the wire in the MOST 
FATEFUL ELECTION IN THE HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION!


FATEFUL because TOO RAPIDLY INCREASING GLOBAL WARMING THREATENS HUMANITY!


(Trump wants to dismantle the Paris Climate Agreement. GOP denies global warming is real.)

Pro-Trump billionaires pour money into last-minute bid for swing states

Not surprisingly, the consequence of the legally indefensible Supreme Court Citizens United decision, is the UNTHINKABLY VAST AMOUNTS OF MONEY paying for the superabundance of the Republican attacks ads in the Presidential swing states and, even more so, in the Senatorial swing states which have made the races much closer than anyone anticipated six months ago.





Remember in November 
just how much the American people have been lied to by Trump! 
Do NOT FORGET THIS.






We have one day left to try to convince others - via Facebook, Twitter, phone calls, texting, door-to-door - 
2 VOTE 4 THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES!
  1. Vote. 
  2. Encourage OTHERS 2 VOTE!
  3. HELP OTHERS GET TO THE POLLS to cast their votes (in spite of the obstacles that the Republican state parties have created to disenfranchise significantly many Democratic voters). 
  4. Convince others to vote rather than sit out the election. 
  5. Convince others to not throw away a vote on a third party candidate. This is no time for a protest vote. 
  6. VOTE BLUE because the real interests that the Republican candidates represent are the very rich and the powerful multinational corporations.



VOTE BLUE FOR THE SAKE OUR CHILDREN...
 

...AND FOR THE WELL-BEING OF ALL AMERICANS!

VOTE BLUE! - its the Home Stretch and we can WIN BIG!


We are in the last phase
of 
the 2016 national election. 

THE FUTURE IS AT STAKE
AS AT NO TIME BEFORE.


That's right...Donald Trump is NOT who we are. And that includes his TrumpTrain of weak-kneed GOP followers that created their candidate and that are afraid to stand up their candidate.

VOTE THEM OUT! 
NO MORE OBSTRUCTION!


Right now, we have to do everything we can think of to help the Democrats to gain the House majority in order TO PASS THE ESSENTIAL LEGISLATION TO AVOID RUNAWAY GLOBAL WARMING. 

Here are some basic things almost anyone CAN DO:
  1. Sign up to volunteer to give as much time as possible to the local Democratic campaign organizations 
  2. Where registration to vote is still possible, get involved  
  3. Next, increased voter turn-out is A KEY TO VICTORY – spread the word as widely as possible, every BLUE vote is important; explain that 3rd Party votes and NOT VOTING = Trump votes! 
  4. On election day, help in whatever way you can – make calls, driving voters to their polling places, etc.



I’m very hopeful that we will have a Democratic President elected with an unquestionable MANDATE.

I’m also hopeful that we will have a Democratic majority Senate, in spite of the vast dark money supporting Republican candidates by the Koch network and others.

IF we get a Democratic Majority in the Senate, it is very likely that a Supreme Court, with at least one new member approved during the next Congress, will reverse the utterly partisan decisions and general direction of the Scalia Court. Perhaps the Court can take unlimited individual and corporate donations and spending out of the American political process!


VOTE FOR THOSE WHO ARE ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED TO PASS POLICIES 
ESSENTIAL TO SUFFICIENTLY SLOW GLOBAL WARMING.



THE FUTUTRE IS AT STAKE. 
BE AN ACTIVIST. 
GIVE AS MUCH TIME AS YOU CAN.

VOTE STRAIGHT TICKET DEM 4 CLIMATE ACTION NOW!

We have the ultimate WORLDWIDE EMERGENCY!


6 examples of (increasing warming)positive feedback loops here.
As every second passes, more warming gases are accumulating in our atmosphere and increasing global warming. In addition to the emissions of warming gases that result directly from human activity, there are many natural physical consequences of warming (positive feedback loops) that are, in turn, increasing global warming further by, also releasing increasing amounts of warming gases into our atmosphere as global temperature increases.

We at the 12th hour in terms of runaway global warming when it can no longer be slowed by human activity, UNLESS the U.S. passes and implements the strongest possible policies to slow global warming and leads the worldwide community of nations in doing the same. 


VOTE OUT ALL GOP DENIERS!

WE DESPERATELY NEED AN ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS THAT WILL TAKE THE LEAD IN SLOWING GLOBAL WARMING.










We must lead in CLIMATE ACTION!

WE HAVE THE ULTIMATE WORLDWIDE EMERGENCY.

We MUST 
elect a DEMOCRATIC POTUS!

We must elect a DEMOCRATIC SENATE & HOUSE!
