Last week, your representative voted against comprehensive climate and energy legislation. Fortunately, the House of Representatives still voted to pass this landmark bill, which establishes a critical first step that would put in place a nationwide plan to rein in global warming pollution and create an entirely new, cleaner approach to our nation's energy system.

Powerful threats from climate skeptics, big oil, and other fossil fuel special interests successfully lobbied your representative against this legislation. Please write today to convey your disappointment in your representative’s vote against the American Clean Energy and Security Act. Tell your representative to stand up for reducing our dependence on oil, putting Americans back to work, and protecting future generations from the worst effects of global warming.
