Rep. Gonzalez,

We are writing to encourage you to support HR 763. This bill presents a relatively simple, business friendly approach to bettering environmental conditions in this country.

Several of our local CCL chapter members had a very constructive discussion with your policy advisor Michael Cunnington on April 13. We were heartened to hear that your office is aware that climate change is real and is significantly compounded by human activity. Moreover, Mr. Cunnington outlined some of the conditions that, due to climate change, have negatively affected northeast Ohio. We thank you for actively working on environmental legislation such the BEST Act.

We are a collective of people of all political persuasions. We seek a practical, achievable, long-term reduction in greenhouse gas production in this country, which also enables job growth and energy innovation here in Ohio. This is not a Republican or Democratic position. It is a moral position. Let’s create a cleaner environment for our children and grandchildren.

If you are not familiar with HR 763, here is a link to a brief summary.

With Best Regards,

Andrew S Cary andy.cary@coiltek.com
