This message has got to me from a couple of different sources. I'll reprint the one from NUPGE.
COPENHAGEN CLIMATE ALERT – PM HARPER NEEDS TO HEAR FROM YOU TODAY!!!!
The UN Summit for an agreement to slow global warming is in serious jeopardy. Negotiators have so far failed to look past selfish individual country interests to forge a fair, ambitious and legally-binding agreement. Country leaders will convene for the all-important final summit tomorrow. What they decide will determine whether humans have a chance of preventing the worst kinds of climate change.
So far, the government has not budged from its irresponsible greenhouse reduction target for Canada and it continues to block the strong agreement that more progressive nations are desperately seeking for the world.
PM HARPER AND HIS GOVERNMENT NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU TODAY. TAKE THESE 2 STEPS AND YOU WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE!
1) SIGN THE AVAAZ PETITION
Let's build the biggest Canadian petition in history so we can deliver it to Harper in Copenhagen. Together we can stand up to Harper and show him that Canada wants a real climate deal. Sign the petition now, then forward it to everyone you know:

2) PHONE A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
Call Parliament at 1-866-599-4999 now. Ask to be put through to a member of parliament in your area (or a leading government representative such as Environment Minister Prentice, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty or Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt) to demand action to help save Copenhagen. Tell them why you want him to support a fair, ambitious, and legally binding treaty. Be sincere and keep in mind that your reasons are the right reasons.
