Received this e-mail today from Senator Brian Schatz (D. HI):
Not much can convince more than 25 U.S. Senators to stay up all night.
But that’s exactly what we’re going to do tonight.
Climate change is the challenge of our generation, but lately Congress has been silent. We're about to change that. I've asked my fellow Senators to join me on the floor tonight to show that we're ready to act on climate change. We’ll be staying up on the Senate floor all night to urge action to fight climate change and build a clean energy economy.
Will you join us? Stand #Up4Climate and clean energy solutions. Click here to sign the petition urging Congress to take action against climate change.

Even while our military, climate scientists, and President Obama are united in acknowledging the urgency of addressing climate change, Congress is almost uniquely stuck in a mire of denial and delay.
Powerful special interests are heavily funding efforts to confuse the public and delay action against climate change, but we can’t let big money win the day.
Climate change is caused by humans and it is a challenge we can address. America should be the global leader on this issue.
The people of Hawai‘i are already showing that clean energy can work. Nearly 10% of our homes are powered with solar energy and we are on track to produce 40% of our energy from local, renewable sources by 2030. We need the rest of the country to follow our lead.
Help us tell the rest of Congress to wake up. Sign our petition urging Congress to take rapid action against climate change.
