Its the (w)right thing to do...

Last night the intrepid activists of Burlington Step it Up joined forces with VPIRG to get the word out to the last remaining Legislator in Burlington who is against overriding Gov. Douglas’ veto of the global warming bill.

His name?

Kurt Wright.

His phone number? (if you’d like to give him a call and ask him to do the ehemm… Wright thing)

658-1410

I must say, despite there being only seven of us it was a great event! We had lots of public interest in the form of honks, waves, shouts of support, and people stopping by. But an event like this is about more than just asking one legislator to do the right thing. It’s about keeping the conversation going.

Win or loose on July 11^th the most important thing is that all of keep going, keep struggling, and keep seeking the right answers to global climate change. In other words, no matter the cost, the derisive comments by blind bureaucrats (or governors…), or legislative mishaps the issue remains: Climate Change is real, it is happening, and we can do something about. The people who joined me last night in the new north end see that, as do many of you. Getting out and acting out is more than just our duty as citizens who care about our climate and future, it’s simply the right thing to do.

Oh, and by the way thanks to Peter Freyne for stopping by, snapping some shots, and getting some great quotes for his blog! Check out his blog post about us here. Oh yeah, and thanks again Peter for letting me use the photo.
