My wife and I are eagerly looking forward to seeing the movie An Inconvenient Truth - we'd have seen it already if we had baby sitting lined up, and have arranged for this on the 19th of June. I'm confident that the movie will move us deeply. I just read a colleague's blog post on the movie, and I received the list of links below from another close friend. (A second post from the same colleague is particularly germane to this topic: see Trees for the future: carbon offset programs. We are planning to participate in this program.)

Please see An Inconvenient Truth and urge your friends and family to see it, too. Visit ClimateCrisis.net, write your senators and representatives, and urge Al Gore to run for president. Something has changed in him since the election was stolen from him - he's unafraid to stand up and speak what is right. This is what we need now. More importantly, this is what our children need and deserve.

Links from a friend with some comments from me:

• Petition to
  Draft Al Gore for President in 2008 - I've signed
• Excellent speech on the Constitutional crisis in this country [16 January 2006] - Al being forceful and eloquent while delivering a powerful message (audio and text versions available, too)
• An interview with Terry Gross from NPR.org [Fresh Air, 30 May 2006] - Al expressed surprise that there hasn't been more outrage.... we need to assure him that there is, that we are not asleep!
• How to contact Al Gore - Drop him a line and see if there's something you can do in your spare time to help
• Was the 2004 Election Stolen? [Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Rolling Stone, 1 June 2006]
• Finally, a little comic relief... - Hilarious!

May we bring honor and hope back to this country!
