Dear Senator ____________,

We all know we need to protect the environment. I am concerned that the Lieberman-Warner Climate Bill (S. 2191) will cause my electric bills to increase drastically, to prices I cannot afford. Please work to find a better solution to climate change.


Dear Senator __________,

We all know we need to protect the environment. But like many in my community, I am concerned about being laid off from my job if the Lieberman-Warner Climate Bill (S. 2191) passes. Please work to find a better solution to climate change.



Dear Senator ____________,

Although the Lieberman-Warner Climate Bill (S. 2191) means well, I am concerned that it tackles the problem of climate change on the backs of hardworking Americans. We can have a clean environment AND a healthy economy. Please work to find a better solution to climate change.



Dear Senator _________________,

I understand you are currently considering the Lieberman-Warner Climate Bill (S. 2191). I have some serious concerns about the bill, and would ask that you consider these three questions before passing any climate change bill:


  • Experts say that our nation's growing electricity needs will soon go well beyond what renewables, conservation and efficiency can provide. What is your plan to make sure we have the electricity we'll need in the future?

  • What are you doing to fully fund the research required to make emissions-free electric plants an affordable reality?

  • Balancing electricity needs and environmental goals will be difficult. How much is all this going to increase my electric bill, and what will you do to make it affordable?
