Attend An Iowa Activist Evening next Monday night, Feb. 23rd. A group of informed members from a number of organizations will be gathering to discuss topics including the Marshalltown coal plant, federal energy legislation and passenger rail service from Chicago to Des Moines. Then we will be taking action to make sure our leaders know we want clean, renewable energy, better transportation options and policies that reduce harmful global warming pollution. Finally, there will be a screening of the film Fighting Goliath, a short film about the fight over coal power in Texas. Food and film snacks will be provided.
Seating is limited, so in order to reserve your spot we are asking you RSVP either by responding to this email or calling our offices at: (515) 244-3113. We hope you can come.
There is also another opportunity for you to get involved. Right now, the state legislature is beginning debate on energy efficiency measures - the easiest way to reduce greenhouse gases while saving money and creating jobs. They need to hear your voice!

Rail Wins in US Senate
Iowa Global Warming Campaign shared some good news.
The U.S. Senate last night voted 74-24 in favor of the Amtrak reauthorization last night.
The bill -- which passed both houses by veto-proof majorities -- now moves to the President for his signature.
The bill authorizes a number of programs over five years to build passenger rail service in the Midwest and Nationwide:
$5.9 billion for capital grants to Amtrak;
$2.9 billion for operating support to Amtrak;
$1.9 billion in grants to states to invest in passenger rail projects.
The bill also contains new safety requirements for freight and passenger railroads which could greatly assist in our efforts to develop high-speed rail in the Midwest.
