To: President Donald Trump

Please focus on climate change

Dear President Obama,
Please tell the American people that if they wish for significant action to avert climate change, they must not only vote for you, but send you a Democratic House and Senate in November. You will not be able to do much with a Republican Congress blocking you at every turn.
If you can explain this to the American people (and you seem uniquely equipped to do so), we believe that you will win re-election.
Sincerely,
Barbara Bazyn

Why is this important?

In my own state, Iowa, I have seen horrendous floods in 2008 and the threat of massive crop failure this summer. I believe that President Obama can win re-election for himself and other Democrats if he explains the need for action on climate change to the American people. The Republicans will not act on this issue.
