A letter from the President of Green Home: We need your support

URGENT ACTION REQUIRED.

The future of the home performance industry hangs in the balance. The time has come to let Washington, D.C. know that there are thousands of companies with tens of thousands of American workers ready to grow the Home Performance industry and help this country meet our economic challenges.


Our focus for today outreach is on the U.S. Senate. We need you to call the offices of both Senators from your state and urge them to support the HOME STAR proposal as part of the upcoming Jobs bill.

We know that everyone is busy, but it is essential that we take the time to speak up now and make a difference. Please follow the directions below and make sure your representatives in D.C. hear you loud and clear. Every voice counts and can make the difference.

What we need from you today:

3. CALL YOUR SENATORS: Start by downloading the HOME STAR Talking Points. Look up your Senators’ phone numbers on the Senate Web site. Take a moment to review the talking points to stay on message. When the attendant answers, tell them that you are a constituent and would like to discuss how the HOME STAR program is going to help you create jobs in their district. This will likely only take a few minutes per call (but if they want to discuss, talk about your business and happy clients in their home districts!).

4. SPREAD THE WORD: We need to show a ground swell of support. Call your friends, family, and co-workers. Forward this email, or send people a link to http://www.efficiencyfirst.org/home-star and ask them to voice their support.
