The U.S. Needs Strong Climate Protection Legislation, Now

For the first time in years new legislation has been introduced in the US Senate that takes on the climate crisis. The U.S. lags behind much of the rest of the world in admitting to and dealing with it's responsibility towards cleaning up this global mess. We need action. Now!
U.S. Senators; please co-sponsor S. 329 and S. 332.

Why is this important?

The climate crisis is no longer a myth. From unpredictable and severe storms, crop failure, drought, and flooding, to rising tides, drowning islands, and thousands of acres of forests on fire....we need strong climate legislation from the U.S. government. Now.

The fossil fuel industry is rampantly mining and drilling more of the antiquated (dinosaur) forms of fuel that have been largely responsible for the planet's current climate crisis. We can do better!

This February, Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced The Climate Protection Act of 2013 (S.332) and The Sustainable Energy Act (S.329). These acts need co-sponsors from as many Senators as possible in order for them to reach the Senate floor for a vote, and then to advance to the House for their vote. We can do this.

According to Sen. Sanders his climate change legislation would help business,create jobs, and save billions of dollars on disaster relief. "The price that America can not afford to pay is the price of doing nothing to reverse global warming", he states.

Please sign this petition to let your lawmakers know that we are serious about national climate legislation and that as voters we are watching them.

Thank you.

P.S. Nothing says -' we are serious and we vote' - than a personal visit with your lawmaker. Consider getting friends together to visit them at their district offices when they are back home in your area. Ask your Senators to co-sponsor S.329 and S.332. Inform your House Reps that you expect action from them on this as well.
