CLEAN ENERGY PETITION TO GOVERNOR BAKER

CLEAN ENERGY PETITION TO GOVERNOR BAKER

Everyone, please sign this ASAP!

 

Urge Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker to implement key policies regarding energy policy, natural gas, and slowing climate change.

Governor Baker is aggressively promoting natural-gas pipeline expansion for Massachusetts and New England. He is also championing statewide or regional tariffs on electric ratepayers to pay for new gas infrastructure.  [Links to news coverage at the end of this post.]

This petition was developed by a working group including members of Pioneer Valley CAN and the StopNED Coalition, to send a message to the governor that citizens want and need policies that exclude greater use of natural gas or any fossil fuels.  Any person or group who supports the goals in the petition is invited to circulate it.  Please share widely!

THIS PETITION MAY BE SIGNED ONLINE  (Click HERE):

You can download this .pdf file to print copies to circulate. Click here for petition file

This petition has no deadline.  When you have a good batch of signatures, write to us at petition@stopned.org so we can arrange to pick them up.  Or you may decide to deliver your signatures to the Governor directly.  If you do, please keep copies of your signature pages, and let us know the count at petition@stopned.org.  Please send any questions or comments to this email as well.

This petition is one of many ways to speak out to the Governor.  We need to flood him with our information and perspectives!
