1Sky Washington is a campaign led by Climate Solutions and
Washington Environmental Council, working with partners across the state to
pass strong policies to reduce global warming pollution, decrease our
dependence on fossil fuels, and transition
Our Progress to Date:
In the 2008 legislative session, we worked with Priorities for a
Healthy Washington to pass the Climate
Action and Green Jobs bill, which will create a green jobs training
program, and triple the number of jobs in our state. We also worked to pass the
Local Solutions to Global Warming bill,
to encourage local governments to reduce greenhouse gases. Additionally, we
support work on the Western Climate Initiative, a regional effort to reduce
greenhouse gases in the
What you can do:
1.
Attend a meeting with candidates running for state
legislature along with other constituents. Please
contact me, Andrea, if you can do this at (206) 631-2610 or andrea@1skywashington.org. We’ll organize a conference call beforehand to
brief you on the talking points.
2.
Write a letter to the editor. Candidates
read them. Can you write one? Call
me today at (206) 631-2610 or email me.
Sample
Talking Points for Letters
·
Climate change
is not a partisan issue – all candidates should be making plans to solve it. It
is our generation’s defining challenge, and our greatest opportunity to build a
future worthy of our kids.
·
I will be
voting this election season. Solving climate change is my top priority and I’ll
be voting for the candidates who make it theirs.
·
The Western
Climate Initiative (WCI) is a regional effort that has the potential to
revolutionize how we reduce global warming pollution. If done right, WCI
could serve as a national and even international model for change. But the
draft Initiative needs some major improvements to make it both fair and
effective:
1.
WCI needs to
look at the whole picture, which means including emissions from transportation
(the source of half of our region’s global warming pollution) at the start.
2.
And to be
fair, WCI should auction – not give away—pollution permits.
3.
We also need
real reductions in pollution, rather than too many emission “offsets” that
delay action to clean up our biggest sources of pollution and don’t always
deliver the climate benefits they promise.
3.
Call the legislative hotline and let state
legislators know this issue matters to you:
4.
Call
1-800-562-6000 and be sure to state your name, your address and, if you know
their names, your legislators.
5.
Write a note on your check or with your donation that
climate and green jobs are important issues to you.

Thanks to Larry Lange for his coverage of Access
drivers and their union’s protest against the cut in their jobs and salaries by
Metro (Au. 13) Whenever I ride the bus,
I observe drivers doing their jobs efficiently and responsibly. Elderly and disabled riders who use Access
even more so need drivers who have the skill and training to ensure they have a
safe and comfortable ride.
Nonunion jobs that are contracted out are mostly
lower-paid and allow less training than jobs protected by labor
organizations. King County Management
should not break the Access drivers’ union.
Hard-working Access operators and their vulnerable passagers should not
get the short end of the stick. It is disingenuous
of Kevin Desmond, Metro general manager, to say that this is not a
union-busting action. Shame on him.
Joe Martin:
Published by
Hats off to the P-I and its unequivocal
call for organizing this nation's "government health care into a
single-payer system, one that covers all Americans." Such an overhaul of
our abysmally convoluted and unjust medical network is long overdue.
Not only is the current way of doings
things often confusing and cost-prohibitive from the perspective of millions of
citizens in need, our cumbrous system itself is grossly inefficient in the
delivery of care.
Emergency rooms throughout the country
too often serve as primary care facilities to which desperately ill people
flock. Many of these individuals are citizens who have avoided medical care,
not because they are shy of physicians, but because they understandably feared
the financial consequences of visiting a clinic or a hospital. It is a
ridiculous and inhumane situation that can be largely blamed on the pervasive
social and institutional shortcomings of for-profit medicine.
Health care and other critical domestic issues related
to public education, affordable housing, and full employment must become the
prime focus of any new presidential administration. The warped dreams of global
empire that have driven federal priorities over the last eight years have
wrought nothing but more chaos and social dislocation here at home. The time is
now to get our domestic house in order. The creation of a just and accessible
system of health care available to all Americans is a very good place to
start. Joe Martin
Liberals and Democrats
Why Do 20% Still Support Bush?
9/11 not prevented.
Why Do 20% Still Support Bush? Ideology must have
blinded them to these realities. They
imagine a county that never existed or can exist. Their imagined country is certainly counter
to our country’s history.
Our Barack Obama – Joe Biden Team
Vice Presidents serve three roles. (1) They help campaign to elect the
president. (2) If elected, they assume
such responsibilities as the president delegates. (3) If necessary, they replace an
incapacitated president. The latter may
be the most important responsibility.
