MoveOn.org is sponsoring a petition to Congress in support of the green businesses, jobs, and energy parts of President Obama's budget. Here is the text of the petition and a link.
Self-employed people are included in this, and you do not have to currently be working in a green field, or manage or own a green business; you only need to support your tax money going to these efforts. Because many Congressmen, especially the "New" Democrats and/or the Blue Dogs, are opposed to some of these measures, I urge you to sign this petition, and let your Representatives and Senators know that you want them to get behind the President's green programs to the fullest.
Thank you so much!
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.
