CODEPINKERS Ashley, Bonnie, Ariel, Dee,Charlie, Des Liz went to Capitol Hill today 3 were dressed up in Polar Bear costumes as we planned on attending the hearing on the plight of Polar Bears & to bring attention to the issue of drilling in Alaska & Global Warming!There were 2 fully decorated Polar Bears that had pink messages "Don't Drill in My Home" as well as several other CODEPINKERS in Pink flashy outfits.
The people that are believers in science are concerned about the dangers associated with a warmer planet.There is direct scientific evidence showing in just a few short years some countries will be under water and no longer exist like Micronesia.We have an opportunity now to somewhat reverse these current energy issues!We Must Act NOW!!
Codepinkers understand the connection between the warming of our planet and this endless occupation of Iraq!
Dependency on foreign natural resources will always make the US less secure this is why we must promote clean energy,fuel efficient vehicles,high speed rail,local farmers markets etc.....
19th Century energy policies coinciding with dependence on OIL are underming the national security of the US.This was an opportunity to get our message out Save Polar Bears with a strong energy policy and save the environment.
My congressman John Shadegg sits on the Select Energy committee but seems to think Global Warming is not a real threat! Time and time again Shadegg votes against progressive environmental policy shifts. John Shadegg has voted against Renewable Energy & Alternative Fuels over and over which really doesn't represent the majoirty of Arizona constituents or the realities of the type of change we need to pursue for tmorrow's sake~
Protecting the Polar Bears means protecting all life forms on Mother Earth......so let's notleave Arizona back in the last century....let's look forward and Save the Polar Bears and stop the addiction to OIL!!
