Right now, the Senate is working on the economic recovery bill passed by the House. It’s a pivotal chance to invest in green projects, such as public transit and energy efficiency, which will jump-start our economy and lay the foundations of a clean energy America.
But much of the $100 billion-plus in green projects passed in the House is now endangered in the Senate. Opponents of the stimulus and the fossil fuel lobby are proposing large cuts to those green projects—so your senators need to hear from you today. Call your senators and tell them to keep the recovery package green!
When you call, tell your senators how they can keep the recovery green:
• Invest more in public transit – This will save Americans millions of dollars in gas, create more jobs and cut pollution;
• Invest more in energy efficiency – It’s the fastest way to save money on energy, reduce our dependence on dirty fossil fuels and create jobs right away.
To call your senators, simply fill out the form on the right. We'll use that information to look up your senators.
Once you click the "Call Now" link on one of the names, your phone will ring. Answer the call, and after a brief message, we'll connect you directly with your senator’s office—free of charge. We’ll also give you some discussion points to help make your call successful. Please call both of your senators, and after each call let us know whom you spoke with and what they said.
The Senate needs to hear from you now, while it’s still early in the process. Your call could make all the difference in passing a recovery package that lays the foundation for a new, clean energy economy that works for all. Call both your senators today!
