| Texas oil companies want to stop California before we can really implement AB 32, our landmark climate change legislation. Valero Energy Corp. and Tesoro Corp., both based in Texas, are almost single-handedly financing a measure that would eviscerate AB 32. The two companies have pledged $2 million to help get the initiative on the ballot, and even tried to sneak their contributions past any observers.
We cannot afford to turn around now. Today, I want to make my support for this vital piece of environmental legislation crystal clear. I applaud Governor Schwarzenegger for his commitment to AB 32, and call on others to join the fight to protect AB 32.
I urge you to join me in supporting California's landmark greenhouse gas pollution law by signing my petition for climate change solutions.
I am committed to protecting the environment, and that is why I am proud to be the endorsed candidate of the California League of Conservation Voters. If you'd like to help my campaign to defend our precious natural resources, please consider donating to our campaign.
Economic studies show that we can fight climate change and can create jobs at the same time. We cannot let Texas oil companies muddy the waters so that they can continue to practice business as usual while the environment pays the price. California has always been a leader in protecting our environment, and together we can ensure that we never abdicate this role.
Kamala Harris is the District Attorney of the City and County of San Francisco, and is a candidate for Attorney General of the State of California. |
