JOIN UP: League of Conservation Voters Days of Action on Energy Bill

From NM League of Conservation Voters:
In the next couple of weeks we are embarking on a big public campaign to hold our elected officials accountable on the controversial Energy Bill that is working its way through Congress.

The House has already cast their votes and now it's up to our own Senators Pete Domenici and Jeff Bingaman to craft a bill that helps solve America's energy problems - not give more money to big oil and corporate ruin of our environment.

Please join us for these important upcoming events and help us hold our Congressional delegation accountable! (See below.)

Saturday, May 28 - 10 AM; 12 PM; and 2 PM: Canvass
LCV New Mexico Office: 400 Gold Ave. SW (4th & Gold), Suite 110 (ground floor - 4th St. entrance)

We will be talking to voters in Albuquerque to let them know about the upcoming energy bill vote, to inform them of Congresswoman Wilson's votes on the issue, and to urge them to contact Senator Domenici to craft a bill that is smart, clean, and conservationist.

Please come for a shift at 10 AM, 12 PM, or 2 PM - whichever fits your schedule best.

Saturday, May 28 - 10 AM - 2 PM: Letter Writing
LCV New Mexico Office: 400 Gold Ave. SW (4th & Gold), Suite 110 (ground floor - 4th St. entrance)

If you cannot canvass or if you only have a short period of time to help, please stop by the office on Saturday and help us write letters to voters we cannot contact at the door. Having a personal letter delivered will have a strong effect on voters' desire to take action and contact their congressional representative.

Thursday, June 2 - 10 AM: Press Conference and Protest against Congresswoman Heather Wilson
Galeria Building (Heather's office) - 2nd and Copper - Downtown

We will be staging a protest against Congresswoman Wilson's vote to allow corporations to poison groundwater - including the Edgewood water supply in her home district - with the toxic substance MTBE, a gasoline additive. This vote would allow corporations to poison ground water with MTBE and not be responsible for cleaning up a polluted supply.

Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday Night - 5:30 - 8 PM: Volunteer Outreach and Office Work

We need your help contacting and scheduling volunteers as well as help with various office needs such as data entry. We can also use general office help whenever your schedule permits - just let us know when you are available.

As always, if you have any questions regarding the above-listed events, please call us at 505-244-1077 or e-mail us! Thank you, and see you all soon!
