Text of June's One Minute Activist Letter:

Senator Edward Kennedy
317 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington DC 20510

Senator John Kerry
304 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington DC 20510
June 2005

Dear Senators Kennedy and Kerry,

As a constituent deeply concerned about global warming, I am extremely troubled that Senators Alexander and Warner have introduced a bill in the United States Senate that would effectively kill the future development of wind energy.

As you know, wind energy is currently the fastest growing source of energy on the planet, and the bill would leave the United States behind. In addition, without a strong and vibrant future for wind in the United States, our emissions of dangerous greenhouse gasses will continue to grow.

Nuclear power utilities, coal, oil and natural gas producers and have all received billions in taxpayer subsidies over the years. The Warner-Alexander Amendment would deny all current subsidies to wind energy development interests. That alone could kill not only the Cape Wind project, but also most viable wind energy sites being considered in these United States.

I strongly urge you to oppose Senators Alexander and Warner's attempt to shut down America's move toward a clean energy future. Thank you.

Sincerely,
