The fight for clean energy has just begun

Dear Richard,

Great news! The global warming bill we've told you so much about over the past few weeks has made it past the first obstacle. Recently, the House's Energy and Commerce Committee passed this landmark legislation.

But now an even bigger challenge stands before us – the passage of the bill by the entire House of Representatives. We truly appreciate all that you have done in this fight, but we need your support now more than ever!

Click here to help us flood the inboxes of our representatives with messages urging swift passage of this critical bill.

Keep the momentum
going!

The global warming legislation has made it past the first obstacle, but now it must pass the entire House of Representatives.

Send a letter to your representative TODAY urging his or her support!

Millions of pounds of man-made global warming pollution are emitted into the Earth's atmosphere each year with devastating effects. Our planet is experiencing increased droughts, more frequent and more powerful hurricanes and floods, and crop failures, among other tragedies. But it's not too late for us to change all this.

The American Clean Energy and Security Act, introduced last month, will cut the "greenhouse gases" that contribute to global warming, while increasing the use of renewable energy and the production of low-carbon transportation fuels.

If passed, this bill will usher in a clean energy future that will revitalize our economy and hold polluters accountable.

We've come close to passing global warming legislation before. But it's been crushed by powerful and well-funded special interests (namely, the oil and coal industries) who put their profits over the health of the planet. With the passage of this bill from the committee, Big Oil and Coal have surely increased their efforts to block progress yet again.

We need your help TODAY – urge your representative to support quick passage of this landmark global warming legislation.

Once you've sent a letter, please help us make an even bigger impact by spreading the word to your friends and family and asking them to join you.

Thanks so much for your help with this important campaign. Our planet needs our help now, and this is our opportunity to truly make an impact.

Sincerely,

Michael Town
