Sign Petition: The Heat Is On, 100,000 signatures needed!

Dear Blog Readers,

Can you believe that in just two years a new president will be inaugurated?

At this critical juncture, we have a tremendous opportunity to make sure our next president is committed to solving global warming.

Will you help? Take action now and lend your voice to call for solutions to the climate crisis.

Because real solutions to global warming are so important, the League of Conservation Voters has launched an unprecedented campaign to make climate change a top priority for the presidential candidates.

The Heat Is On! From the start, we plan to make a big splash: 100,000 voices united in a call for global warming solutions. Together, we’ll make sure every serious presidential candidate hears our concern about global climate change when it counts the most.

But only if you sign the petition. Will you help us reach 100,000?

This issue can’t wait. Climate change’s destructive impact on our precious wildlife is already obvious -- from Alaska, where melting sea ice is pushing polar bears to the brink of extinction to Florida, where rising sea levels threaten huge areas of crucial habitat for coastal and wetland wildlife.

The terrible truth is this: Global warming is real and it is an unprecedented threat to our environment, our health, and our economy. That's why this will be our biggest campaign ever.

To put this issue-front-and-center in the race for the presidency, we have committed to…

Place organizers in early voting states - Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada - to work on the ground with our state league partners

Challenge the media to cover global warming as part of the presidential campaign, meeting with reporters who cover the candidates

Track and report what each of the candidates is saying about global warming

Use the 2008 presidential primaries to generate a vigorous national debate on global warming

This is just the beginning. Two years from now, because of your hard work, we can inaugurate a president who will combat global warming and usher in a new era of clean energy. But it all starts now with us.

Thank you so much for your support.

Sincerely,

Gene Karpinski
President
