Dear friends,
 
We need your help THIS MORNING on important legislation!
 
Please call or email your Representative THIS MORNING and let them know you want their SUPPORT for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction bill, numbered Senate File 485.
 
We need you to make calls/e-mails to the members of the House Environmental Protection Committee in support of Senate File 485.
 
The committee will meet today at 11:00am.  They are taking the bill up in a committee of the whole, so all members of the standing committee are on the subcommittee.
 
Tell Committee members that you are looking for their leadership to provide some real solutions to the problem of global warming and this bill is an excellent start.
