Something YOU can DO to make a difference

Image
On February 19, President Obama will make his first foreign visit - to Canada. His visit sets the stage for America's clean energy future. That's because America's number one source of foreign oil is Canada, thanks to tar sands oil.

Tar sands oil has been dubbed the dirtiest oil on the planet. It is the most harmful type of oil for the atmosphere, emitting high volumes of greenhouse gases.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said that he wants Canadian tar sands oil development on the agenda when he meets with President Obama. The current Canadian government wants to propose a U.S.-Canada climate pact that would "protect" tar sands greenhouse gas emissions from global warming regulation.

TAKE ACTION...
Make sure President Obama knows that the tar sands don't fit in a new energy economy
At this critical moment President Obama has an opportunity to act boldly for a new, clean future. Send President Obama and Prime Minister Harper a letter. Urge them to continue President Obama's path forward for a green energy revolution. Tell them not to step backwards by locking the U.S. into a future dependent on dirty tar sands oil.

Instructions:

Go to the bottom of the action page.
Read the sample letter and modify if you can. Personalized letter text and/or subject headers will increase the impact of your letter.
Clicking "Send My Message" will send your letter via email to President Obama and Prime Minister Harper.
