How would your administration show its respect for science?
Climate emergency. Everyone on board for a radical transformation to stop disaster.
I would love it if we all got together and changed this. This is why I have been working for Bernie - no middle ground. But we can't even get the state to change its practice of cutting older trees in state forests or stop DOER from changing rules to call burning of biomass clean energy and move ahead with a biomass plan that is as destructive as burning coal. Please, people, tell your legislators to support H897 and H853. And call your congressperson to stop Trump's war with Iran.

Jefferson's "original Rough draught" is on exhibit in the Library of Congress. This version was used by Julian Boyd to create a transcript of Jefferson's draft, which reads: "We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all men are created equal & independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness." The Committee of Five edited Jefferson's draft.
