On June 2, the U.S. Senate will begin debate on America's Climate Security Act (S. 2191 / S. 3036). This is the Lieberman-Warner Bill focused on the global reduction of carbon emissions. AFS is urging Congress to oppose America's Climate Security Act. We believe the U.S. should take a more balanced approach to the global reduction of carbon emissions--one that will mitigate the environmental impacts of global warming while maintaining a focus on the U.S. economy, competitiveness and innovation.
AFS needs you to take action on this critical issue. Your member of Congress is asking for your opinion on the bill, and we have made it easy for you to give it by sending a letter to your member asking them to oppose the Lieberman-Warner bill. Visit www.afsinc.org/climatechange to download a sample letter that just requires your information and that of your Congress person. Then, you can use the contact information we provide to fax it. This website also contains further background information on the climate change issue and the full details on the position AFS has taken on the issue. Your opposition is critical in helping congress understand the position of U.S. metalcasters, and how this bill, in its current form, is only going to further harm U.S. manufacturing.
