Good Morning Neighbor:I hope everyone is surviving this extremely warm week here in Georgia. I also hope that everyone is surviving these unbelievable gas prices. We are going to need a public campaign in the very, very near future to see what can be done in this arena - there will have to be an uprising of the citizens to say enough is enough. I am wondering what our boiling point is going to be - $4.00, $5.00 or $6.00? You can be sure it will be extremely high on my agenda in the State House.Please see the Forum below that our Environmental Institute of Georgia is co-sponsoring in the coming week. This is a free event and I encourage you to attend - we have got to start thinking as a community as to how to tackle this crisis.Also, please see an attached flyer for an Environmental Camp for High Schoolers that EIOG is also sponsoring. Our young people are going to have the opportunity to learn so much - please encourage their attendance.Your neighbor,ConnieWINNING OUR ENERGY INDEPENDENCEAn Energy Insider Shows HowJimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum441 Freedom Parkway | Atlanta | 404-865-7100Wednesday, June 11, 2008, 7:00 p.m.SPECIAL FREE EVENTS.
