This is the origianl ALERT:
JUNE 5, 2008 --Immediate Action Needed!
THIS IS IT -- make your voice heard in support of global warming legislation
The BoXER-lieberman-warner climate security act
It all comes down to a vote Friday, June 6th. Republicans have filibustered the debate on the Climate Security Act and effectively blocked the introduction of strengthening amendments. So in order to move forward, Majority Leader Reid will move to end the filibuster.
This is THE VOTE! We need Senators to vote to end the filibuster and move the debate forward on the Climate Security Act. If we do not get the 60 votes needed tomorrow, the bill is effectively dead until further notice. If we do get the votes needed tomorrow, debate can continue, amendments may be added, and the bill may ultimately get a fair vote. But we need to get this vote tomorrow first.
The message to Senators:
“Vote to end the filibuster and move the debate forward on the Climate Security Act.”
Senator Max Baucus: 202-224-2651
Senator Jon Tester: 202-224-2644

BACKGROUND INFORMATION : The Climate Security Act has a new number - S. 3036. Senator Boxer made significant changes -- mostly positive ones - to the original Lieberman-Warner bill so some are calling this the "Boxer Amendment" -- it is still the same "Climate Security Act".
