4/29 Union/Concerned Scientist- PowerShift Nat'l Tour- KU Mem Union

[create.peace]

Dear Hannah,

Gasoline prices are approaching $3.00 a gallon even before the summer driving season and political instability is increasingly affecting major oil-producing regions. We also lack a national policy on climate change. There has never been a more pivotal time to discuss what we—as a country and as individuals—can do to reduce America’s oil consumption.

We wanted to let you know about an exciting event happening in your area this Saturday, April 29. The Union of Concerned Scientists is a cosponsor of the 2006 PowerShift National Tour, a public education effort to inform and engage Americans about energy security.

The event will be at KU Memorial Union (Woodruff Room) on the University of Kansas campus on Saturday, April 29, 2006. Doors open at 9:00 am. UCS Clean Vehicles Engineer Donald MacKenzie will be delivering a presentation on the technological feasibility and importance of increasing vehicle fuel economy to address America’s energy security. The event will also feature other speakers including Congressman Dennis Moore (D-KS), Kansas Secretary of Agriculture Adrian Polansky, and a number of other regional and national experts addressing a number of aspects of this important issue.

For more on this event, please contact the event organizer, Ethan Nuss, Regional Director, 20/20 Vision, 785.550.3635, or email [e-mail].

We hope you will be able to attend,

Scott Nathanson
National Field Organizer
Union of Concerned Scientists

1. I'm doing canvassing for KSDP in the afternoon

I'll try to make this. It is just up the street from the ECM (Ecumenical Christian Ministries) where the canvassers are gathering at 2 p.m.

Thanks for the information.
