Fw: (CMEP-list) Energy Bill Update / Action Alert / Group Letter

[Guest guest]

FYI!

My personal opinion is the more our representatives hear from us on all

issues important to all of us; the more likely they may be to pay attention

to our opinions and/or requests related to FDA and Breast Implant Issues!

House and Senate conferees continue to work towards a compromise on energy

legislation, despite broad opposition from their colleagues as well as

consumer and environmental groups, and concerned citizens across the

country. Although Congress has now recessed until after the elections, this

disastrous bill could still be passed as part of a lame-duck session later

in November.

For more information about the energy bill, see:

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES, AND URGE THEIR OPPOSITION

TO THE ENERGY BILL, H.R. 4.!

payout bill!

[text of letter:]

To the Members of the 107th Congress:

As environmental, public interest, and consumer organizations, we strongly

urge you not to pass a harmful, regressive energy bill out of conference

committee this congress. While H.R. 4 is packed with numerous incentives for

destructive polluters, it does virtually nothing to advance conservation and

efficiency in this country, or meaningfully promote safe, clean and

affordable renewable energies.

If passed, this bill would include handouts and subsidies to some of the

wealthiest corporations in this country. Do not give billions of dollars to

the oil, nuclear, and coal industries at the expense of your constituents'

health, safety, and tax dollars. We urge you to defeat the energy bill.

Sincerely,

[list of organizations]
