Ask Merrill Lynch to Stop Funding TXU
Texas utility company TXU hopes to build 11 new coal-fired power plants, but first it needs to raise $11 billion to finance the proposed plants. The Texas plants are part of a growth strategy that could make TXU the biggest single corporate greenhouse gas polluter in the United States. Merrill Lynch is one of the banks helping TXU underwrite this project. We need you to call and tell them to stop helping TXU destroy our climate. Call Merrill Lynch's Chief Executive Officer E. Stanley O'Neal and ask him to stop helping TXU build these dirty coal plants. For more information, check out http://dirtymoney.org/home/ IMPORTANT: Once you've called, let us know by submitting the form to the right. New York Office Phone Number: Ask for Stanley O'Neal (CEO and Chairman of Merrill Lynch's Board). SAMPLE MESSAGE: "My name is ________, and I am calling to let Merrill Lynch know that your bank needs to stop helping TXU finance dirty Texas coal plants. Merrill Lynch needs to adopt climate-friendly environmental and social policies. I will be letting my friends and fellow investors know about this, and I sincerely hope Merrill Lynch does the right thing." If no one picks up, leave a message!
Dear [ Decision Maker ] , Dear RAN, I've made a phone call to the Merrill Lynch office in New York and hope that the combined effort of activists around the world will show Merrill Lynch that TXU's coal plants in Texas is unacceptable.
