Barbara Boxer: Help me thank Al Gore

[helderheid]

There may be no single person who has done more for our environment than Al Gore.

From his years of service in the Senate through his term as Vice President and especially recently, with his Oscar-winning movie "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore has been a steadfast, outspoken leader on environmental issues.

That's why I'm so pleased that Vice President Gore has accepted my invitation to testify before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on March 21st! And I want you to help me give him the warmest welcome possible.

With the threat to our planet from global warming growing day by day, the time to act is now. My colleagues on the committee and I have already begun crafting legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase conservation, and develop new alternative energy sources to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels -- especially foreign oil.

Al Gore's appearance before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee comes at an ideal time. It provides us with a tremendous opportunity to gather additional ideas for fighting global warming, to elevate the visibility of this important debate -- and to thank Al for his many years of leadership and hard work.

Won't you join me in thanking Al Gore for his leadership on the environment?

In Friendship,

Barbara Boxer
U.S. Senator

2. Calling BB: "It's the climate, stupid!"

I like Barbara Boxer, and I am grateful to her for forcing Congress to debate problems with voting and vote-counting in Ohio following the 2004 Presidential Election.

But I am afraid that her initiative to collect signatures thanking Al Gore, though no doubt with the very best of intentions, runs the risk of distracting from the very serious message that Al Gore will be bringing to Congress on March 21st.

Al Gore does not want attention for himself. He wants people - citizens, elected officials, lawmakers - to focus on addressing the climate crisis, supporting clean technologies and reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

So I am guessing that Al would prefer if we would go visit his website www.algore.com and then spend a few minutes e-mailing our friends and family, talking to them and helping him collect signatures and statements addressed to members of Congress.

Let's all find ways to show our support for Al Gore! :patriot:
