Intentional duplicate. Please pass this message as quicly and widely as possible to your families, relatives, friends, associates and online groups.   Thank you.    (Intro and ending - JR's "Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'")   Draft Global Warming Millions March to Congress   Speech on September 11, 2008   Honorable Al Gore. Senators and Congressmen. My countrymen.  Ladies and gentlemen. My name is Jess Ragaza. I am a writer whose book's web site http://livinggracefully.com/ is replete with my passionate essays and appeals about the Global Warming. I typically go around nondescript. But if you enter my name on any web browser at the space reserved for the URL , " J e s s  R a g a z a" you will immediately (i.e., within split second) get links to thousands of my writings. So yours truly is very well known in cyberspace.   Our premise:     1. Climate Crisis, which has been generally accepted by scientists the world over to result in massive extinctions of life on earth, has not been dealt with seriously by the U.S. Congress.   2. Therefore, we decide to have a groundswell of people from these United States, to march to Washington D.C. on Thursday, September 11, 2008.   3. We are part of a huge NEURAL SYSTEM.  Hence each of us, whether individuals or groups, is totally independent from the rest. As such the functions and objective of the system will continue whether or not portions of the system are present.   4. This is an absolutely peaceful march with various entertainers* roving around from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument to Congress.   5. We do not negotiate. We, the people, come from a position of strength. We have the power to remove them. We will have all of our banners and other means to communicate publicly and explicitly the words "Slow Down Global Warming Now!" This is for FOCUS. Many other rallies fail because many groups have their own agenda. To repeat - Let us stay focused and just say "Slow Down Global Warming Now!" Leave the negotiating to Congress among themselves during their normal deliberation.   6. We will have this encore massive serene assembly of people on Thursday, September 11, 2008. The previous one on September 11, 2004 has been extremely peaceful and quite enjoyable although a little bit warm and has resulted in the changeover of Congress to Democratic control. Only a few of us in the inner circle of cyberspace knew before and we all know now.   7. We will pass this message as widely and as expeditiously as possible by any means.       Our rationale:   Letters to our Congressional representatives did not work.   The meetups and supposedly lobbying did not work.   The many online groups did not work.   The DNC, the RNC and MoveOn and other political organizations did not seem to care much about it, or probably confused as to what to do!   Million marches have worked successfully before. For instance click Reflections: 2008 and 2004 Millions March to Congress http://livinggracefully.com/Global_Warming/reflections.htm where I have written my vision and actually what happened in the extremely successful 2004 which we now know was responsible for the makeover of Congress to major Democratic controlled making Bush a lame duck. vis-à-vis my undoubted hope for 2008.   This kind of phenomenon starts to pick up rather slowly then increases practically exponentially (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ExponentiallyIncreasingFunction.html), I should know being a mathematician.   Our constitution's first amendment (http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.billofrights.html#amendmenti) guarantees us this right of free speech, especially in peaceful public assemblies.   With electronic networking, one can reach millions in a matter of days.   The media and the press (CNN, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times among others) have been notified.   Since practically all of those who would be fervent enough to attend are legitimate voters and because they consist of a huge sample size - statistically an exceedingly good sample of our voting population, our Congress people better listen and do something quick, else they will be out of the offices we trusted them for!   Our procedure: 1. Conceal all of your protest paraphernalia which are really nothing much than your shirts/dress, banners, etc. until the proper time around 1:30 P.M. today. Use GREEN because "It is associated with Growth and Life" I hope you brought your GREEN umbrellas, raincoats, ponchos, etc. in case it rains.   2. Advise all formally organized groups to cooperate to make this a huge success. Else, they may as well not participate. The least we need right now are formally organized groups that will only attract the Bushie's SS.   3.   We may be on national television as well since many of the larger ones have been notified. This is even better because our message and peaceful assembly will be instantaneously transmitted and reverberate not only here in the U.S., but most likely throughout the world. So again exercise discipline and restraint. You will be memorialized. You will be remembered. You will be admired. You will be honored   4.   