What is the next in this series?

13,000... 2010 comments on the draft SGEIS (on fracking)

67,000... 2012 comments on the revised draft SGEIS

204,000... 2013 comments on the fracking regs

400,000.... 2014 People's Climate March

Could it be, oh... just throwing out a guess...

1.5 Million?

It will ONLY take 1..5 million votes

in a 3 way race to WIN the NY Gubernatorial Election.

For reference,
here's the graph of 400,000 years
of climate data:

So let's image that we are in a SERIOUS CLIMATE CRISIS moment.

But let's say we have this AMAZING and MASSIVE
popular movement in response!

And let's also say we have a BALLOT LINE with an amazing
and popular candidate who represents our values.

Friends, 13,000 was a MIRACLE in 2010.
NO ONE EXPECTED 67,000-- a BIGGER miracle in 2012!
BUT THEN, 204,000 WAS A BIGGER MIRACLE!
... and then!! 400,000 was an even bigger miracle in 2014!

Do you think we can GET OUT THE VOTE and rally 1.5 million people
to the polls on Nov 4, 2014 given we only have 3 weeks?

I DID NOT SAY THE NAME of any candidate in this email.

I'm just saying: IMAGINE IT!

1.5 Million People in 3 weeks is
TOTALLY POSSIBLE!

We have the Internet and we have
Telephones and OUR LEGS!

Friends they DO NOT HAVE a progressive
anti-fracking candidate in Pennsylvania.

They have a) FRACK HARD,
vs. b) FRACK GENTLY.

Voters in PA might as well STAY HOME.

In New York: WE DO!!

Are we going to let this opportunity pass us by?

If we are to get 1.5 million people
we need BOLD, SWIFT ACTION!

We need to
GET BUSY!!!
