Babies 4 Obama

I hate to get political, but...

Babies 4 Peace was founded on the notion that world harmony is impossible without world health - or, more specifically, without a healthier planet. It's far too easy to imagine a world where countries, tribes, families begin fighting not over religion or nationality but over water and other natural resources. In fact, the warring has already begun in our own backyard with some Southern states fighting over access to reservoirs, dams and tributaries while others linger in darkness for weeks (even months) in the wake of 100-year storms that seem to come every 3 years these days.

What I'm saying is that we need a leader who understands the "trickle-down" impact of his environmental policy. It's not just about cleaner air, healthier animals, and smaller hurricanes. It's also about preventing wars 20 or 30 years from now between poor nations that peg their very survival to potable water that is growing more and more scarce each year.

One candidate promises to "develop a climate change adaption plan." (Huh? Who's got time for that Washington merry-go-round?) The other promises to invest $150 billion over the next 10 years, to make sure 10% of our energy comes from renewable sources within 4 years, to create 5 million green collar jobs...

I'll let you guess which candidate is which. All I'm saying is that "Babies 4 Obama" has a nice ring to it, dontcha think?!
