~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

It's Crunch Time! Call your congressional representative tomorrow!
And call Lloyd Doggett to thank him, too. 
June 15th, 2009

Urgent! Please contact your representative--and then thank Cong. Lloyd
Doggett!
 
 
 
On Saturday, members of the Texas Climate Emergency Team had a conversation
with Congressman Lloyd Doggett of Austin about the American Clean Energy and
Security Act, also known as the Waxman-Markey bill. He expressed his
frustration with the bill, that it was too weak, that it did not address the
real problems of climate change, and that it did not fulfill the earlier
promises for the bill. Most significantly, he told us that he would work to
delay consideration of the bill on the House floor so that testimony could
be offered with the goal of strengthening its provisions.
 
We need to support Congressman Doggett in this endeavor. Regardless of where
you live in Texas, please call his office, (202) 202-225-4865, and tell his
aides that you support Congressman Doggett's effort to delay consideration
on the bill until it can be fully discussed and debated, in the hopes of
strengthening its provisions.
 
Then call your own congressperson (numbers below) and tell him or her that
you want these provisions from the bill strengthened:
1)you want deeper cuts in carbon emissions, to match what climate scientists
are calling for--25 to 40% below 1990 levels
2)you want 100% auctions of pollution credits, bringing more money back to
the people from the big corporations
3)you want fewer offsets, which make it possible for polluters to pollute
more
 
 
Tell your congressional representative, too, that you fully support
Congressman Lloyd Doggett's efforts to get a fair hearing for the bill on
the full House floor, and that you believe consideration should be delayed
until that happens. 
 
Time is running out--on the bill, on the chances for success in the UN
conference in Copenhagen, and on the future of our planet. The bill could go
to a vote as soon as a week from tomorrow.  We learned today that the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce is going to pour $100 million dollars into defeating
this bill and the healthcare bill. It's hard to keep up with those numbers!
All we have are our voices---and we must take action now!
