This is a bit of quick but gratifying online activism.
US Representative Lamar Smith — R Texas — is chair of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. He is also a climate change denier, of course, since he’s a Republican. Hell, he’s probably an overall science-denier, too.
But he would like to hear from you here in this e-survey on his website.
What do you think should be a priority? Here are the choices he offers you:
What should Congress’s Priority Be for the New Year?
- Cut federal spending
- Invest in infrastructure
- Reduce regulation
- Reform the tax code
- Replace Obamacare
- Secure the border
- Other (please specify)
Please click “Other” and specify “climate change mitigation.” It’ll take two minutes.
It won’t change anything, of course, but it if enough of us do it, he’ll be uncomfortable. And making these rightwing zealots uncomfortable is important work these days—much more than re-fighting the fucking primary wars.

Thanks!
