South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham is working to pass the Kerry-Boxer climate bill, understanding that America’s future depends upon it.
I’ve sent him the following letter. I urge all people who care about future generations to write a letter of thanks.
Senator Graham:
Your bipartisan work on the climate bill will be remembered by historians as a pivotal moment in American politics.
I work in environmental publishing, and so I read hundreds of clean tech and global warming stories every week, and I’m fully versed in what the climate scientists are saying. This is the most serious threat ever faced by humanity, and we will either rise to the greatness of our parents and grandparents who fought a world war on our behalf, or we will diminish, and those who follow will suffer for our lack of resolve.
First Nations in North America have a haunting expression: We do not inherit this land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.
Against this sentiment will your work be judged. I think your children and grandchildren will be proud of you.
Hey Richard,
Thanks for the suggestion and link. You made it impossible NOT to respond, so I sent a letter of thanks as well.
Interesting, but depressing, to read the “Tales of the Canadian Government”; reminds me of the US in the not-too-far-distant- past; not that we’re THAT much better now, but at least we’re trying, in that half-hearted way you can try when less than 50% of the citizenry believe in evolution!
