Yesterday, President Obama just signed into law an economic recovery bill containing $87 billion in green investment funds–the largest investment ever in clean energy solutions! This is only the first step of many to solve the climate challenge and build a clean economy. In the months ahead, we’ll have to keep pushing Congress and the President to enact strong caps on carbon pollution and a halt to new coal power plants.

Tonight, Fairfax County’s Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA-11th) will be talking to a packed town hall meeting at the Fairfax City Library about what congress is doing to stop global warming and what you need to do to keep up the pressure.

“We must take action now to arrest global warming. With the strong support of President Obama, I am hopeful that the 111th Congress will be a turning point on global warming and the advancement of green technology and clean, renewable energy sources. We must take aggressive steps to push our environmental agenda before it is too late,” Congressman Gerry Connolly said.
