LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Citizens’ Climate Lobby  

Five minutes of your time on June 23rd would go a long way toward creating a better world for our children and grandchildren. On June 24th, 23 Michigan citizens will be in Washington, DC meeting with Senators Levin and Stabenow and most of our Representatives, including Rep. Dingell, asking them to support federal legislation to address global warming. These citizens are part of a team of 600+ volunteers from Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL), a non-partisan, grassroots organization working to create the political will for a livable world. This will be CCL’s 5th Annual Lobby Day and volunteers have scheduled 475 meetings with congressional offices! Their effort will leave a mark.

Please add your voice to theirs, by calling Stabenow, Levin, and Dingell on June 23rd and expressing your desire for serious Congressional action on climate change. Calling the day before CCL volunteers meet with Congress will focus attention on the issue and improve chances of significant breakthroughs, especially with congress members who have been reluctant to acknowledge the urgency of addressing global warming.

It really is our job to advocate for what is important to us, and we cannot use the argument that change will never happen in DC to avoid taking action.
