Tell Valero: There's a high cost to your climate obstruction in California.
Send a message to Valero's CEO:
Your message to Valero CEO Bill Klesse: I will be boycotting all Valero Energy owned and supplied gas stations until you drop your funding of the ballot initiative that will destroy California's landmark clean energy and air pollution law, AB 32.

Dear Friend,
Texas oil companies are stepping up their multi-million dollar campaign to reverse California's landmark anti-global warming law, AB 32. In fact, Valero Energy just wrote another $3 million check to fund Proposition 23, the deceptive November ballot initiative that we first alerted you about a few months ago. Oil company executives may see a contribution like this as a small investment to protect their profits and avoid having to confront pesky pollution reduction regulations in California. But we need to show them that their attack on California's environmental policies will have an even bigger cost: your business.

Will you send a message to Valero C.E.O Bill Klesse that you will boycott Valero gas until his company stops funding Prop 23? Your message will be immediately delivered to him.

Texas oil companies like Valero and Tesoro have now contributed more than $5 million to fund Proposition 23. And unless we ramp up the pressure, we can expect that there's a lot more to come. Back in 2006, oil companies spent more than $90 million to defeat Proposition 87, an initiative that would have funded alternative energy research with profits from oil drilling. It was the most ever spent on a California initiative, and big oil's campaign worked. $90 million bought a lot of scary ads — and defeat for Prop 87.

And it's the same story with the failed Senate climate bill. Spending millions to oppose climate legislation — whether for high priced Washington lobbying efforts or for misleading electoral campaigns in California — is apparently an acceptable cost of doing business today for dirty oil companies.

But that will change when they don't have our business anymore. And that's the card we need to play as oil companies like Valero and Tesoro consider how much more to spend on Proposition 23 over the next two months.

Send your message to Valero CEO Bill Klesse telling him you'll be boycotting Valero gas and spreading the word to your friends.

This fight to save AB 32 is going down in California, but it has national implications. If Texas Oil Companies succeed in rewriting California's global warming laws, it won't just hurt California's effort to curb harmful carbon emissions — it will be a giant step back for nationwide efforts to fight global warming.

So we need to make it clear to Valero — and oil companies everywhere — that there's a high cost to their obstruction of vital climate policies like AB32.Valero and Tesoro operate gas stations under the following brands. Boycott all of
these locations:

Pledge to boycott all of these stations and send a message to Bill Klesse and Valero Energy.Valero's CEO needs to hear the message loud and clear. Sign the pledge and join the boycott of Valero. Your pressure works.

Let's Get Clean Energy Right

We need to ensure large-scale solar projects protect struggling wildlife like rare desert tortoises.


Urge your senators and representative to cosponsor the Clean Energy, Community Investment and Wildlife Conservation Act.

Forward this message to at least five others who care about wildlife and wild places.

Dear Concerned Citizen,

We’ve all seen the tragic images of oil-soaked birds and beaches in the Gulf -- a terrible reminder of our addiction to dirty energy sources.

But new legislation in Congress would set us on the path to a clean energy future -- while protecting wildlife and the places it needs to survive.

Take action now. Urge your senators and representative to support the Clean Energy, Community Investment and Wildlife Conservation Act (S. 3587 and H.R. 5735).

This bill, introduced By Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) and Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) and by Rep. Dean Heller (R-NV) in the House, will help accelerate our transition to a green energy economy, produce new jobs, and ensure that risks to wildlife and wild lands are avoided, minimized and mitigated.

Without proper guidance, renewable energy can spell disaster for threatened and imperiled wildlife. If built in the wrong place, large-scale solar projects can damage vital habitat for struggling desert tortoises and wind turbines can kill rare whooping cranes if placed in vital migration routes.

But carefully and responsibly planned renewable energy projects can quickly be built to meet our energy needs -- and protect our wildlife and wild places.

Tell your senators and representative to cosponsor legislation to make renewable energy smart from the start!

The offshore Gulf oil disaster shows the horrible consequences of our dependency on fossil fuels -- and the need to transition to cleaner, more wildlife-friendly sources to meet our energy needs.

The Clean Energy, Community Investment and Wildlife Conservation Act is a great first step toward ensuring renewable energy development happens smart from the start.

The bill will help ensure that wind and solar energy development happens on the most suitable lands with strong guidance to minimize water use and impacts to fish and wildlife habitat. It will also guarantee that a portion of the funds generated by the development of renewable energy on public lands goes toward safeguarding wildlife and wild spaces.

Please write your elected officials today to support this important legislation.
Together, we can achieve our clean energy future while protecting our diverse wildlife and treasured landscape.
