Body of the email I just sent President Bush:
Dear Mr. President,
I ask for your support of the Renewable Energy and Job Creation Act of 2008, HR6049, which has been passed by the House and was introduced to the Senate last week.
Two years ago, Mr. President, you said that America was addicted to oil. You even made it sound like you would take some action to break that addiction. Your latest blustering to Congress shows that you aren’t serious about breaking the addiction at all. You’re encouraging it!
America needs a strong and innovative energy policy, one that breaks our dependence on oil and that promotes alternative sources of energy. Offshore and ANWAR drilling are not the answers. Increased fuel efficiency is important. But the most important thing is to extend the incentives for alternative energy sources.
Thank you for taking the time to consider changing your position on this issue and lending your support to this important legislation. You still have a few more months left in which you can work on improving your legacy – this could be your opportunity!
Regards,
Chris Schultz
I also sent similar emails to my Senators, asking for their support of the bill. Here’s a link to the Thomas Friedman column that spurred me to write.

I guess this is his parting gift.
Sent one myself. Thanks for the incentive!
I agree with ElusiveWords. One good deed before the exit!
Parting gift is right indeed!
I agree driliing alone is not the solution! We also need conservation and renewable energy!
Oh I wish he would listen to you or at least try to change what he’s doing. Bush has mentioned over and over again in many different speeches as to how our dependence on oil is causing issues and yet he has done absolutely nothing about it except to say that we should drill more… sigh.
I’m with you! Have written as well. Drilling is NOT the answer. Whatever happened to reducing our USE? Sheesh!
