3. the environment should transcend politics

The future of our planet is at stake.
Since 1980 (when Reagan became president, and appointed the outrageous, and hyper-partisan, anti-environment James Watt as Secretary of Interior), the Republicans have made this a partisan issue. This is a disgrace, and, because of the urgency of the issue, the continuing obstruction of environmental measures by Republicans is actually a danger to national security, not to mention a danger the planet; and it's reason enough to work like hell to make sure that Obama stays in the White House and that the Dems can strengthen their control of the Senate, and take back the House.
