"Regulate Greenhouse Gas Emissions Under The Clean Air Act of 2009 NOW!"

Dear Robert & Melinda,
On April 24, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson took a first step toward regulating greenhouse pollution under the Clean Air Act by issuing a proposed finding that greenhouse gas emissions "endanger public health and welfare."
At the conclusion of the ongoing public comment period, the Environmental Protection Agency must finalize the finding, and then -- at long last -- issue regulations to reduce greenhouse pollution. Despite this forward momentum, the Obama administration is under intense pressure from industry to postpone or forgo the regulations.
The Clean Air Act is our nation's leading tool for the reduction of greenhouse pollution, with a proven track record of success in reducing traditional air pollutants.
Yet the Act's very effectiveness makes it the primary target of industries and politicians that continue to oppose solutions to the climate crisis..
The Environmental Protection Agency needs to hear from millions of Americans in support of Clean Air Act regulation for greenhouse gases. Please send your letter by the June 23 deadline.

Sample letter:
Subject: Regulate Greenhouse Gases Under the Clean Air Act
Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0171
Dear Administrator Jackson,
I applaud your proposed finding that greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health and welfare.
The finding incorporates an enormous body of scientific information demonstrating that greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced immediately in order to avoid catastrophic climate impacts.
I am disappointed, however, that the proposed finding did not include proposed regulations to actually get the job done.
The Clean Air Act provides critically important tools for reducing greenhouse gas emissions successfully and cost-effectively.
This law has a four-decade track record of success in protecting the air we breathe, and provides the foundation for a shift to a low-carbon, clean-energy future.
Please finalize the endangerment finding and issue regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions immediately.
Our future depends on your leadership -- if you will stand firm against industry pressure for further delays in greenhouse gas reductions, a brighter future for all of us is still possible.
*Please take action by June 23, 2009.

This should come of no surprise to you, but anyone posting sensitive and personal information on this group or anywhere else on the Internet for that matter, is subject to criminal acts and does so at their own risk.
Most of the posts on this group are being forwarded to 300-400+ Care2 members!
This group as I have written before, is completely 'open' to the Internet and is being accessed by hundreds, if not thousands of non-Care2 members!
*(Note: You probably already know this, because most members are aware of this).
There is no rule or law which forces you to remove sensitive information, but it is not advisable to include such!
Some members insist on forwarding this information and because it is of their right to do so, this group will continue to forward said information.
If you do not wish sensitive info to be viewed, then simply do not post it.
It is entirely up to the individual to decide their own level of security-conscious paranoia.
Our objective is to get your word out, and 'not' to make judgements upon your personal belief systems!!!
Anyone who does 'not' like a particular post, is 'not' being forced to read that post, just skip it and find one you that you like better!
* This group strongly enforces the human right to voice their opinion!!! Discussion and debate are acceptable, but member bashing will not be tolerated in the very least!!!

Thank you for joining our group Lyra J. and welcome aboard!
I am preparing to forward your posted petitions to 300+ Care2 members and several of these shall forward to many more.
As we all know, no one is forced to sign or note anything; however, by promoting your posts we will give a large number of individuals the chance to decide.
We also realize that success depends solely upon the action and interaction of Care2 members.
So I urge everyone to post, note, sign and forward in an effort to succeed where others have failed.
This group is designed to become a one-stop action spot!!!

1. New Care2 members who have absolutely no kudos and are just starting out on C2NN.
*Note: Remember, established members were once starting out themselves, and some of these 'new members' will aspire to challenge even our already best!!!
2. Those members who have just begun community development; producing news articles, petitions, shares and groups.
3. Well established members with great kudos under their belts already.
