Vote Blue to Protect Mother Earth

North Carolina picking up the pieces after disaster.

Downed trees, power lines across 4 states

680,000 without power in Georgia

Nearly 1 million South Carolina homes and businesses in the dark as of early Sunday

 

Headlines for many months/years to come?

What will it take?

 

In Washington, D.C., Republicans fight tooth and nail against anything that will ward off the impacts of climate change, including voting AGAINST the Inflation Reduction Act.

 

In Madison, Wisconsin they make sure it’s more difficult than ever to discuss the problem, blocking bill after bill that would protect our water, air and land. (Knowles Stewardship Act, pfas in our drinking water, factory farm pollution).

 

On the other side of the aisle, Democrats have made climate policy a focus of their campaigns, with Vice President Kamala Harris supporting net-zero greenhouse emissions by 2050 and a host of other smart policies to protect our planet. This goes for state candidates as well – Sen. Tammy Baldwin is a leader on this front, as is John Zarbano, running against Glenn Grothmann in the House of Representatives.

 

The stakes of the election are clear, at least to this fan of Mother Earth. To protect our planet from the terrible effects of climate change and educate our constituency to do the same, vote blue.
