Garett Reppenhagen, VoteVets.org … the NRA

As an Iraq War veteran and Colorado resident, I was happy to see over 90% of VoteVets supporters choose to fight back against the NRA-backed recalls and stand up for State Senator John Morse in Colorado.

So that’s what we’re going to do.

Election Day is in three weeks, and we’re on the air in a big way in Colorado defending John Morse, who has been a champion for veterans throughout his time in office.

Watch the ad and help keep us on the air.

These recall elections are a chance to show legislators across the country that we’ll stand with those who take action to reduce gun violence.

If we beat the NRA here, we’ll send a message that begins to dismantle the culture of fear the NRA has fostered in Congress and state capitals around the country. That’s why we’re asking people to vote NO on this recall.

Thank you for standing with us,

Working to Implement the Affordable Care Act

West Wing Week: 08/16/13 or “Summer Mailbag: A Break from Tradition”

This week, we broke from tradition a bit and took to our social media networks to ask our followers about what they would like to know about everything that’s happening at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

U.S. Trade Representative Mike Froman and senior members of the President’s economic team joined trade ministers, civil society, and business leaders from across sub-Saharan Africa in Ethiopia for the AGOA Forum.

One year ago, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began implementing a policy that makes our immigration system more representative of our values as a nation.

It’s Us Alright

Can you feel the heat? We sure can.

And while temperatures rise, big corporations and Congress continue to claim, “It’s not us — it’s natural,” when you and I both know they’re repeating lies coming straight from Big Oil and Big Coal.

“It’s not us” is another abominable myth about climate change… and we need your voice to help destroy this myth today. Let’s crank up the heat on climate change deniers.

Deniers love to say: “Okay, climate change is happening. But it has natural causes, and humans have nothing to do with it.”

Just ask 97 percent of climate scientists: Man-made carbon pollution is the cause of global warming. The consensus is overwhelming.

Yet somehow, deniers just keep rehashing these same old myths and the news media keeps repeating them — confusing the public when people like you and I know the truth is cut and dry.

That’s why this week, in response to Organizing for Action‘s efforts to keep the climate change conversation top-of-mind, we’re putting the #HeatOnDenial by making anti-science deniers sweat. Together with our friends at Organizing For America, we can raise the temperature of this hot topic.

So take a moment, head to our Reality Drop application, and help destroy the “It’s Not Us” myth –– and together we’ll be one step closer to solving the climate crisis.

Thanks for your continued dedication,
The Climate Reality Team