Thus presidential candidates always express that their vice presidential
choice is well qualified to be president, even when this is obviously not so.
Joe Biden’s performance during his six terms as
Senator shows that he is well qualified to be president. For more. If he keeps on message, he can be an
excellent campaigner, expressing our Liberal Values and castigating John McCain
for following President Bush in obstructing them. He can competently address both domestic and
foreign issues. In spite of being a
consummate
Barack Obama’s rivals and our commercial media
pundits have often indicated that Obama lacks necessary experience, especially
in foreign policy. Note that Obama has
more experience with government and foreign policy than did Jimmy Carter,
Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. Obama has enough experience to have good
judgment that is lacking in many who have much longer experience, including
John McCain.
Many experienced legislators have a cold war
mindset which is the opposite of what we need as many nations are developing
democratically and economically to share in influencing our global events. Many experienced legislators are caught up in
our Old Politics of their party right or wrong.
Of putting partisan advantage before serving our country. I am hopeful that Joe Biden will fully
embrace our new politics and a cooperative approach to dealing with world
events.
Barack Obama has repeatedly said that he wants to
choose members of his administration who can correct him when he is wrong. I believe that Joe Biden will not be a yes
man. And there will be many other voices
in Obama’s administration which will also claim attention. And hopefully, Obama’s administration will be
open to ideas stemming from state and municipal officials and our grass roots.
I supported John Edwards before changing my support
to Barack Obama. Joe Biden was not among
my top choices for vice president. As I
have learned more about Biden, I have become more impressed. I now believe he was a wise choice. I support him. No
Liberal can refuse to vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden against John McCain. With Biden’s 35 years as a Senator, I will still
watch to see how consistently Liberal he will be and whether he can embrace our
New Politics. For
more. For
more. For
more. For
more. For
more. For
more. For
more.
Barack Obama’s Acceptance Speech
Our Democratic Convention has been an updated
socially responsible Woodstock II, culminating in Barack Obama’s acceptance
speech. Even the commercial media
pundits have recognized that it was a blowout, setting an impossible bar for
next week’s Republican Convention.
Barack Obama stressed our Liberal values. He pointed out how the Bush Administration
with John McCain’s complicity has obstructed them. He noted that McCain doesn’t understand our
lives, our economy and our foreign threats.
He specified changes he would make.
He emphasized that this election is about us. About our ability to hope and work together
to make the changes that realize our American Dream once again. He defined the playing field and left little
room for Republican surprise attacks.
Barack Obama accepted the nomination with “profound
gratitude and humility”. He thanked
Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Joe Biden and Michelle Obama. He described our American Dream which enabled
his success. These values are now in
danger, due to the “broken politics in
John McCain has supported Bush’s policies 90% of
the time. He says our economy is
fine. His proposals show that he doesn’t
understand what’s going on in the lives of Americans. McCain cares for
“… each of us has the freedom to make of our own lives
what we will, but that we also have the obligation to treat each other with
dignity and respect. It's a promise that says the market should reward drive
and innovation and generate growth, but that businesses should live up to their
responsibilities to create American jobs, look out for American workers, and
play by the rules of the road.
Ours is a promise that says government cannot solve all our problems, but what
it should do is that which we cannot do for ourselves - protect us from harm
and provide every child a decent education; keep our water clean and our toys
safe; invest in new schools and new roads and new science and technology. Our
government should work for us, not against us. It should help us, not
hurt us. It should ensure opportunity not just for those with the most
money and influence, but for every American who's willing to work.
That's the promise of
Barack Obama described the changes he would make to
reward job creation and working families, to end oil dependence, to provide
everyone quality education and health care, to our bankruptcy laws, to protect
Social Security. He described how he
would pay for these plans. But it will
take more than money. It will take more
of us assuming our family and other responsibilities.
Lacking needed judgment and temperament, John
McCain has been wrong again and again on foreign policy. Obama described his policies of rebuilding
our cooperative relations with other countries to protect
Change will not be easy. We will have to replace our old ideas. We will have to listen to each other and
arrive at new solutions to problems that have divided us: Abortion. Gun ownership. Same-sex marriage. Immigration.
Instead of cynicism, this election is producing change from the bottom
up. It is about you, your American
spirit, your common dreams. We can not
turn back. We must work together.
Our Democratic Party
Convention
Our
Democratic Party Convention serves at least two purposes. It enables us to show all Americans (and the
world) the things we believe in, the obstruction of these by our Republican rivals.
Our solutions and our leaders. It also
enables many of us who have worked so hard to strengthen our Democratic Party
to come together, reflect upon, learn from and celebrate our shared struggle.
