BACKGROUND

Energy Citizens is a nationwide alliance of organizations and individuals committed to bringing together people across America to remind Congress that energy is the backbone of our nation’s economy and way of life, and to give voice to their concerns about the impact that climate legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives would have on American jobs, families and businesses.

As part of this effort, local individuals and organizations will be participating in Energy Citizens “Rallies for Jobs and Affordable Energy” in 20 states during the congressional recess, beginning with a kick-off rally in Houston on August 18. The alliance will also encourage ordinary Americans to engage in ongoing online conversations about energy issues, including taxes and domestic resources, at a new website, www.EnergyCitizens.org.

The Energy Citizens events and Web site will provide forums for people from all walks of life – truckers, farmers, small business owners, energy industry workers, homemakers and seniors – to demonstrate that there is widespread dissatisfaction with the House climate bill, and to urge the U.S. Senate instead to support policies that promote jobs and affordable energy when it takes up climate legislation later this year.

Studies have shown that legislation approved by the House will cost 2 million American jobs, raise gasoline and diesel prices up to $4 per gallon, affect U.S. businesses’ ability to compete globally and reduce America’s energy security. These job losses and higher energy costs will ripple throughout the U.S. economy, pushing up the prices of many critical goods and services and hurting millions of Americans who work in or depend on trucking, farming, manufacturing, mining, small businesses and energy production.
