Action deadline: January 18, 2007 Dear Alan, **Urge your representative to support a bill to boost renewable energy and energy efficiency.**
It's way past time to end our nation's addiction to oil and to stop the global warming, habitat destruction and pollution which that bad habit causes. The House of Representatives is expected to vote on a bill this Thursday that would take a huge first step in that direction. It would repeal billions of dollars in subsidies for big oil and gas companies and instead invest the money in clean, green energy, like wind and solar power. The bill is one of the top priorities in the new House leadership's "first 100 legislative hours" agenda. The vote outcome is crucial because it will set the stage for the debate on energy policy and global warming during the next few months. ACT NOW: Send a free letter urging your representative to vote "yes" on the clean energy bill. * QUICK OPTION: If you only have a minute, send the message below, as is, by simply replying to this email. (This option works only if you received this email directly from the Conservation Action Network.) * POWERFUL OPTION: Personalize your letter.

You can make a huge difference for our endangered planet. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Hans Verolme Director Global Climate Change World Wildlife Fund ***************************LETTER TEXT************************** Dear (your representative's name will be inserted here), As a constituent concerned about global warming and our dependence on fossil fuels, I urge you to vote for the CLEAN Energy Act of 2007. This bill eliminates certain subsidies and tax breaks for oil and gas companies and redirects the resulting revenues toward renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. We desperately need these changes. Our current national energy policy places much too heavy an emphasis on boosting energy production using fossil fuels, rather than finding a balance between increasing energy output and reducing demand. And it contributes to global warming, one of the most pressing environmental problems of our time. Please pass this bill and move our country toward a safe, secure and sustainable energy future. Sincerely, Your name and address will be inserted here **************************END OF LETTER TEXT************************* Learn about WWF's work to curb global warming and how you can help: http://takeaction.worldwildlife.org/ctt.asp?u=30516&l=135839 _____________________________________________________________________ You received this message because [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an activist with the World Wildlife Fund Conservation Action Network. _____________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word REMOVE in the subject line or you can unsubscribe at http://takeaction.worldwildlife.org/unsubscribe/index.asp. _____________________________________________________________________ Direct any questions about the WWF Conservation Action Network to [EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________________________________________________ The Conservation Action Network is sponsored by World Wildlife Fund-US.
