| Dear Amanda, As tens of thousands of you have been adding your messages of support to The Wall, here in Copenhagen countless meetings and first of their kind conversations are happening every day -- between heads of state, Fortune 500 CEOs, media figures, NGO advocates and activists from all over the world. It's a great sign of progress, since it will take an unparalleled level of cooperation to forge global climate solutions and put them into action. We captured one of these conversations for you, between the President and CEO of the Alliance for Climate Protection, Maggie L. Fox, and Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, former Prime Minister of Norway and a leader in the fight against climate change. As Dr. Brundtland makes clear, more than anything else it will take everyone working together to create meaningful action on a global scale.  Dr. Brundtland and her colleagues from around the world are looking to the U.S. to take up the mantle of leadership this week on climate change -- all are eagerly awaiting remarks from President Obama on Friday. As American officials continue to address the world through the Conference this week, they're looking to us to show our commitment at home as well. People like you and me play a key role in encouraging our leaders to take action, and it's vital that we continue to voice our passion for solutions and action on The Wall. Let's send a clear signal to our leaders and to all those gathered in Copenhagen: Americans are ready to lead the way -- starting with what we do right here at home. We have arrived at the moment, the world is watching, and the opportunity to reach a global agreement is before us. Watch Maggie Fox's conversation with the former Prime Minister of Norway and show your commitment on The Wall. http://acp.repoweramerica.org/mfghb Thanks, Giselle Barry Communications Director Repower America |
