Media: LTE urges member of Congress to act
One of CCL's monthly actions
[link removed]
for September was to write letters to the editor. John Smillie from
Crawfordsville, Indiana, is one volunteer to successfully publish a
letter in his local paper. His letter reads, in part, "We need to take
action, and one powerful step we can take is already in front of the
U.S. House of Representatives - the Energy Innovation and Carbon
Dividend Act (H.R. 763). I urge my congressperson, Representative Jim
Baird (IN-4), to support this crucial bill." You can read John's full
letter here
