However, that's exactly why our leaders need to see how many constituents support climate control. They need to see our anger at the current president's fight against conservation for the benefit of the rich. In addition, this session of Congress has just ended. They're all heading home right now anyway, so this event has been optimally scheduled to save our representatives who do attend an additional trip from Washington, DC, and back.
