Dear John,

Moving fuel in a warzone. It's probably the most dangerous job
in the world, costing over 1000 American lives. I should know. I
was the Chief Logistics Officer under General David Petraeus in
Iraq. During my 15 months over there, I became convinced our
young men and women are getting killed moving fuel we wouldn?t
need if our military was more efficient. That's why I chose to
be in this new clean energy ad for VoteVets.org

There are many ways that energy reform will help save lives. For
example, simply insulating our inefficient structures in theater
will not only save Billions of dollars (Yes, with a "B"), but
will get thousands of fuel trucks and escorts off the most
dangerous roads in the world. It?s through my experiences of
overseeing the fuel resupply effort in Iraq that I learned the
importance of energy efficiency, reducing risks to our troops,
getting us off of foreign oil, and developing new, renewable
fuel technologies. 

A clean energy plan seems common sense to me, but passage of the
plan isn't a sure thing. I see this plan as a way to save
American lives, protect America, and create thousands of new
jobs. Some industries sees it as a threat to their bottom line
but fail to see a great opportunity for not only their bottom
line, but our national security, financial independence, and
economic prosperity.

Right now, the Senate is considering a clean energy climate
plan, that will cut our dependence on foreign oil in half, drive
our nation to embrace energy efficiency, and bring about a
revolution in new clean, renewable fuel technologies that won't
just help us here at home, but will save American lives abroad.
Our Senators have to make a choice - keep spending billions of
dollars a day on foreign oil, or let America keep paying the
price.

We don't have a moment to waste, and I'm committed to doing
everything I can to see that Congress passes a clean energy plan
this year. Can I count on you to stand with me? Can we stand
together to fight for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan
supporting fuel missions in which every bend in the road could
be their last? Please click the link above, and join me in this
important fight.

Thanks for all of your support.

Sincerely,

Brigadier General Steven M. Anderson, US Army (Retired)
Former Chief of Logistics (MNF-I C4) in Iraq (August
2006-November 2007)
