Repower America Launches New Campaign With Missouri Voices

Via Show Me Progress, the Alliance for Climate Protection and the Climate Protection Action Fund have a cool new ad campaign featuring video messages submitted by Missourians calling for meaningful clean energy and green jobs legislation.   Here's one of several ads:

SMP writer WillK on the campaign:

The outstanding question is how effective the Repower America campaign will be in the face of what will, no doubt, be a massive corporate onslaught against any meaningful energy legislation. In a conference call today, Garrett Russo from the Alliance on Climate Protection attempted to address this issue, describing the Wall and the ads as a way to level the playing field, and enable "everyday" Americans to speak out and be heard in an environment which, especially after the recent Supreme court decision on corporate political spending, now privileges big money over individual citizens.

During the call, two Wall contributors from each of the four targeted states spoke briefly about why reforming our energy policies is important to them. Reasons included sustainability arguments, quality of life concerns - clean air makes for a healthy humans - and worries about the effects of fossil fuel dependency on national security. The predominant theme, though, was job creation, as seen in this ad from the group of three that will be shown in Missouri.
