<div>THANKS to Public Citizen, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and
Rainforest Alliance for standing up and telling the truth about this
bill. We have been duped, defrauded, deceived, sold down the
river.....LS</div>

<div><b>URGENT ALERT</b><br>
<br>
Dear Lorna,<br>
<br>
As expected, the House Energy and Commerce Committee approved climate
change legislation last night and sent it along in the legislative
process. We strongly urge lawmakers to make major overhauls to this
bill or go back to the drawing board.<br>
<br>
The problem? Oil, coal and nuclear industries had far too much say in
its shaping, and it shows.<br>
<br>
<b>Now more than ever,</b> <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=D8Cbiki%2BOQln0m8r%2Bj9033RwLVMFTM4h"><b><span></span>Public
Citizen needs you to tell your
representatives</b></a><b> that climate change legislation should not
be weakened by the corrupting influence of big money.</b><br>
<br>
Those who say this bill is the best the legislative process can
produce are wrong: The American people demanded strong climate
legislation, and polluters are subverting these goals. <br>
<br>
Public Citizen supports strong, effective climate legislation, but
this bill won't achieve it. We can talk about hoping to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions significantly, but this bill won't do it.<br>
<br>
It creates a legal right to pollute for industries and gives away
credits for free to allow companies to meet those targets without
having to pay for them. That is not going to spur the kind of
investments we need.<br>
<br>
We must act fast to influence lawmakers to fix this piece of
legislation. <a moz-do-not-send="true"

loud and clear over those of the oil, coal and nuclear

"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers,
having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and
that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed
law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most
beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being,
evolved."</div>
