I like SAs 2 gallons for $4.99 deal. Speedy points are fun. I don’t buy gas there (I don’t have a car on campus), but I understand that proper legislation will help the U.S. lower emissions…It is a convenience to buy food and stuff there because it is close.

We want people to know this isn’t just about boycotting. More importantly it’s about reminding people how critical it is to address the threats of climate change, and getting Amy Klobuchar the positive support she needs to pass a STRONG clean energy bill through the senate. (Amy is on 3 committees that will discuss the legislation). Here are a few good web sites to help inform people: http://www.1sky.org/; 350.org; http://boycottsuperamerica2009.blogspot.com/ (info also in Spanish here); consequence09.org.

Get out your phone and help your friends call or write Amy:

302 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
phone: 202-224-3244

Here is suggested message:

I am contacting you to express my support for the “Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act of 2009.” We hope you stand strong and demand the bill include:

• 20 % cut in emissions by 2020.
• EPA regulatory authority over coal.
• Provisions that ensure that the $ generated by a cap and trade are invested in clean technologies and green jobs.
