For those people located in Maryland, I thought I'd share
this info that I just got from The Chesapeake Climate
Action Network (http://www.chesapeakeclimate.org/).

The "Global Warming Solutions Act" bill suddenly has a
chance to pass now in Maryland thanks to skyrocketing
concerns about the collapsing global climate. The bill
would make our state just the second in America - behind
California - to mandate huge, statutory reductions in
greenhouse gases by 2020 using a ?cap and trade? system for
carbon dioxide. We need at least 100 committed citizens
from across the state to join an emergency grassroots
campaign over the next six weeks to push the bill through.

Here's what will happen on the call: Senator Pinsky,
Delegate Barve, and Mike Tidwell will open by explaining
the bill's historic significance and outlining the
political strategy for getting it through both the MD
Senate and House and on to the governor. Josh Tulkin and
Claire Douglass of the CCAN staff will then explain the
proposed emergency grassroots campaign and answer any
questions you may have. We hope to keep the call to one
hour, with follow up by email.
