On June 6, the Climate Security Act fell short of the votes needed to keep it alive in the U.S. Senate, pushing debate on climate action to next year for a new Congress and president. The Climate Security Act was poised to make great strides in addressing the threat of global warming and helping to protect wildlife and America's natural resources.

Please find out how your senators voted below and call to thank them (if they voted Yes) or hold them accountable (if they voted No).

1. Dial the Capitol Switchboard, 202-224-3121, and ask to be connected to your first senator's office.
2. Once connected, introduce yourself: "My name is _______ _________, and I live in ______, ________."
3. Leave a message about how you feel about your senators' vote on the Climate Security Act (S. 3036).
4. If you have one, add a personal story about why global warming is a concern to you. For example, "I'm an avid duck hunter and am worried about the declines I'm seeing in ducks flying south."
5. Thank the person for taking your call.
