ASES Action Alert: Big Day for Wind Power

ACTION ALERT:
Contact Congress to extend the Solar Tax Credits If you make only one call this year, this is the one

Dear Solar Supporter,

Congress is set to vote on the solar tax credits TONIGHT in the U.S. Senate and then in the U.S. House.

We need your immediate help to extend the solar tax credits. Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 will extend the solar residential and commercial Investment Tax Credits for eight years and will remove the monetary cap. Now is the time to act.

Even though the Senate votes first, the biggest battle will likely be in the House. If you make only one call to Congress this year, calling your Representative is the one to make. Your call is key to keeping the solar tax credits in this bill and getting them passed.

TAKE ACTION:
Contact your Congressperson in the U.S. House of Representatives now to urge him or her to "Extend the Investment Tax Credit by voting YES on the Senate Stabilization Bill."

Reinforce that they need to support solar energy to get your vote in November.

Find your Congressperson's Washington phone number here (just add your zip code) or contact the switchboard at Congress: 202.225.3121.

Please take action now and spread the word.

With sincere thanks,

Brad Collins
Executive Director
American Solar Energy Society

P.S. Your call is urgently needed to help increase the use of solar energy and generate the green-collar jobs needed to get the U.S. economy back on track. Thanks for your ongoing support. Your call makes a difference.
