Help put global warming at the top of the agenda for the Obama Administration
You can help ensure a new, clean energy future that addresses global warming and boosts the economy, too. Tell President Obama that you applaud his efforts to make energy a top priority. Sign the petition below. Please note: Once you have taken action, your message is sent to the policy maker and may become a part of the public record.
Dear [ Decision Maker ] , Dear President Obama, It's time to Repower, Refuel, and Rebuild America. We need to get our economy moving by building a clean energy future. In addition to restoring economic stability, such a program will help to address global warming and protect the public lands that are so essential to alleviating the effects of global warming. I applaud your efforts to make energy a top priority, and urge you to adopt these goals: - Move to 100% electricity from clean sources, such as wind and solar - Cut our dependence on oil in half - Create 5 million new clean energy jobs - Reduce global warming pollution by at least 80% I call on you to announce a plan in your first 100 days that will reach these goals and to use the federal budget and any economic recovery package to get us started.
Sincerely, |

| Background Information |
Wilderness areas we have fought so hard to protect are now at risk from the heat-trapping pollution pouring from our power plants, our factories and our cars. These lands are a source of clean water and fresh air. They store massive amounts of carbon within their trees and vegetation. They are also critically important for wildlife facing migration pressures as their habitat undergoes changes due to global warming.
By expressing your support for President Obama's plan to Repower, Refuel, and Rebuild America, you can help protect the lands that are essential to alleviating the effects of global warming. You'll also help ensure a clean energy future that moves the nation away from its dependence on fossil fuels.
