Call to Action!

THANKS TO YOUR CALLS AND EFFORTS we had big wins on solar and wind incentives in the stimulus bill.

Now we are building on those wins with the energy bills moving their way through Congress.

A key goal is the Renewable Electricity Standard, known as the R.E. S.

This would set a minimum of solar, wind and other clean energy across the US: 15% by 2021. This is not as high a standard as we were hoping for, but it a good step in the right direction.

Unfortunately, we are two votes shy of this passing. We need the votes of Evan Bayh and Blanche Lincoln, both Democrats, by TOMORROW to pass this critical legislation in the Senate.

Please help us by calling their offices TOMORROW - THURSDAY MAY 21, 2009 from 9AM to 4PM eastern.

Senator Evan Bayh:
(202) 224-5623
Chief of staff: Tom Sugar

Senator Blanche Lincoln:
(202) 224-4843
Chief of staff: Elizabeth Burks

Sorry for the last-minute note, but this gap just developed and we have been called on to to close it.

When you call, please state the following:

1. Thank them for their past support of renewable energy.

2. Urge them to vote YES on R.E.S so that we can have a healthier, more secure country and future with more solar, wind and geothermal.

The staff are ready for these calls so don't be shy - make your voice heard and give them a call. Ask for the chief of staff or other staffer who handles R.E.S. Each call will only take one minute.

Your future will thank you!

Please post back to the facebook group after you call to encourage others to add their voices.

Jack and the team