Our civil disobedience will be peaceful and enjoyable, a simple stroll in the park with many families and their children. So advise everybody to be calm. We do not want the Bush' Gestapo to be on our backs.   5. At exactly 1:30 P.M., no more signals, let us all change to our GREEN colored clothing and/or put out our banners and other forms of protests.     Note: To enable us to have this massive assembly without a permit we should not show any sign of formal organization. As a matter of fact, we don't. We are all simply enjoying the park and the roving entertainers.       The word is FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS   only one objective:   "Save Mother Earth: Approve strong legislations to slow down the climate crisis"       Part of our humanitarian undertaking is to help the hurricane victims, such as Katrina. As a matter of fact many scientists agree that these devastations are manifestations of Global Warming.:  Please Donate to Global Warming Millions March (http://livinggracefully.com/please_donate_now.htm)   You may also trust your contributions directly with our Coordinators:   Welcome My Cousins and Other True Friends to Provide Us With Additional National Coordination Welcome to my Family, Relatives, Friends and Compatriots Welcome our New Strategic Fortification ! Welcome Our Additional National Coordinators   *          Also kindly give generously to our entertainers. Hopefully they will get sufficient enough to cover their expenses and share the extra with the Global Warming Millions March.     Here are some radically strong ideas we can bring to congress to pass:   1. Form an International Consortium to take over the European ITER program (a)  with the intent of accelerating the development of nuclear fusion (in contrast with "fission" with many of our nuclear power plants) reactor for power plants; with the first power plant targeted within nine years, i.e. 2016 at the latest not 2035 as per the current program's target (remember Dr. Hanson's warning in many of my current messages – we only have a decade!)  (a) see Nuclear Fusion Research as shown on youtube   http://livinggracefully.com/Global_Warming/nuclear_fusion_research_as_shown.htm   2. Invest our social security in renewable, alternative energy industry. This sector consists of companies that are now engaged in the research, development and actual implementation of renewable, sustainable alternative energy (e.g., biomass, solar, wind, geothermal, nuclear (mining and processing U235 for our fission reactors), etc.). My well documented exceptional success in my investment undertaking proves that this is a very safe haven for retirement funds( b).  (b) check for instance Special Alert February 6, 2008 Our no secret portfolio that is again up today simply ignores the market direction!  http://livinggracefully.com/Financial_Newsletter/special_alert_february_6_2008.htm   3. Mandate automakers to produce cars, vans and trucks with much higher mileage, the requirement for all cars in the order of at least 100 miles/gallon. This is feasible because some hybrid experimental technology has test cars that already exceed (c) this requirement. (c) Auto X Prize announces the teams competing to build 100-mpg car http://blogs.consumerreports.org/cars/2007/08/100-mpg-car.html   4. Require construction of new buildings( d) to get certification for heat and air-conditioning efficiency as well as use of renewable, alternative energy such as solar, wind, etc. (d) My friend, gave us his insight in An Open Letter from a friend, Dr. Robert Sczech of the Rutgers University Newark Department of Mathematics (a true environmentalist in deed!) http://livinggracefully.com/Global_Warming/an_open_letter_from_a_friend.htm Dr. Steve Chu,1997 Nobel laureate Physics; Director, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; UC Berkeley Professor of Physics and of Molecular and Cell Biology totally agrees, for example with the trading on carbon as a way to force a lifestyle change worldwide - click Radically Innovative Approaches to Solving the Climate Crisis http://livinggracefully.com/Global_Warming/radically_innovative_approaches.htm     I am extremely hopeful about the positive outcome of this Millions March. As I have once written Humanity Will Survive Global Warming http://livinggracefully.com/Global_Warming/humanity_will_survive_global_warming.htm. Looking at your now from Lincoln Memorial to Washington Monument to Congress, I am more hopeful that our Millions March today will result in much stronger legislation to slow down Global Warming. Enjoy your day here in the center of our United States with your families, relatives, friends and associates. Please give generously to our roving musicians. Thank you very much for participating with us today. My name again is Jess Ragaza.    (Intro and ending - JR's "Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'")< /o:p></ o:p> & lt; /FONT></ FONT>
