PolicyBusters!: Encourage your Representatives to Support HR 969, the Federal Renewable Energy Standards Act

PolicyBusters!

Since policymaking in a democracy should be controlled by citizens--not corporations--POLICYBUSTERS is dedicated to developing a democratic framework of engaged policymaking that breaks down the walls between citizens and their ability to determine the policies that govern them. Citizen control over the policymaking process is the heart of democratic self-government. Let's work together to reforge public policies that will allow us to live up to our democratic ideals.

Encourage your Representatives to Support HR 969, the Federal Renewable Energy Standards Act

Open Letter to Congressional House Members in support of H.R. 969, the Federal Renewable Energy Standards (RES) Act:

This legislation may be the most important legislation you can vote for to safeguard both our national security and humanity's future.

I deeply hope you will not only vote for this legislation, but will do all you can to build on and strengthen its principles in future legislation, especially by helping the US car industry to produce much more fuel efficient cars within the next five years, through dramatic increases in CAFE standards and increased funding for the quick development of affordable plug-in hybrids.

The most direct route toward guaranteeing a profitable future for the Michigan car industry is to support the conversion of GM and Ford to the production of fuel efficient plug-in hybrid vehicles as quickly as possible! I hope you will consider supporting future legislation that will support and push the US car industry in this direction, for the good of this industry, US auto workers, and the country's fuel security!
