How You Win
If we are to ever solve the greatest problem of our lifetimes, and overcome the special interests working to stop us, we have to want it — and want it bad, because they have already been putting up a fight.
And it could start today. Start by making a contribution to CLCV (it doesn’t even have to be much). Next, pick up the phone, and call your legislators (in your city, your county, in Sacramento, and in DC) and tell them to support legislation that will seriously fight global warming. Then pick a candidate you believe in, and find out what you can do to help them get elected.
