From the folks at environmentcalifornia.org doing their best to make California green.
In California, we are working to triple our use of wind and solar power — and that vote is imminent. Meanwhile in Congress, the Senate is taking up the global warming bill, which if passed, would revolutionize how we get electricity.
With all the troubles in Sacramento and Washington, D.C., it’s going to take extra public support to pass these groundbreaking measures.
But I have an idea to bring some much-needed visibility to the energy debate unfolding right now in both Sacramento and Washington, D.C. — set up a giant windmill in cities across California.
We’re taking a 14-foot windmill on tour, holding events all over the state. Can you donate $25 to help support the windmill tour?
Here’s our plan:
* Take our 14-foot windmill across the state, holding events in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and finishing up in Sacramento.
* Gather thousands of petition signatures at these events and deliver them to lawmakers in Sacramento.
* Get hundreds of people to call their legislators while at these events.
All of this will cost about $10,000 — and that’s why I need your special support today.
The truth is, we need to up the ante. The opposition — utilities and oil coal companies — is fighting dirty.
Front groups, funded by coal companies have been sending members of Congress forged letters, pretending to be from groups like NAACP, telling them to oppose the global warming bill. Five new such letters were discovered this week.1
It seems that opponents from the fossil fuel industry will stop at nothing to make sure that any attempt to stop global warming and invest in clean energy fails. It’s our future they’re messing with.
That’s where you and I come in. We can show overwhelming support for clean energy.
Whether your donation is $25 or $250, your support brings a new energy future one step closer:
