FYI

Dear Patricia ,

Like you and me, the vast majority of Americans want urgent, bold action
on climate change. But as recent political showdowns from Washington,
D.C. to last week's G8 summit have proven, our elected leaders are
simply not ready to step up and do what science demands to beat global
warming.

Right now, Members of Congress are planning trips home to their
districts (including yours!) for August recess. They'll be home for the
entire month of August, and with the fall elections just around the
corner, most will be campaigning hard for our votes.

This recess is our chance to convince every Member of Congress that
America is ready for bold climate solutions. The path to a prosperous
and equitable new energy economy is clear -- we simply need our leaders
to act.

Once you sign up, we'll work with you to figure out the best way to
deliver the message to your particular district office: It could be a
district office visit, a rally, or some other type of action. If you've
never visited your Congressional office or put together a visibility
event, don't worry--we'll provide you with all the information you'll
need.

Thanks to your commitment and passion over the past few months, and your
visits to Congressional offices in all 50 states in March, we've already
made great strides in our quest for bold federal policy. From recent
meetings we've had on Capitol Hill, we know that several Members of
Congress are making proposals that would promote clean, renewable energy
and a healthier environment, revive our economy, and lift millions out
of poverty.

This progress is good--but we're running out of time. The latest science
tells us we have just a few years to start turning things around, or it
will be too late. We must continue to press our leaders to do what the
science requires and take decisive action. Sign up today to visit your
local Congressional office:

Heading into a historic election, the American people are hungry for
leadership and concrete solutions to the climate crisis. Your Members
of Congress will be in "listening mode" while they campaign at home.
Let's be sure they know that the solutions are here and America is
ready!
