Green Livin Major Climate Vote Friday -- Speak up today!















Major Climate Vote Friday -- Speak up today!

Here we go! We are getting the vote we have been looking for on the Climate Security Act as soon as tomorrow.

Call your senators today and urge them to "Vote yes for the Climate Security Act!"

A yes vote is a yes to continue debate on the Climate Security Act. A no vote is a vote to kill the bill for this Congress and squash any chances to pass strong global warming legislation this year.

Even if you have already called your senators, call them again!

Opponents of the bill have launched a series of delay tactics, including requiring an eight-hour reading of the 491-page bill, word for word, as well as late-night dramatics that caused Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) to threaten to send out the Sergeant at Arms to round up senators in the dead of night to get enough votes to proceed with the bill.

The coming vote is a key test for your senators. Make sure they support serious action on global warming.

"When I met with Sen. Boxer last night, she had nothing but great things to say for the work that National Wildlife Federation has been doing, and asked us all to 'unleash' everything we have today," said NWF global warming director Jeremy Symons.

So here I am unleashing you, my awesome wildlife champions. Help us flood Senate offices with calls to vote YES to the Climate Security Act and stop any further delays.

Log your calls today and forward this email to as many friends and family members as you can!
