Need: Organizing for America
by ENIE NDOH CECILE | April 21, 2009 at 1:29 PM | Information Sharing
Tomorrow is Earth Day, and because of the movement you built, we are finally within reach of bringing a clean energy economy to America.
President Obama's plan will make crucial investments in renewable and alternative energy so that we can end our crippling addiction to foreign oil, confront the global climate crisis, and create millions of new jobs.
Organizing for America needs the support of people like you to make this plan a reality and prepare America for the 21st century global economy.
Contribute $25 or more, and we'll send you a limited edition, 100% organic cotton "New Energy for America" T-shirt that you can wear to show your support for our fight.
With President Obama's energy proposal, we can break a dependence on foreign oil that has for too long undermined our national security, wreaked havoc on our planet, and strained the budgets of working families across the country.
First, we'll have to take on the same special interests that have stood in the way of energy reform for decades -- oil companies and Washington lobbyists that will fight to preserve the massive subsidies that reward polluters at the expense of the renewable energy entrepreneurs who will create the jobs of tomorrow.
This time, with your help, we can enact reforms that will create millions of clean energy jobs to revamp America's infrastructure -- jobs that will employ skilled workers who will weatherize our homes and buildings, power our towns and cities with wind and solar energy, and put more than a million hybrid cars on the road to improve our fuel economy.
The President is counting on you to help make energy independence a reality. Celebrate Earth Day and the beginning of a clean energy era by donating $25 or more, and get your limited edition organic cotton T-shirt:

We have a long way to go to, but if you can commit to the promise of a clean energy economy in the same way that you committed to electing President Obama, we can leave our children with a planet and an economy that will enable them to thrive for generations.
Thank you for being a part of this,
Mitch

P.S. -- Tomorrow, we're hosting noted green jobs advocate, Majora Carter, for a live online chat at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time. She'll take questions and talk about President Obama's energy proposals. So order a T-shirt today and join us tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. Eastern if you can -- I'll send more details before the chat.
