The day may come when that�s what we need. But we think that it�s even more important for candidates and elected officials to know that the people back in their districts really care about this issue.

We also think it�s going to be truly striking for Americans to turn on the TV and see their neighbors in places commemorating leaders of the past all across the nation.� Some rallies will commemorate our national heroes: George Washington, Ceasar Chavez, Ben Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, Rosa Parks, Dr. King, Rachel Carson, and more.� And more at places that invoke the spirit of local leaders as well: on church steps and in city parks, or at�memorials for local leaders and the sites of a great acts of courage.� This is the America we want to honor and emmulate as we�take on global warming and realize the opportunities of our time�it�s the America we dearly love.

Not only that, but staying close to home cuts down on carbon emissions�which is the point, after all.
