This page is still under construction, but will have the various email and mailing addresses that we need to write to. Please add your information here for others to share.
The following are the individuals and agencies that need to hear from each of us asap. Keep your letters succinct and try to include how this powerline personally impacts you. Some of the contacts have specific points to emphasize, although we encourage you to first speak from your heart.

County Supervisor Dianne Jacob Email: dianne.jacob@ sdcounty.ca.gov - Jacob is already a supporter for San Diego. Please email her so she knows that we are active and vocal.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger Email - Please tell Schwarzenegger that the budget does not include additional funding to fight the predictable increase in catastophic fires that the EIR states will occur with approval of this line. Please ask him to read the EIR, and alert him to the fact that this line will not even carry renewable energy (that SDG&E refused to agree to any renewable mandate). Please remind him that SDG&E was fined for misleading the CPUC, and that we now believe they are misleading him at the cost to California in the form of renewable firestorms, and that we encourage him to take the time to read the EIR.
Congressman Duncan Hunter Email - Duncan Hunter’s family lost their home in the Cedar Fire and he is concerned that the Powerline will significantly increase firestorms. Remind him that the Powerlink will also increase our dependence on foreign imports of liquid natural gas (LPN) as Sempra has signed contracts to bring in imports from Russia and Indonesia to their newly built Baja plants. Ask him to support re-opening the EIR and EIS for the Southern route. Please remind him that SDG&E was fined for misleading the CPUC, and that we now believe they are misleading San Diego.
