About two dozen students are spreading the word to help the environment during the last stretch before Election Day.

Power Vote is a national organization that seeks solutions to end global warming by asking voters to consider a clean, safe and sustainable energy future. They call on politicians to start investing in clean, renewable energy.

The University group is led by Kelsea Norris, a freshman from Roswell.

“You should sign the pledge to become part of a national movement of young people who are demanding bold solutions to global warming and our energy crisis,” Norris said.

Norris became involved two summers ago when she attended a grassroots organizing training program. She now serves as the executive committee chair of the Sierra Student Coalition.

“We have so many more excited volunteers than I expected, and we are blazing through our goals like it’s nothing,” she said.

Power Vote’s national goal is to receive one million pledges. The University chapter goal is to get 5,000. So far, they’ve received more than 2,500.

Today, Al Gore is hosting a Web cast to support Power Vote. He will mention the University chapter as one of the top three groups in the nation to get pledges.
