Hello Stefan,

A quick note because this was too important to ignore. A day after I was in Copenhagen to underscore that the Senate is back in the game on climate change, and a day before President Obama was the first President in 17 years to roll up his sleeves and attend the climate negotiations, Senator James Inhofe flew  to Copenhagen to say - and I quote,

"John Kerry was here yesterday and said we will pass something ...that is binding and is going to be cap and trade. That is not going to happen. I know John Kerry wants it to happen, but it is not going to happen."

Two points:

1. passing climate change and energy reform won't happen because I say so, it'll happen if you demand it and dig in like you've neve done before
2. this is the start of a big battle -- when I sent you the email announcing TruthFightsBack yesterday i didn't know we'd be getting a great example of why we need it so quickly.

Attempts to twist reality and spread distortions won't work if you won't let them.

Please contribute to the new TruthFightsBack to make sure people know the truth.

Bottom-line: We can't meet our country's challenges if we're spending all our time having fictional debates in the never-never land of ideological imagination.

Thanks for all your help.

Sincerely,
John Kerry
