=v= California AB 1058 is being voted on soon, perhaps TODAY.
This is a bill that takes the next step in car emissions
standards, the details of which you can find here:

=v= The folks at PIRG and the Union of Concerned Scientists have
set up a website that makes it real easy to send an email or fax
message to your California assemblyperson, in support of AB 1058:

                         ... AND/OR ...

=v= As part of a well-financed campaign to defeat AB 1058, the
auto industry has set up an 800 number for people to call the
governor or their assemblyperson to oppose the bill.  You can
use this number to *support* it.  Details below.  (I used the
system above to contact my assemblyperson and the 800 number to
contact the Governor.)

Here's a great opportunity to speak up for the environment
on Detroit's dime:  the California legislature is very close
to passing AB 1058, the first-in-the-nation law to regulate
greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles.

As part of their multi-million dollar campaign to kill the bill,
the auto lobby has set up an 800 # for calls to the state
Assembly.

We encourage you to use the number, but to call in SUPPORT of AB
1058.  Please note -- the automated system at the phone number
will encourage you to oppose AB 1058.  Instead, we support it.
Make your call now at:

  800/988-2588

If your Assembly member is on the list below, ask to speak with
him or her.  If not, ask to speak with Governor Gray Davis.
When connected, please make sure the office knows you are a
constituent, then say:

  "Please SUPPORT AB 1058, to regulate greenhouse gas
  emissions from motor vehicles."

Here's the list of Assembly members to call:

  Calderon
  Canciamilla
  Cedillo
  Chavez
  Diaz

If your Assembly member is not on this list, ask for Governor Davis.

Please call right away -- the Assembly is likely to vote on
Thursday, May 9th, but could vote as soon as Wednesday.
