 Over the holidays I had the pleasure of appearing on one of my favorite political radio shows, The Kudzu Vine. For those of you not yet in the know, The Kudzu Vine is a Georgia-based program on Blog Talk Radio that "covers politics across the South" every Sunday night from 7 to 8 p.m. We had a great time talking about the latest developments in the Luv Guv impeachment drama, Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina's upcoming congressional races and lots more. A big thanks to the Kudzu team for having me on the show! If you haven't checked them out already, you can do so online anytime at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kudzu.

Mt. Pleasant, SC, Oct. 24- Lowcountry 350 gathered in Mt. Pleasant Waterfront Memorial Park this afternoon with 73 participants in a global effort to raise awareness about climate change.
The participants were asked to get to the park without using fossile fuels. Many came by bicycle. A few walked or came by electric vehicle. Shortly before 3:50 pm, they formed the bicycles into an oval to form the digit "0." The 73 participants formed the numeral "3" and "5." Some of the Charleton held up signs which spelled out "South Carolina." 350 is regarded as the miximum amount, in parts per million, of carbon that is safe to have in Earth's Atmosphere. The current level is 390 parts per million. The Mt. Pleasant Fire Department used a large ladder truck to take a photograph of the gathering, one of thousands like it around the earth that day. The effort finished up about 4:00 pm and the particpants returned home while the image when out online to be displayed along with thousands of others. For information on the international effort and views of other events around the planet see www.350.org. Information on the Charleston Group can be found on it's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=148157548691

 On Friday, September 18, The Climate Protection Action Fund’s Repower South Carolina campaign will deliver over 1,300 letters and petitions, written and signed by constituents, to the Columbia district office of Senator Lindsey Graham. Voters are calling for passage of comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation that will create millions of jobs, help end our dependence on foreign oil and solve the climate crisis. Repower South Carolina has over 14,300 members in the Palmetto State.A Zogby International poll released in August showed that a majority of American voters — 71 percent — strongly support House-passed clean energy and climate legislation, citing the job growth that would result from enacting new clean energy policies.
