Advocacy Project: Letter to an Elected Official

VOTE NO ON H.R. 97—FREE INDUSTRY ACT (INTRODUCED IN HOUSE-IH)

The proposed issue will have a major impact on people worldwide and the environment. The bill is requesting that the Greenhouse Gases be taken off of the Clear Air Act. If this bill were to pass, it would be a huge mistake, as we are trying to improve our environment from the damage we have already and currently are causing.

As a student in an environmental health class I have become more aware of issues that are going on in the world, especially in the United States. And although we have made great strides in trying to improve our environment by becoming more consciously aware and implementing new ideas and programs, taking the Greenhouse Gases off the Clear Air Act, I feel, would set us back.

A supporter of this bill might say that industries are capable of regulating what toxins are put into the atmosphere or that Greenhouse Gases aren’t responsible for Global Warming. A supporter may even go as far as to say that Global Warming doesn’t even exist. Although there may be evidence to show that Global Warming isn’t occurring, there is stronger evidence showing that it is.  Glaciers are melting, leaving certain animals, such as the polar bear, without a habit to live in adequately.  

I appreciate you for taking the time to listen. I hope to see that you care just as much about the environment as I have become and vote “no” to H.R. 97. If I can provide anymore information, please feel free to contact me at 555-123-4567.

  2. Your letter is very concise! I think this issue is very controversial so sending letters like this will be important for it to pass. This letter was easy to understand and seemed very sincere.
