[PAA-Discuss] Tell Inhofe: Get out of the way

[Juli3 at aol.com]

Don't let Sen.  Inhofe stall clean energy legislation.

He has  power 
and influence – 
but so do  you.

_Tell Inhofe we won't let him stonewall  clean energy and good  jobs._

Dear Juli, 
Here's the good news: President-elect Barack Obama has  vowed to invest in 
clean energy and good jobs – he's asked  Congress to have a bill ready for him 
on the day he takes  office. 
The bad news: A small group of powerful  legislators, backed by Big Oil 
lobbyists, is bent on derailing our  new energy future.  
Leading them is Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), who's called  global warming the 
"greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American  people" and labeled clean 
energy supporters like you  "extremist". 
As the top Republican on a key Senate committee,  Sen. Inhofe wields enormous 
influence in deciding our energy  future. But so do you. 


_Tell Sen. Inhofe and his buddies not to  stall the clean energy plan America 
voted for in  November._ 
(http://ga0.org/campaign/inhofecampaign_1208/wu6x6779rkbmtx3?)  
We can see change coming. The President-elect and other new  leaders in 
Washington are ready to re-power our economy. There's a  real chance now that we 
can end our addiction to fossil fuels and  put Americans to work with good, 
green jobs. 
But we know Big Oil has the money, influence, and friends  like Inhofe to 
throw up roadblocks at every turn. Their war chest  is enormous – the three 
largest U.S. oil companies raked in $71.2  billion in profits so far in 2008 – and 
some have upped  their spending on lobbyists by more than 70% this year.   
They're already pressuring our leaders with everything  they've got.  
Key lawmakers like Inhofe will make critical decisions  about whether Big 
Oil's dirty fingerprints are all over our future  energy policy. If we can show 
that America is watching –  with thousands of letters from people like you – 
we can curb their  back-room dealing. 
Americans demand an economic recovery that moves us into  the future – one 
built on clean energy and millions of  green-collar jobs. For obstructionists 
like Inhofe, it's time to  stand down. 
_Tell Sen. Inhofe that his partisan  stonewalling won't solve our energy 
problems or the economic  crisis – but clean energy and good jobs will.  _ 
(http://ga0.org/campaign/inhofecampaign_1208/wu6x6779rkbmtx3?)  
With a groundswell of support for a new direction in energy  policy, we can 
make obstructionists like Inhofe irrelevant. It's  time for change – and you 
and I can clear the way. 
Thanks for taking action. 

Sincerely, 
Phil Angelides
Chairman
