==Action at Williams==
===The Williams event will take place on WednesdayTuesday, February 5th, 2008===
* The one day symposium will involve class discussions, talks and debates, a keynote speaker and community based engagement. In 2008 the nation will begin the process of voting for a new president, and we feel this is an excellent opportunity to establish global warming as a major national political issue.
* At Williams we are asking professors to dedicate time to leading a discussion on global warming, either as it relates to their field or how simply as they see it as a person.
==Schedule of the Day==
==Goals==
* '''Deal with Global Warming in an intelligent way. ''' This is not a simple or black and white issue, it deserves enlightened discussion.* '''Involve Lots of People. ''' This concerns all of humanity and Focus the Nation will provide an environment for large scale discussions by lots and lots of people. This issue is not an environmental issue but a societal and environmental issue which means the discussions of how to deal with it should happen between people from all different backgrounds and beliefs. * '''Make the Issue More Political. ''' The event will occur early in the political primary season, it provides an opportunity to engage political candidates from across the country and at all levels of government in campus-based, non-partisan discussions of climate solutions.
