When Oregon’s 2009 legislative session starts in January, it’s going to be one long party – with environmental activists pressuring our elected officials to deliver concrete solutions to global warming and our energy policies in this state. But we can’t do it alone. For real progress to be made, we need students, major environmental groups, labor organizations, and businesses working together to create a better future for us all. That’s why I need YOU to invite a major player in Oregon’s economy to join the party, and help this state move toward a clean energy future.
The biggest private employer in Oregon is computer chip manufacturer intel Corporation – and Intel has gone to great lengths to present itself as sustainable and a “good corporate citizen.” But at the same time, Intel is a member of Industrial Customers of Northwest Utilities (ICNU) – a highly anti-environmental business association that lobbies against laws which seek to control greenhouse emissions.
Right now you can encourage Intel to live up to its green image and break away from ICNU – by sending the company an e-invite to the clean energy “party” that starts January 12.
Find out how to help below the fold…
Here’s what to do:
1) Go to http://event.pingg.com/PartyForCleanEnerg
2) You’ll have to register by entering your name and email. Then you’ll be able to see a “Share Invitation” box on the right side of the page.
3) The invitations need to go to Jonathan Williams, lobbyist and public affairs manager for Intel Oregon; so enter “Jonathan Williams” and the email address jonathan.p.williams@intel.com into the appropriate spaces under “Share Invitation.”
4) Hit the “Invite” button to send your invitation to Intel.
5) IMPORTANT: Finally, let me and others working on the Intel campaign know your invitation has been sent. Just reply to this blog post, preferably with your name and school, so I can keep track of who has contacted Intel.
It’s that simple! Please take a moment to show Intel how many people care about passing clean energy legislation in Oregon in 2009. It’s especially awesome if you’re from Oregon, but folks from other areas can invite Intel to the party, too. After all, Intel products are sold everywhere!

UPDATE: The link to send Intel an “invitation” has mysteriously stopped working. I’m seeing what I can do to fix it, but am beginning to suspect Intel of playing dirty. Stay tuned for more….
UPDATE: OK – I fixed the site. The Intel Invitation link is up and running again!
Another sent from Lewis & Clark!
Check! Got it. Thanks, Nick!

Intel has purchased 100% clean, renewable energy equal to its electric consumption.
You might want to keep that in mind and mention it in your e-mails.
