Al Gore says our best response to the attacks of the far right is "reality"

Former Vice President Al Gore addressed thousands of people across America tonight on a nationwide calling, calling each of us to action in the most critical week of the fight to secure energy independence and meaningful climate legislation thus far. I'm paraphrasing, but this is some of what Mr. Gore had to say tonight:

We need each of you to call your member of Congress. Let them know how important it is for the U.S. to finally act to curb the polluting emissions associated with global climate change. You won't believe how easy it is to call your member of Congress and tell them to vote YES on final passage of the American Clean Energy and Security Act

Friday the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to take up HR 2454 for final passage. It will take 218 votes to pass the landmark legislation, and the final score is not nearly as important as getting it done and sent to the U.S. Senate where a broad coalition will work to pass this bill for the President's signature before the world meets in Copenhagen.
