From Al Gore: Step It Up On April 14th

[RestoreGore]

Dear Jan,

Since March 16, AlGore.com has grown by more than 250,000, to an amazing 555,392 members. However to ultimately succeed and convince our elected leaders to do what needs to be done, we have to grow much bigger still.

In addition to increasing the size of our movement, we want to be constantly alert to any opportunities where AlGore.com members can help build momentum to solve the climate crisis. Sometimes these actions will take place on AlGore.com - but there are dozens of other groups doing great work. One of those organizations is Step It Up 2007.

Step It Up 2007 has organized a National Day of Climate Action on April 14. They've already scheduled more than 1,100 rallies in all fifty states - locations vary from the melting glacier on top of Mt. Rainier, to the levees in New Orleans, to underwater in an endangered coral reef off the coast of Florida, to your neighborhood park.

You can find the rally closest to your home, or if there isn't one nearby, host one yourself by visiting:

http://stepitup2007.org/

One simple message will unite these rallies - "Step it up, Congress! Enact immediate cuts in carbon emissions, and pledge an 80% reduction by 2050. No half measures, no easy compromises - the time has come to take the real actions that can stabilize our climate."

This reduction in CO2 may seem far-fetched, but it is within our grasp. Now we need our elected leaders to take the bold steps necessary to make it happen. Rallies in all 50 states are sure to further that goal.

Participating in, or even hosting an event is easy. Take the first step and sign up by visiting:

Thank you,

Al Gore

3. The funds will be to run

dem candidates in our town. I moved here a few years ago, the first time I went to vote I didn't know anyone so figured I would just vote for anyone with a D after their name. Well there was no one, not one dem even to vote for. The R's have everything and we need the money to back at least one candidate and help fund a race for the town council. Even with no one running against them they spend thousands to get elected so any money we can provide will help.

4. Ok, I just didn't know this was a partisan political event

I thought monies raised on April 14 were to go to the climate crisis and environmental causes.