Just
as I did four years ago, I love our Democratic Party Convention. It’s participants reflect the diversity of
our Americans. It’s speeches reflect our
American Ideals. It’s celebrations show
our happy warriors. I find it hard to
believe that any American can avoid the attractions of our Conventions.
But
the reality is that many Americans ignore our Convention. And others do not find it attractive. How can this be? Many of them are unhappy with our
diversity. Our different races, genders,
spiritual and religious values, sexual preferences, and more. Many don’t believe that
They
are also hypocritical. They don’t just
believe in rewarding the winners in fair competition. They are willing to let people and
organizations cheat. Abuse others. Obtain benefits they didn’t earn and don’t
deserve.
We
must hope that our Democratic Party Convention appeals to the many who share
our American Liberal values. We must
hope it stimulates them to vote for Democrats for our national, state and local
positions. Beyond that, we must hope it
stimulates those who don’t share our Liberal understanding of American
community to change their mind. Let’s
hope that they realize that they can benefit from working together instead of alone. Let’s hope that they realize it’s more fun to
be happy warriors than the whiney victims which will be showcased next week at
the Republican Convention.
Democrats Have an Abundance of Leaders
Look at who spoke at our Democratic Convention: Evan
Bayh, Joe Biden, Jimmy Carter, Maria Cantwell, Bob Casey, Bill Clinton, Hillary
Clinton, James Clyburn, Tom Daschle, Rahm Emanuel, Al Gore, Steny Hoyer, Jesse
Jackson Jr, John Kerry, Patrick Leahy, Claire McCaskill, Janet Napolitano,
Barack Obama, David Paterson, Deval Patrick, Nancy Pelosi, Federico Pena, Harry
Reid, Ed Rendell, Bill Richardson, Jay Rockefeller, Brian Schweitzer, Kathleen
Sebelius, Ted Strickland, Laura Tyson, Mark Warner, and many more.
Now think of our other present and past Senators,
Congressmembers, Governors, Mayors and officials from past Democratic
administrations. Our Republican rivals
have many fewer leaders with good reputations.
Hopefully this fall, we will further increase the number of our leaders
while decreasing the number of Republican leaders.
Can We Win Enough Senate Races to Total 60

We have a chance to win 3 more Senate races:
Attack Ads by both Obama and McCain
As usual, Republicans are spending more time and
effort attacking our candidate Barack Obama than presenting the views of their
candidate John McCain. It is difficult
for them to present John McCain’s views because the ones which appeal to their
Conservative base are negatively received by our broader voting public. And vice versa.
But Barack Obama does not offer a very clear
target. Unlike most other candidates,
Obama has not focused the attention of the campaign on himself. His focus has been upon our voting
public. He has often repeated that
needed changes come from the bottom up and not from the top down. It is difficult for the Republicans to attack
urgently needed change. To attack hope. To attack our general public.
In addition, our Democrats are also on the
offense. They quickly defend Obama from
Conservative attacks, then move on to attack John McCain. Much more than Democratic candidates since
Lyndon Johnson, the Obama campaign is attacking John McCain’s proposals and his
record. Republicans are forced to defend
McCain, but often can’t do so successfully.
It is obvious that Bush’s policies have
failed. It is obvious that McCain has
supported many of Bush’s policies and has recently reversed any previous
opposition he had to them. It is obvious
that on foreign policy, McCain is extending Bush’s foreign policy, even as the
Bush administration is tending toward Obama’s positions. It is obvious that on domestic policy, McCain
wants to continue Bush’s policies.
Most of the attacks by both sides have been focused
upon the views and behaviors of the candidates based upon at least some
evidence. Unfortunately, our commercial
media pundits thrive upon making molehills into mountains. Thus we hear endless discussions of slight
nuances, which distract us from understanding the different visions that Barack
Obama and John McCain have for
Building the
New Democratic Party
Beginning with John
Kennedy, Democratic Presidential Candidates have generally run campaigns
independently from the Democratic Party Organization. While they maintained better control over
their campaigns, they weakened the Democratic Party Organization. Following Jimmy Carter’s presidency, our
Republicans gained control of the Senate and made significant gains in the
house. Following Bill Clinton’s
presidency, our Republicans gained control of both the senate and the
house.
Our Barack Obama
campaign is different. It has integrated
with the Democratic Party Organization and strengthened it. It is running a 50 state campaign, oriented
to winning national, state and local races.
This will help elect Democrats now and in the future. It will help Democrats to cooperate to pass
needed legislation to reclaim our American Dream. For more.
