Minnesotans For Global Warming Is having a rally at the Minnesota Capital on the South Side Capital Steps on Saturday February 2, Groundhog Day from 12 -2PM.

The Rally is called "Minnesotans For Global Warming - Free The Groundhog Day - Don't Tax Our Breath Rally!".

The purpose of the rally is to gather and inform Minnesotans of upcoming legislation being proposed by the "Minnesota Environmental Partnership", and all the other Federal and international CO2 taxes that are being proposed and signed into law. It is our contention that these taxes will serve only to put a further burden on the Minnesota taxpayer and have no effect on the climate.

We also will ask participants to go to their caucuses and propose legislation fighting these draconian laws. We will also provide a list of how the presidential candidates stand on this issue. We will hand out this act to be read at the caucuses and to be added to the parties' platform.We believe that manmade Global Warming is a myth, and that climate change is a natural phenomenon that has affected humanity throughout the ages. We also believe that carbon dioxide (CO2), is a non-polluting gas that occurs naturally, it even occurs when we breath and is essential to plant photosynthesis, without which there would be no life on earth.

We also believe that it is not possible to alter global climate through cuts in human greenhouse gas emissions, and that these attempts to tax and regulate CO2 will just increase human suffering.

Don't Tax Our Breath Resolution

Therefore, we here by declare that emitting CO2 is not harmful to the environment but actually beneficial, and that breathing and other normal day to day activities such as cooking, heating your home, driving or turning on lights is a basic human right and in its relation to "the climate" should not be taxed or regulated by any form of government in any way.
