Their sample message reads:
Quote:
In George W. Bush's first 100 days in office, he refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol and put forth a policy favoring increased exploration for fossil fuels and rapid construction of new power plants, rather than exploring conservation and sustainable power generation. Actions like these, put out so early in his administration, set the tone for eight environmentally destructive years.
As you may be the next President, I am writing to ask you to differentiate yourself from Bush's policies of the past, and accomplish the following during your first 100 days in office:
1. Introduce legislation to cap global warming pollution.
2. Commit to creating new incentives to unleash energy innovation and build the green jobs sector.
3. Invest in public transportation alternatives to help Americans drive less.
4. Support alliances of industry, environmentalists, and landowners to protect endangered wildlife.
5. Take on the overfishing crisis through new economic incentives for fisherfolk.
By accomplishing these 5 tasks, you will be setting the stage for an environmentally protective administration, and taking the first steps toward undoing the damage the past 8 years have caused. I urge you to implement this To-Do List within your first 100 days in office.

I slightly modified it to read:
Quote:
The need for increasing domestic oil exploration and production is obvious.
As you may be the next President, I am writing to ask you to do everything in your power to take advantage of the available oil resources that we have, including expanding offshore drilling and opening up areas such as ANWR to oil drilling.
Not only will this reduce our future dependence on foreign oil, but it will keep the profits for our oil consumption within the US economy.

I wonder if I'll still get my free umbrella?
