I am glad that people in our space are waking up and starting to shift the message.

Global Warming was a poor choice of words, the minute you have a few blizzards in the North East during winter everyone wonders why they can’t get a tan in January. As Stephen Colbert said this is basic “peekaboology” — the thing happening right now is the only thing happening.

Climate Change … this was a step in a better direction, I think we can all see the crazy weather patterns over the past few years but this can be dismissed.

People want to know how it matters to them.
- More Jobs In US, if we don’t get ahead someone else will.
- Less Dependency on foreign oil – funding anti american countries
- Hopefully more money in your pocket with reduced costs for energy

Democrats all need to get on the same talking points non stop, there is no concerted effort on this its fragmented. They could all stand to take a basic marketing 101 class.

Dump all the oil subsidies and redirect the money to clean energy projects.
