U.S. readers can use this link...
http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml
...to contact their representative and senators regarding the Waxman-Markey bill.
The link makes it very easy to send an email or make a phone call.
Use the US Representatives link after clicking on the link above since this vote will occur in the House of Representatives.
A one or two sentence email, or a one minute call is all that is necessary. Just mention that you're a constituent of the Representative or Senator, that it's a bad bill, and ask him/her to please vote against it.
Elected folks keep score. They have their staffs keep a tally of pro and con calls, letters and emails. If they hear from enough people, it can make a difference.
Call your congressmen we lost the first vote! 219-212
