How to Counteract False Advertising by the Coal, Oil, and Natural Gas Industries
Posted Dec 18 2008 7:20pm
I received an important email today that I wanted to share with you. It warrants immediate action. Read this, watch the video, visit the website, and then pass the information on to everyone you know because by getting the word out about this issue, we are helping every single person on earth have a healthier future.
"The coal, oil, and natural gas industries have spent millions of dollars on ads with false claims to influence voters, the media, and the candidates. But now we have a chance to make our voices heard, too.
TONIGHT, Wednesday, October 15, millions of Americans will be glued to their TVs to watch the final presidential debate.
A 10-year old 1Sky supporter and climate activist, Nikos Spiridakis, just made thispowerful 30 second video. Nikos' video captures the fear we all face when thinking about what will happen if we -- and especially our next president -- don't actnowto stop climate change.
Play Nikos' message, then put it on TV during Wednesday night's debate:
After driving from Denver to Los Angeles in the summer of 2007 and passing through 10 forest fires on the way, Nikos knew global warming was taking a terrible toll on our planet.
Nikos' ad can help us put climate change at the center of the presidential campaign and move people to demand bold climate action. Help us broadcast it during the final presidential debate:
You've already helped put climate change front and center during this campaign through our "clean energy, not clean coal" petition. Thanks to you, Senators McCain and Obama have already received over30,000 emailsurging them to reject the "clean coal" myth and instead embrace truly clean energy.
Your contribution today will make the difference between airing this ad to a few thousand or a few million people at one time.If we raise $20,000 over the next 24 hours, we can air this ad during Wednesday night's debate coverage. We're more than halfway there, but to reach our goal we need your help!
Please make a tax-deductible contribution right now. The more we raise, the more markets we will buy in, and the more people will learn about our campaign for bold climate solutions.
