For too long, powerful monopoly utility companies have used their enormous wealth and influence to shape state and federal energy policies to benefit corporate shareholders, often at the expense of customers.
Solar United Neighbors is calling on elected representatives and candidates to sign on to the non-partisan "Represent Us, Not Utilities" Pledge. The pledge stands up for our solar rights by calling on decision makers to refuse campaign donations from monopoly electric utilities, their Political Action Committees, lobbyists, or executives.
By signing the pledge, these decision makers will be declaring their independence from powerful special interests, and they will be sending a strong and clear message that they will represent the people's interests when they consider energy policies that may come before them in the legislative process.
You can help us by urging your elected representatives and candidates to "Represent Us, Not Utilities". Take action today!
The pledge is simple:
"To maintain independence from monopoly utility interests and to avoid the perception of undue influence on my positions concerning energy policies, I will take no money or gifts from monopoly utilities, their Political Action Committees, lobbyists, or executives."
