Please, please wait till September for your slide show/party! we don't want to miss it and we'll be back east from mid August till the day before school starts. We are sad Solomon isn't coming back to Chavez. Daniel will miss him and who will I talk to after school while trying to drag Daniel away? I suppose there's no chance of a change of heart on that?
We will wait until Sept. No, no chance of a change although I will really miss dropping whatever I am doing, rushing to pick Solomon up from school, and then sitting around for two hours while he plays with his friends! How about you just come over and hang out at my house? Have fun back East. L, D
Here's the petition we're bringing to Congress. It's not a clean copy, but it'll work. Print it up, gather signatures, and send it to: J. Oman, 8594 Faber Rd., Faber, VA 22938.
Petition For Cooling Our Planet
WHEREAS: The single greatest challenge human beings face is imminent climate change caused by the increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide brought on in large part through the burning of fossil fuels. WHEREAS: The United States of America has 5% of the world's population but is the single largest contributor of carbon dioxide at 25%. WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, REQUEST AND URGE:
President Bush, the United States Congress, state governments, local communities, and individual Americans to significantly reduce our country's carbon dioxide emissions by:
1. Dedicating the necessary resources to become the world leader in non-fossil fuel energy production and technology.
2. Adopting conservation as the first energy solution.
3. Raising automobile mileage standards to a minimum of 40 MPG.
4. Building transportation systems that double current mass transit trips.
5. Encouraging biking and walking as means of transportation.
6. Planting 1 billion trees.
