[Green-Activist] a help request... before the election...

[Anne Goddard]

Dear friends :-)

Could you please spend a couple minutes lending me a hand before election 
day, I understand how busy everyone is in these hectic times...

I have been collecting signatures on our groups' Climate Change Mitigation 
petition in an effort to reach 1000 signatures by election day...
There are only 38 signatures needed to reach our goal, but only 4 days to 
go!
So close... and yet so far...

I know this is a big request, but if at all possible could you possibly 
forward this message on to some of your most active friends, help us reach 
our goal by Saturday... Please!

The petition is here http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/737214963
The petition feeds back to the front page of our website:
http://globalclimatechangeaction.org
Your name would be instantly visable there (unless you sign anonymously).
It would be a great honour to have your name added in the final few 
signatures.

The Greens, the Democrats and the Socialist Alliance have all endorsed the 
wording which is pasted below and can be viewed by clicking on "letter" 
under our logo at the site:

Global Petition for the implementation of sustainable energy production and 
living systems:

We, as global citizens, having the right to decide where our taxes are 
spent, and being increasingly concerned about our taxes and research funding 
being invested into subsidizing unsustainable and polluting energy 
production methods which induce climate change (for example the coal and 
nuclear industries) hereby request that those tax dollars and research funds 
be RE-CHANNELED into sustainable energy production that will protect the 
planet and benefit all its inhabitants, indefinitely.

Due to Climate Change through high levels of CO2 being released into our 
atmosphere (and overwhelming information from the scientific community 
confirming this) we believe that our taxes and research funding would be 
better spent in reducing CO2 emissions if they were invested into clean, 
sustainable energy production methods and living systems.

We believe our tax dollars and research funding, which are currently spent 
on the production of energy for our use, must increasingly be used for the 
development and supply of the following sustainable energy production 
methods and living systems:

1. Research and development of government owned geothermal energy 
production.
2. Research and development of Tidal; Wind; and Solar Power energy 
production.
3. More Government-funded scientific investigations to support 
infrastructure for local, clean, sustainable energy supplies.
4. The re-installment and/or continuation and/or the immediate development 
of a solar energy rebate scheme and the creation of subsidies and/or rebate 
scheme(s) for other alternative clean and sustainable power supply systems.
5. The development of Government funding support (at all levels) for 
sustainable living education programs for individuals and families.
6. Improved and affordable family oriented local and national public 
transport, funded by all levels of Government, which remain in the hands of 
the people of our nation.
7. Adequate Government funding (from all levels) for the maintenance and 
upkeep of our existing public transport systems and infrastructures.
8. No further privatisation of our existing rail systems and publicly owned 
transport infrastructures.

We also request that taxes currently spent on scientific research into 
polluting, toxic and CO2 producing industries be re-channeled into 
scientific research leading to the rapid and immediate development of CLEAN, 
NON-POLLUTING, SAFE and SUSTAINABLE energy production methods and living 
systems.

We thank you for your attention

I live in hope...

Warmest regards
