America is supposed to be a democracy. Let your leaders hear you frustration! Let them know that we NEED a strong climate bill that will protect our environment and ultimately protect us. They are OUR voices. They don't know how you feel unless you TELL THEM!

• PLEASE TELL YOUR SENATORS TO PROTECT THE CLEAN AIR ACT! - Our last hope in overcoming global warming. The republicans in Congress are trying to take away EPA's power to regulate pollution. DONT LET THIS HAPPEN! ACT NOW!
  

Future generations need us. Think about your children and your children's children. What kind of environment will they have? Will they be able to play in the beach? Will they have plentiful safe water? Will they be able to enjoy the sun and not burn from it??

PLEASE. Do it for them.
