>Dear Whit ,
>
>In a clearly manipulative move, George Bush is inviting top leaders from 
>around the world to Washington, D.C. Sept. 27th and 28th to officially 
>convey his "deep concern" about global warming. His proposed fix: more 
>useless "voluntary" measures and huge subsidies for "clean coal" and 
>nuclear energy. The event is clearly meant to undermine real international 
>efforts now underway to achieve mandatory greenhouse gas cuts under the 
>Kyoto process.
>
>Top ministers and heads of state from around the world will be attending 
>Bush's conference as well as a great concentration of national and 
>international media. We need to show up and loudly proclaim our own 
>message: George Bush doesn't speak for us! We want real climate action now!
>
>WHAT: Major global warming rally to protest Bush's criminal neglect of the 
>climate crisis. Music by Emma's Revolution and Luci Murphy, inspiring

>Fast", Rev. Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus, and Mike Tidwell, director of
