Led by the Congress of Racial Equality, a coalition of leaders from the African American, civil rights, agriculture, Christian, senior citizen and consumer rights communities will stage a "Stop The War On The Poor" Rally and press conference on the U.S. Capitol Grounds next Tuesday, July 15 at 2 p.m.

You can see details on this event here.

We expect a few dozen Members of Congress — both Democrats and Republicans — will participate in next Tuesday's rally.  This rally will kick off a large, highly integrated national campaign that will activate several million citizens by the end of this year to push for more domestic energy production. 

You can see a brief summary of the national "Stop The War on the Poor" campaign plan here.No industry or business representatives will be on the stage next Tuesday — only grassroots, consumer and community leaders.  However, you are encouraged to send representatives to attend the event and be a part of the crowd — that will lend to the success of the rally.  Please pass this on to your DC lobbyists or representatives, if your company has any.

About The Deniers

Is The "Scientific Consensus" on Global Warming a Myth?
Yes, says internationally renowned environmentalist author Lawrence Solomon who highlights the brave scientists–all leaders in their fields– who dispute the conventional wisdom of climate change alarmists (despite the threat to their careers)
Al Gore and his media allies claim the only scientists who dispute the alarmist view on global warming are corrupt crackpots and "deniers", comparable to neo-Nazis who deny the Holocaust.
Solomon calmly and methodically debunks Gore's outrageous charges, showing in on 'headline' case after another that the scientists who dispute Gore's doomsday scenarios have far more credibility than those who support Gore's theories. These men who expose Gore's claims as absurd hold top positions at the most prestigious scientific institutes in the world. Their work is cited and acclaimed throughout the scientific community. No wonder Gore and his allies want to pretend they don't exist.
This is the one book that PROVES the science is NOT settled. The scientists profiled are too eminent and their research too devastating to allow simplistic views of global warming–like Al Gore's–to survive.
A review of the book by Dr. Sterling Burnett of the National Center for Policy Analysis (and a member of the Cooler Heads Coalition) appeared on NRO’s Planet Gore recently and can be found here: http://planetgore.nationalreview.com/post/?q=YjJmZDYxZThlMzNmNzYzZmIzMGExNWY0Mzg1MGRiZTY=,

The Deniers is published by Richard Vigilante Books.

Lawrence Solomon is one of Canada’s leading environmentalists.  His book, The Conserver Solution (Doubleday), which popularized the Conserver Society concept in the late 1970s, became the manual for those interested in incorporating environmental factors into economic life.  An advisor to President Jimmy Carter's Task Force on the Global Environment (the Global 2000 Report) in the late 1970s, he has since been at the forefront of movements to reform foreign aid, stop nuclear power expansion and toll roads.  Mr. Solomon is a founder and managing director of Energy Probe Research Foundation and the executive director of its Urban Renaissance Institute and Consumer Policy Institute divisions.

Mr. Solomon writes a weekly column for Toronto’s Financial Post.  He has been a columnist for the Globe and Mail, a contributor to the Wall Street Journal, the editor and publisher of the award-winning the Next City magazine, and the author or co-author of several books.

The State of California has developed an array of demand-side energy policies over the past several decades.  More recently, California’s legislature has passed legislation that mandates drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.  Key lawmakers are now promoting California’s energy and global warming policies as a model for the federal government and other States to follow.  Thomas Tanton’s talk will review California’s policies and show that they have had significant costs as well as other detrimental effects and are likely to have even higher costs and even worse effects in the future.  California’s policies have led to the highest electricity and gasoline prices in the continental U. S. and contributed to the de-industrialization of California.  While per capita electricity consumption has remained flat, total electricity demand has increased 65% since 1980.

Mr. Tanton’s talk is based on his new White Paper for the Competitive Enterprise Institute, California Energy Policy: a Cautionary Tale for the Nation.  Copies will be available at the event and online at www.cei.org.

Thomas Tanton is a Fellow in Environmental Studies at the Pacific Research Institute and an Adjunct Scholar at the Institute for Energy Research.  He is also President of T2 & Associates, an energy technology consulting firm.  Mr. Tanton has over 35 years’ experience in the energy, economy, and environmental fields.  As the General Manager at the Electric Power Research Institute from 2000 to 2003, he was responsible for the overall management and direction of collaborative research and development programs in electric generation technologies, integrating technology, market infrastructure, and public policy.

Until 2000, Mr. Tanton was Principal Policy Advisor with the California Energy Commission, where he began his career in 1976.  He developed and implemented policies and legislation on energy issues of importance to California, U.S., and international markets, including electric restructuring, gasoline and natural gas supply and pricing, energy facility siting and permitting, environmental issues, power plant siting, technology development, and transportation.  He served as lead advisor on energy and infrastructure to California's task force on 21st Century development.  He has testified before several state legislatures and Congress, and provided expert witness testimony in power plant siting cases.
