Right now, key members of Congress are working on a bill supported by President Obama to move America to a clean energy economy that will create millions of jobs, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and tackle global warming.
But Big Oil and Dirty Coal lobbyists are using every means to pressure Congress to support more of the same failed policies of the past. They want more oil, more coal, polluter giveaways, and for America to ignore global warming as a hoax.
They also don't want to be accountable for their pollution; they want YOU to pay for it instead.
You can help fight back and change our future. Send a letter today and tell your representative we need a strong clean energy economy now.
Strengthen the American Clean Energy and Security Act
Dear Representative
I am writing to ask you to strengthen the American Clean Energy and Security Act -- and to make polluters, NOT us taxpayers, pay for pollution. This bill is a great first step to create millions of jobs and build a clean energy economy, but you should make it stronger on four key areas:
-- Make polluters - not taxpayers - pay for pollution;
-- Include a stronger commitment to reduce global warming emissions in the near-term.
-- Move us boldly away from dirty coal.
-- Make sure there's a smooth transition for workers, families, businesses, and vulnerable populations to the clean energy economy.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
