Today Former Vice President Al Gore goes before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to testify how we need to get back to global environmental leadership to help combat catastrophic climate change.  One of the first things that needs to be done is to have the government supportive and involved in green technologies.

While Gore is a very vocal advocate for greener legislation and government supported programs, he still needs your help.  That is why the people at Repower America are asking for people to send a letter to congress in support of an economic recovery package that focuses on creating more jobs, and creating green energy sources.

Repower America's goal is to have 100% clean electricity by 2019.  It seems like a large and far off goal, but in actuality it is completely attainable.  We just need governmental support.  By sending your letter to congress through Repower America, you can show that the demand for clean energy is there.

If you're not comfortable signing your name to a letter, go to the website anyway and watch Gore's plea to the people.  Forward the link on to your family members and friends.  There's a lot you can do to help promote a greener America from behind the scenes.
