About this Petition Petition Letter

Last fall, a new generation of Americans rose to action in support of the Obama Campaign in unprecedented numbers, and made their voices heard.  It’s time to lead again.

Our generation has an incredibly important role to play in demanding a clean energy future. We understand that we must pursue a “Yes We Can!” approach to our nation’s climate and energy challenges, and that there are REAL consequences – for our economy, our security and the future of our planet – if our nation fails to act.

In 2008, our decisive effort on the Obama Campaign proved our political might. In 2009, our collective voice can be the deciding factor in the battle for strong clean energy reform. Standing together we cannot – and will not – be ignored.

Now is the time for us to lead on climate change. We must lead because we have the most to lose. If progress is blocked by old political forces and special interests, we will be the ones facing the consequences.

Join the movement, and make your voice count!

Now is the time to lead on climate change

Dear Senator

We must take action to jump start a clean energy economy, or we will all face the consequences.

I urge you to support a comprehensive clean energy jobs and climate plan, including a cap on carbon pollution, which will:

* Invest in clean energy sources such as wind and solar

* Create millions of new clean energy jobs right here in America

* Cut our dependence on foreign oil

* Reduce the carbon pollution that causes global warming

Making the shift to clean energy will ultimately make energy cheaper, create jobs and protect the environment from the worst impacts of global warming. Now is the time to make sure America leads the world's clean energy economy in the 21st century.

[Your name]
