Richardson: It's Time to Act Boldly

Written by: Sheri Divers on May 31, 2007 2:21 PM EDT

DFA members are keeping the pressure up on the Democratic candidates for President to stay true to progressive principles. Thousands signed the petition demanding a plan to stop global warming, encourage conservation and invest in renewable resources.

Today, Governor Bill Richardson responds directly to you:

The core of Governor Richardson's plan is "to act boldly and act now. It's time for a revolution and that's what I'm proposing." He knows some will say he is asking for too much too fast, but "I know what this country is capable of and I know we can do this."

Governor Richardson spends almost three minutes spelling out the specifics of his energy plan. You won't hear responses like this at the primary debates or in a T.V. commercial. The mainstream media thinks you don't have the time or interest for anything that isn't a sound bite or a clever one liner. They refuse to pay attention to the details. But we will.

Here's the Richardson plan now:

There are many great candidates running for President. It is up to each of us to find the candidate that best represents our views and do everything we can to help them win. A healthy primary challenge will make our eventual nominee stronger and the unity of the progressive movement more powerful. That's why DFA brings these videos directly to you as an honest broker in your decision making process. This is NOT an endorsement of Governor Richardson's campaign. However, if you like what you hear today, you can join his campaign at:

We will continue pressuring the candidates to take positions and share them directly with you. If your favorite candidate hasn't sent DFA a response yet, please e-mail the campaign and ask them why not.
