Last Chance--Sign the Petition for a Clean Energy Future

 

What will Congress do to stop global warming in their

First 100 Hours?

 

Last week I sent you a link to a National Wildlife Federation petition

asking the new Congress to cut oil subsidies, invest in renewable energy and

address global warming in the First 100 Hours. I wanted to let you know that

this legislation now has a name--the Clean Energy Act of 2007 (H.R. 6)--and

that a vote is scheduled for this Thursday, January 18th.

 

As the CRITICAL first vote on global warming in 2007, we need the strongest

show of support we've ever had. You still have time to sign the petition in

support of a clean energy future for America:

We now have more than 22,000 signatures--but we are doubling our efforts to

double the number signatures. The names we collect will be delivered direct

to Congress to show them how many Americans are behind this Clean Energy

Act.

 

By promoting clean, renewable energy and energy efficiency, H.R. 6 will help

reduce global warming pollution and break our dangerous oil addiction. It

will also help create jobs, reduce air pollution and save Americans billions

on their energy bills. The bill would repeal $13 billion in subsidies

benefiting the same oil companies who are earning record profits.

 

Please sign the petition and forward it to your friends to help us reach our

goal of 50,000 signatures!

The time is now: the new Congress is moving quickly and we cannot let them

forget about global warming--the number one threat to wildlife and America's

wild places. There are still a number of undecided representatives--make

sure they hear your voice.

 

Thank you,
