The Democratic Party
-----------------------
Robert --

As Democrats, I like to think we take the long view of
things.

While the other side seems determined to enact shortsighted
legislation that reinforces the status quo, we think about
what our actions mean for the future -- will our children
be better off than us? Are we creating an economy and a
world built to last?

That's a fundamental difference between Democrats and
Republicans -- and it's nowhere more apparent than in our
commitment to the environment. Forty-two years after the
first Earth Day, it's important to recognize that
difference, and commit to fighting for our vision, now and
in November.

Despite Republican obstruction in Congress, we've made
major progress this year.

Last July, President Obama announced an agreement with
automakers to nearly double fuel efficiency for cars and
light-trucks by 2025, saving consumers over $8,000 at the pump
per vehicle and cutting 6 billion tons of greenhouse emissions.
Brand-new mercury standards will keep our air and water
cleaner, and protect our children from devastating developmental 
disorders.

And, for the first time ever, the EPA has proposed rules
that will limit the amount of carbon dioxide produced by future
power plants -- a critical first step to tackling climate change,
and one the GOP fought every step of the way.

There is still much to do. We need a long-term plan to
address climate change -- legislation that can only be
passed by Congress. The Republican party is on the wrong
side of this issue.
