Dear Friend,
Yesterday, President Obama made history by signing comprehensive health care reform into law. This is a game changer -- and it's our big chance to seize the momentum that Congress is feeling.
That's why we have to act right now to pass a strong clean energy and climate bill in the Senate. Our movement needs to stand up and say: "We Got Next."
I'm a basketball fan -- but this year, the drama of "March Madness" is a lot bigger than college basketball. This week's health care victory shows that, on or off the court, the underdog can triumph.
To win on clean energy legislation, our movement will need to topple the goliaths of big oil and their starting lineup of high-paid lobbyists. We can't match their resources, but we can beat them with passion and commitment. Clean energy has been on the sidelines long enough -- it's time to tell Congress that the next game in town is ours.
So join the urgent call for a strong clean energy and climate bill. Sign on to tell your Senators that "We Got Next" -- and then forward this email to all your friends. We'll deliver your signature and comments straight to their offices later this week:

We need to seize this momentum and get our Senators into the game for clean energy -- and Repower America has prepared a strong playbook for the upcoming push. We need supporters like you all across the country to write letters, make calls, visit Senate offices and build pressure for the strongest possible clean energy and climate legislation. And it starts right now, with a clear and urgent demand:
We Got Next.
This is a big moment, and I'm glad you are on our team,
Dave Boundy
Campaign Manager

P.S. -- Senator John Kerry, one of the key Senators leading the push for a strong climate and clean energy bill, said this week, "In the wake of health care's passage, we have a strong case to make that this can be the next breakthrough legislative fight... It's now or never."* But he and his allies can't get the votes in the Senate unless we can show widespread grassroots support -- so sign our urgent petition now: We Got Next.
