The Spokesman-Review

With all the opinions about climate change and the meeting of world leaders trying to get a comprehensive treaty, I believe you have two options.

Option One: You can continue to follow the old philosophy of President G. W. Bush and the Republican Congress and continue to allow them to put their boot on your back, steal your wallet, send your job overseas, leave you with no food on the table and your children sick.

Or, under Option Two: Under President Obama’s philosophy, you can get off the floor, embrace the green technology, get re-educated, find a job, put food on the table and have healthier children.

The choice is yours.
