SUCCESSFUL PROTEST OF REP. FLORES CLIMATE POLICY
The April 2nd Town Hall
of Mr. Flores in Waco was a unique opportunity to clearly
inform the Congressman that his climate change positions do NOT represent his
constituents. Near the event entrance, several members held a huge banner
stating "DEFEAT CLIMATE DENIER FLORES." His public statements
on climate change indicate that he does not accept the reality and existential
threat of climate change. His environmental voting score with the League
of Conservation Voters is 4%.
All attendees had to pass near our banner to
enter the venue and we were informed that Mr. Flores did see our message!
Clearly, we were able to SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER. Also, the Waco Trib
published a photo of our action, and a response from the Congressman claiming
he is NOT a climate science denier.
Anytime our message strongly reaches our
"Representative," and the local newspaper carries any discussion of
this most vital issue--we have been successful. Thanks to the dedicated activists
who helped in this protest.
Email to anorthc@aol.com to be placed on the Friends of Peace email list.
