In two days Al Gore will be visiting Congress to testify on the immediate action that needs to be taken to end the climate change crisis, Gore's gathered over 295,000 messages from citizens
that he'll hand deliver to Congressmen and Senators demonstrating the broad public support for stopping our climate crisis.

Morris has already reached out to his personnel circle to ask them to show their support of this effort, we hope that the rest of you who are concerned about climate change will do the same.
From AlGore.com:

The reason Congress has so far failed to act is not because there are no solutions to the problem. Nor is it because the majority doesn't believe that the climate crisis is real. They have failed to act, because they have not yet faced a sufficient expression of political will on the part of the American people demanding they confront our climate crisis head on. You and I know that political will is a renewable resource, and enough already exists to start solving this crisis. We just have to communicate that forcefully to the political leaders of our country.

So what can we do? Well, Mr. Gore's trying to get 350,000 letters to hand to Congress two days from now. To send a letter of your own and to show your support you can go to AlGore.com and fill out one for yourself demanding Congress take action.

from the Al Gore List serve that says they are now at 405,758 signatures, and they are hoping to get to 500,000!  That would be a fantastic showing, I hope the RK communites decideds to be apart of this.
