Support Responsible
Climate Bill
Before its August 2010 recess,
the
Senate is likely to decide on its direction for climate and energy
legislation.
A limit on greenhouse gas emissions would send energy markets a needed
signal to accelerate clean energy technology investments. Senators are
drafting legislation that would impose limits on power plants only,
which is acceptable as long as it's a start towards broader limits and
does not roll back Clean Air Act public health protections.
Please contact your senators and urge them to work responsibly to craft
a responsible climate and energy bill.

"Republicans
for
Environmental Protection represents the very best of the Republican
Party. It's pragmatic. It advocates policies that are good in their own
right. It represents the mainstream of Republican thought. I encourage
all conservation-minded Republicans to join me in supporting REP's
work." —
Theodore Roosevelt IV, Lifetime Member
"I
applaud the
terrific
work you are doing to restore the Republican Party's conservation
tradition and advance responsible environmental policies. Our country
has made the most progress in protecting our environment when
Republicans have been strong leaders, and we need that leadership now
more than ever. I fully support your organization's critically
important mission." —
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
