Dear Scotts Contracting,

The only way we'll beat the power of their money is with the power of people, including you.

We've built an amazing new web resource that exposes the dirty energy money behind California's Proposition 23 & 26. But we need your help to get the word out.

Proposition 23 would suspend California's law that aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Did you know that 93% of the funding behind Prop 23 is from the oil, gas, and coal industries?

Check out our website and hit 'Share this' to share it with your friends.

Proposition 26 would make it harder to pass new and increased state and local fees - the fees that many of California's environmental protection programs are funded with.

Did you know that Chevron is the #1 funder behind Prop 26?

We need more people to know this, and to understand the influence of dirty energy money. A lot more.

Go to our Prop 23 web resource and read all about these California voter propositions on the site. You can also go to the main Dirty Energy Money site and check on the latest campaign donations to the incumbents in your areas. Even if you're not in California, it's important that we expose the role of the dirty energy industry in polluting our democracy.

The oil, gas and coal industries have spent hundreds of millions buying our democracy this year. We may not be able to stop them fully yet, but we can make sure that more and more people are educated about their role.

The only way we'll beat the power of their money is with the power of people, including you.

Please take a look at our web resource and tell your friends today.

Thanks for everything you do – and don't forget to vote next week!

Peace,

Steve Kretzmann
