If WE don’t talk about global warming in front of cameras, the rest of the nation won’t see it as an issue that matters to our generation. How do we get our questions on the lips of debate moderators, though? Is there a website we can acquire the information about submitting questions before debates?

Florida Atlantic University is hosting two televised candidate debates January 24th (Rep) and January 27th (Dem, MAYBE). If you’re in Florida, let’s plan on making our issues visible!

So sign the petition…and then do more! C-SPAN, FOX, and all the major networks get their student interest or quickshots in if we attend events the presidential campaigns are a part of. Mobilize your local groups to present uniformly on this issue in front the cameras. Wear your shirts with environmental messages and hold up your signs asking for better environmental change.

You can find out where the primaries are and who will hosting televised events here: http://www.presidentpolls2008.com/Articles/2008-election-look.html

Check candidate websites for appearance listings and plan your exposure!

Remember, February 5th (my birthday!) is the day for multiple Primaries. The outcome of that day is a huge step in defining our Democratic and Republican nominees. Make Youtube videos en masse and send them to major networks. Tell them environmental issues mobilize massive groups of students around the country and we have the numbers, videos, and support to prove it.

Interesting point. It’s funny the same people who don’t belive in global warming are the same ones who think we’re being invaded by Martians.

That is truly incredible that a total of 3 questions were asked. Both are very important questions in my book. Both are of great concern to me. Global warming and UFO’s are of equal concern to me simply because many say aliens are here to help us with such problems either by taking our dna to reproduce us on another planet or to take over. I want to know the answer to this and I want the governments to step up and tell the truth about what they know. They do know!
