IMPORTANT NOTE:
THIS PETITION ALLOWS YOU TO LET YOUR REPRESENTATIVES KNOW YOU
WANT THEM TO ACT TO SUSPEND AB 32. IF THE LEGISLATURE AND
GOVERNOR FAIL TO ACT, WE WILL BEGIN COLLECTING SIGNATURES ON A
SEPARATE PETITION TO PLACE AN AB 32 SUSPENSION ON THE BALLOT SO
CITIZENS CAN VOTE ON OUR PROPOSAL.
THIS PETITION WILL
CLOSE ON DECEMBER 18th
A majority vote of the
Legislature and the signature of the Governor would suspend AB
32. With California already facing a severe recession, AB
32 stands to make things much worse if fully implemented.
Please sign the petition online using the form below.
Please also print petitions
for your friends, family and co-workers to sign. This

Official Petition
to Suspend AB 32
Submitted to the
California State Legislature
AB 32, the “Global
Warming Solutions Act of 2006” must immediately
be suspended because:
- AB 32 will cost our
state up to 1.1 million jobs, cost the
average family $3,857 annually, add nearly
$50,000 a year to the average small
business’s costs and will result in a total
loss of output of $183 billion.
- California’s
unemployment rate has now reached 12.1%, one
of the highest in the nation. With jobs
leaving the state, AB 32 is yet another
burdensome regulation that will cause more
businesses to relocate.
- Scientists agree
that because California contributes less
than 2% of the world’s greenhouse gas
emissions, AB 32 will do NOTHING to stop
global warming, even if it is caused by
human activity.
- The loss of tax
revenue that will result from AB 32 will
devastate the budgets of California agencies
including those responsible for providing
health care to those in need and protecting
the environment.
- AB 32 will put
government in control of what have
traditionally been individual choices. We
don’t want the government telling us what we
drive or where we live.
Therefore, I hereby
exercise my Constitutional right to petition my
representatives.
