We are business leaders from companies of all sizes and many sectors calling for your leadership to ensure America's prosperous, competitive future.

We need you to swiftly enact comprehensive legislation to cut carbon pollution and create an economy-wide cap and trade program.

We support this legislation because certainty and rules of the road enable us to plan, build, innovate and expand our businesses. Putting a price on carbon will drive investment into cost-saving, energy-saving technologies, and will create the next wave of jobs in the new energy economy.

Climate and energy legislation that caps carbon and supports clean energy will keep inventions here, keep innovative companies here, and keep the newly-created jobs in engineering, manufacturing and installation here in the US.

For the United States to compete and lead, you must act. It is time for the Administration and Congress to embrace this economic opportunity so that our workers and entrepreneurs can lead the way.
