     Dear Dr Andrew, September 27, 2007 

            Just moments ago, 50 activists, including Greenpeace USA Executive Director John Passacantando, were arrested in front of the State Department building for participating in a global warming protest. 

            The activists were protesting outside President Bush's summit of the world's largest global warming polluters - a meeting Bush called under the guise of appearing concerned about global warming even though he has refused to endorse mandatory emissions cuts and targets. 

            This protest marks the greatest number of activists getting arrested in the name of global warming. But even if you couldn't be with us for today's protests, you can still take a stand in the fight against global warming. 

            TAKE ACTION NOW!

            We know Bush won't take a stand on global warming, so it's up to Members of Congress, and they must act fast. Add your voice to the growing movement to combat global warming. Write to Congress, join our Project Hot Seat campaign, and stay tuned for upcoming activities you'll be able to participate in from your own hometown. 

            I'll be in touch soon to let you know about other ways you can help stop global warming. 

            For the Planet,
