The coal, gas, oil, auto, and farming interests have proved much more powerful than environmentalists. Corporate polluters have managed to take decent legislation -- Reps. Waxman and Markey's climate bill -- and turn it upside down so that it will help them more than the planet.
It serves nobody to pretend that this is not true. Environmental organizations in recent weeks have sent dozens of requests asking their members to help strengthen and then pass this legislation. Ask any of theses groups if the strengthen part has happened on any of our demands. It has not.
I just signed a petition to ask my representative: "Why didn't you stand up to coal and strengthen the climate bill?" I hope you will, too. Please have a look and take action.

"You cannot be free by obeying the rules. You cannot be free by waiting for someone to rescue you. You cannot be free simply by hoping for a brighter day tomorrow. Freedom comes from within. It does not come from without. It does not come from a charismatic leader. It does not come with a set of instructions. It does not come from being raised with doses of discipline and dogma. It does not come from being given your freedom only after you prove yourself to your parents, teachers, pastors, or other authority figures. It does not come from any God who demands obedience before He promises blessings (or threatens curses). It does not come from delineated rights. It does not come from The Constitution. It is you from whom freedom springs. It is you in whom freedom thrives. No one gave it to you. Like Dorothy and her ruby slippers, your way home was with you all the time. You just didn't realize it. Do you understand? You are freedom. Contrary to that tiresome cliché, freedom is free. -- B.R. Merrick.
Hope your weekend was grand and your week will be pleasant.
