Solar industry to campaign in Canning by election

The Australian solar industry is fighting for it's life under Team Abbott and his war on the sun. I guess they have little choice but to enter the political fray in that fight. They're pulling out all the stops in Canning. 

You can donate to their campaign here if you want. 

Canning has shaped up as a test of the Abbott gov's policies and Abbott's prime ministership. 

This from the email:

We know direct conversations with voters make the biggest impact and politicians tend to listen very closely when their own jobs are at stake. That’s why over the next 19 days we'll be pulling out all stops, hitting the footpaths and the phones, to talk to as many solar owners as possible about the power of their vote. 

But campaigns that get results cost money - we'll need to make thousands of phone calls to constituents, print just as many campaign signs for solar owners to display in their yards, along with covering volunteer costs and extra staff time. We're ready to give it our all, but we need your backing. Can you chip in to help us make it happen? Rest assured - one thing we absolutely won't be doing is telling people who to vote for. What we will be doing is giving people the facts so they can decide for themselves how best to make their vote count for solar. 

There’s no doubt about it. Australians are way ahead of our politicians when it comes to solar and renewables. Solar Citizens across the country have worked relentlessly to get the Labor Opposition to back at least 50% renewable energy by 2030, a fair go for solar owners and support for people who want to make the move and take control of soaring power bills. The next step is to get the Coalition on board. 

A mighty solar campaign in Canning is our opportunity to demonstrate to every single Australian politician that the solar vote matters, so we can end the attacks on solar and renewables once and for all. Let’s make those 70,000 solar votes count. contribute here
