Due to overbooking, I won’t be able to make the hoopla happening in front of the Kodak Theatre in conjunction with the CNN Democratic Debate today. I won’t even be able to make the Westside Extension meeting about the Subway to the Sea (though I plan to go to a later one).
But in case your sched’s free and clear today, here’s a couple events you’ll be interested in:
Put the heat on the media to ask presidential candidates about global warming. The California League of Conservation Voters says the “most-watched reporters” are not asking presidential candidates about global warming issues: “Since January 2007, they have asked presidential candidates a total of 2,938 questions. Just 6 of those questions mentioned global warming.” Thus, they’re rallying about it in front of the Kodak Theater, starting at 2:30 pm.
Get presidential candidates to make parks a campaign issue by supporting Teddy Mather — a.k.a. a costumed bear — for the presidency. The National Parks Conservation Association will be demonstrating in front of the Kodak Theatre today starting at 4 pm. You can greet the bear and sign NPCA’s petition.

Voters still don’t seem to care about climate change. So sad. Even sadder is that, with Edwards out of the race, not a single candidate has an informed, mature view, let alone plan, to tackle climate change. No, they’re all going to work with big corps to find a ‘painless path’ which we know doesnt exist.
Here’s to hoping Nader jumps in, otherwise I won’t be able to vote.
