SPECTER takes a stand re the ENERGY/CLIMATE BILL

[polichick]

From a REPOWER PA email (Gore's REPOWER AMERICA):

The old ways of Washington have gotten us into enough trouble. That's why it's so refreshing when an elected leader takes a real stand against them.

Opponents in the Senate are already planning to play politics with clean energy, using procedural games to prevent a majority of Senators from passing clean energy and climate legislation.

But Senator Arlen Specter has called for an end to these petty tactics by announcing his support for cloture -- a motion that, if it passes, will require a full vote in the Senate as quickly as possible. Specter recently reaffirmed his support for strong clean energy legislation. This announcement shows that he is ready to go.

Looks like he's working on his Democratic muscle!

1. YAY!

Because the next Battle (after health care reform) will be over energy.

I hope there's more cohesion among dem leaders and progressive on this one.
