Friend -- When it comes to fighting climate change, the single biggest obstacle we face isn't scientific or economic. It's political. Right now, in Congress and across the country, too many of our elected officials still publicly deny the science of climate change. That needs to change. You're part of an important team with OFA, with a mission of holding climate change deniers' feet to the fire. OFA put together a site highlighting deniers across the country, and the impact of climate change on your state. Every year, the effects of climate change are felt in more of our communities -- consider the consequences of extreme weather like historic droughts and record-breaking storms. It jeopardizes the future we'll leave for our children. This shouldn't be a controversial opinion. We need to listen to our friends at NASA and the 97 percent of climate scientists who agree that climate change is real, man-made, and happening right now. Now is the time for serious action, not excuses or outright denial. But that requires lawmakers all across the country to face the facts and work together to find smart, science-based solutions. You can help us get a little closer to that goal today: http://my.barackobama.com/Learn-About-Climate-Change-Deniers Thank you for doing your part to make progress possible -- I couldn't do any of it without you.
