Vic Snyder votes for American Clean Energy Security Act despite criticism from industry

As you may know, Congressman Snyder was the only Arkansas Representative who voted for the American Clean Energy Security Act of 2009 which will provide a new energy policy, cap CO2, and create millions of green collar jobs. You also probably may suspect the backlash from those vested interests who opposed the bill are already attacking Rep. Snyder and may continue throughout the year and into next years elections. I have 3 action items I would like to ask you to consider doing:
1. Send Congressman Snyder a short thank you note telling him you appreciate his courage, vision for the future, and willingness to see the very big picture. His email is
His mailing addresses are: (Note, if you can send asap to his Little Rock address as the US Congress is on July 4th recess.
A. Rep. Vic Snyder, US House of Representatives, 1501 N. University Avenue, Ste. 150, Little Rock, AR 72707
B. Rep Vic Snyder, US House of Representatives, 2210 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, DC 20515
C. Email him by going to his House webpage: www.house.gov/snyder, and go to "contact me"
2. If you have family, friends or colleagues who live in Rep. Snyder’s district ask them to send him a thank you. His district covers central Arkansas.
3. If you are a business owner consider signing a letter of support to Congressman Snyder which will be published in newspapers. Contact Angela Wisely at awisely@audbon.org

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. We really need to ensure that those few elected officials that do have the best interests of Arkansans and Americans remain in office.
Have a great 4th and let’s hope this time next year the US will have meaningful energy and climate policy in place and that the Copenhagen Treaty negotiations have brought about an new world policy on reducing greenhouse gases,
Robert
