Thanks for standing up to big polluters and saying NO to new carbon pollution …Kevin S. Curtis, Climate Reality


Thanks for standing up to big polluters and saying NO to new carbon pollution.

You sent a message supporting a historic limit on carbon pollution in the U.S. It will bring us one step closer to solving the climate crisis. As of today, we and the rest of the environmental community have sent the EPA a record-breaking 1.5 million comments supporting the proposal.

But we’re not done yet. If we want to make an impact, we need everyone to get involved.

Share our petition with your friends and family. Post it on your Facebook page and on your friend’s Facebook page. Tweet it!

Ask your friends to give carbon the finger.

Some days it seems impossible to make progress – but not today. Today there is something you can do. Ask your friends to join you in sending a message to our leaders: No new carbon pollution in the United States.

Contribute now to Stop the Radical Republican Agenda

Help us reach 100,000 supporters in May fighting back against Republicans‘ radical agenda and supporting President Obama in 2012.

Contribute before the May Federal Election Commission deadline Midnight Tonight and a group of committed Democrats will match your gift 2-to-1.

The average gift today is $30.51

I’m sick and tired of these downright deceptive Republican attacks.

So here’s the plan: we’re going to call out their lies, hold Republicans nationwide accountable for their radical records, re-elect President Obama, and back him up with a Democratic Majority.

Does that sound good? Well then we need you with us.

Whether or not you’ve already given, President Obama needs your help right now so Democrats can go toe-to-toe with the Republicans and their Super PAC allies.

So do your part right now. Pitch in $3 or more today:

a message from Alan Grayson



Member of Congress?

Members of Congress can claim expertise in two things: getting elected, and getting re-elected. But they legislate on everything that the Constitution allows. So you have lawyers and businessmen conducting hearings on space exploration, lawyers and businessmen drafting legislation on mining, lawyers and businessmen voting on foreign policy resolutions.

Wouldn’t it be nice to support a candidate for Congress who is a true expert in something other than campaigning? Well, you can; his name is Dr. Lee Rogers, in California’s 25th Congressional district.

Dr. Rogers is a podiatrist and an award-winning medical researcher. He runs the Amputation Prevention Center in Los Angeles, and he teaches medicine. He pioneered a new protocol for diabetes patients that reduced amputations by 72%.

If you want to see a person like that in Congress, click here.

Back in the 1990s, I worked with someone who had a severe case of diabetes. I watched his health deteriorate over the years. The circulation in his legs weakened to the point where a foot was amputated.

It was terrible.

But if my friend were alive today, Dr. Rogers probably could save that foot.

Healthcare is now one-sixth of the US economy. Imagine how good it would be to have someone in Congress who knows it so well.

A doctor who would be in a position to improve healthcare in America? What a concept!

I’m happy that Dr. Rogers is a solid progressive. I’m happy that a Rogers victory means the defeat of Buck McKeon, who has been called the most corrupt Member of Congress. But I’m especially happy that Dr. Rogers knows something about something – a quality that Congress sorely needs. For the good of Congress, and our health, I’d like to see Dr. Lee Rogers in Congress.

California is holding its “jungle primary” next Tuesday, where Democrats and Republicans are lumped together. To have a chance against Dirty Buck in November, Dr. Rogers has to do well on June 5. Please show your support.

Courage,

Alan Grayson
