Hi, I hope everything is going wonderfully in your lives today.

Could you please spend a couple minutes lending me a hand before election
day, I understand how busy everyone is in these hectic times...

I have been collecting signatures on our little groups' (82 global
members' Climate Change Mitigation petition in an effort to reach 1000
signatures by election day...
There are only 38 signatures needed to reach our goal, but only 4 days to
go!
So close... and yet so far...

I know this is a big request, but if at all possible could you possibly
forward this message on to some of your most active friends, help us reach
our goal by Saturday... Please!

The petition is here http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/737214963
The petition feeds back to the front page of our website:
http://globalclimatechangeaction.org
Your name would be instantly visible there (unless you sign anonymously). It would be a great honour to have your name added in the final few signatures.

The Greens, the Democrats and the Socialist Alliance have all endorsed the
wording which is pasted below and can be viewed by clicking on "letter"
under our logo at the site:

Global Petition for the implementation of sustainable energy production and
living systems:

We, as global citizens, having the right to decide where our taxes are
spent, and being increasingly concerned about our taxes and research funding
being invested into subsidizing unsustainable and polluting energy
production methods which induce climate change (for example the coal and
nuclear industries) hereby request that those tax dollars and research funds
be RE-CHANNELED into sustainable energy production that will protect the
planet and benefit all its inhabitants, indefinitely.

Due to Climate Change through high levels of CO2 being released into our
atmosphere (and overwhelming information from the scientific community
confirming this) we believe that our taxes and research funding would be
better spent in reducing CO2 emissions if they were invested into clean,
sustainable energy production methods and living systems.

We believe our tax dollars and research funding, which are currently spent
on the production of energy for our use, must increasingly be used for the
development and supply of the following sustainable energy production
methods and living systems:

1. Research and development of government owned geothermal energy
production.
2. Research and development of Tidal; Wind; and Solar Power energy
production.
3. More Government-funded scientific investigations to support
infrastructure for local, clean, sustainable energy supplies.
4. The re-installment and/or continuation and/or the immediate development
of a solar energy rebate scheme and the creation of subsidies and/or rebate
scheme(s) for other alternative clean and sustainable power supply systems.
5. The development of Government funding support (at all levels) for
sustainable living education programs for individuals and families.
6. Improved and affordable family oriented local and national public
transport, funded by all levels of Government, which remain in the hands of
the people of our nation.
7. Adequate Government funding (from all levels) for the maintenance and
upkeep of our existing public transport systems and infrastructures.
8. No further privatisation of our existing rail systems and publicly owned
transport infrastructures.

We also request that taxes currently spent on scientific research into
polluting, toxic and CO2 producing industries be re-channelled into
scientific research leading to the rapid and immediate development of CLEAN,
NON-POLLUTING, SAFE and SUSTAINABLE energy production methods and living
systems.

We thank you for your attention
