You’ve won a trip to Poland! « It’s Getting Hot In Here

This week, we set the goal of sending over 20,000 invitations to Obama and McCain to attend the UN Climate Meetings before tonight’s debate. Thanks to your help: we did it! There are a few hours left until the debate begins and we’ve already blown past 21,000 invites.

350.org supporters are on the ground with Power Vote at tonight’s debates in New York to present Obama and McCain a giant ticket to Poland. Think of it as a prize for the election’s winner - like a trip to Disney Land, but way more important (and way colder).

Our team will post updates from the action here on the blog this evening, so check back. In this post is an early pic of the ticket from a cell phone camera. In the meantime, keep the invites coming - and if you’ve already signed, pass on the invite to your friends and family.

Congrats again to all our friends and allies for breaking the 20,000 mark in style!
