URGE THE 2004 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES TO ADDRESS THE ENVIRONMENT!
Global warming, acid rain, polluted waters, and air pollution affect
Democrats, Independents and Republicans alike. Over 80% of Americans agree
that the environment should be a national priority... but the Bush
Administration has failed on the environment, by rolling back our landmark
protections and favoring corporate polluters over the public interest. The
President's own strategists have noted that President Bush is particularly
vulnerable on these issues in the 2004 campaign. Environmental issues must
be a major part of the 2004 presidential campaign!
Significant environmental issues that must be addressed now:
1) Clean Air and Water Standards
2) Toxic Chemicals and Cleanups
3) Public Lands Preservation
4) US Dependence on Dirty Fossil Fuels
5) Threats from Climate Change
6) Wildlife Conservation
Sign now to let the candidates know that Americans want these issues to be a
high priority in the presidential campaign. The environment IS a priority;
it is time that it becomes part of the national debate!
Your comments will be delivered via email to each of the Presidential
candidates.
We signed the “Candidates: Make Environment Part of the National Debate!” petition!

maybe if Bush is forced to speak to the public about his environmental policies, people will realize what a terrible president he is.

The environment is an area where the most lasting effects of a presidency are registered. Lets put the topic on the floor.

Its about time we as a nation started caring about the wonderful habitats that make up this country. Congress should be involved in the preservation of this country.Not just in documents, but in the world. It is a part of America so it should be protected by the government not plundered, and polluted.

We have used every excuse to abuse the land, air and water of this planet. It is time to begin to use our knowledge to produce technology that uses renewable resources for our enormous energy consumption.

This should have always been a concern,so how is this considered "not important"? These are issues that effect everything and everybody.

Seeing as how Dub has made it his priority to ignore environmental issues, this is a good topic for debate.

Yo, candidates ~~ the Environment is the MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE for you, for me, for the Earth, for existence. If we can't breathe, we don't need an economy; if we have no clean water left, we don't need a foreign policy; if we all die of chemical poisoning, we won't need a Patriot Act. Get the picture? I'd really like to hear what you have to say about this. Put it on your TO DO (debate) list.

If we can save our environment why should ignore it? We need our world to be healthy for us to be healthy.

This is truly our most important issue.
