Put Congressional Leaders in the Hot Seat

When the Democrats took over they promised bold action on global warming. Now halfway through the year and two weeks before the 4th of July recess, it appears that the first major action on energy in the House of Representatives will take us in the wrong direction. Instead of creating an energy bill that solves global warming, the legislation that has emerged thus far protects the auto and coal industry.

Chairmen John Dingell and Rick Boucher are proving to be poor leaders in the important fight to create sensible energy policies and to stop global warming. The chairmen of the House Energy and Commerce Committee are doing just the opposite of what the Democratic majority said they would do—push for smart energy policies and attack global warming head on.

America needs real leadership on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, not more of the same.

Take Action>>Tell Speaker Pelosi to use her power as Speaker of the House and get Congress back on track.

Dear Speaker Pelosi,

This year when the Democrats took over you promised bold action on global warming. Your leadership on this critical issue thrilled me. Now halfway through the year and two weeks before the 4th of July recess it appears that the first major action on energy in the House of Representatives will take us in the wrong direction. Instead of creating an energy bill that solves global warming, the legislation that has emerged so far protects the auto and coal industry. Chairmen John Dingell and Rick Boucher are proving to be poor leaders in the important fight to create sensible energy policies and to stop global warming. The chairmen are doing just the opposite of what you said the Democratic majority would do—push for smart energy policies and attack global warming head on. America needs real leadership on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, not more of the same. We are looking to you to use your power as Speaker of the House and get Congress back on track.

"Sincerely," and your name and contact information will be added to the end of the letter.
