A message from Senators Barbara Boxer and John Kerry.

Joseph Raglione
Gentle readers within this American Chronicle, Barbara Boxer is absolutely on the right path but she needs your help! Come to think about it, unless you like natural disasters, you need her help a great deal more than she needs yours, but who is quibling? It is way past the time to get serious about global warming!

Dear Joseph,

It's time for America to get serious about tackling the climate change crisis.

That's why, late last month, Senator Kerry and I introduced the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act — critical legislation that will put our country on the path to a clean energy future.

But now we need your help to push this bill forward. This week, the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee begins debate on our legislation. We know that our colleagues will be bombarded by special interest lobbyists who don't want this legislation to pass, skeptics who don't believe the science, and other naysayers who say America isn't ready to face this challenge.

These folks are wrong. It's time for action. So join us, today, and make sure the press, pundits, and our opponents know where you stand.

Visit KerryBoxer.com and sign on as a citizen co-sponsor of the Kerry-Boxer climate change bill now — and stand with us in this fight for America's clean energy future!

The Kerry-Boxer bill will create new clean energy jobs, reduce pollution from carbon emissions, and protect our national security by generating more clean energy here in America and fighting global climate change.

Our legislation builds on the landmark Waxman-Markey bill passed by the House earlier next year, and strengthens it even more — notably by boosting the carbon emissions reduction target up to 20% by 2020.


America can lead the clean energy revolution around the world, slashing our carbon emissions while creating millions of new clean energy jobs right here at home.

That's what the Kerry-Boxer bill will do — but we need your help to get it passed.

We know that clean energy is the ticket to economic growth, with the potential to generate nearly 2 million new jobs.

But it's also about defending America's national security against the harms of pollution and the risks of global climate change.

By acting now, we can take charge of our own energy future, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, tackle the climate change crisis, and leave a better planet for generations to come.

This is our challenge. This is our time. It's time to step up.

Please stand with us.

Sincerely,

Barbara Boxer

U.S. Senator

Chair, Environment & Public Works Committee

About Joseph Raglione
Hi! I am the executive director of the World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement. I began as an environmental activist in 1969 and basically, never stopped! I Graduated College in Social Science and registered as a non-profit corporation in 1988 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am one of a very few non-profit and generic freedom loving journalists left on Earth, and I continue today to study and to understand the problems connected with human activity on this Planet. My affiliates include: GreenPeace, the Nature Conservancy, the Bio-diversity organization, the Sierra Club, the David Suzuky foundation, the WWF, Amnesty International, World Vision, the IUF organization; as well as the wonderful and independant N.A.S.A. scientists studying our Planet's weather systems. Of course NASA also studies the mysteries of the Eternal Universe with satelite generated images and, over the years, have generously allowed me and thousands of our world scientists to study over their shoulder's via the Internet.
In spite of some past U.S. government repression, NASA continues to provide solid evidence of global warming.
NASA has provided me with pictorial evidence of Rainforest deforestation within: Jakarta, Peru, Africa, Brazil and even in Western Canada!
The motivation for such destruction continues to be (often illegally) for: lumber, for bio-fuels, and for Cattle ranching. Today, the perceived future profits for Palm Oil and for Bio-Fuels are prime motivators for environmental destruction. Small crop farming also contributes but that may be changing as farmers learn to protect the Rain-Forest.
With NASA imaging, there is proof that large city heat traps are helping global warming, and with (infrared images)there is proof that several hundred million gas burning vehicles (including ship and airplanes) presently create a hugh quantity of pollution tracks across both Oceans and Sky.
With oil, gas, Coal and Bio-Fuel heated buildings around the world creating C02 emissions, and with Methane release from all animal species...giant Ozone holes have been created and continue to exist above the North and South Poles. Ozone holes allow the Sun to radiate the Ice Caps and to accelerate the Ice melt, which releases more Methane into the atmosphere, which continues to thin out the Ozone. A vicious circle created by human need and also, unhappily, by human greed!
I have been asked to write to the Prime Minister of Japan to ask him to stop the murderous assault on endangered Whales. Every year, thousands of Whales are killed in the Antarctic with GreenPeace volunteers placing themselves between the Whales and the grenade tipped harpoons, and peope like myself, (I did not forget this is my "Bio," putting my old neck on the line attempting to change the situation by writing thousands if not millions of words!
Are words dangerous?
Over three hundred journalists were killed within the last ten years. You tell me if words are dangerous!
As I write these words, the desperate and starving in Darfur are waiting for rescue. I motivated a few kind hearted California Actors to visit the region and to report back. They did! They then created the Darfur coalition and they continue to fight to save the innocent victims trapped in tents in the desert of the Sudan. Darfuri's were attacked and moved from their homes because somebody believes there is Oil under the Sudan desert.
As I write this, a few sick and desperate people in Iraq are wrapping bombs around themselves in order to die in the name of God, and the list of humanitarian disasters continues. I also contribute information to the Reuter's news service. It is time for a change. Please help make it happen!
