Subject: [Green] CCL Senate Campaign

Green Sanctuary Committee:

    Sorry to be a nuisance, but this is a unique opportunity for serious
climate legislation in the U.S. Senate.

    Here is my original message edited for either Ohio or WV residents:

     I attended a special (emergency) meeting of CCL National on July 20.
CCL has learned that in the U.S. Senate, the Democrats have resolved to
pursue a budget reconciliation bill. This bill needs at least 51 senators to
support it in order to pass. Carbon pricing is likely to be included in this
bill that is being discussed over the next three weeks in the Senate, but
Democrats have told CCL that the senators need to hear from constituents
that this is popular. 
 
     This opportunity is a chance to achieve legislatively what CCL has been
working towards in the full 14 years of its existence. 
 
   CCL is asking all members to call (and e-mail--although calling is viewed
as more effective) their senators. 
 
            Senator Sherrod Brown- 202-224-2315 
 
            Senator Rob Portman- 202-224-3353 
 
     Please go through the specially developed link to make these calls. 
 
            cclusa.org/senate 
 
     and follow the directions. Your call and email will be automatically
logged. 
 
     You are advised to customize your message, but here is the recommended
wording to serve as the essence  of the message: 
 
      To Sen. Brown (Democrat)  - Please support the inclusion of carbon
pricing in the Reconciliation Bill. It's time to go big and bold on climate
action and reduce carbon emissions. 
 
      To Sen. Portman (Republican) - Please support the inclusion of carbon
pricing in the Reconciliation Bill before the Senate. Carbon pricing is an
opportunity to avoid  paying European border tariffs and remain competitive
in the world market. 
 
      These are messages based on CCL research optimize effectiveness. 
 
      I have sent an email and called our two Ohio senators and customized
my message by saying that I live in Appalachia Ohio, and we need to
re-imagine Appalachia and develop an economy based on renewable energy and
jobs that stay in our region.
