In 2009 President Obama invoked the words of Franklin Delanor Roosevelt when he told the American people to “make him” change health care policy. He reminded us that Democratic change requires more than the election of one person to pass law in this country. If we really want to change the way American’s consume oil and energy, then its time to speak out and ask the most visible house in the United States to go solar. We are the second largest consumers of energy in the world. (China just became the world’s largest consumer of energy–thanks to our buying desires.)
Sign this petition to put solar on the White House. Solar on the White House is a collective of businesses and organizations petitioning President Obama to put solar panels back on the white house roof. Jimmy Carter first put solar panels on the White House roof in 1979 after the energy crisis of the early 70s. Ronald Reagan promptly removed them for “repairs” a few years later. If we leave it up to Washington, the lobbyists from the Coal and Oil companies will maintain the status quo with their money and political maneuvering.
Please, speak out today and invoke your Democratic right to demand a viable energy alternative.
