BOYCOTT COMPANIES THAT SUPPORT CAP-AND-TRADE
American families and businesses are being economically threatened by cap-and-trade schemes. If cap-and-trade is approved, Americans can expect to pay thousands of dollars every year in “carbon taxes”. Millions of American jobs will be lost as companies seek more business-friendly locations elsewhere in the world. All this for what proponents acknowledge will at best result in 1/10 of 1 degree temperature change in 100 years!
But these facts don’t seem to matter to those corporations that have joined forces with the green lobby in supporting cap-and-trade. Some corporations stand to make millions as the result of cap-and-trade. Others have simply caved in to the political pressure from the green lobby. Regardless of their reasons, all of these companies are undermining American citizens by supporting cap-and-trade.
The Center for American Progress published a list of 100 organizations that support cap-and-trade. Hopenhagen, a website supporting the Copenhagen Climate Treaty, lists 92 organizations as “friends” of their effort. The U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP) is a group of 30 large corporations and Park Avenue environmental groups that have joined forces to lobby for the Waxman-Markey cap-and-tax bill.
Why would you choose to support these corporations with your wallet when they are advocating for policies that will be disastrous for most American families?
Here is a list of 19 companies that we believe would be most susceptible to a consumer boycott campaign. They have decided to support cap-and-trade, now you need to decide whether you are going to support them.
Organizations can be removed from the boycott list by taking the following two actions: 1) withdrawing their names as a supporter of cap-and-trade from the appropriate list above; and 2) issuing a press release stating that their organization will not take a specific position on cap-and-trade and the Copenhagen climate treaty.

TAKE ACTION!
Use our Message Form to send an email to the executives of these companies, notifying them you plan to participate in the boycott their products and services until they have withdrawn support for cap-and-trade. Tell them you are going to spread the word to friends and neighbors and encourage them to join the boycott.
Call each of these executives and deliver the same message, even if you have sent an email. Phone calls are one of the most effective ways to get an executive’s attention.
