Subject: Information for Sierrans - Climate Action Across Iowa February 15
After the heat, drought, and storms of recent years - especially the Drought of 2012 and the Hurricane Sandy - it is time for American leadership on climate change. As people gather in Washington, DC for the national rally "Forward on Climate" on Sunday, February 17, people in Iowa can ask their Congressional representatives and Senators to take climate action this year. Some of the priority climate actions include:
> Making the renewable energy tax credit permanent
> Ending billions in fossil fuel subsidies and divesting from fossil fuels
> Stopping the Keystone "Export" pipeline
> Stopping oil drilling in the Arctic Ocean
> Extending greenhouse gas regulations to existing coal plants
> Ending the clean water and clean air exemptions for fracking
> Adopting a carbon tax or revenue-neutral carbon fee and dividend
On Friday, February 15, Iowans across the state are asking our Congressional representatives and Senators for climate action by delivering letters and postcards to their offices supporting climate action. Here is the schedule of events so far:
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15
Des Moines – 9:00 a.m. – Meet outside the office of Congressman Tom Latham, 2700 Grand Avenue Suite 109, then travel to the federal building, 210 Walnut Street, to deliver letters and postcards to the offices of Senator Grassley and Senator Harkin

You can check our web site, www.iowaclimateadvocates.org<http://www.iowaclimateadvocates.org/>, for additional events as they are scheduled. Or you can send an email to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> to see if anyone has organized a climate action in your community or to volunteer to organize your own.
Letters and postcards can be written to our Congressional representatives and Senators at their local offices or their Washington, DC offices. The important thing is to write and get your letter or postcard to our Congressional representatives and Senators soon urging them to support climate action in 2013!
If you would like someone else to deliver the letter or postcard, send it to a local event organizer, or send it to Rob Hogg, 2750 Otis Road SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403, and we will get it to the right location.
