The Progressive coup' -now or never

I've been reading this brilliant article while falling into a strange mix of melancholy and determination as my grand plan subtly defines. I didn't realize there was this, Al Gore.com and he's communicating to us again.

The elections of 2012 will make us or break us. The results will be the most significant and profound in all of history as it is the Great Tipping point, or as Mr. Gore has written, "Here is the core of it: we are destroying the climate balance that is essential to the survival of our civilization. This is not a distant or abstract threat; it is happening now. The United States is the only nation that can rally a global effort to save our future. And the president is the only person who can rally the United States."

The people must help their President. We must give him the tools he needs for success. The proper tool is an overwhelmingly liberal congress. Narrow democratic majorities are far from majority. Conservative democrats are little better than republicans.





He concludes, "The climate crisis, in reality, is a struggle for the soul of America. It is about whether or not we are still capable — given the ill health of our democracy and the current dominance of wealth over reason — of perceiving important and complex realities clearly enough to promote and protect the sustainable well-being of the many. What hangs in the balance is the future of civilization as we know it."

This is a battle for every soul. Whether by god or by one's own conscience, each will have to answer for their life, their choices. This is the great moment when humanity either repents or condemns.

There are reasonable activists don't ya know.
