Tell ABC to air the Repower America ad this Friday on *20/20*.

Dear Paul,
Did you notice the ads after last night's presidential debate?
ABC had Chevron. CBS had Exxon. CNN had the coal lobby. But you know what happened last week? ABC refused to run our Repower America ad -- the ad that takes on this same oil and coal lobby.
I sent a letter asking ABC to reconsider their decision and put our ad on the air, but still we haven't heard back more than a week later. I think they need to hear from all of us. Can you help? Please send a messagehttp://www.wecansolveit.org/page/m/6faa2f86f8896f6a/OlTh2g/VEsC/to ABC and tell them to air the Repower America ad this Friday on *20/20*. Just click here:

We're working to get 100,000 public comments to ABC before *20/20*'s next airing.
Our Repower America ad has a clear and simple message -- that massive spending by oil and coal companies on advertising is a key reason our nation hasn't switched to clean and renewable sources for our energy.
Here's the script of the ad:
*The solution to our climate crisis seems simple. Repower America with wind and solar. End our dependence on foreign oil. A stronger economy. So why are we still stuck with dirty and expensive energy? Because big oil spends hundreds of millions of dollars to block clean energy. Lobbyists, ads, even scandals. All to increase their profits, while America suffers. Breaking big oil's lock on our government ... Now that's change. We're the American people and we approve this message.*
You can view the ad on the ABC petition page, herehttp://www.wecansolveit.org/page/m/6faa2f86f8896f6a/OlTh2g/VEsA/ .
As our country faces deep economic problems, we need to be able to have an honest debate about the root causes of our problems. As Al Gore has said, "We're borrowing money from China to buy oil from the Persian Gulf to burn it in ways that destroy the future of human civilization. And every bit of that has to change."
As oil and coal backed groups outspend even major party committees in this political year, it's outrageous that ABC would deny our ad. Let ABC know what you think. Just click herehttp://www.wecansolveit.org/page/m/6faa2f86f8896f6a/OlTh2g/VEsB/ .
