From Barbara Boxer via email: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.
Sign my online thank you card to Al Gore now -- so I can personally deliver it to him when he comes to testify later this month!
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?
Sign my thank you card to Al Gore now!With your help, I hope to present Al Gore with a thank you card signed by tens of thousands of Americans when he comes to testify later this month. So please, take just a moment to sign our thank you card -- and then invite everyone you know to do the same.
Thank you for helping me give Al Gore the warmest of welcomes on March 21st -- not just from committee members, staff, and members of the public who come to the hearing, but from tens of thousands of Americans like you as well!
In Friendship,
Barbara Boxer
