Activists around the country are joining together on Thursday, April 29 to call their senators and demand a real climate bill - one that protects people and the planet, not polluters.
 |
An energy bill being drafted by Senators John Kerry, Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman would reportedly roll back the Clean Air Act and contain large loopholes and polluter giveaways, all in exchange for pollution restrictions far weaker than what scientists say are needed to protect our climate. However, Senator Graham recently pulled his support for the bill, which provides us with a new opportunity to call for something better.
Will you join us tomorrow by participating in this important event?
1) Call the offices of your state's two U.S. senators, one at a time, via the congressional switchboard, at (202) 224-3121.
2) Once you have someone on the phone, deliver the following message:
"Hi, this is _NAME_ calling from _TOWN, CITY OR COUNTY_. I would like to relay my concerns about the Kerry-Graham-Lieberman energy bill, which Sen. Kerry has indicated would roll back the Clean Air Act and contain loopholes and polluter giveaways. Since Senator Graham has pulled his support from the bill, the Senate has an opportunity to go a different direction. I urge it to do so. Please pass a real climate bill -- one that maintains all existing Clean Air Act protections. A climate bill should protect people and planet, not polluters. Can I count on _SENATOR_ to pledge to support such a bill, and oppose any Clean Air Act rollbacks?"
