Initiative for resolutions by local governments
in support of a federal carbon tax-and-refund
Shape the national debate.
Mission: 1) Advocacy by concerned citizens as agents for change, working part time and short term with their city, town or county government to pass a resolution, communicating the advantages of the tax-and-refund by prompting media coverage, with the local government sending copies of the resolution to federal lawmakers, and with publication here. 2) Following this feasible method, as the number of resolutions that are passed grows the increasing magnitude of the news will inspire the introduction of more resolutions, building momentum for a mandate. 3) No monetary donation is required, only very limited time.
