Since the beginning of this campaign, Environmentalists have been excited by Barack’s candidacy. His record on consistently protecting the environment is undeniable. Here is what environmentalists, from the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters, are saying about why they’re supporting Barack:
Brett H. from Madison, Wisconsin:
I support Barack Obama for president because he is the only candidate with an inspiring and effective national energy policy that will save us money at the pump, bring us more efficient vehicles and appliances, more clean renewable energy, and clean up old coal plants. He is a the real champion to reduce global warming and will work with local governments on practical solutions, not just supporting drilling more sensitive coast lines and wildlife refuges. I also appreciate his judgment to chose a running mate show shares his values and mine.
Mark H:
I would argue that climate change is the single largest issue for the environment and wildlife. Barack has been the most consistent in expressing the need for a new energy policy and combating global warming. He supports a cap and trade program that will put us on the right path to solving this crisis. I'm confident, as president he will stand up for wildlife and the environment in a bipartisan way and will do more for our cause than any other candidate.
Luke K. from Anchorage, Alaska:
I’m voting for Barack Obama. His vision is evident in his energy policy: I cannot wait for the day when our nation’s energy will come from clean, renewable sources and the kind of revitalization that will provide for our economy, as opposed to having to endure four more years of drilling policies that create more problems than they solve. As an avid sportsmen and backpacker, I’m also concerned for our public lands and wildlife. His commitment to these public resources is unquestioned and is one that recognizes the balancing act between conservation, recreation, and economic development, a balance that has been lacking over the last eight years and one that we can’t afford to lose for four more years.
Jack, Chicago:
Barack realized that protecting the environment wasn't just the right thing to do, it was crucial. We are constantly told by the world's leading scientists that we have as little as ten years to drastically change the way we use energy before it becomes irreversible. I think to have a leader of that unique potential has not come across in my lifetime and I don't know when it will again.
With less than a week to go until Election Day, we need to do all we can to help elect Barack. Get involved today.
