Senator John Kerry writes,
I had to forward this because some things just can't be allowed to stand in American politics - you have to do more than respond - you have to make the opposition pay for peddling the kind of malarkey that does our country a disservice. I just got this email from my friend Barbara Boxer in California. She's under attack for telling the truth: that climate change is a national security issue. Her opponent - how predictable! - says Barbara is "worried about the weather."
Just last week, you probably remember me fighting this fight with some guy from a conservative "think tank." Now Barbara is fighting it with her Republican opponent, Carly Fiorina. But Carly isn't just disagreeing with Barbara - she's mocking the words and findings of the Pentagon, the CIA, analysts in the Bush Administration, generals like Anthony Zinni, Admirals like William Fallon, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and, oh, gee, literally hundreds of other national security experts.
Stand up for the truth and hit back in a way that counts: You can click below to give to Barbara's campaign to help her fight back, and you can click here to help us at
http://www.truthfightsback.com/pages/donate fight back for the truth everywhere we can.
We're sending $1 billion a day overseas to feed our oil addiction, repressive states like Iran are using the oil income to fund their schemes, climate change threatens the stability of nations around the globe, and folks like Carly Fiorina talk about the weather. Stand up for a Senate that stands for the truth and debates real issues.
Generals and Admirals stand with Barbara. A bunch of Republican one-line writers stand with Carly. Who are you gonna stand with?
Thanks,
John Kerry
