Help Save Our Environment

If you are going to do this, do it within the next 3 days please. And if it doesn't pass, let me know how I can get in on some of that $31 billion in subsidies!

I just challenged this Congress to use its first 100 hours to work towards a cleaner energy future and to stop taxpayer subsidies to the oil industry. Will you join me?

This week the 110th Congress will be sworn in on Capitol Hill with new priorities and goals for 2007 and beyond.
The good news is that soon-to-be Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has stated that one of her top agenda items will be to cut the most outrageous taxpayer hand outs to Big Oil passed by the previous Congress. The House will invest the savings in efficiency and renewable energy.
If we are going to reduce our dependence on oil and protect the environment, we cannot afford to continue to squander billions in taxpayer handouts to Big Oil. According to a recent report by Friends of the Earth, "oil and gas companies continue to benefit from billions in handouts courtesy of American taxpayers. Between tax incentives, royalty relief, research and development subsidies, these companies will receive more than $31.6 billion from the federal government over the next five years."
With your help, we can ensure the success of the first step in the fight to reduce our dependence on oil, create a cleaner energy future, and reduce global warming.

Please join me in telling Congress that we do not want our tax money lining the pockets of Big Oil any longer. Write your Representative today urging him or her to support clean energy legislation in the first 100 hours of the new Congress.http://ga3.org/campaign/new_congress
