McCain Feels the Heat! « It’s Getting Hot In Here

On November 3rd, while thousands of students rally in D.C. for Power Shift 2007, citizens in hundreds of communities across the country will demand each and every member of Congress and Presidential Candidate tell us their plan to stop global warming. All fall, using a new tool on the Step It Up website, people will send hundreds of invites to each politician until they agree to attend an event - - with an action in every state in the country and almost every Congressional district, there’s no excuse to say no: wherever they may be, we’ll be waiting.

Help us invite politicians by logging on to www.stepitup2007.org or asking them in person. Check out this video of Step It Up organizer Kelly Blynn inviting Senator John McCain to see how it’s done:

One year before the election, we’ll find who’s a leader . . . and who’s just another politician.
