Send Postcards for the Environmental Priorities Coalition

Three of the 2009 Environmental Priorities are focused on tackling climate change. We've got an ambitious agenda and we need your help! Our goal is to get at least 300 postcard captains and at least 3,000 postcards signed from across the state by February 19th.

That's the day that hundreds of folks like you will head to Olympia for Environmental Lobby Day to meet with their legislators face-to-face. What a perfect opportunity to send a strong message and deliver the postcards to every single legislator in the state!

Sign up today! The postcards will state your support for:

1. Capping climate pollution and investing in a clean energy economy,
2. Saving energy in our buildings, and
3. Creating transit-oriented communities. #}

   Our fourth environmental priority, investing in clean water, will push forward on saving Puget Sound — more on that in future alerts.

   All of these proposals will be very heavy lifts and it's going to take a massive amount of public will and action to pass them. Can you get 10 or more postcards signed by friends and family here in Washington State? It's a simple and powerful way to demonstrate the public support that will be necessary to pass this critical legislation.

   Sign up today! In your postcard packet you'll receive postcards, instructions, talking points, and a return envelope. All you need to do is get the postcards signed and mail them back to us. Sign up to be a postcard captain today!

   Contact Kerri Cechovic (206) 631-2600 for more information.
