Step Up? Step Off Bill

You know how the left always seems to be trying to relive the "glory" days of Vietnam and Watergate? Well now, our good buds at MoveOn.org seem to want to turn the clock back even further. From an e-mail received today on climate change:

Exciting news!

By the way, this is how pretty much how every MoveOn.org e-mail begins.

This Saturday will see the biggest demonstration on climate change in U.S. History. Our friends at Step It Up 2007 have organized over 1300 actions in all 50 states. On one day, tens of thousands of us will stand together and demand bold action from our leaders on climate change. Will you be there?

Bill McKibben, author and creator of Step It Up 2007, sent this message on the importance of this event:

...It's more important than ever that those of us who know enough and care enough to take action ratchet up the pressure. The oil companies and the coal barons read the newspapers too--they know that their days of a free ride are coming to a close, and the only question now is how high the fare is going to be. In every corner of the country, people are demanding real action. And they're starting to be heard.

The coal barons? The guys wearing top hats, monocles, and striped pants who light their cigars with twenties?

UPDATE: This is rather interesting:
