For everyone in the entire county (NOT just Bengal Township) who is concerned about the impending industrial wind turbines proposed for Bengal, Essex and Dallas Townships:
Funding for wind energy projects grandfathers under our federal budget on December 31st. As most of you are aware, Congress is at this present moment hammering out a budget for 2013. Another way to halt this project is to stop the flow of federal dollars.
Our U.S. Representative, Dave Camp, is also chairperson of the House Ways and Means Committee. He does take a count of letters, calls, etc. regarding each issue.
PLEASE CONTACT HIM IMMEDIATELY to request stopping federal funding for wind energy projects anywhere.
(Below you will find a letter you can use as a prototype.)
If you need to write to Representative Camp, his address is on that letter. If you need to call him, his Midland office's phone number is 1-800-342-2455. If you can email, go to https://camp.house.gov/contact/contactform.htm.
If each one of us gets just 10 other people to send an email, this will put a lot of pressure on Rep. Camp. He pulled his advertisement supporting wind farms after a company which supports him wrote him. The ad was pulled the next day!
Should you have any questions, please email Elizabeth Ayoub: elizaylaw@hotmail.com
Working with all of you at the township, county, and federal level---

Dear Representative Camp:
I write to you in your position as Chairperson of the House Ways and Means Committee. As are a majority of U.S. citizens, I am concerned about our debt and the projects being funded by the U.S. Government.
I request that the federal government NOT fund any wind energy projects anywhere. I urge your committee to make sensible fiscal cuts. Wind energy is not as efficient as other sources of energy.
They are only 30% efficient. In order to survive, these projects must be highly subsidized.
In view of the fact that our nation has an abundance of natural gas, it does not make sense for our nation to fund inefficient sources of energy such as wind or solar.
Thank you for listening to this constituent,
