Tell Your Senators Why America Needs a Strong Climate Bill

Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund

The U.S. House passed a landmark bill that would for the first time set a legal limit on America's global warming pollution. Now all eyes are on the Senate where the climate legislation is expected this Fall.

But the right wing is obsessed with fighting this legislation and have pulled out all the stops. Since announcing her resignation, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has joined forces with ExxonMobil, Rush Limbaugh and other climate obstructionists and will undoubtedly resurrect the right-wing "Drill-Baby-Drill" mantra!

America has a clear choice. We can follow Palin and the extreme right or unleash a clean energy future. Now is the time to end the threat of run-away global warming. Sign the petition and urge your Senators to support the strongest possible global warming bill!

I understand that the Senate will be taking up global warming legislation this Fall. As your constituent, I am writing today to strongly urge you to support a strong bill that sets a legal limit to reduce America's global warming pollution by at least 80% by 2050.

[Your comment will be inserted here]

Scientists warn we have very little time to begin cutting our emissions. A reduction in climate pollution of 80% by 2050 is what the science demands if we are to avoid the risk of catastrophic global warming with devastating consequences for people and the planet.

With international climate negotiations scheduled to begin in Copenhagen this December, we need to show the world that the U.S. is ready to lead on this issue. Failure to move a strong global warming bill will undermine international global warming negotiations and set us back years. This is precious time we cannot afford to waste if we are to effectively solve the climate crisis.

In my lifetime so far (64 years) I have observed and experienced a decline in the blueness of the sky, breathability of the air, pure tap water, etc. This is more than a trend ... it is a tragedy.

Out of simple national self-interest. We need to save Florida, New York and other low-elevation areas. Imagine evacuating half of Florida...would make Katrina look very minor.

I fwe continue on the path we are on now, the future generations of not only this country, but this planet will have to pay for our mistakes. We are in dire need of a climate bill. We cannot let the idiocicy of some people, namingly Palin and Limbaugh, to stand in the way of that. If they would only open their eyes and see the destruction their theory is causing to our planet. Their ideas are absurb and are basically a waste of air. Please don not allow yourself to listen to such stupidity. This is a matter of the upmost important and we need a strong climate bill today. The ball is in your court, please don't make the wrong play.
