WHAT PRES OBAMA HAD TO SAY ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE IN HIS INAUGURAL SPEECH TODAY 21JAN13

350.ORG is planning an environmental protest march on 17FEB13 in D.C. to pressure Pres Obama to keep his word on addressing the issue of climate change. We all know the way to get this President to keep his word is to keep up the pressure on him. Don't think big oil, gas, coal and nuclear power lobbyist aren't already working on his administration because they are. We, the people, having suffered through last years devastating Spring tornadoes, Summers wildfires and drought and Hurricane Sandy know the government has the power and the authority to take action to address the root cause of climate change, we just have to force this administration to do it. So if you want to stop the destructive keystone xl pipeline and end government subsidies of dirty fuel and promote an economic recovery powered by renewable, cleaner energy sources consider joining 350.org and attending this protest.

With words like that, it's easy to let ourselves dream that something major might be about to happen to fix the biggest problem the world has ever faced.

But we know that even if the President is sincere in every syllable, he's going to need lots of backup to help him get his point across in a city dominated by fossil fuel interests. And, given the record of the last four years, we know that too often rhetoric has yielded little in the way of results.

That's why we need you -- very badly -- to take a trip to our nation's capital on Feb. 17. We'll gather on the National Mall, in what is shaping up to be be the largest environmental rally in many years.

Together we'll send the message loud and clear: 'If you're serious about protecting future generations from climate change, stop the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. If you can do that, Mr. President, we can all work together to help build a climate legacy that will be a credit to your critical eight years in office.'

Look -- numbers count. If 20,000 of us show up on February 17th, it will be noticed. We need you in that number. The President may have given us an opening, but it's up to us to go through it, and we need to do it together.

Thanks for all you've done to bring us this far, friends. Let's keep it up -- this is our chance.
