MoveOn.org wants clean energy supporters to show up at 2:00pm on Friday, April 17th at Artur Davis’ Downtown Birmingham office to help deliver letters from small businesses about the importance of passing Obama’s clean energy jobs plan.

From their site:

Big corporations like Exxon Mobil and BP are making headlines opposing President Obama’s plan for a clean energy economy.1

But the behind-the-scenes truth is this: Millions of small businesses in every neighborhood support clean energy. They just haven’t had a way to be heard in Washington—until now.

On Friday, we’ll be delivering more than 15,000 letters of support for clean energy from small-business leaders to our members of Congress.

MoveOn volunteers have been pounding the pavement for weeks to collect these letters. Small businesses are such great messengers to tell Congress that clean energy will grow our economy, create more jobs, and lower electric bills.

These are simple, fun events. We’ll gather outside of the local congressional office where we’re delivering the letters, listen to a few remarks from local small-business leaders, and then go inside to deliver these letters. Having a good crowd is important to show our strength.

Good local jobs mean more money flowing into local businesses. And since those jobs can’t be shipped overseas, we can count on a thriving economy for a long time to come. We can’t afford not to invest in clean energy.

Can you join us on Friday, Apr. 17, 2009, at 2:00 PM in Birmingham to deliver letters from small businesses in support of Obama’s clean energy jobs plan?
