Dear PDA Friend,
I’ve been incredibly gratified by the response to An Inconvenient Truth. I’m extremely proud of all the work the team put into the film and it feels like it came at a crucial time. But now comes the hard work. We have to take this message to Washington. And we can’t do it without you.
Yes, the new majority in Congress will be much more receptive on the importance of global warming. That’s the good news. But I know from personal that the only thing that will make Washington really take notice and do more than give lip service to the problem of global warming is the prospect of millions of committed citizens taking
action. It’s time to join together and make that happen. Can you help?
First, I’m asking folks to hold house parties {click here}, in thousands of homes across the nation, to show the film and spread the word. We’re doing the first wave on Saturday, December 16. Can you host a party? Or attend a party that one of your neighbors is hosting?
Second, I’m asking everybody, whether you attend a party or not, to sign a postcard {www.algore.com/cards.html} to your representatives, so that I can take a million postcards and messages to Washington in January and present them to the new Congress.
We have to build the political will to do what has to be done. Luckily, in America, political will is a renewable resource.
Thank you,
Al Gore
