Letter to the Editor: Support Obama on Climate Change Legislation

The Obama administration can stop global warming.

(SALEM, Ore.) - To the Editor: Concerned citizens like myself are making a stand against the idea the corporate profits should trump our responsibility to leave our planet cleaner than we found it.

The Obama administration must stand firm against corporate-driven efforts to weaken and defeat climate change legislation. Big Oil is already mobilizing to manufacture fake 'opposition movements' which are designed to look like concerned citizens opposed to higher taxes and corporate regulation.

These movements will look very much like the 'private citizens' opposed to health care reform efforts at town hall meetings. They will scream and try to drown out rational discussion on the issues by decrying regulating greenhouse gas emissions as 'socialist' or 'facist'.

They will compare Obama to Hitler for trying to save our planet for future generations.

I urge President Obama and Congressional Democrats not to not be taken in by these scare tactics, and to stand firm to lead the world this December at the International Climate Negotiations in Copenhagen.

Kennedy put a man on the moon. The Obama administration can stop global warming. Sincerely,
Geoff Guillory
Salem, OR

by the way...I researched your "scientific polls" and found nothing. Could you elaborate?, cause they just are not there. I will be waiting. And as mentioned, relax a bit, life is short.

Continuing post, because I think there is a word count limit here. I want nothing to do with fox news, nor any of the mainstream media. They are all bought and paid for. We dont care about the color of skin etc. I explained that very clearly in my post, by mentioning the conservatives also. This is exactly the point of the false left/right paradigm, keep them fighting, so that they cant see the truth. By the way, when bush was president, I advocated against his wars. obama ran his campaign on being anti war. He won, then expanded the wars. And now? Anyone anti-war is un-patriotic. What the heck happened? Re-read your post. See the anger? This is what I am talking about. Easy on the swear words too, this is a family newspaper.

If you do some actual research on town hall meetings, it is not set up by big oil. It is the average Joe, both democrat and republican who are upset. Obama's popularity has dropped more than any president ever, in a short 8 months. Did big oil do that too? I strongly urge you to stop watching so much corporate owned liberal media. I give the same advice to those who watch corporate owned conservative media.
More and more people are finally beginning to see past the lies of both parties. 60% now say that the entire congress and senate should be replaced. People are tired of having legislation being written by corporate lobbyists. I am beginning to see the revival of support for a third party.

Editor: Are you delusional?  President Obama is very well accepted and if you look at accurate or scientific polls you will discover that.  You characters convinced yourselves that FOX News has some type of credibility and they are nothing but a GOP propaganda machine, sort of like you.  Big oil is absolutely behind your tea parties and so is the NRA, and all of the big corporations that are scared to death of actually having to be honest and pay their fair share as Americans.  I see your tea parties as small and isolated groups of intimidating people who don't like to pay their taxes and don't like the idea of having a black President.  Personally, it is so damned fresh to me still that I haven't really had time to consider the overall aspects of how Obama is performing, because it is too damned soon.  I think of how little play bush got as the borderline Nazi that he is, then consider the Obama/Hitler correlations and I just laugh and laugh.  What your group does, we even let bush slide on.  People had enough damned respect to know they had to endure that man's terms and now you have to endure Obama.  He is not falling in the polls, that is simply fabricated. You know, as an American you are supposed to be true.  I sense that many people of your political persuasion might disagree with that.  Love it or leave it man, love it or leave it...
