Don't be one of these guys on climate change.
While you're commenting on how you think the Democratic debate went, take out a little time
to see if there is a climate-related action in your neck of the woods Wednesday:
Six weeks out from critical United Nations climate talks in Paris, local communities across the U.S. are calling for bold action to combat climate change. On Wednesday, Oct. 14, labor, faith, environmental justice, students and immigrant organizations are working with the People’s Climate Movement to organize nearly 200 events across the country to demand that our leaders bring a strong agenda to the Paris talks. [...]
The People’s Climate Movement National Day of Action will highlight the important local work being done in front line communities as well as bring attention to the upcoming United Nations talks. The events, ranging from marches to rallies, will bring together people from all walks of life to show our leaders that climate change is everyone’s issue. [...]

Blast from the Past. At Daily Kos on this date in 2011—Senate Republicans unveil 'new jobs plan' identical to all previous GOP 'jobs plans':
With as much fanfare as could be mustered, which as it turns out is not all that much, Senate Republicans (in this instance, John McCain, Rand Paul and Rob Portman) have released their newest "jobs plan", this one called the "Real American Jobs Act", which is not to be confused with the American Jobs Act, because this one has the word "Real". The carefully crafted document is identical to every other Republican "jobs plan" proposed in the last few years:
[The plan] amounts to a conservative’s dream agenda: targeting labor and environmental regulations, enacting a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution, lowering corporate and individual tax rates, encouraging energy production and expanding free trade, according to a draft obtained by POLITICO. |
So, their "jobs plan" is to cut taxes on corporations and the wealthy, gut regulations, drill for more oil and do a Balanced Budget Amendment, which is literally the exact same crap in every other Republican "plan" in existence. The difference is that this time, they're adding the word "Real."
