### Climate Vote 2007

![](http://www.environmentaldefense.org/content_Images/capsunset_80x80.jpg)Part of a series on the work of the Environmental Defense Action Fund to enact an effective climate law. [You can help by writing to Congress](http://action.environmentaldefense.org/campaign/climatevote07).



"You don’t need to convince me to fight global warming. I’m already with you. You need to reach others and convince them." We hear that a lot from our online activists and members. We get it and we’re doing something about it.

In the last several years, we’ve deployed scores of on-the-ground organizers and communication specialists in key swing states to recruit unlikely allies. Our new 10-minute video, "Cap. Trade. Grow.", is part of that effort.

There are loads of videos out there highlighting the threat and urgency of global warming. Our video takes a different tack. We focus on the business opportunities inherent in developing global warming solutions, and the national security issues tied to our reliance on foreign oil. Take a look.

If you’d like to distribute copies to local business groups, local political leaders, or the home district offices of your members of Congress, [please let us know](mailto:Cap.Trade.Grow@environmentaldefense.org).
