[Lekooks] Fwd: (CCL) Call Congress Wednesday! Meetings Saturday

Thanks, Phil, Mike, and Gerry!  The link below makes it super easy to call, just got it done.  Except that Senselessbrenner’s phone doesn’t go to voicemail.  I tried his Brookfield office as well (262-784-1111) and had the same problem.

Today is a Call Congress Day to ask your representative to take action on Climate Change. If you heard Mike Jury and Phil Smith's presentation on solutions to climate change at church a few weeks ago you will be somewhat familiar with the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act that Mike and I will be lobbying for in WDC this Tuesday. The calls are intended to inundate congress with the importance of this issue and this bill. Please call- it does make a difference. For details and a link to our Citizens Climate Lobby website with its call link.

p.s. The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act would impose a tax on fossil fuels (e.g., coal, oil, natural gas) as they come out of the ground  and return that money to each household in a monthly check. The money is intended to offset the increased costs of electricity, fuel and products as the tax is passed on to consumers. Low and middle income households will receive more dividend money than they payout in increased costs. The higher costs of fossil fuels that will more closely reflect their long term costs to society and will lead markets to replace them with renewables and other innovative approaches.

Wed. June 5th: Call Congress! Then tell a friend to Call Congress!

This weekend 11 of us from the Milwaukee area are joining 1,500 other citizens in Washington DC for the CCL International Conference and Lobby Day -- and we need your help!  Tomorrow, Wednesday June 5th we want you to lend your voice to create a massive (but respectful) roar for climate action. All it takes is a few phone calls. Then ask a friend to call as well.

The best way to call is by clicking on this link:  <https://citizensclimatelobby.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dc20ae2033c25ef193c61d04d&id=3d0491bab6&e=a14354f35c> http://cclusa.org/call. You enter your address and zipcode, then you are given the numbers to call and a simple script.

If you don't read this until Thursday or Friday, that's fine, calls those days are good too. Again that link:  <https://citizensclimatelobby.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dc20ae2033c25ef193c61d04d&id=1a861e8f7a&e=a14354f35c> http://cclusa.org/call.

Tues. June 11th: Tweet Congress! Ask a friend to Tweet Congress!

And next week, on the actual day we'll be in the House and Senate office buildings, instead of calling we're Tweeting. You will need a Twitter account, but once you have that, the handy link w/ a suggested tweet is right here:  <https://citizensclimatelobby.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dc20ae2033c25ef193c61d04d&id=3c8c5ff198&e=a14354f35c> http://cclusa.org/tweet.

PS Terry passed along this quote and link you might find inspiring: 

This is an extraordinary op-ed coauthored by a Democrat and a Republican.

"Businesses know all about the risks of climate change. Companies are increasingly experiencing disruptions to their supply chains and damages to their assets from floods, droughts, wildfires, storms, and other climate-driven extreme weather, and investors see it reflected in their portfolios. Businesses’ bottom lines show that climate change isn’t a far-off risk, it’s a cost that’s already racking up damages to our economy to the tune of more than $300 billion a year, an amount which is only expected to grow.

That’s why we have both introduced legislation proposing a price on carbon. A price on carbon will level the economic playing field in the energy sector, unlock market-driven innovation, and lead to the deployment of low, zero, and negative carbon technologies. It will help create millions of new jobs and slash U.S. carbon emissions dramatically, making it a powerful tool for curbing climate pollution."

- Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) and Representative Francis Rooney (R-FL)
