[Lekooks] Environmental Voter Campaign POst Card mailing is Today!

[philip smith]

Hello Lekooks
Many of you worked on the Environmental Voter Campaign, completing post
cards to encourage folks to vote. *Please mail those post cards today!*
Thanks for all your work on this- the earth spirits thank you ��.

One other thing.... we've been asking all those environmental voters to
tell their family and friends to vote. Here's a simple way we can do the
same. I'm planning to send the email below today to most of my contact
list  (using bcc)- feel free to cut and paste. Hopefully the portion on the
IRA will end up saving recipients $ as well as helping reduce GHG (forgive
me again- since many of you are going to see this multiple times).
Phil

*Family and Friends*
*Forgive me for this mass email but this election is the most important we
have had in my memory. There are so many reasons to vote on Nov 5 (or
earlier), but a really important reason for me is there is a real chance
that the single most effective climate legislation in the world,
the Inflation Reduction Act
<https://www.energy.gov/lpo/inflation-reduction-act-2022>(IRA) may be
repealed if we don't vote. *
*I have been spending lots of time in retirement volunteering with Citizens
Climate Lobby <https://citizensclimatelobby.org/> (CCL) to motivate
congress to pass climate change legislation. Two years ago we, along  with
others, helped enact the IRA. It will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a
billion tons/yr in the US (about 20% of our 2005 total). It provides tax
credits and point-of-sale rebates to homeowners

 (you
can save $1000's-check out the link!) to get us off fossil fuels as well as
countless other incentives to build more renewable energy.*
*So please make a plan to vote in this general election. You can register,
see your ballot and find your polling place here in Wisconsin
at  Myvote.wi.gov <http://myvote.wi.gov/>. Also the League of Women Voters
and others recommend voting NO on the referendum because it may make it
more difficult to vote- so please vote NO <https://my.lwv.org/wisconsin>.*
*Please consider sending a similar email to your family and friends to
spread the word. Also CCL needs to document how effective our actions are,
so please reply to cclwisco at gmail.com <cclwisco at gmail.com> to let us know
how many folks you asked to vote.*
*Thanks so Much!*
