Demand the Clean Energy Future We Deserve

Sponsor: League of Conservation Voters
Offshore platforms littering the nation's coasts. Oil derricks pumping in the last refuges of Alaska. And even more record profits for Big Oil. It's a grim future if Big Oil has its way -- but we still have time to stop them and promote the clean energy future we deserve. In the last weeks before the election and into the next year, legislators will be considering measures that would open up millions of acres to more drilling -- even though Big Oil already has permission to drill on almost 70 million acres -- and even though Bush's own Department of Energy has admitted that more drilling will not lower gas prices! Drilling along our coastlines and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will not solve our country's energy problems or ease our dangerous addiction to oil. We cannot allow Congress to be fooled by the smooth talk of Big Oil -- take action today!

Don't Deny Insurance Coverage for Pre-Existing Conditions

Target: Presidential Candidates
Sponsored by: Families USA





Currently many health insurance companies operate in a wild wild west of little or no rules or regulation - unfettered to cherry pick the healthiest and to deny coverage to those who need it the most.

How do insurance companies do this? They look for "pre-existing conditions" - then they can legally deny someone coverage because they have an imperfect bill of health. Insurers might also charge these individuals much higher premiums for their coverage.

Health insurance shouldn't be reserved only for the healthiest among us.

Make sure John McCain and Barack Obama get this message, and tell them they must include everyone in their plans for quality, affordable health care!
