Hi,

I just signed a petition urging all candidates and parties in the 2009 German elections to strengthen their commitments on climate change.

By targeting the climate ambitions of all candidates we ensure that, regardless of who represents Germany at December's crucial UN negotiations, they have the strongest commitment to support a new, ambitious and fair global climate treaty. A movement is growing to deliver a strong message to all candidates that the German public will vote for bold climate leadership. It starts with this petition -- sign it now, and Avaaz will deliver it to candidates in the build up to the election:

P.S. Here's the original email I received from Avaaz:

Dear friends,

A few short months from now in Copenhagen, 192 countries will meet to negotiate a new global climate treaty. For these talks to succeed, Germany must lead the world with strong climate policies and a sustainable economic recovery -- and Germany's next chancellor has to know that German voters will accept nothing less.

This is our moment. From now until the election, it is up to all of us in Germany to ensure that the parties all commit to creating green jobs at home and prepare the way for a fair, ambitious, and binding global climate treaty at Copenhagen.

That's why, together, we are launching an all-out campaign to strengthen the climate commitments from all candidates and parties. This effort begins with a simple petition -- to show that German citizens demand leadership from a real climate chancellor. We will deliver the petition to each candidate, in meetings, events, stunts, ads, and rallies, until our message is heard -- but the petition only has power if all of us sign on. Add your name now, and ask friends and family to join the call:

We are already getting through to politicians and the media -- and we've only just begun. On Monday, a group of Avaaz members held up signs and chanted "protect the climate" before a speech by Frank-Walter Steinmeier -- and became national news.

And Wednesday, dozens of German Avaaz members in green hard hats (representing green jobs) hand-delivered a global climate change petition signed by 145,181 people from around the world to Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel.

Together, in the coming weeks, we can ensure that climate change and green jobs join the economy as the top national issue in this election -- just as Avaaz members and the climate movement have done in Canada, Australia, and the United States -- and that Germany leads the world to a strong climate treaty in Copenhagen this December.

Sign this petition right now, and deliver a message our leaders won't forget:

It is time for us to act, not as members of any political party, but as Germans committed to the future of our economy, our country, and our world. Our actions now will shape the campaign, the election, the talks in Copenhagen -- and the planet we leave to our children and grandchildren.

With hope,

Julius, Pascal, Ben, Taren, Anna, Iain, Anastasis, Sandra, and the entire Avaaz team
