The House of Representatives has made history by passing the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 by a margin of just 219-212. The bill is the first to try to curb the greenhouse gases that cause climate change and will help move the U.S. into a clean energy economy. Click here to find out how your Representative voted. Now that the legislation has passed in the House, the fight for a strong climate change bill moves on to the Senate. It is imperative that Congress pass legislation that cuts greenhouse gas emissions based on the best available science. TAKE ACTION Please lobby Congress by doing the following: 1. Call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 or 202-225-3121 and ask for your Representative's office. If your Representative voted yes thank him or her for supporting the legislation. If your Representative voted no let him or her know you expect support for strong climate change legislation in the future. Or click here to send a message to your Representative about his or her vote. 2. Tell your Senators to support strong climate change legislation by clicking here to send them an email message. 3. Send this alert to other concerned citizens - your grassroots network, your friends and coworkers. Encourage them to contact their Representative and Senators today!
