Dear Kay: Do the right thing. We had your back last year. We've got it again now.

Like most of you on this blog, I would expect, I get a minor mountain of email every day, proffering petitions to sign urging action on timely causes that I support, or begging for more money to fight the good fight for yet another day.

I try hard to sign what I must and give what I can. It’s getting harder for any one email to really grab me. But here's one that's both clever and timely (and not asking for money), so I thought I'd share. Now's the time, given the global urgency of the upcoming Copenhagen climate talks, and given today’s hopeful joint statement on climate issued by President Obama and Chairman Hu of China.

Check out DearKay.com from our friends at the NC Conservation Network (no, I'm not in their employ..). It’s a space for NC voters who supported Senator Hagan’s campaign to post messages encouraging her to work hard for a strong climate bill. There are some choice quotes from her campaign, when she stressed her strong support for clean energy, green jobs, and a carbon cap. There’s also a selection of a dozen or so excerpts from posts they’ve got so far.

It looks like a pretty good way to get her attention, provided they collect enough messages. I didn’t see a count of how many posts have gone up so far, but I would imagine they’re hoping to generate hundreds, at least, if not thousands.

Let’s help.
