Good morning. Thanks for the promo, Charles. I didn’t expect that for this one (I guess I never do).

I want to add two notes.

Bonus points to Decatur Deb. He had multiple entries in my ‘how it’s done’ file, and still doesn’t know whether it fully paid off or not. I’m sure it sent a message, whatever the ultimate result.

And special kudos to Obdicut, because his was the first entry in my ‘how it’s done’ file. I didn’t include it above because it’s not election related. It’s what you do between elections to make it work. Since we are now between elections, it is highly relevant.

And the way to combat this [the political mess around climate change], beyond attempting to live a life that’s restrained in its use of resources, is to write to your congresspeople, your senators, your representatives— at every level— to your governor, the president, to absolutely everyone you can think of, and tell them how important this issue is to you.

Speak up when you hear scientists slandered, direct people to good resources like [Link: skepticalscience.org….] Stress that we can do something about the problem, and that if we don’t take the lead in green energy, China will, and America will lose its dominance in the world. Stress that green energy means jobs, and black energy means the loss of jobs.

This is about climate change. There are many other issues where the same strategy can be put to use.

Let’s get to work.
