On Tuesday I was pleased to join with environmental author Bill McKibben (who also founded the grassroots climate campaign 350.org), Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and hundreds of hard-working Americans in an effort to highlight Big Oil’s excessive and corrosive influence on our political system. For too long, Big Oil has exercised far too much control in Washington. It’s time for people to stand up to Big Oil’s vaults of money and army of lobbyists and work to restore government for the people and by the people. Doing so would not only be a victory for everyone who wants to protect the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land we live on. It would also be a victory for democracy and for the enduring gift the Founding Fathers gave us in free speech and public participation in government. The rally was organized by 350.org.
