I wanted to give you a heads-up on what we're doing to reach out to members of Congress. So far, we have placed full-page print ads in papers in Pennsylvania for Representative Platts, http://smnr.us/platts/; Illinois for Representative Kirk, http://smnr.us/kirk/; New Mexico for Representative Udall, http://smnr.us/udallnm/; and Colorado for Representative Udall, http://smnr.us/udallco/. We also placed an ad in Roll Call, The Hill, and Congress Daily, http://smnr.us/net/.

We put a man on the moon in 8 years. We can reach 35 mpg by 2020.

Compared to other challenges America has met, this one is pretty easy. The National Academy of Sciences says we already have the technology to get the overall fleet of new cars and light trucks in the U.S. to average 35 miles per gallon by 2020, without sacrificing vehicle size, safety or acceleration.

And the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute says the Senate’s bipartisan fuel economy bill will help Detroit compete, increasing industry profits and saving auto jobs. Of course, the auto lobby is still saying it can’t be done. But that’s what they said about seat belts, airbags, you name it.

This isn’t rocket science.
Pass the Senate compromise
auto fuel efficiency bill.

Representative Udall:

Thank You for Your Leadership on the Energy Bill... Now Get Us Into the End Zone!

This summer, members of the House and Senate each worked hard to pass energy bills. Now it’s time for Congress to finish the job and pass a comprehensive bill – one that will bring the nation’s fleet of cars and trucks to an average of 35 mpg and 15 percent of our electricity coming from renewable energy by 2020.

This is a critical step in the fight to break America of its addiction to fossil fuels and a down payment in combating global warming.

This is our chance to make our country more energy independent, create good jobs, save consumers money, protect our natural resources, and reduce the growth of global warming pollution.

Please go to http://www.energybill2007.org and sign the petition.
