As the US House nears a historic vote on climate change legislation, several Congressmen with districts on the Great Lakes are still on the fence as to whether or not they will support the bill. The America’s Clean Energy and Security Act promises to help the Great Lakes by protecting the lakes from the predicted devestating affects of climate change as well as providing money toward restoration goals.

Take a look at the list of lawmakers below and please call the Capitol Switchboard 202-224-3121 if any are from your state and urge s/he to protect the lakes by voting in favor of ACESA.
