Can you believe these guys? Sometimes it just boggles the mind how people can
be staring a problem like our climate crisis in the face and keep on playing
the same political games of the past. We have major proposals before the Senate
to start the process of real change in our energy production and use in this
country, and what amendment do the Republicans insist on bringing forward?
Drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
We'll fight that fight (again), but, amazingly, the Republicans' intransigence
goes even deeper. Last night we tried to start to bring amendments to the floor
to make the energy bill a true blueprint for a new future, and the Republicans
simply refused to vote up or down on the first amendment, essentially demanding
that any amendment have 60 votes to even be considered. The best science tells
us we have 10 years to act on climate change, and they waste time with stubborn
procedural roadblocks. And the Bush Administration tells Congress that it is
strongly opposed to ANY numerical requirements on vehicle miles-per-gallon
standards (CAFE standards).
But we have a Democratic leadership now, and we're fighting for change. In
particular, I'm fighting for an energy plan that includes three things as the
minimum to start to deal with our energy and climate crises:
a major increase in the efficiency of all sources and uses of energy, from
pickup trucks to fluorescent light bulbs, including raising the CAFE standard
for cars and light trucks to 35 mpg by 2020
dramatic incentives for all renewable energy sources, including the
requirement that at least 20% of our energy come from renewable sources like
wind and solar by 2020
A comprehensive plan to get clean coal technologies and carbon
sequestration off the drawing board and under construction
We can get a new direction, but there are many entrenched interests fight
change. As I've learned since I worked as an activist on the first Earth Day,
big environmental change only comes with the activism of the American people.
So, if you want Congress to deal with this major issue, please call your
Senator today and demand action on these priorities.
We're considering these amendments today, so pick up the phone and call
immediately.
Thank you,
John Kerry

Dear Theresa J.,
Help Charlie, John and Jon get their campaigns to a strong start!
Last November, you and hundreds of thousands of people in the WesPAC
community changed the direction of our country electing the first Democratic
Congress in a dozen years. You helped put an end to the rubberstamp Congress,
providing the critical check and balance to George W. Bush's radical agenda.
What I'm most proud of was adding the veterans to the House and Senate. The
voices of Chris Carney, Phil Hare, Patrick Murphy, Joe Sestak, Tim Walz, and
Jim Webb have changed the debate. Of course, they have help lead the debate on
Iraq and other national security issues, but they have also lent their unique
perspectives on critical issues like the minimum wage, health care, and ethics
reform.
I have one question for you: Can you do it again?
Today, I'm asking you to help provide the critical early funds to the campaigns
of three great veterans: Charlie Brown, John Boccieri, and Jon Powers.
Help launch Charlie, John, and Jon's campaigns. Contribute to their campaigns
today!

You may already know Charlie Brown, a 26-year military veteran who served
from Vietnam to the Gulf War. Charlie is once again challenging GOP incumbent
John Doolittle, who just can't seem to stay away from ethics scandals.
Doolittle's connections to Jack Abramoff and the influence-peddling scandal are
bad enough, but just recently, Doolittle was one of only 10 House members to
vote against legislation providing for House ethics probes of indicted
lawmakers.
In 2006, the WesPAC community's support carried Charlie to within 3 points of
Doolittle.
It's time to put Charlie over the top in 2008. Contribute to his campaign today!
http://www.actblue.com/page/doitagain
John Boccieri is in his first term as a member of the Ohio Senate for
District 33, and he's ready to help Democrats win one of our prime takeover
targets for the House: Ohio's 16 Congressional district.
John is currently a member of the Air Force Reserves, and he has been deployed
to Afghanistan and Iraq several times in recent years. While there, he has
witnessed up close the impacts of our country's involvement in these two
critical regions.
John is well positioned for victory in 2008, as he has already won four
elections in different parts of the 16th Congressional district.
Help John bring new leadership to Ohio's 16th Congressional District.
Contribute to his campaign today!
http://www.actblue.com/page/doitagain
Jonathan Powers is a decorated Iraq War veteran, schoolteacher and non-profit
leader. Jon leads by example, and he's ready to take his agenda to Washington,
DC, representing New York's 26th Congressional district.
Whether directing men and women in combat or shaping young minds, Jon continues
to be a leader who puts competence and problem-solving above anything else.
Unfortunately, Jon's opponent, Congressman Tom Reynolds, too often places
loyalty to his political party and the preservation of his own career ahead
of competence and accountability.
Jon has personally witnessed the situation on the ground in Iraq. He knows we
need to change the course in Iraq, and he knows he can do this by representing
his district and the American people in the House of Representatives.
Help bring competence and accountability to Congress. Contribute to Jon Powers'
campaign today!
http://www.actblue.com/page/doitagain
The power of thousands of people joining together for a common cause has been
one of the most important results of the development of the internet. I know
first-hand the effect of your support how it propels you and motivates you as
a candidate. I need you to do the same for Charlie, John, and Jon.
The June 30th fundraising deadline will be critical to their campaigns. Help
them make a statement by giving to their campaign today.
http://www.actblue.com/page/doitagain
Thank you for all you do for our country.
Sincerely,
Wes Clark
Support Charlie, John and Jon today!
