Urge Your Rep. to Work for Climate Change

The Issue


 After weeks of negotiations, on May 15 the House Energy and Commerce Committee introduced compromise climate change legislation to address the urgent energy and climate issues facing the nation. 

This legislation is a good first step, but the bill as written includes compromises that threaten to undermine the primary goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Urge your representative to:

1.) Support climate legislation that results in quick, deep, and real cuts in greenhouse gas emissions

2.) Oppose exceptions that allow pollution to continue for a decade, and

3.) Oppose giving away pollution allowances to industry

Write your representative today and urge her or him to improve this climate change legislation.

Mary AcostaPetition StarterI voted as a Democrate but I would love to see a third party come to fruition. After 5 years of working for the schools, lay offs have left me unemployed. Who got the bail out? Not the working families of America. So, now maybe people will get out and take a look at the status quo and what it has done to the poor. Also, there must be health care for all and justice for all. <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/2011/4/11/dont_punish_the_poor_economist_jeffrey" rel="nofollow">http://www.democracynow.org/2011/4/11/dont_punish_the_poor_economist_jeffrey</a>
