VOTE Tuesday, November 4, 2014
Your vote on November 4 is absolutely critical. We need to elect leaders who know climate
disruption is real, and know we need to act. If we don’t go to the polls, extremists like former
House Speaker Bill O’Brien will repeal the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (REGGI) and
block sensible energy legislation in the State House in Concord. In Washington, if climate
deniers continue to block legislation in Congress and support Big Oil and Coal, smart solutions
will see more delays. We cannot let that happen again. Be sure to vote this November, and
better yet, get engaged now and bring a friend with you to the polls – it matters!
