Act Now: Congress to Vote on Energy Agenda!
Lauren A.
Some reminders on why passing this bill is so important:
Our dependence on foreign oil has reached a record 65 percent.
In 2006, the big five oil companies made $97 billion – nearly five times their profits in 2002. Meanwhile, gas prices topped $3 per gallon.
At a time of record profits, Big Oil has received new and additional subsidies over the last six years.
The President's 2007 budget funds renewable energy and energy efficiency below the 2001 level and provides nearly 50 percent less for research on renewable energy than was promised in the new energy law.
Don't you agree that it's time to improve energy independence by repealing costly subsidies for oil companies and encouraging investment in clean, renewable energy sources?
Then tell your own lawmaker that you support these reforms for energy independence and Congress should, too! http://go.care2.com/e/R4G8/C6Ap/j72V
Thanks for making a difference today!
