This Moment on Earth

Dear xxx,

Yesterday morning when our new book This Moment On Earth went on sale in bookstores nationwide, it was ranked 3,398th on Amazon.Com.

No wonder the skeptics thought they were winning -- one reporter even thought she had a fair point when she asked John whether Americans really cared about the environment.

Well, it's only one day later -- and the book is now ranked #139 on Amazon.Com!

This huge first day of sales shows that Americans really care about the environment.

Please, come check it out -- write a review -- share your thoughts about environmental heroes you know -- and spread the word to your friends and neighbors.
"John Kerry and Teresa Heinz have written a book that is a profound challenge to all of us but contains, in the examples of the men and women who are fighting the great fight for a better future for our environment, the clear hope that if we can embrace their resourcefulness, determination and essential patriotism we will prevail."

-- Former Vice President Al Gore

The book grew out of conversations that John and I had with Americans from coast to coast about the environment and the critical challenges we all face in protecting the earth for future generations.

The stories inspired and moved us. John and I share the hope that they will lead all of us to question the way things are and look for small but significant ways that each of us can make a positive contribution to this new environmental movement. We hope they spark a new conversation about ways that everyday Americans from all walks of life can have an impact on the environment around them.

And, since all of the proceeds of the book go to environmental causes, we hope the book makes a financial difference for some great environmental organizations, as well.

Come check it out -- write a review -- and let your friends know.

Sincerely,

Teresa Heinz Kerry

1. Well, I guess the very rude Meredith Vierra was wrong
I got the book at the NYC book event a week ago - It is one of the most optimistic books on the environmental problems I have ever read. It shows that people working together can effect change even without the government. Though the Kerrys of course feel the government should be very involved itself.

5. From the 50 - 48 bill to keep the withdrawal date in
She's also wrong on the "political theater" of the Iraq votes. 13 to 48 to 50 (adding Nelson and Hagel) is moving well - it is serious.

6. Don Imus had a more substantive interview than Viera did. And he's an ENTERTAINER
not a news person like Viera is supposed to be on Today during those segments.

3. Viera sounded like an IDIOT when she questioned whether people care about the environment.
Like she was so afraid of sounding like a concerned liberal tree-hugger that she bent over backwards to sound like a freeping skeptic.

4. Well, it's now the number 1 non-fiction book on Amazon.com
It changes every hour - but it's currently the number 1 non-fiction book and the number 8 overall.
