Defend California's Clean Car Bill
Target: Major AutomakersSponsored by: Angelides 2006
Did you know that the world's biggest automakers sued California to stop the state's "Clean Car Bill" from going into effect? The bill would fight global warming by reducing the carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles in California by 30 percent!
The automakers use "green" marketing campaigns and some have introduced hybrid vehicles. But when it comes time to test their commitment to the environment, it's business as usual - now they are suing the state of California to stop real progress from taking place. Recently, self-described "green" automakers Honda and Nissan joined other manufacturers and signed onto the lawsuit.
Vehicle emissions contribute to global warming. And the scientific community overwhelmingly agrees that global warming has already created more smog, increased asthma and infectious disease rates, and reduced the number and size of our fresh water sources.
Yet still the automakers are putting up a fight. Sign the petition below and tell the automakers to call off their lawyers and drop the lawsuit.

The health of the citizens and of the environment as a whole, both for this generation and those to come, is far more important than short-term profits. Speaking of long-term profits, you in the auto industry should recognize that as the public's consciousness of the environmental crisis deepens, its demand for inefficient cars will drop. Consumers also need cars for which they can afford to fuel even during shortages with soaring prices. Thus, even considering the bare economics of the issue, opposition to the Clean Car Bill is short sighted and harmful to industry, the consumer, and the earth. With all respect I urge you to drop your lawsuit.
