Urge your local car dealers to withdraw from the lawsuit to block the clean cars law

The California Clean Cars law requires automakers

to reduce global warming pollution from cars and

light trucks, but major automakers and several

California car dealers have filed a lawsuit to block

implementation of this critical legislation. Urge

the car dealers in your area to drop out of the lawsuit against

California's clean cars law.

Dear [ Decision Maker ],

(Edit Letter Below)

As a Central Valley neighbor and potential customer, I'm writing to urge you to help strengthen the economic and environmental well-being of our community. One of the most important and cost-free things you can do immediately is to follow the lead of Merle Stone Chevrolet and drop out of the automakers' lawsuit to overturn California's law to reduce global warming emissions from cars and trucks.

The clean cars law was passed to protect all Californians -- and we here in the Central Valley have a lot at stake. Global warming could devastate the Central Valley by increasing the number and intensity of heat waves, increasing air pollution and shrinking our water supply, creating untold economic hardship for all of us.

California's law that requires automakers to deliver clean cars and trucks makes economic sense for you and your customers. The law that you and the automakers are fighting would actually provide more consumer choice, which can only be good for your business. But more importantly, as a prominent business leader and member of our community whose product happens to represent the most polluting sector of our state, you can be a leader by taking responsibility to do your fair share in helping reduce global warming emissions.

Again, I urge you to drop out of this harmful lawsuit, and join me in asking automakers to start producing cleaner vehicles.

Sincerely,
