H.R. 2454. No, this is not a Human Resources code violation. Yet, it does have to do with humans and resources. You guessed it, smartie-pants, that H.R. stands for House of Representatives and this bill, the American Clean Energy and Security Act, is really hot.
The American Clean Energy and Security Act is a crucial piece of legislation that, if passed, will allow the Obama administration to take an actionable plan to the Copenhagen Conference in December 2009. This is it. This is our last chance to start reversing climate change. If you care about your kids, their kids, your second cousin's kids, your awesome coworker's kids, your annoying coworker's kids (we don't have one of those, but we sympathize if you do), your tax guy's kids, your yoga instructor's kids, your mailman's kids, your Polish pen pal's kids, your dog's kids, or even just your mom's kids (yes, that's you), then tell your representative to vote 'YES'.
This link will guide you directly to your representative's website, where you can send him/her an email using the form provided. It's easy, really easy. But, to make it even easier—hey, we like to help you out when we can—feel free to use the example below. And if you're more of a phone guy or gal, you can call 877-9-REPOWER and Repower America will connect you directly with your representative's office.

Dear Representative (your congressman/congresswoman's last name here)
No doubt you get countless emails, letters and phone calls each day. Everyone wants your ear, wants you to hear them out. Well I'll keep it really simple: PLEASE pass the American Clean Energy and Security Act.
The US missed an opportunity with Kyoto. Let's not make the same mistake again; let's stop being the lazy overweight kid who's dragging the rest of the world down with our high emissions and, up until now, low capacity for real, sustained change.
Seriously, Copenhagen is our last hope to help undo global warming and, as you know, the American Clean Energy and Security Act lays the necessary groundwork.
I respectfully ask you to vote for this bill. Be a global citizen who represents America.
Thank you,
(your name here)
