Even Slim Shady himself wouldn’t do something like this!
The same dirty energy organization that was behind last weeks scandal of forging letters to politicians saying Americans are not in support of new jobs and clean energy are at it again. They are launching a $1 million campaign to PAY people so fake “activists” can attend town hall meetings and public events and pretend they oppose strong climate and energy legislation!!! <insert outrage here!>
They’re hoping these hired locals will be louder voices than ours so our elected officials think their constituents are not in favor of creating new jobs and investing in clean energy…which they likely are! So shady!!!
This is why we need to grow our movement bigger and louder than ever! PLEASE take a second to join the movement that thousands of other young people have joined and helped build. In the coming weeks we will notify you of different ways that you can get involved on a local and national level, but it starts by taking a few seconds to click here and sign up.
Also, post this link to this blog on your Facebook or Twitter status so your friends can join the movement as well.
Thank you for joining us in the fight!

It’s awful that companies would do something like this. We need more people to step up in opposition to start saving our planet. There’s a group of individuals that are doing just that because they understand the dire consequences that dirty energy ignores – check out http://www.changents.com/earthkeepers to read their stories.
The fossil industry (and the oligarchy it supports) sees the writing on the wall. They are desperate, they are fighting hard, here we see how they are continually changing their tactics, they are mimicking honest grassroots style, attempting to coopt the image of genuine democracy. Sometimes these efforts of clumsy, but they get better with practice. OK, get outraged over the immorality of it, get it out of your system. Then ask: what can we learn from this? How are they working better than we are? Why do we continually go back to petitions and protests? How do we finish the job?
