PDA - PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS OF AMERICAMOBILIZING THE PROGRESSIVE VOTE
Call President Obama!
Dear Friend,
On October 24, people all over the world will join together in an International Day of Action to combat catastrophic climate change.We call upon you to call President Obama on Saturday, October 24!
Fossil fuels are cheaper than cleaner alternatives because fossil prices don’t reflect damage to Earth’s climate. PDA has endorsed direct carbon pricing (an upstream carbon fee) with revenue recycled to households as the most effective and fair mechanism to achieve the target of no more than 350 ppm of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. That’s the limit of CO2 to safely sustain life as we know it on Earth.
Encourage Pres. Obama to support direct carbon pricing rather than the cap-and-trade approach in the Kerry-Boxer bill.
If you have planned to attend an October 24 event, that’s great—we hope you’ll take this action as well.If you have no planned activity, then please make this call your Oct. 24 action.
If you can’t make the call until next week, that will work, too--or cut and paste the bullet points from the alert into this web form and submit your message to Pres. Obama.
We encourage you to join millions of others around the world in taking action for our planet on Saturday, October 24.
Yours for a sustainable future,
Dave Massen
