End of Quarter Coming: 3 Ways to Help
The end of the third quarter is quickly approaching. There’s three easy things you can do at this point to help this campaign:
- Join our email list. Hear directly from Jon about his opinion on the issues and find out the latest news about the campaign.
- Sign the Energy Petition. Join Jon’s call for America to embrace a real energy policy, one that diversifies our energy base, strengthens rural economies, and provides cleaner alternatives.
- Donate. Running for office is expensive these days. Lend a hand and help us get Jon elected.
Jon sent an email today to a number of people who came to the Pearl Jam concert last month. Check it out after the jump:
Two weeks ago, in the wake of skyrocketing gas and energy prices, I wrote to members of our campaign — asking you to step forward with me and demand that Congress and the President develop a comprehensive new energy policy.Now, as more of our energy infrastructure is under threat from Hurricane Rita, our need for a forward-thinking energy policy is greater than ever. If you haven??t yet signed the petition demanding that President Bush and Congress get serious about energy, please do so today:

All Americans felt the impact of Hurricane Katrina on our nation??s energy supplies. Prices at the pump skyrocketed, and the price of natural gas and home heating oil climbed to new highs, even as temperatures dip here in Montana.
The price of oil, gasoline and natural gas is only going up in the future. Yet this President has no comprehensive plan to alleviate the rising costs of energy over the long term.
Instead of working to reduce our dependence on foreign oil or to tap the potential of alternative energies that can be developed here in Montana, President Bush last month signed an energy bill that gave billions of dollars in tax breaks to oil companies.
And now Republicans in Congress are talking about yet another energy bill that will give these companies even more handouts.
That??s not what we need. We know that over the long term, oil prices are only likely to rise. America needs a smarter, more forward-thinking energy policy???and that??s the type of energy policy I??m going to fight for in the U.S. Senate.
Please join me in that fight:

Here in Montana, we??ve taken a lead on developing alternative energy sources. We passed my bill in the 2005 Legislature that promotes renewable energy development to bring jobs to rural Montana and will help lower energy rates to consumers.
With proper investment and support from the federal government, we could strengthen Montana??s economy, reduce our nation??s dependence on foreign oil, and decrease our vulnerability to the types of price shocks that we??ve seen this hurricane season by diversifying our energy sources and increasing efficiency.
It??s time for Congress and this President to get serious about energy. Please join me by signing the petition demanding a comprehensive new energy plan:
