Dear Friend,

Global climate change is perhaps the greatest challenge of our generation.
What we do (or don't do) affects not only our nation, but the world. You
might thank that, with a new president poised to take office, we're in a
great position to take serious action to address climate change.
Unfortunately, a grizzled legislator named John Dingell, known as the
"Congressman from General Motors," is standing in our way.

The most important pieces of legislation addressing climate change must
pass through the House Energy and Commerce Committee. As chair of that
committee, Congressman Dingell has exerted his power time and again to
kill bills that could roll back global warming. Dingell has lined his
campaign war chest with millions of dollars of contributions from
electric, oil and coal companies. His wife (and potential successor to his
Congressional seat) is a senior executive at General Motors. What's more,
until recently, he wouldn't even admit that climate change was a real
threat.

I just signed a petition calling on my member of Congress to vote for
Congressman Henry Waxman (a staunch environmentalist) to replace Dingell
as the Energy and Commerce Chair -- I hope you will too.

Please have a look and take action.
