Admitting you have a problem is always the first step in breaking an addiction. Luckily, Mr. Bush has taken that first step by admitting that America is addicted to oil. Unfortunately, Bush, Harper and scores of other politicians and corporate CEOs have stopped right there and are exhibiting the classic signs of an addict: denial, aggression, avoidance, and shifting the blame.
In fact, the very next day after Bush's State of the Union Address, in which he admitted our oil addiction, his energy secretary explained that when Mr. Bush pledged to reduce [oil] imports from the Middle East, "he didn't mean it literally."
It's time to STOP THE ADDICTION and on Saturday April 1st we hope you will join with thousands of activists around the world in the 3rd Annual Fossil Fools Day to do just that. Register at: jumpstartford.com/action/fo...fools_day/
Fossil Fools Day is a day where citizens unite to say no to the oil pushers and demand a break from our addiction to - an addiction that threatens our environment, our economy, our health, our sports, our workforce, and leads us into war and conflict around the world.
Global Exchange, Energy Action, Code Pink, Iraq Veterans Against the War, the Rainforest Action Network, the Ruckus Society and others are jumpstarting North America's to take action to push to real solutions that will kick our dirty habit and put us on a path to a clean energy future. And, concerned peaceful citizens are going to lead that charge!

What You Can Do:
Adopt a Ford Dealer Near You!
1 in 7 barrels of oil is consumed on America's highways alone. Oil consumption in the United States and Canada equals almost 3 gallons per day per capita--6 times the global average--and Ford Motor Company has the worst fuel economy in the auto industry. By enlisting local Ford dealers as allies, we can convince corporate decision makers that there is a demand for fuel-efficient and zero-emission vehicles putting a HUGE dent in our addiction to fossil fuels.

Host an Intervention for a Fossil Fool/Oil Addict
Have a mock intervention for a regional, national or international Fossil Fool, or have an intervention for a local Fossil Fool--could be a person or an institution that needs to kick their fossil fuel addiction. Be creative & have fun! Find out if your representatives are receiving oil money and then confront them to break the addiction!

Fight for Efficiency & Renewables on Your Campus or in Your Community!
You can launch a campaign in your community to green the vehicle fleets of your college, university, city or state. Pass a resolution and get your government –at any level- to replace those gas-guzzlers with cleaner, more efficient vehicles. You can also get your campus or community to place soft orders for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Plugging our cars into a grid powered by dirty energies like coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear is not a solution to our addiction, so we've got to clean up the grid, too. Push for efficiency and clean, renewable energy on your campus or in your community today! Find resources & register your action:

Pass a Green Fleet Resolution On Your Campus or Community!
You can launch a campaign in your community to green the vehicle fleets of your university, city or state. Pass a resolution and get your government –at any level- to replace those gas-guzzlers with hybrid, electric, and bio-diesel vehicles. You can also get your campus or community to place soft orders for PHEV's which, is one of the best ways to show your commitment to fighting oil addiction.

Tell Ford to Stop Biggering
This year instead of building a fleet of PHEV's, or increasing its commitment to hybrids beyond 4%, Ford decided to increase the size of two of its already GARGANTUAN SUV's. The Expedition alone is increasing to a MONSTOROUS 19 ½ feet in length. Ford's willingness to BIGGER its' vehicles reminded us of the very telling story of the Onceler in Dr. Suess' "The Lorax". This Fossil Fools Day why not remind Ford what being addicted to "Thneads" - products we don't need like SUV's - means by holding a screening of the Lorax movie at your local dealer. If you don't have a projector stage a story time reading or dress up as your favorite character and deliver a copy to your local dealer. Remember "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lots, nothings going to change its just not." g
We need to stand up and show that we will be safer, healthier and wealthier with energy innovation! It's time to end our addiction to oil and push for a fossil fool free future.
