Green Petition for Congress (also in Resources)
Hello,
My name is polar bear, and I'm a member of the Eugene/Springfield MoveOn.org Council.
MoveOn is gathering petitions in support of green businesses and green energy, to urge Congress to really get behind these parts of President Obama's budget requests.
Here's what the petition says:
I Stand for a New Energy Economy
To my members of Congress:
I'm involved with a small business. I stand with other small businesses and other leaders in our community in calling for bold action to shift us to a new energy economy.
We need strong energy efficiency programs, which will pay for themselves in lower electric bills. We need alternative energy sources to repower America with 100% clean, renewable, American electricity and fight the climate crisis. We need investments in mass transit. Together, these efforts can help create 5 million good, green jobs that can't be outsourced.
We can save the economy, reinvigorate local communities, and make America competitive for the 21st century.
I urge you to support President Obama's plan for a new energy economy. This year is the time to act, to put America on a new course for a clean energy future and a strong economy.
