Global Warming Threatens Polar Bears
WESTERA... NOTICE THE SECOND SENTENCE: Liberal propaganda ?
I saw the polar bears on TV last night. Sitting on pieces of ice no larger than a swimming pool. No place to go and no food. Please don't tell me this it propaganda... It's real
Responsible stewardship of the Earth is a value shared by most Americans. Unfortunately, our global warming policies fall far short of this ideal. A recent report on global warming's impact in the Arctic projects that, if we don't act to reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases, global sea level could rise and Arctic-dependent species such as polar bears and migratory birds could become extinct. Please contact your senators and representative and urge them to act responsibly on global warming by supporting the Climate Stewardship Act to reduce emissions of heat-trapping gases.

Your U.S. senators and representative
Dear Member of Congress,
I was disturbed by the findings of the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report. This comprehensive study by nearly 300 independent scientists clearly demonstrates that global warming is changing our planet and that these changes--such as sea-level rise--will affect all of us. The time for debate is over; it is time to reduce our emissions of the heat-trapping gases contributing to global warming.
In the absence of federal action, U.S. emissions have risen 12 percent since 1990. It is time for Congress to act. To this end, I urge you to support the Climate Stewardship Act (CSA), which was introduced in Congress by Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Joseph Lieberman (D-CT), and Representatives Wayne Gilchrest (R-MD) and John Olver (D-MA). The CSA takes a modest first step toward limiting carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases from major industrial sources. Global warming poses a serious threat to our economy and way of life.
The CSA's market-based approach offers a flexible, affordable way to curb the costly environmental, public health, and economic impacts of global warming by setting mandatory limits on emissions from relevant sectors of the economy and encouraging an increase in energy efficiency and renewable electricity generation. By encouraging investment in clean energy solutions, the bill would also ensure that American technology remains competitive as other countries move to reduce their own emissions.
Please plan responsibly for our children and grandchildren's future by supporting the Climate Stewardship Act. I look forward to hearing your position on this issue.
Sincerely,
(your name and address will be inserted)
