The clean energy bill now moves to the Senate and we're prepared to push for a stronger bill. But we're in trouble: Big Oil and Dirty Coal, and other polluters are sure to outspend us in their lobby efforts to further weaken the bill.

Civil disobiedience is good as long as the source causes no harm to life. I think Lame Deer was up there too at some point, to express his view from a native American perspective. My father walked into Rushmore in protest to the gov National Park shutdown during financial crisis years ago. There is "Charity in Truth", so the pope said yesterday in... Read More Caritas in Veritae" and actions speak louder then words. So thanks for a strong voice, I wish I had a photo of the faces of those founding fathers, and I will look forward to stronger actions by Obama and contributions by Van Jones.

Susan at 6:29pm July 6
glad to have you back in nick! the compromises are tough to look at, but with so many republicans voting against the whole idea of climate change, it meant leadership in the house had to accommodate every conservative democrat to get their vote. the senate should be a different animal, so hopefully we activists can fix this bill.

after this is all done, perhaps we can work on election reform!

Thanks, Nick and you are exactly right, Susan. We completely understand, a lot of folks think we're playing soft on the bill. Far from it. We want a strong bill, not one bought off my special interests. That's why we need people like you involved with speaking up.

George Shears With the passage of ACES in the house, we have successfully gotten halfway across a very treacherous river that's filled with some of the greediest alligators around. Completing the rest of this crucial crossing through the the sharks of the Senate will require great determination and persistence. Let's go for it!!!

Rev. Every single call counts. Take 5 minutes and do it. I'm blessed to have a representative who's already said "yes," but many of the rest of you out there can speak with authority as constituents to members of Congress still on the fence. You really CAN make a difference.
