Energy Bill In Congress - SEND AN EMAIL

There is finally an energy bill in congress worth caring about:

As of Wednesday night, the House was set to begin debate on the energy bill, S.2191. Possible features of the bill include:

* Electricity and renewable fuel requirements--power companies would have to produce at least 15 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020
* A repeal of tax incentives for oil and gas companies worth about thirteen and a half billion dollars
* Extending tax credits for renewable energy such as wind and geothermal
* An increase in the clean-coal tax credit

It is time to make the change into the future. With the largest Nuclear
plant (The Sun) circling our globe every day, we do not need to be
poisoning the earth with CO2, and other bi-products.

Tell them to stop supporting the billionaire oil barons and start working for the
People!!!!

Tell them to vote to Pass, and do not veto, the Energy Bill, S.2191.

Get out and Vote

Hello All,

Just a brief note. If you are registered to vote, please get out and do so on November 7th. I know there is apathy out there, but I think this time we have a real shot at restoring some balance to this government. We are in a serious crisis in this country: a time where one man (and his gang) have seen to an insane expansion of presidential power. We are moving closer to a dictatorship than we have seen since the birth of this nation.

I know none of these guys are perfect, far from perhaps, but we need balance; it’s a numbers game.

Restore the balance. Learn about your candidates. Vote Democrat. Make a difference.
