Senator Bennet: it’s Time to Stand Up for Climate Change
March 8, 2015 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
We will meet Senator Bennet’s donors as they are en route to the Bennet 2016 Election Kick-Off Party. We will greet them with signs urging the Democrats to Stand Up for Climate Change. This presents an excellent opportunity to demonstrate to the whole state Democratic Party that they need to embrace their base on this Issue, or their base will not vote.
Our world is on a collision course with climate catastrophe. We are in the midst of the 6th mass extinction. In 2015 alone, there have been 117 massive die-offs of animals in 35 countries – at least in part, due to the world’s “leaders” failure to act upon the environmental crises engulfing us. The human species, dependent upon the health of our earth, is far from immune.
The science is in on climate change. Climate catastrophe is not a political issue. The fossil fuel industry invested $11.8 million on the 2014 elections in Colorado alone – to obstruct the change vital to humanity. They are willing to take each and every one of us and our children and our grandchildren to the grave with them in order to maintain their greed for a few more years.
The 2014 election was a loss, not only for Democrats, but for the people of the world. 68% of the electorate didn’t bother to vote. The people are becoming hopeless. The Democrats must stand tall by counterattacking the misinformation polluting our airwaves and resisting the economic pressures of reelection to devise real solutions to our real problems. Massive expenditures did not save Udall’s office. We deserve better of our Democratic Party. It is time we demand aggressive action.
IF YOU’RE NOT A CLIMATE CHANGE DENIER, DON”T VOTE LIKE ONE!
