Write to Congress!

We need you to write to your representatives in the House and Senate and to other political leaders to introduce them to the Energize America plan, and help them take the steps we need to make these important changes a reality.

You can contact your representative via the House link above - enter your zip code in the box on the House page, and your senators via the Senate link - there's a drop-down list of states on the upper right side of the page. The services provided by congress.org may make it easier for you to make these contacts. The following is a sample letter you can use as a draft - be sure to personalize it with your own perspective before sending:

“Dear __________,
Energize America offers the first citizen-driven vision of our energy future that eliminates the risks to our security, our economy, and our planet resulting from our increasingly dangerous fossil fuels dependency. This clear and comprehensive plan, designed to achieve Energy Freedom by 2020 and Energy Independence by 2040, was developed not by lobbyists or politicians, but by thousands of informed citizen activists over the past several months.

Energize America’s main goals by 2020 are to reduce both oil imports and greenhouse gas emissions 50%, and to generate 25% of our electricity from renewable sources.

I call on you to review in detail the benefits and detailed recommendations of Energize America (www.ea2020.org), and to either endorse this important effort or explain how our Energy Freedom can be better secured. We can no longer afford to ignore these dangers, nor can we continue to allow oil, gas and coal lobbyists to define our energy and environmental policies.
Your prompt attention to ensuring America’s Energy Freedom is greatly appreciated. / Sincerely, / Name
