From Amsterdam

Just got this email…

Dear Daniel Kessler,

In support of the fine civil disobedience action that Greenpeace USA together with Bill McKibben, Jim Hansen and 90 other groups are undertaking today in Washington,  there was a modest demo this morning at the U.S. consulate in Amsterdam, organized by Concerned Citizens against Climate Change, Greenpeace Nederland, and the Haags Milieucentrum. We distributed a bilingual leaflet, and left a letter to Obama at the consulate (in attachment) supporting your action. A consular official promised to fax it on to Washington.

The English side of the leaflet, titled “Renewables Yes, Fossil Fuel No. Support Obama and the Washington Mass Protest against Dirty Coal”, is copied below.  The letter to Obama is in an attachment.  The Greenpeace Nederland organizers have sent photos of our demo to  your colleagues.

We admire your courage and that of all the other participants, students and older people, in this highly important action.  Good luck.

Fraternal greetings,
Arthur Mitzman, for Concerned Citizens against Climate Change ( www.stopwarming.eu).
