Here is the email that was sent to the list today. In it I asked Democrats to throw their support behind Al Gore's Live Earth Pledge:
Dear Democrat,Read More »
A hundred years from now, school children will read about Al Gore and his leadership to address global climate change. No one has worked harder or inspired more Americans to tackle the greatest threat the world has ever faced.
Now it's time to add your name to the history books.
Stand with Al and pledge to live a life that will protect our environment for generations to come: Link
Last Saturday, thousands of Democrats planted seeds for a cleaner planet at events across the country. We had a great weekend, rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty -- but there's even more we can do clean up the planet.
"America is addicted to oil." These were the words of President Bush 18 months ago. Since then, he and the 2008 Republican presidential hopefuls have paid nothing but lip service to the issue of global warming. Just days prior to the summit announcement, the White House rejected a G8 climate change agreement. Romney, McCain, Tancredo, and Brownback have all opposed strict fuel efficiency standards. McCain has opposed renewable energy standards. And Giuliani is avoiding the issue altogether. As long as Big Oil keeps Republicans flush with cash, they will continue to harm our efforts to stop global warming. Let's elect a Democratic president in 2008 and get serious about climate change.

Who will finally sign the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act? Not President Bush, and none of the 2008 Republican presidential candidates, that's for sure. Their refusal to sign even stands in opposition to the 60 percent of Republicans who support expanded protection of the LGBT community's civil rights. Does Matthew Shepard ring a bell? He may be the most publicized victim of a hate crime based on sexual orientation, but similar cases abound everyday -- and they deserve to be taken seriously. Hate affects everyone. Donate to the Democratic Party and help us reject hate today.

The Justice Department under President Bush, Attorney General Gonzales, and other administration officials has become a breeding ground for injustice. Voter discrimination against minority groups in Minnesota and Florida and Gonzales' political purging of eight prosecutors are only a few of the administration's wrongdoings. Enough is enough. Democrats in Congress have demanded accountability from the Bush administration and have fought for real improvements in issues ranging from the minimum wage to prescription drugs to protecting civil liberties. Please donate now and help us take back the White House and Justice Department in 2008.
