UPDATE (June 5, 2008):The Senate has scheduled a "cloture" vote to end the filibuster on the Climate Security Act tomorrow morning. It could come as early as tonight.
-----------
The Senate is set to vote on the Climate Security Act in early June.
It is crucial that the bill gets passed this year. Each year we wait means extra effort in reducing emissions to avoid catastrophic global warming.
There are five simple but extremely important reasons why the Senate must act now:
Every year we wait equals extra effort.
The science is unforgiving.
The political opportunity is ripe.
Someone is going to win the global race to reinvent energy. It should be us.
This is an opportunity for the 110th Congress to leave its legacy.
We have no time to lose. Help keep up the pressure so the Senate doesn't miss this historic opportunity!
We took action on “URGENT: Support the Climate Security Act!”!

The problem was created overnight and the solution will not come that way either, but it won't come at all if we do not start RIGHT NOW to do something!

An opportunity to make a huge moral and ethical decision for your children before you die. Failure means more climate disasters which costs more than prevention. How will history judge your actions? What will your legacy be?

We need to act now, not later. We cannot affort to put the concerns of global warming off any longer. We have known about this for over 30 years. I urge you as a Senator to do your job representing the good of the people and do it now.
