[GreenYes] Fwd: Legislative Support Letters to Governor Needed now - AB48, AB548, SB1021

["Gary Liss" <gary@no.address>]

Apologies for Cross-Postings

Please take 5 minutes to send a letter to Governor
Schwarzenegger in support of multifamily recycling legislation. If you've
already sent your letters, thank you. We particularly need letters of
support for AB 548.

Sample

individual and

organizational letters for

AB 548 (the CAW-sponsored multifamily recycling bill) are on our
website.

Individual and

organizational letters are also posted for

SB 1021, which would help offset some of the costs of providing
bottle and can recycling at multifamily dwellings. 
Please fax these letters to the Governor (and send us a copy), or e-mail
them to us and we will hand-deliver the letters. 

Thanks for your help,

Mark Murray
Executive Director
