Organizations and individuals across New Hampshire and the nation have been working for nearly a year towards strong, comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation. On July 22nd, at the very same time there was 13 New Hampshire leaders in Washington to talk to our senators, clean energy proponents were dealt a crushing blow. The corporate polluters and their army of Washington lobbyist kept their grip on America's energy policy, preventing the Senate from taking action on comprehensive climate legislation.

At this time, it is expected that a weaker bill to deal with only the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf will be put to the Senate with some hope of a comprehensive bill in September. In any case, at THIS MOMENT we need the Senate to use every opportunity to address clean energy and climate reform. Every day we delay action; our national security, economy and environment are at further risk. The Climate Protection Act Fund's Repower America campaign have organized a phone bank to make calls to clean energy friends throughout New Hampshire.

WE NEED YOUR HELP. Join the Repower America campaign on Thursday, August 5th from 5:00pm-8:00pm at the Green Alliance office, 9 Walker Street, Kittery, ME, for a Repower America Phone Bank. Help mobilize the people of New Hampshire in expressing their voices to our Senators. The Climate Protection Act Fund’s will provide call lists and a script will be provided by Repower America. If you have a cell phone you are willing to use, please bring it along.
