Our first test of 2009

 

Dear Friend, Wow. In the last 24 hours, more than 40,000 We members wrote to their members of Congress to support the groundbreaking clean energy investments so central to the economic recovery bill. That's incredible. The bill just cleared its first hurdle with yesterday's passage through the House. But it means our messages to the Senate in the next few days could be pivotal. Can you send a quick note to your Senators today? It's easy, just click here. Cathy P.S. Yesterday, Alliance Chairman Al Gore testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about the dangerous and growing threat of the climate crisis. The members of the Committee were captivated. Watch it here. ------------------------------ Dear Cathy, Today, I will be testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about repowering America and the need for us to resume global leadership on the climate crisis. As you know, it's a critical time in our country and we all have a role to play. I've recorded a short video message to share my perspective on what's at stake right now. Take a moment and please watch it. In Congress, our leaders are debating an economic recovery package. It includes unprecedented support for putting Americans back to work building a clean energy economy. But entrenched interests in Washington will be working hard to weaken the legislation -- opposing funding for clean energy programs that support things like wind, solar, energy efficiency and a new national electric grid. As members of Congress work out the details of a bill that can pass both the House and the Senate, it's important that you let each of your elected representatives know that you want the recovery to be about repowering America. You and I know that continuing with the status quo will not revitalize the U.S. economy. Please make sure your elected officials know, too. Watch the video and send a quick note to Congress: http://www.RepowerAmerica.org/RecoveryVideo Today, we can start to get America back on track. Thanks for everything, Al Gore www.RepowerAmerica.org   RepowerAmerica.org |  Privacy Policy |  Donate
