Senate Climate Caucus adds 4 members; 3 new cosponsors for H.R. 763

The movement for cross-party collaboration on climate change picked up
some steam last week with the addition of four members to the bipartisan
Senate Climate Solutions Caucus. The new members (shown above) are
Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Susan Collins
(R-ME) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI).

In a press release, caucus co-chair Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) said, "We
have a diverse group of Senators who have joined the Climate Solutions
Caucus, which is important because Congress cannot make significant
progress on climate issues until we can convince all Americans that
climate policy can make a meaningful difference without harming their
pocketbooks."

Over in the House, the Energy Innovation Act continues to rack up
cosponsors. Since Congress returned from the holiday break, three more
House members have come on board — Rep. Ann Kuster (D-NH), Rep. Grace
Napolitano (D-CA) and Rep. Mary Scanlon (D-PA). You can tweet your
appreciation to them and other cosponsors with CCL's online tool

Bob Inglis joins national call

On our February national call last Saturday, CCL Executive Director Mark
Reynolds announced that registration is open for the June conference and
lobby day in Washington. Mark touched on last week's Conservative
Climate Lobby Day, acknowledging what a "game-changing moment" it was
for conservatives to be lobbying with other conservatives in
congressional meetings.

Our guest speaker, former Republican Congressman Bob Inglis, was also at
the Third Coast Regional Conference in Houston. He opened his remarks by
saying how great it was to hear the room spontaneously burst into
applause when conservatives were asked to raise their hands. Bob's
introduction and remarks begin at 2:45 in the recording.

Lobbying: Bringing conservatives to D.C.

Peter Garrett (third from right in photo), one of the attendees at CCL's
Conservative Lobby Day last week, took a very strategic approach to his
lobbying efforts. He personally invited several prominent Republicans
from his community to attend the event with him. These were people who
had served in Maine's state legislature as Republicans, and one even
regularly appears on local news to offer a conservative voice. Two of
them attended the event and lobbied alongside Peter, adding a lot of
value to the meetings and bringing more conservative voices into the
climate discussion. Now that they're all back in Maine, Peter says, "I
am working with both of them to extend the ‘Conservative Action on
Climate' message to their peers here, for whom climate may still be a
taboo subject for discussion."

CCL volunteers are regularly activating the " five levers

" of political will in their communities. To talk with other CCLers
about their lobbying work and get advice or ideas for your own, head to
the "Lobbying Congress" forum on CCL Community.
