Abraham & Harrison Makes a Difference with a Leading Political Organization Noted For Its Success in Political Consulting.
The National Environmental Trust (NET) is a non-partisan organization established in 1994 to inform citizens about environmental problems and how they affect our health and quality of life. Within many conservationist, activist and non-profit circles, NET is widely known for its public education campaigns, use of modern communication techniques and scientific studies that translate the effects of modern environmental issues for everyday citizens.

I wanted to pass you the following press release, http://smnr.us/35mpgby2020, that highlights the fact that it is primarily the auto industry PACs and lobbies that are torpedoing an aggressive Energy Bill and not the members of the auto industry -- the auto workers and dealers. This campaign is called the "The Auto Lobby Doesn’t Speak For Us" campaign and is based over at http://www.35mpgby2020.com.

Here's some pretty cool advanced stuff that is happening on the Hill this weekend in support of Energy Bill 2007, http://www.energybill2007.org, My coalition is running a display ad at the Capitol South metro station in Washington, DC, (see photos below) as well as a huge student lobbying effort about global warming and the Energy Bill (http://powershift07.org/lobby) going on right now and through Monday (see talking points below). This big event is called Power Shift Day 07 and you're welcome to explore the web site and also check out the talking points, either in HTML or as the original PDF.
