John,

"April showers bring May flowers." 

You know what else brings May flowers? Good environmental legislation - and Connecticut is ripe with it. In celebration of Earth Month we would like to take a minute to look at the garden of positive impacts we have sown...

But before we dig in to how Democrats are taking action to protect the environment, will you help us in these efforts by making a contribution today?

Connecticut is especially vulnerable to climate change and is taking measurable steps to address the issue. That’s why the Democratically controlled legislature has adopted aggressive proposals to protect our state:

• Connecticut is one of 11 states in the northeast participating in the first mandatory cap-and-trade program in the US to limit carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector.
• Connecticut has adopted a Renewable Portfolio Standard for the state to produce 40% of power from renewable energy by 2030.
• Connecticut established a “Green Bank” to provide financing for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.

Cap-and-trade, renewable energy, green banking - these are all policies panned by Republicans. But Democrats believe in a sustainable future - one our kids and future generations can be proud of.

By making a contribution of $10, $35, $50, or whatever you can afford today, you’re helping elect leaders who actually believe in climate science and are implementing policies for a sustainable future. 

I think we’re fine to say on behalf of Mother Earth, thank you for chipping in today to help protect our “pale blue dot.”

Best,

CT Dems
