Thanks so much everyone for your generous contributions to Green Storm!!! We are just a few thousand dollars short of our goal.    We have six hours to reach it—please contribute if you haven’t already, or forward the email below to others if you have.  Thanks again!!

Hi Friends!  Please excuse this group email!   But I wanted to ask to join our Green Storm!!
.

Today I’m joining forces with environmental organizations and grassroots supporters across the country for a one-day GreenStorm to support candidates in the Senate who will fight for, not against, our health and environment.

We MUST protect our allies in the Senate if we’re going to continue to see forward progress on climate change. Our donations can make the difference in close, midterm elections and help these environmental champions emerge victorious on Election Day.

Here are the four GreenStorm candidates I’m supporting:

•        Jeanne Shaheen, New Hampshire: Senator Shaheen has led bipartisan efforts to transition from dirty and dangerous fossil fuel technology to clean, renewable energy. But Big Oil crony and notorious carpet bagger Scott Brown is trying to block her at every step.

•        Mark Udall, Colorado: Senator Mark Udall has worked tirelessly to protect Colorado’s environment, earning him an impressive 97% lifetime score on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard. He’s in a tight race with Tea Party darling and Big Oil ally Cory Gardner, who has a lifetime score of just 9%. Don’t let one of our strongest environmental defenders be replaced by a pro-polluter puppet.

•        Bruce Braley, Iowa: Bruce Braley is committed to working with the EPA to kick our addiction to fossil fuels. But his opponent, State Senator Joni Ernst, has not only directly said she wants to abolish the EPA, but she was also endorsed by Sarah Palin for her extreme views. She is clearly not the kind of person we want representing our country’s heartland.

•        Gary Peters, Michigan: Gary Peters fought for Michigan’s small businesses and families when he took on the Koch brothers and forced them to take their toxic oil byproducts away from the Detroit River – but they’re striking back by running millions in slash and burn attack ads. Help keep the Koch brothers in check.

You can make your donation to all four candidates right here:

These candidates are among the strongest climate leaders we have, and are instrumental to taking on Big Oil and fighting for a better environment for our future. But each of them is being attacked by pro-polluter ads and money. That’s why I’m supporting GreenStorm, and asking you to as well.

We don’t need to out-spend the Koch brothers, but we do need to ensure that the pro-environment candidates standing with us have enough resources to get out their winning messages. The election is in our hands, and if our GreenStorm is strong enough, the polluters won’t know what hit them.

Thanks again!  Dan Weiss
