But, no matter. The CC folks will trapse down to DC and demand action because NH citizens demanded it. Wait a few years out, and NH will be living the impacts of their mindless vote. But, of course, they will never understand the connection. What a joke.

I wanted to update everyone that yesterday was the last day for NH towns to submit petition articles to their Board of Selectmen, so the official count for towns that will see the Climate Change Resolution as a Warrant Article in March is now . . drum roll please . . . . 176!!! Wahooo. I am looking forward to reading about the “Inconvenient Truth” screening in Bristol. I plan to head up to the land this weekend so we can catch up then! Also, Nicholas’s efforts in Oregon sound really awesome. I checked out the website and wish you well over there on the West coast. It’s amazing how the internet allows us to share strategies and stories in real time across states and even across continents! Thanks for the comments fellas.

I'm a student in Oregon, trying to get cities in my own state to take local action against global warming. I'm just getting my effort off the ground, and I would be soooo grateful to anyone (especially Oregon folks) who would visit my website - http://www.occsn.blogspot.com/ - and have a look around. We've got petitions to sign, and lots more. I think local governments have a very important part to play in the fight against global warming - and best of all is that it's so easy for regular people to influence local governments.

As a new local of Bristol, NH, it's great to see what other towns are doing, especially Keene. And "Live Free (of GW) or die!" is a genius juxtaposition of the value of independence in NH and the need to take global responsibility...deadly seriously. Just to share one of my favorite quotes: "Freedom is only part of the story and half the truth...That is why I recommend that the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast be supplanted by a Statue of Responsibility on the West Coast." -Victor E. Frankl I hope we can collaborate more for a NH free from global warming and free to live well into the 25th century! p.s. I plan to submit a blog post later today about the screening "An Inconvenient Truth" we held last night in Bristol, NH. It was a huge success for us.
