Its Not About Politics and Fundraising . . .Right?

This is why I find these people so despicable.

Subject: We beat our global warming fund-raising goal -- Thank you!


July 1, 2004 Dear Friend,
I have exciting news. Thanks to more than 10,000 donors who generously contributed to the 51 Club both online and off, we have exceeded our fund-raising goal of $725,000. This successful effort has bolstered our grassroots campaign promoting the Climate Stewardship Act, the historic and practical bill sponsored by Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) to curb America’s global warming pollution. I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to everyone who helped us meet this extraordinary achievement by making donations and through active involvement in our Global Warming: Undo It! campaign. Please know that your support is being put to good use. The 51 Club is helping build real momentum behind the Climate Stewardship Act. Indeed, in our recent online town meeting, both Sens. McCain and Lieberman specifically thanked Environmental Defense and, by extension, all of you for supporting this grassroots movement.
