Subject: America's Governors Declare Energy Independence!
Date: Fri, July 15, 2005 1:36 pm
Dear John,
This just in! Seven of the nation's most influential Governors--Governors Rod
Blagojevich D-IL, Jim Doyle D-WI, Christine Gregoire D-WA, Ted Kulongoski D-OR,
Janet Napolitano D-AZ, Bill Richardson D-NM, and Brian Schweitzer D-MT-- signed an
open letter to the President urging him to make energy independence a top national
priority. They called on the President to "lead a bold national project to achieve
environmentally and economically sustainable American energy independence within a decade."
America's Governors Call for Bold Solutions as the Energy Bill Moves Forward
The call for energy independence from seven prominent Governors comes at a crucial
moment as the long-awaited conference committee meets to negotiate the energy bill.
In light of soaring gas prices, lawmakers are under pressure to send the President
an energy bill before the congressional recess in August.
Governor Rod Blagojevich (D-IL), noted that both the House and Senate versions of
the energy bill do little to stop rising gas prices. "We need an energy bill that
delivers relief to everyday people who work hard to make ends meet," said
Blagojevich.

Now is the Time to Support Energy Independence!
As our country faces unprecedented challenges to our economy, our security, and the
health of our environment -- as our communities continue to hemorrhage high quality
jobs and families face rising prices for gas -- we need a better vision, and real
leadership in a new direction.
It's time for more political leaders to step up and seize the historic opportunity
to make clean energy the backbone of America's economic and security future. We
applaud the seven Governors for calling for a forward looking energy policy. Please
take a moment to see what they had to say, and take action telling your family and
friends and by supporting the Apollo Alliance to continue building on their historic
leadership.

Dear John,
On July 4, 1776, our founding fathers declared our independence from an oppressive
foreign power. And -- against all odds -- the movement they led won America its
freedom.
Today, America faces a different form of dependence: an oppressive reliance on a
