Fourteen states want to cut their global warming emissions, but an old
Bush administration decision is standing in the way! 
Although the states are eager to impose stricter auto emissions
standards, a federal decision currently forbids them from acting. 
Luckily, the new Obama administration's Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) is considering reversing this bad policy right now. 
They're asking for public input on this decision but we only have five
days left to weigh in. 
Click here to submit your comment before the EPA's April 6th deadline. 
Global warming threatens the future of the entire planet. And pollution
from cars is a prime culprit, accounting for 20% of the nation's carbon
dioxide emissions. 
California and 13 other states, together representing 40% of the U.S.
automobile market, stand ready with a bold solution – require carmakers
to reduce the amount of pollution from their vehicles. 
This would be just the incentive the auto industry needs to start
building cleaner cars. They will have no choice if they want to stay
competitive. And it will be a critical shot-in-the-arm to the green
economy. 
But under the existing Bush administration ruling, these fourteen states
– including New York, California and Arizona – need permission from the
federal government to change their own state regulations. 
It is time to reverse this decision which is blocking progress on global
warming. Please take a moment to submit your comment to the EPA about
this now. 
Don't delay – the comment period ends on April 6th! 
Once you've sent your comment, please help us reach a critical mass by
spreading the word. Click here to urge your friends and family to join
you in contacting the EPA before April 6th. 
Let's make sure we don't miss this chance to improve the way we make our
cars and take huge strides toward cleaner air and a healthier planet. 
Thank you again for your help. 
Sincerely, 
Michael Town
