Hot day for the IGW Snowman!

-- Andrew Snow -- 05/20/2008

From IGW organizer Drew Veysey:

Wow, something amazing is happening outside. I don’t have much time to blog now, my 4th day working for Iowa Global Warming and I am already putting on a snowman costume for the big Barack Obama rally! After the HUGE rally Obama had in Oregon, we are expecting thousands to line up to see him declare a primary victory. The folks here at Iowa Global Warming are going to be signing people up for action alerts, getting more and more people organized to demand Iowa solutions to global warming. Every elected official needs to make global warming a priority, from the President all the way down to dog-catcher. It’s imperative that Senator Obama remembers his pledges to cut greenhouse gas emissions 80% by 2050. If you have the time, come on down and see history being made tonight, May 20th, at 7:30 on Grand and Locust in Des Moines.

I attended the meeting this morning, and provided my own comments to the Council, asking that they choose bold recommendations for action. Read More
