National Day of Lobbying :: Congressman Pascrell
Today I took part in a National Day of Grassroots Lobbying called by Repower America. I’ll be posting a short video soon. I was joined by representitives from local environmental groups, NJ’s Green Party, and renewable energy business owners, and together we spent over an hour with the Congressman’s District Director, Jackie Grindrod discussing the need for meaningful renewable energy legislation. I would categorize Jackie’s position as sympathetic and she left us with several action items for follow up. Here are my notes from the event:
Materials you would like to send to Pascrell in support of legislative positions should go to the Washington office:

They are reluctant to give out an email address. If anyone gets one please let me know.
(contributed 2/10/09) I have emailed with Stephanie about animals issues (she is a great animal lover I am told). This is the address she responded fromStephanie.krenrich@mail.house.gov
and Assad Akhter is the legislative director, also very helpful.
The Senate is trying to wrap up the package by Friday 2/13/09 at which point it will return to the House for one more round of additions/subtractions. WE NEED TO POUND THESE OFFICES NON-STOP UNTIL THEN INSISTING THEY INCLUDE PROGRAMS TO JUMP START CLEAN ENERGY AND MOVE US OFF FOSSIL FUEL.
