National Climate Seminar

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

This Wednesday at 3 PM Eastern, The National Climate Seminar is pleased to welcome Mike Tidwell, Director of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, who will be discussing the CLEAR legislation introduced by Senators Cantwell and Collins. Join us for a half an hour of important conversation.

Call in number is 712-432-3100; conference code, 253385. Send advance questions for Tidwell to [email protected].

CLEAR is the “cap-and-dividend” bill that returns most of the CO2 auction revenues directly to the public. Mike will talk about how the Bill would work, and the political strategy for getting 60 votes in the Senate.

After Tidwell’s talk, stay on the line to learn about our our upcoming Let’s Talk Conference Calls with US Senate Offices. Please alert any teachers and students you know in NORTH CAROLINA, FLORIDA, IOWA and MAINE about and have them get their classes on these calls. Live in a state not listed? Send us an e-mail at [email protected], and help us organize a call-in your state.

SCHEDULE OF UPCOMING CALLS (EST):

NORTH CAROLINA: Friday, March 19th, 12 noon

FLORIDA: Thursday, March 25th, 4 pm

IOWA: Tuesday, March 30th, 1pm

MAINE: Tuesday, April 13th, 1pm

We need your help in the other states in volunteering to convene a call, or just in getting the word out. Our staff will do all the logistical work—contacting Senate staff to set up the calls, soliciting the questions and managing the call. To learn more, give me a call at 845-758-7067 or e-mail us at [email protected]

These are not lobbying calls, but rather educational dialogues. Students need to understand the positions held by their representatives. And senators need to know that thousands of young people in their states are looking to them to act with moral responsibility to all life on earth.

Thanks for the work you are doing.

For more information, call 845-758-6822.

Location: Anywhere, just call in!
