Click hereHigh gas prices have lots of people's blood boiling. But what really makes me angry is $4 gas AND no real progress on alternative energy.
That's what President Bush's leadership has done for us. We need to make sure voters know that John McCain won't be any different. And what better place to communicate that than right at the gas pump?
On July 9th, we are holding a National Day of Action for an Oil-Free President. With local outreach events at gas stations around the country, we'll make sure voters know the facts: John McCain's campaign is run by oil lobbyists,1 it's funded by oil companies,2 his policies are straight out of Big Oil's playbook,3 and he won't solve our energy crisis.
If you're concerned about energy and climate change, will you host a local outreach event in Sebring as part of the Day of Action? Hosting is easy, and we'll help you every step of the way. Start by clicking here:
The Oil-Free President rallies are simple events—people will be holding signs, handing out fliers, and reaching out to the media. Taking the facts right to people at the pump is a powerful way to get the message out: if you want a change in our energy policy, McCain is not for you.
Gas prices have risen to an all-time high—from $1.50 to $4.00 a gallon during Bush's presidency. And the oil industry is making billions on $4.00 gas, while nothing much is being done about oil independence or global warming. Big Oil has made it clear who their candidate is in this race by investing $1 million in John McCain's campaign. And McCain has repaid that friendship by supporting millions of dollars in tax breaks for oil companies4 and pushing gimmicks like offshore drilling and gas tax holidays that provide no immediate relief or long-term solutions.
People need to know Barack Obama represents real change on energy.5 While Obama is presenting substantive plans for reducing carbon emissions, curbing our dependence on oil, and going after oil speculators, John McCain is selling us snake oil.
With voters desperate for relief, McCain's promises could sound pretty good. We have to make sure our neighbors realize McCain is Big Oil's friend—not ours.
Can you help get that message out by hosting a gas station event for the National Day of Action for an Oil-Free President on July 9th?
Hosting the events right after Independence Day is also great timing. People will have gas prices on their minds after holiday travel. And it is just the right time to remind everyone the only way we'll make progress on the energy crisis is if we have a president independent of Big Oil influence, who will stand up for us.
