Dear Theresa J.,
Sign on as a citizen co-sponsor of the Sanders/Boxer global
warming bill!
Today I am asking you to put yourselves in my shoes for a minute and do
something we Senators do -- co-sponsor a bill.
To be exact, I am asking you to be a citizen co-sponsor of the strongest
global warming bill in the Senate -- the Sanders/Boxer bill, S.309, which has
twelve Senate sponsors so far.
By signing on as a citizen co-sponsor, you will help me show my colleagues in
Congress -- and all Americans -- the kind of support that exists for
ground-breaking legislation that will really fight global warming. Can I count
on your support, right now?
Sign on as a citizen co-sponsor of the Sanders/Boxer global warming bill now!
Over the coming weeks, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee will
continue to hold hearings on legislative approaches to combat global warming.
An increase in temperature of just 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit from today's levels
could eventually mean widespread flooding of coastal areas in our country,
Europe, Asia, and all over the globe. It also will mean more frequent extreme
weather conditions like hurricanes, heat waves, and droughts, evidence of which
we're already starting to see. What's more, global warming left unchecked
could become a major cause of unrest and war, with hungry refugees adding to
the nightmarish scenarios that come with water shortages, floods, food
insecurity, and increased disease.
The time to act is now. As Al Gore has pointed out, global warming may be an
inconvenient truth, but nonetheless it is the truth. Now we must do what
Americans have always done when faced with a broad challenge -- face it and
act. And I say act with hope not fear.
Sign on as a citizen co-sponsor of the Sanders/Boxer bill now!
The Sanders/Boxer bill addresses the global warming challenge head-on.
Sanders/Boxer is the only bill that will truly work economy-wide, and it's been
endorsed by a huge coalition of environmental organizations.
Here are just a few of the many critical things that our bill will do:
Reduce U.S. emissions to meet a worldwide greenhouse gas stabilization goal
of 450 parts per million
Allow for a "cap and trade" program
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars by 30% by 2016
Create a research & development program on global warming
Require utilities to generate or purchase an increasing amount of renewable
energy
Now we need to get moving. There are several alternative bills in the Senate,
but none of them go as far as the Sanders/Boxer legislation does. So we need
more Senate co-sponsors -- and to do that, I need to get as many citizen
co-sponsors (you and everyone you know!) to sign on.
One week before Earth Day, which comes on April 22nd, I will announce the
number of citizen co-sponsors we have gathered, giving me a huge push forward
as I approach my colleagues and enlist their support for Sanders/Boxer over the
other measures.
As Chair of the Senate Environment Committee, I've been doing all I can
through the hearing process to work with my colleagues on detailing the facts.
But now it is up to all of us to keep the pressure on to pass the strongest,
most effective global warming bill possible -- and to ensure that this will be
a major issue in the next presidential election.
By becoming a citizen co-sponsor you will be the wind at my back and give me
the momentum I need to get more Senate sponsors for S.309. And that will keep
this whole issue moving forward.
So please help. Sign on as a citizen co-sponsor of the Sanders/Boxer bill now!
Thank you for always being there for me.
In Friendship,
Barbara Boxer
U.S. Senator
P.S. It will only take a minute, but it will really make a huge difference.
Please sign on as a citizen co-sponsor of the Sanders/Boxer global warming bill
now. I need your support as I lobby the rest of my Senate colleagues for their
support.
