Dear [My Senators, Governor],
I am writing to ask that you oppose President Bush's proposed energy plan.
This plan emphasizes burning more polluting fossil fuels, constructing dangerous
and expensive nuclear power plants and destroying environmentally sensitive lands.
These proposals will risk public health and environmental quality, both in the Midwest
and across the country, while heaping benefits on the oil, gas, coal and nuclear industries.
Instead, I encourage you to demand and support a balanced, thoughtful energy strategy
that moves the Midwest and America towards innovative, long-term solutions to our 21st
Century energy needs. Now is the time to pursue an energy plan that places greater
emphasis on developing clean and efficient energy resources.
