We are tracking two bills:
1. Global Warming Solutions Act
Status - Has passed the Senate. Waiting for a vote by the House. For details see Legislation. A copy of a letter you can send to your Representative asking for a vote now is at the bottom of this page.

2. The Energy Bill (H3965) has passed both the House and Senate. The bill which was passed in each legislative body are not identical so the two bills move to a conference committee. We are seeking to preserve the Senate greenhouse gas emissions standards and coal gasification safeguards in the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard in the final bill.

The conference committee members are:
(D) Senator Pangiotakis - Lowell
(D) Senator Morrissey - Quincy
(R) Senator Tarr - Gloucester
(D) Representative Dempsey - Haverhill
(D) Representative Deleo - Revere
(R) Representative Loscocco - Holliston

How to take action?

• Call the members of the conference committee and let them know what actions we want in the final bill.
• Call your representative and urge them to support the Global Warming Solutions Act.
• Invite your legislators to the Church to discuss Global Warming
• Tell them why Global Warming is important to you
• Send letters to the editor of your local paper
