Breaking News: House Passes Historic Clean Energy Jobs Bill
Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent the following message to DCCC supporters:
Friend --
Today is truly a day for the history books!
A
short time ago, the House passed the historic American Clean Energy and
Security Act. In doing so, we took a monumental step to get America
running on clean energy, create millions of new jobs, strengthen our
security, and reduce pollution in the air.
This legislation was
masterfully written by two longtime champions for building a clean
energy economy in America and aggressively fighting climate change -
Chairman Henry Waxman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and
Chairman Ed Markey of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and
Global Warming.
Most of all, this victory belongs to you. It
is directly because of your grassroots support and the leadership of
President Obama that progress on climate change is indeed happening in
Washington.
Thank you for making this good news possible.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi
P.S.
Passage of our historic clean energy jobs bill is a perfect example of
the change that your grassroots support is bringing to America. With so
many other big battles ahead, President Obama and I need your urgent
support before the critical FEC deadline on Tuesday. We must show the
world our support is behind President Obama to make a strong showing. Please make a generous contribution today before the deadline to show the world you stand with President Obama.
