IOWANS GATHER SIGNATURES IN SUPPORT OF NEW EPA CLIMATE RULES LIMITING CARBON POLLUTION
(Des Moines) - This Sunday Iowans will gather in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Davenport to go door-to-door collecting signatures in support of the newly announced proposal to limit carbon pollution from power plants, a major driver of climate change.

"As a parent of two young children, I believe it is my responsibility to ensure my kids are left with a sustainable climate, clean air to breath and an innovative, 21st century economy to start a career," said Des Moines parent William Rock, who will be knocking doors in Des Moines on Sunday.  "I refuse to stand on the sidelines during this important debate on climate change, which is why I'm going door-to-door to urge Iowans to support the new rules to limit carbon pollution."

The canvasses are open to the media and individual canvassers will be available to interview.
