Put the environmental pressure on New Hampshire!

Why have the candidates not talked about environmental issues as much recently? Democrats of course, put environmental protection in their agenda because of their party base, but they have not talked about it as much.
In my opinion, John Edwards is the most environmentally friendly of the Democrats and John McCain is the most environmentally friendly of the Republicans.

The only way, as Al Gore says, for candidates to take the environment problem seriously and to put it on their agenda when they become President is for us the voters, to pressure them about it.

So, here is what I'm asking you to do. Have everyone you know in New Hampshire or a state that candidates will be going to soon to button-hole the candidates on the environmental issues. In their meet-and-greet sessions, ask them questions like, "What will you do to help the environment?" or "How do you plan to address the environment alongside other concerns?" or "How important is the environment to you? Why?"

It is imperative that we start this grass-roots action or the next President won't address this problem and it cannot afford to be ignored any longer.

So, please remind everyone - even those who can't vote to remind candidates of their duty to the well-being of our Earth and us.

Thanks!
