Open Letter to President Obama Calling for Strong Action on Climate and Energy More than 850 businesses, local elected officials, labor unions, environmental groups, low-income groups, sportsmen groups, and other organizations signed a letter and an ad calling for strong action on climate and energy in this Congress. These 850 recognize that America needs to rebuild our economy on a sound foundation – one that ends our dependence on oil, puts people back to work, contributes to long-term prosperity, rebuilds our communities, and addresses global warming. The one path to achieve all of these goals is to take the lead on global warming by moving to a clean energy future. Read the letter (pdf) and see the ad image and signatories (pdf).
