<div><big><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Hi all, <br>
<br>
See below the verbatim alert from 'Vote Solar' (which gets funding from
fossil fuel energy corporations like PG&E, Chevron, BP, and
Edison); an alert that ridiculously says we should tell our
congressmembers that they should approve the Wall Street bank bail-out
and sell out the American people and economy to massive corrupt
mega-banks and insurance companies, just because the sell-out/bail-out
now contains an amendment that extends solar credits. Perhaps 'Vote
Solar' would care to address the reality that hundreds of thousands of
homeowners under mortgage stress and out of work because the bail-out
bill doesn't help them, will not be able to buy solar panels at any
price...<br>
<br>
Here's 'Vote Solar's' absurd alert:</font></big><br>

Congress is set to vote on the future of solar in America in the next
36 hours.<br>

The Senate has included the critical clean energy tax
incentives--including an 8 year extension of the 30% investment tax
credit, with removal of residential caps--in the bailout package (aka
the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008). This adds a
significant job development enhancement to the package--according to <a
href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=%2Fa577dIbE2iNftMZLLtSVGbTQF2JKxCP">this
study</a> by Navigant, 1.2 million of them. Now the bailout is not
just greenbacks for Wallstreet, but also green jobs for Mainstreet, if
you will. The bill will likely pass the Senate tonight, but prospects
in the House are much more uncertain.</span></div>
<p><span>If you want to see the tax credits go through, call your
representative in the House to urge their support for <span>the
Senate-passed Stabilization Bill.</span><br>
<br>
<b><i><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">-Call Instructions-</span></i></b><br>
<br>
1) Call the Capitol Hill Switchboard (202-224-3121) and ask for your
House Member's office number.<br>
<br>
2) When you call the office, state your name and location and ask to be
transferred to the Chief of Staff. If she/he isn't available, ask to
leave a message for her/him. <br>
<br>
3) Sample message: "My name is _____ and I am calling from (location)
to urge Representative XX to vote "YES" on the Economic Stabilization
bill coming over from the Senate. The clean energy tax incentives
extender package was added to the bill, and if signed into law, 1.2
million employment opportunities, including 440,000 permanent jobs, and
$232 billion in new investment would be generated in the U.S. by the
solar energy sector alone through 2016. Thank you in advance for
building the clean energy economy of tomorrow by voting YES on the
Economic Stabilization Bill coming over from the Senate."</span></p>
