John --

Here's something Mitt Romney actually joked about with pride -- 
and plenty of scorn -- while formally accepting the Republican 
nomination for president of the United States:

"President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the 
oceans and heal the planet."

And the crowd went wild.

It is nothing short of terrifying to imagine a party that openly mocks 
climate change taking back the White House.

The contrast between our candidate and theirs couldn't be any 
clearer.

President Obama has more than doubled the amount of 
electricity we get from wind and solar over his first term -- and 
his plans for wind power are expected to help grow the wind 
industry to support 100,000 jobs by 2016. Both Romney and 
Ryan want to kill the wind production tax credit, which could 
come at the expense of 37,000 American jobs. Oh, but they 
would keep giving $4 billion in tax breaks to Big Oil every 
single year. 

And just this week, while President Obama's administration 
finalized historic fuel economy standards to double our vehicles' 
mileage by 2025 and cut carbon pollution from vehicles in half, 
the GOP adopted a platform that could kill investments in clean 
energy, and calls on Congress to prohibit the EPA from moving 
forward with new greenhouse gas regulations.

Surprise, surprise -- according to the Los Angeles Times, the 
platform "was written at the direction of the Romney campaign," 
making it heavily influenced by Big Oil interests.

So there you have it -- the stakes for clean air, clean water, and 
clean energy jobs couldn't be higher. Join the community that's 
organizing for the only candidate in this race who's fighting for 
them:
