Take Action Now!

The Senate is now considering legislation to address climate change. We urge you to contact your Senators and ask them to support the CLEAR Act introduced by Senators Cantwell and Collins. Here's a sample letter:

Dear Senator _____,

I am writing to ask you to support and co-sponsor the Carbon Limits and Energy for American Renewal (CLEAR) Act, introduced by Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Susan Collins (R-ME). The CLEAR Act auctions permits to fuel producers and returns 75% of the resulting revenue in checks to every American. With its "cap and dividend" approach, this bill would help the U.S. make a fair, affordable transition to a clean-energy, low-carbon economy, and avoid the pitfalls of other climate bills that pander to the coal-burning utilities and Wall Street traders.

With its "simplicity, transparency and equity," CLEAR creates an economy-wide carbon price, is revenue-neutral to the government, and provides economic stimulus through dividends to households.

Please support CLEAR and please let me know what you are doing to support this important bill.

Sincerely,

Write or call the offices of Senators Feinstein and Boxer and ask them to co-sponsor the CLEAR Act.

Senator Barbara Boxer Washington, D.C. Office:	Senator Dianne Feinstein Washington, D.C. Office:
112 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 (202) 224-3553 Email Senator Boxer	331 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C 20510-0504 (202) 224-3841 Email Senator Feinstein

Reminder: In this era of digital media, email and online petitions, the handwritten, stamped, and snail-mailed letter has more significance than ever.
