The 2007 Energy Bill has been one long and bumpy ride.It's down to this...
The final energy bill will be voted on in the House of Representatives THIS WEEK, followed by a Senate vote next week.
The U.S. House is voting THIS WEEK on a final energy bill.
Make sure your representative votes for wildlife and passes a strong bill!
With global warming threatening 30-40 percent of wildlife species, Congress MUST pass an energy bill in 2007 to lay the groundwork for strong global warming legislation in 2008 and beyond.
Let your representative know: "Americans need an Energy Bill with..."
Protections for wildlife and public lands from oil and gas development.
A Renewable Electricity Standard of at least 15 percent by 2020.
A fuel economy standard of at least 35 mpg by 2020.
We believe a bill with these three things can pass in the House and Senate, making a terrific down payment on an upcoming global warming bill!

Speak up today and help get the energy bill to the finish line:
