At the Center for American Progress Action Fund, we’ve been fighting to move America from dependence on foreign oil towards clean and renewable domestic alternatives. We’ve made our voices heard through the Kick the Oil Habit campaign and our innovative cross-country Road Trip. Now it’s time to show our support for legislation that will establish permanent change and set a new course for the entire nation.

This November, in California, voters have an opportunity to fight Big Oil and choose a path to cleaner alternative energy by voting Yes on Proposition 87, California’s Clean Energy Initiative. Prop 87 will reduce California’s dependence on gasoline and diesel by 25% in the next ten years. These reforms will be funded by collecting drilling fees from companies that drill for oil in California, similar to drilling fees already collected in states like Alaska, Texas, and Louisiana. Big Oil should not be getting a free ride in the number three oil producing state in the nation. They should pay their fair share to support alternative fuel technologies that will benefit all Americans.

To make Prop 87 a reality, Californians need your help. Big Oil is swamping the state in a smear campaign because they do not want to pay their fair share for access to our natural resources. Voters in California need to hear the truth. Sign our petition in support of Prop 87 to send a message to Big Oil to drop their smear tactics and pay their fair share towards a better energy future.
