I work with Repower America here in Nebraska and I'm in search of local folks like yourself to help us emphasize how important clean energy legislation is RIGHT NOW! I would love to meet with you to talk about ways we can work together. Please give me a call as soon as you can. With the Boxer-Kerry bill dropping today... we have to act NOW!!! My phone number is 712-304-1089. Thanks much. Take care and stay green. :)
