Join the "We Get It!" Campaign for a Rational, Compassionate Environmentalism

Regarding the proper maintenance of our environment...

It isn't about whether we care.

It's about
how we care.

“Christians must care for the environment and the poor, but our stewardship must be based on Biblical principles and factual evidence. Christians, by and large, don’t buy the hype surrounding global warming -- that it’s catastrophic, human-induced, and requires drastic and exorbitant government intervention. We must be particularly careful as these issues can have a devastating effect on the poor.” (Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, National Spokesman, Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation)

“A couple of years ago, when a small group of evangelicals took it upon themselves to speak for all the rest of us on global warming, I was, frankly, upset. I knew they didn't speak for me. Based on years of research, I also knew they didn't speak for sound science and economics. I was glad to see that some other evangelicals, like those with the Cornwall Alliance, were prepared to speak for Christians like me on solid Biblical, scientific, and economic grounds. Now the ‘We Get It!’ declaration also speaks for me, and I believe it speaks for the vast majority of evangelicals.” (U.S. Senator James Inhofe)

Senator Tom Coburn, Dr. James Dobson, Dr. Richard Land, Dr. David Legates (Associate Professor of Climatology, University of Delaware), Janet Parshall, Pat Boone, Congressman Paul Broun, Dr. Wayne Grudem, Dr. David Noebel, Wendy Wright, Joel Belz and many, many others (including, yes, Denny & Claire Hartford) have signed the petition and are excited about asking others to join the We Get It! campaign too. Will you?
