Ballot Questions for All: The Climate Hawk’s Companion Podcast

In preparation for the Nov 4 election, this podcast presents the 'climate action' viewpoint on the ballot questions. Always good to hear both sides before making a decision.

We talk with commentator D.R. Tucker and Citizens Climate Lobby's Gary Rucinski about both the Bottle Bill (Question 2) and the Gas Tax (Question 1.) Then we talk with Chris Manns, who is leading the fight in Metro-West Massachusetts for the "Vote Yes For Democracy" question that reverses the Citizens United decision. Here are some links to: The Yes on 2 website and a list of five reasons we need a bottle bill. The NO on Question 1 site, plus some information on safe roads and bridges . For those interested in more carbon tax information, we suggest citizensclimatelobby.org for the effort to enact a national carbon fee and http://www.climate-xchange.org/ for efforts to to enact a state carbon fee in MA. Also, the DOER commissioned a study into what a state carbon fee would look like and how the money could be returned to households and businesses. You can find a record of their proceedings here. The following links provide information on the move to amend the constitution in response to the Supreme Court's Citizen's United decision: http://www.voteyesfordemocracy.org/infographic/ https://movetoamend.org/ http://corporationsarenotpeople.com/ A top-level discussion of the statewide ballot questions is here. Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.
