A Special Message From Al Gore on Earth Day
Nobel laureate and former Vice President, Al Gore, has a very important message for all of us on Earth Day. It’s about petitioning our Congress to pass green energy legislation that will ultimately jump-start the economy and help solve the environmental crisis both in the states and around the world. We need your support.
An email letter from Mr. Vice President:
Dear Ken,
In order to solve the climate crisis, we can’t just change light bulbs — we need to change laws.
We’re closer today than ever before. Right now, Congress is debating clean energy legislation that will jumpstart our economy and help solve the climate crisis.
On this Earth Day, can I depend on you to support this crucial legislation?
This is the historic comprehensive energy legislation that we’ve been waiting for. It will create millions of jobs and help solve the climate crisis by closing the carbon pollution loophole.
After so many years of inaction and obstruction, it’s incredible that we have finally reached this point. But the legislative process is never easy. With powerful forces fighting hard to maintain the status quo, it will take all of us working together to seize this moment.
Today, you are one of more than two million Repower America members, and tens of millions of Americans, who want to take positive action for our planet. This is it — a chance to demonstrate nationwide support for clean energy to our leaders in Congress, and help to bring about a new economic era based on clean energy.
So please, talk to your friends. Talk to your parents or grandparents. Start a conversation with a co-worker. And ask them to join with you and the millions of other Americans who want Congress to support clean energy jobs by closing the carbon pollution loophole.
Your efforts have brought us this far. I hope you take this opportunity to make this a historic Earth Day.
Thank you,
Al Gore
Take action now or never!
[I support clean energy but I'd like to help in other ways]
