Why we are 350: Scientists overwhelmingly agree that 350ppm CO2 is the upper limit to sustain life as humans have lived it. For more than 800,000 years atmospheric CO2 varied between roughly 180 to 280ppm ([link removed]) .

Our Earth passed 350ppm CO2 during 1988!

Keep your voting muscle exercised,
Get out and vote like your country & state depend on it!
Could Democrats Control the House This Spring?
Do you like the direction the country is taking?
What did you think of last Friday's "Art of the Deal"?

The U.S. Congress has 435 voting member seats
* The current math:
+ 215 are Democrats
+ 218 are Republican
+ That equals 433 voting members seated today - 2 empty
o Former Matt Gaetz (FL-1) & Michael Waltz (FL-6) seats are now vacant
+ One more will become vacant when Elise Stefanik (NY-1) is likely confirmed as the next UN US Ambassador)
+ That means three seats are open in special elections!
* IF somehow the Democrats picked up those three seats:
+ 218 Democratic
+ 217 Republican
+ A Democrat as House Speaker!

Consider:
* The April 1st special elections for the Florida seats are 4 weeks away (the date of the NY-21st special election won't be set until after Stefanik is confirmed - her confirmation is being slow walked ([link removed]) ).
* The new administration has been in office about 6 weeks and more and more people are rethinking their choices.
* Who knows where we'll be in another four weeks

The Democratic candidates:
* FL-1 Gay Valimont ([link removed])
* FL-6 Josh Weil ([link removed])
* NY-21 Blake Gendebien ([link removed])

If you can, please think about chipping in $5, $10, $20 or ? to one or more of these campaigns.

Every seat counts!
