Greetings,

I just signed the following petition addressed to: Free Climate Hero Tim DeChristopher: jailed 2 years for peaceful protest.

DeChristopher stood up for what he beleived in and tried to stop the sale of oil and gas land leases in Utah by buying up the leases at an auction with no intent of actually paying for them.

This was a creative act of protest to, as Tim puts it best, "expose, embarrass and hold accountable the oil and gas industry, to the point that it cut into their $100 billion profits."

Join me in signing this petition in support of Tim.

In a peaceful act of protest against oil and gas leases, 29 year old Tim Dechristopher was sentenced to 2 years in jail yesterday.

"My intent both at the time of the auction and now was to expose, embarrass and hold accountable the oil and gas industry, to the point that it cut into their $100 billion profits," DeChristopher told the court.

Dechristopher told the judge, "You have authority over my life, but not my principles. Those are mine," DeChristopher said. "I'll continue to confront the system that threatens our future."

We must all stand up and take action to tell DeChristopher that he is not alone and his actions were not in vain.

Sincerely,
