No nation will be able to meet the challenges of growing the economy and creating jobs in the 21st century without a serious investment in green technology. And no nation -- regardless of size or wealth -- will be able to escape the impact of climate change. It's an urgent message many don't want to hear -- but one President Obama boldly delivered to the U.N. Climate Change Summit at a major speech on Tuesday.
In June, the House of Representatives passed a historic energy and climate bill, an important first step towards fighting climate change and creating new jobs and new industries while helping American families save money on energy bills.
We can meet these urgent challenges, but to keep moving forward, we'll need to show that the American people understand the need for change, and that we're ready to fight for it.
You can help by spreading the word about the need for bold, forceful action to combat climate change -- write a letter to the editor today.
We need to make it clear that solving our climate crisis is crucial to transforming our economy, preserving our planet, and our enhancing our everyday lives. A letter to the editor is one of the best ways to make your voice widely heard.

As the President said yesterday:
The journey is long. The journey is hard. And we don't have much time left to make it. It is a journey that will require each of us to persevere through setback, and fight for every inch of progress, even when it comes in fits and starts. So let us begin. For if we are flexible and pragmatic; if we can resolve to work tirelessly in common effort, then we will achieve our common purpose: a world that is safer, cleaner, and healthier than the one we found; and a future that is worthy of our children.
You can help achieve this bold vision by writing a letter to the editor today.
Thank you,
Mitch
