At the MSNBC website there is an option to submit a suggestion for a question at the November Democratic Presidential debate. Click on the link to have your question submitted. They need to be flooded (intended) with questions about climate change.
Mine is below:
Dear Andrea Mitchell, Rachel Maddow, Kristen Welker & Ashley Parker:
Congratulations on being chosen to moderate the next Democratic Presidential Debate. I urge you to make the first question at the November Debate about climate change, and include several other questions relating to it.
It’s the media’s responsibility to educate and awaken people to the critical issues of our time, and yet none of the prior debates have asked a single question about climate change. People are throwing around phrases like “existential threat” so much they lose their meaning. The public desperately needs to be educated to the specific threats inaction will do to their children and grandchildren.
When the other side is actively working against any action, it’s essential that the Democratic candidates engage on this issue and the moderators formulate questions incorporating the life and death nature of the matter.
It seems like 40-50% of prior debates have focused on health care and taxes — important issues, but not to the exclusion of climate change.
Sincerely,
Bethesda 1971
