Vice President Al Gore is requesting everyone's help...
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 10:47 PM by YvonneCa
...on the energy legislation in Congress this week. He needs us to make phone calls. I just did...and sent emails. Anyone else??? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ! !

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Dear XXXX,

I need your help. Will you make a call?

Congress will consider energy legislation this week. Of course, the oil industry is pushing its "drill, drill" slogan with all its might -- and some are hoping to use this for political advantage.

Meanwhile, tax credits for investments in solar and wind power have not been extended, and the growing renewables business that just made America the largest producer of wind power in the world, is on the verge of shutting down huge planned projects all over the country.

Billions in private investment, thousands of megawatts of new, clean energy, and more than 100,000 new jobs expected for 2009 will be lost.

We face a stark choice: subsidize old, dirty energy or invest in new, clean energy. This should be easy, but the influence of the oil lobby is deep -- they've already spent more than $100 million in lobbying and advertising this year. Please call your members of Congress now and tell them to pass legislation that will Repower America.

Click here to find out how to call.

Washington is being diverted by all the political noise around "drill, drill" away from what really will make a difference -- building a new, clean energy future. Projects in the pipeline that will power millions of homes will be canceled, setting us back for years, if Congress doesn't do the right thing now. Congress needs to hear from all of us.

Click here to make a quick call today.

Thank you so much,

Al Gore

2. Thank god for Pelosi and Reid ... they are like a real bad offensive line and just can't hold
anything up. They must absolutely be ejected from leadership roles.

10. It's election fraud, not...
...vote fraud. How it's even in the realm of possibility to blame a DEMOCRAT...especially Al Gore...for the mess we are now in is beyond me.

I think VP Al Gore knows what he is doing. JMHO. I support him.

13. No, we should tell the entire party to fight back against election fraud
Edited on Wed Sep-10-08 06:24 PM by politicasista
It's amazing that people expect only Gore and Kerry to solve the election problems all by themselves without any party support instead of blaming the ones who are in charge of this (i.e. the states, etc).

11. Already done this AM.
I was listening to the radio on the way in to work and it made me so mad I called the only one I've got that even *might* not vote the oil company party line.

12. Thanks for this post
I received the email but like so many it was glossed over and never read.

I just left voicemails for my Senators. My congressman doesn't allow voicemail it seems so I will be calling him tomorrow.

16. You are welcome. I've had the same experience...
...when calling sometimes. Let's hope they do that because they are getting so many calls from the 'WE' campaign. :7
