From MoveOn: Strengthen the Clean Energy Jobs Bill

[Triana]

If you haven't been paying attention to the fight in Congress over President Obama's clean energy jobs plan, now's the time to tune in.

Powerful oil and coal interests are demanding loopholes, bailouts, and giveaways from taxpayers, and they've won provisions in the energy bill to preserve their profits and weaken the bill.

But we can strengthen and improve this bill, if progressives in Congress will join our fight.

I signed a petition urging Congress to strengthen the clean energy jobs bill. Can you join me at the link below?

Powerful oil and coal interests have had a stranglehold on our energy policy, demanding loopholes, bailouts, and giveaways from taxpayers. They've won concessions in the energy bill to preserve their profits and weaken the bill's ability to deliver on the full promise of clean energy jobs.

But now, progressives are coming together to push back. MoveOn has joined with groups across the progressive movement, from the Sierra Club to ACORN to Oxfam to Rock the Vote, to tell Congress to stand strong against the special interests that seek to weaken the clean energy bill at every turn.

We can strengthen and improve this bill, if progressive leaders in Congress will join our fight. Can you sign MoveOn's petition to Congress?
