Act Now to Create Green Jobs and End America's Addiction to Oil
Submitted by Kevin Olp on June 26, 2009 - 7:57am. Energy
On Monday, June 22, private lobbying efforts that were sponsored by wealthy oil investors and out-of-state interests tried to give hot air balloon rides to Montanans to protest legislation that would create incentives to develop renewable energy and clean energy jobs. Ironically, their efforts were grounded by Montana's abundant and clean energy resource: wind power.
Reject the lies put forth by allies of big oil about the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES)! It's time America's leaders listened to someone besides big oil - like America's hard-working families and workers. Americans want real change and secure and sustainable jobs that will deliver clean and affordable energy to consumers. That's what ACES will deliver.
Ask Montana's Congressman and Senators to make America a world leader in clean energy, to restore American jobs, and stop the carbon pollution that is hurting our way of life.
E-mail Congressman Dennis Rehberg, or call his office at (202.225.3211) and urge him to vote "YES" on HR 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES).
Once passed by the House, this bill will move quickly to the Senate. Urge Senator Max Baucus and Senator Jon Tester now to work for strengthened climate legislation that includes key components of the House version. Visit:
Sen. Max Baucus, or e-mail: max@baucus.senate.gov or call: 202.224.2651
Sen. Jon Tester, or e-mail: jon@tester.senate.gov or call: 202.224.2644
