What's Going on America
Nov 14 2008

I’m posting tonight to inform readers of an of an upcoming event (that no matter which party you support, can hopefully agree that clean energy is important to all of us).  As Senator Obama said in his victory speech, it’s time to “join in the work of remaking this nation”. But how are we going to move forward as a nation? 

At noon on Tuesday, November 18th, you can join hundreds of people in Upper Senate Park, Washington, D.C. hear the various ideas that are being presented to President-elect Obama. Congressman Chris Van Hollen, a top House leader, Bill McKibben, founder of Step It Up and 350.org, and other inspiring speakers will be presenting to our new leaders and encouraging President-elect Obama to act on his commitment to climate action.
