An Activism Request

I have a request from Denise Lerner a friend on Facebook who is a strong advocate for Renewable Energy. Her request is reproduced in full below:

Mehul,

I posted the residential solar proposition on the presidents transition team book (see link) . Title is The Solar Solution, under Energy and the Environment. If enough people vote on it, this becomes part of the Presidents to-do list. Can you help me blog this?

Please vote on this and help make it a priority as far as the coming administration is concerned. This is, after all, a small way that everyone would be able to help put renewable energy on the center-stage without spending anything mroe than a few seconds of their time. Thanks in advance.

Also, please sign up for the Residential Solar Freedom Act as proposed by Denise's friend Tom Mc Candless: http://www.residentialsolarfreedomact.com/index.php The Southern States of the USA get enormous amounts of solar energy and some support from the government would help make this an everyday reality. In tough economic times of the kind that we live in, these businesses need all the support that they can get. Hopefully, they would also look at the rest of the world as a market to sell solar equipment and bring costs down - something that I am prone to talking about over and over like a scratched record, ha, ha!

Thanks in advance for voting on Denise's initiative and please pass this information on to as many of your friends as you can and request them to vote and pass it on further. Your help is sincerely appreciated.
