Email this PetitionOne Million Citizens - One Goal: Stop Global Warming!
We want one million people like you to demand that elected officials in America take action to stop global warming and support the Climate Stewardship Act. This historic legislation, introduced by Senate leaders John McCain (AZ) and Joseph Lieberman (CT), is one of the most important chances we have to act to avert dangerous climate change. No environmental goal is more important for the 21st century. SIGN NOW! TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO SIGN AS WELL!

I would strongly urge anyone, no matter your status, age, or political orientation, to take 2 hours of their time in order to pay attention to something other than, if not more important that, terrorists and Iraq. What seemed so remote from our daily lives is coming fast enough to affect our children now that we have ignored it for so long. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE! |

| 19,507 | 11:56 am PST, Jan 31 | Amber Wagner | It has been important to take action for a long time. Up until recently people have been ignoring the issue because everyone assumes its mother natures job to take care of the issue. Its ashame we have to over populate the planet and destroy our enviornment for people to recognize there is a problem. |
