BREAKING NEWS: Cleaner Cars on the Way!

Dear Daniel, Take Action: Thank the Obama Administration for Cleaner Cars. Moments ago, EPA's new fuel economy standards were finalized. This is big news. Our cars account for 40 percent of all U.S. oil consumption and nearly 20% of all U.S. carbon pollution. But now, all of that can change. Voice your support for these new rules! Thank the Obama Administration for finalizing these standards. These new standards will reduce oil consumption by 2.2 million barrels a day, and reduce carbon pollution by more than 6 billion metric tons. Not to mention that it will save car owners $8,000 in fuel costs over the lifetime of a vehicle. Americans want cleaner cars. And 41,065 EDF activists like you took the time to send comments in support of these standards. Your activism has paid off in full! There is still much work to be done to reduce our dependence on oil and our dangerous carbon emissions, but today's announcement is an important step forward. That's not leadership. And it's not a way to solve differences between countries about pollution. Please thank President Obama for standing up for better gas mileage, less oil, and a safer climate future! Thank you for your activism and support, Heather Shelby Action Network Coordinator         Share this message on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. Tell your friends about EDF.

Victory Bonds: We have a bill!

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: "Green America" <coopamericanews@coopamerica.org>

Subject: Victory Bonds: We have a bill!
To: "Daniel A. Stafford" <aquarianm@gmail.com>

Dear Daniel A. Stafford, We have a bill! On August 2, our Clean Energy Victory Bond bill was introduced in Congress.  And as of today, the Library of Congress has published the Clean Energy Victory Bonds Act of 2012, the culmination of several years of hard work here at Green America, and the support of clean-energy advocates like you all across the country. Just like World War II era victory bonds enabled ordinary Americans to raise billions of dollars for the war effort, these new bonds are projected to raise enough money to generate 1.7 million new jobs manufacturing, deploying, and maintaining renewable energy projects. This bill ends the financial uncertainty around current federal programs, extending the imperiled Production Tax Credit for wind energy -- and other renewable energy incentives -- for as long as a decade. Big thanks to Rep. Bob Filner (D, CA), who is sponsoring the bill, along with 10 co-sponsors, and big thanks to more than 40 other organizations* who are backing the bill with us. Now we need to get this bill passed. Here's where your support is crucial. This is what we need you to do: 1. Call your representative -- Look up your representative's telephone number here, give their office a call, and tell them that you enthusiastically support H.R. 6275, the Clean Energy Victory Bonds Act of 2012. If you would be willing to to buy some of these savings bonds (as little as $25 is enough), tell them that too. We need to rapidly bolster bi-partisan support for this job-creating, renewable-energy-boosting bill. 2. Pledge to buy the bonds -- If you haven't already signed on at cleanenergyvictorybonds.org as a future purchaser of the bonds after the legislation passes, please do so right now. We need to be able to show clearly that these bonds have the support of the American people in every congressional district in the country.  It's a win-win-win. You support clean energy and American jobs, you put some of your money away in a savings bond, and when they mature in 10 years, you'll get back the purchase price plus interest. 3. Tell your friends -- This part is key! We need to rapidly spread awareness of this bill. Everyone who hears about this strategy loves it, because the bonds advance goals that both Republicans and Democrats can get behind. If you have ever thought about forwarding an e-mail from Green America to your entire address book, this is the e-mail to forward. Tell your friends to sign on at cleanenergyvictorybonds.org, and post a link to the site on your Facebook page. Tweet about it, blog about, tell your neighbor over the fence. However you communicate with others, please share the news of this bill. This might just be the most exciting project Green America has ever worked on. Thank you so much for being a part of it. Here's to a clean-energy victory, Alisa Gravitz Executive Director Green America P.S. Please consider a donation to our Clean Energy Victory Bonds campaign. With your help, we can pass this bill. *Thanks to all the organizations that are supporting this bill: 350.org, American Sustainable Business Council, Center for American Progress, ConservAmerica, Ceres, Calvert Investments, The Change, Clean Edge, Clean Yield, Cleantech Institute, Climate Bonds Initiative, Ethical Markets, LLC, Franciscan Action Network, Green Choice Bank, Green for All, GreenandProfitable.com, Kansas Energy Information Network, Kenergy Solar, EcoOptions, Ltd, Lazarus Financial Planning, Natural Investments, New Resource Bank, New Voice of Business, Pax World Funds, Rural Renewable Energy Alliance, and Self Help.
