Recently. Californian Representative Henry Waxman has introduced a bill that, for the first time, seriously addresses global warming. Even though it's a strong first step, there are some big problems with it that need to be fixed. Lobbyists and PR people from the coal, gas, and oil industries will be doing everything in their power to make the bill as weak as possible.
It's going to take every one of us must work together to beat the fossil fuel industries. You can help out by letting your representative know why you're motivated to take action against to stop global warming.
We've set up a great new tool that allows you to share your story about your part in the global warming movement as well as send a powerful message to Congress. You can also see other stories about why people from across the country are helping out!
Take a moment to share your story and let Congress know why you care! We'll make sure it gets to your congressional representative as well as to other activists!
Can't wait to read your story,
Prerana
