In Leonardo DiCaprio's new film, The 11th Hour, he continues the discussion of Global Climate Change, and in a recent interview, DiCaprio looked back at his work on JK's 2004 campaign, and forward to what he and we should expect from the '08 Dems.
So far, they're not measuring up.
Leonardo DiCaprio traveled to 14 states in 2004 to stump for Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. John Kerry – but the actor and environmentalist isn't planning to campaign for any of the 2008 candidates just yet."I thought he [Sen. Kerry] had an amazing environmental policy. But I have yet to hear a candidate that has compared in that regard."
The Blood Diamond star says he's looking for specifics from the 2008 candidates. "I'm waiting for the right questions to be asked, and for these candidates to give really clear responses to what they're going to do in a tangible way – not a lot of rhetoric," he said. "I want to hear hardcore facts."
Watch the trailer from DiCaprio's new film, The 11th Hour.
And be sure to visit the website, sign the pledge, and see the film.
Because the hope really is YOU.

Good post. It seems our candidates have to keep on being reminded how important and vital a strong environmental policy is. our future is at stake here. When are they going to address the seriousness of this issue? What are they waiting for, a poll or the base demanding they take action?
I don't know, some people are born leaders, like Senator Kerry, others have to be told where to lead. Sigh!
