Tell Terry McAuliffe: Turn Dirty Money Into Good Deeds 6DEZ13

terry mcauliffe D gov elect VA is a corporate Democrat, not of or for the people, he is for whoever can provide the greatest financial benefit for him and his cronies. The very same dirty energy companies that supported cuccinelli are donating tens of thousands of dollars to mcauliffe's inauguration committee to guarantee there is room for them at the corporate welfare trough. Please sign this petition to gov elect mcauliffe telling him to use this money for solar panels on the roof of the governor's mansion in Richmond and to commit to moving Virginia to clean and renewable energy.

Governor-elect Terry McAuliffe's inauguration committee has received donations from some of the most polluting companies in the commonwealth of Virginia, including $25,000 from Alpha Natural Resources and $50,000 from Dominion Resources.
By using the donations from these companies to put solar panels on the roof of the Virginia governor's mansion, McAuliffe can show a direct and tangible commitment to a clean-energy future while lowering the carbon footprint and operating costs of Virginia's government buildings.
That's why I started my own campaign on CREDOMobilize.com, which allows activists to start their own petitions. My petition, which is to Governor-elect Terry McAuliffe, says the following:
Governor-elect McAuliffe should use funds donated to his inauguration fund by polluting firms and put them to use in creating a brighter clean-energy future for all Virginians by putting solar panels on the Virginia governor's mansion.
Sign the petition: Tell Governor-elect McAuliffe to spend dirty energy money on solar panels for the Governor's mansion.
Alpha Natural Resources and Dominion Resources donated heavily to the campaign of climate science-denier Ken Cuccinelli, seeking to foster a climate hostile to 21st-century clean-energy solutions.
Having campaigned alongside climate scientist Michael Mann and committed himself to a clean-energy future, McAuliffe should not appear to be selling access to Virginia's biggest polluters.
Governor-elect McAuliffe has expressed skepticism about solar power's potential in Virginia in the past, saying it is "much more difficult for solar here, obviously, because we don’t have the sun." But my home in northern Virginia, which gets 80% of its electricity from rooftop solar panels, shows otherwise.
Will you join me and add your name to my petition to Governor-elect McAuliffe urging him to spend contributions from dirty-energy firms to put solar panels on the Virginia governor's mansion?
Thank you for your support.
