Congress needs to wake up to climate change.

Daniel, The United States Senate is asleep at the wheel as we careen out of control toward devastating climate change -- and it's time to wake up! So tonight, more than 20 of my colleagues and I are going to pull an "all-nighter," speaking on the Senate floor for more than 14 hours to draw attention to the climate change threat. And we need you to stand with us. Sign on at WakeUpToClimateChange.com right now -- and join us in calling on Congress to wake up and take urgent action on climate change! I'm proud to serve as co-chair of the new Climate Action Task Force with my friend Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. Along with our colleague, Senator Brian Schatz, we've organized senators to speak around the clock, from 6:30 p.m. ET tonight to at least 9 a.m. ET Tuesday morning. Together, we must lay out the facts behind climate change and try to wake up Congress before it's too late. Will you show your support by standing with us virtually, online, as we take to the Senate floor all night tonight? Sign on at WakeUpToClimateChange.com right now -- and join us in calling on Congress to wake up and take urgent action on climate change! Congress needs to step up now before it is too late. We must ensure that we leave our children and grandchildren a planet that is livable! Thanks for always being there. In Friendship, Barbara Boxer U.S. Senator P.S. After you sign on at WakeUpToClimateChange.com, will you forward this email to three friends and invite them to stand with us too? We want hundreds of thousands of Americans to join our call -- and help deliver a powerful wake-up call to Congress that our opponents can't ignore. TAKE ACTION »
