2 FLORIDA ACTIONS
1. Let's tell Marco Rubio how he is doing
Marco Rubio wants to know how he and the Republicans are doing. Please note that the questions are slanted toward a desired outcome. We will most likely have to write in the issues that are important to us (i.e. environment, education, healthcare). Let's take his survey!
2. Oppose direct-to-voicemail Robocalls
Florida state attorney general Pam Bondi has yet to comment on the Republican-endorsed proposal to allow robocalls that go straight to voicemail. Ask Bondi to comment publicly in opposition invasive voicemails.
Call Pam Bondi 1-866-966-7226 or write:
Office of the Attorney General
The Capitol PL-01
Tallahassee FL 32399-1050.
2 CALIFORNIA ACTIONS
1. Oppose the Tesoro Refinery's Dangerous Expansion
On May 12 the South Coast Air Quality Management District's board hastily approved a merger between LA based oil refinery Tesoro and oil giant BP. This approval undermines LA Mayor Garcetti's goals with respect to the Paris Climate Agreement and represents a stark departure from CA's world-renowned leadership on clean energy and climate change. It also comes despite known harms the project will cause not just in LA but along the entire West Coast.
Call Wayne Nastri, the Executive Director of the South Coast Air Quality Management District, at 909-396-3131 (or email):
"Hi, I'm calling about the Tesoro refinery's expansion, to which I am opposed. California is supposed to be leading the charge against climate change, and this isn't the way to get there!"
2. CA Action Make Calls to pass Solar Legislation
Contact your CA State Assembly Member and ask them to vote YES on SB 71 & 700, two solar bills that just passed the State Senate! SB 71 authorizes the implementation of a solar roof mandate, which will require solar panels to be installed on most new buildings in CA. SB 700 provides rebates to customers for installing energy storage systems, which allow solar power to be used at all hours of the day by addressing the so-called "duck curve" - the challenge of over-production of solar energy during the day and under-production at night.
SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTION
June 20 will be the special election in another surprisingly competitive race in Frank Underwood's District, a red district that can help flip the balance of power.
