Global Warming: The Way Forward is "CLEAR"

Ask Senators to Support CLEAR Today: http://capwiz.com/fconl/issues/alert/?alertid=14757496
The Senate leadership is preparing one more push to pass comprehensive legislation to address the looming global warming crisis.
Your action now could help determine whether the Senate continues to pursue weak, industry-written measures or takes up fair, simple, and effective legislation to cut greenhouse gas pollution: http://capwiz.com/fconl/issues/alert/?alertid=14757496.
We've worked with a pair of senators to develop bipartisan legislation that will put the United States on a direct path to curbing our runaway greenhouse gas emissions. The Carbon Limits and Energy for America's Renewal (CLEAR) Act, introduced in December by Senators Maria Cantwell (WA) and Susan Collins (ME), is a straightforward bill that would decarbonize the U.S. economy and compensate consumers for the inevitable increases in energy costs.
It's not perfect, but it is good and would start this country off in the right direction.
Now we're joining Senators Collins and Cantwell to recruit their Senate colleagues as cosponsors. A number of other senators are already expressing interest in the CLEAR Act, because the bill would make the majority of their constituents better off and actually reduce human-caused global warming.
You can help. Please contact your senators today to urge them to support the CLEAR Act: http://capwiz.com/fconl/issues/alert/?alertid=14757496.
