A majority of Americans support a cap on carbon pollution -- but you wouldn't know it from what you read in the papers or see on the news.
Across the country, those who want to keep America addicted to fossil fuel are making gross misstatements about clean energy -- and the media has been playing right along.
In one case, opponents of clean energy misquoted an MIT study so badly that the author wrote to them in protest, saying their claims were "just wrong. It's wrong in so many ways it's hard to begin."
Of course, they didn't stop, and their misleading statements were repeated on TV and in newspapers across the country.
You know the truth, and right now your voice is the most powerful tool we have to set the record straight on the carbon pollution loophole.
Will you send a message to your local paper using our simple tool?
Your "Letter to the Editor" will make a powerful impact when it is published: These letters are read by millions of people each day. Your letter will show that Americans across the country support a clean energy future and will help news outlets shape their coverage of this issue.
These letters are also a good way to reach your members of Congress since many read the newspaper opinion pages every day.
Our opponents want to scare Americans out of supporting change. Your letter will show that it won't work. That we're not afraid and that the most costly mistake we can make is doing nothing at all.
By using our simple online tool, you can write and send your letter very easily. And we've provided all the talking points you need to make it effective.
We can't let opportunities for a better future be derailed by fear and misinformation.
Stand up for clean energy in your community. Get started now:

While the media does a great job of spreading lies, I did see a positive ray of light the other day.
Has anyone seen the 'clean coal' commercials ?
Basically points out that there is no such thing as clean coal. It was amazing. - 3 years ago
