Save the Date: Natural Resources Funding Call-In Day
Monday, April 27, 2009(National Wildlife Federation)
On
May 8th, the Natural Resource Funding coalition
is having a grasstops National Call-In Day for
ensuring natural resource investment in global
warming legislation. We are asking
organizations, organizers and people with
relationships to their Members of Congress, to
call in and speak with their member directly or
his/her staff for energy and environment
issues. We're encouraging all states to
participate, but will be focusing our outreach
around members of the Energy and Commerce
Committee.
The
ask is to pass American Clean Energy and
Security Act (ACES) and ensure it invests an
average of $7 billion per year to safeguard
natural resources for people and wildlife.
Attached are the sample scripts (both generic
member and E&C committee) with further
information on the National-Call In Day; we
also have some specific scripts for specific
members of the Energy and Commerce Committee.
We will need your help to circulate the script
to generate calls, as well as possibly make
calls yourself. Please let me know if you can
circulate these scripts to your grasstop
network or if you have any questions. Someone
from the "Safeguards" team will follow up with
you if we could especially use your help.
Thank
you for helping protect nature for people and
wildlife!
