Also, dear group, I'm leaving next week for the People's Global Climate Change March in New York to shake up the U.N. before the start of the next climate change summit. I just got off the global organizing conference call, and in the best self-organizing way the march is picking up steam and may involve up to 200,000 people in New York alone. CNN will be broadcasting world-wide. And there are 1,366 local marches in 198 countries around the world to support the big march in New York. This is how you make change. As many of you do, I remember the 60s and the civil rights and anti-war movements. And now we have social media. Direct action is perhaps the most important way today to get the attention of positional leaders who are virtually all bought and sold. And the Bretton Woods 3.0 summit in Santa Fe in May, 2016 will bring all those organizers together. Let me know if you want to help.
