    Tonight, in his very first speech from the Oval Office, President Obama

    addressed the nation on the BP oil spill and the crisis in the Gulf Coast.

    Millions of Americans heard him lay out the path forward: Tens of thousands will
    continue to work around the clock to stop the oil spill and prevent further
    damage. The Obama administration will ensure that BP is held accountable,
    covering the costs of the clean-up and paying its debts to the people whose
    lives have been upended by the disaster.

    The Gulf Coast will be repaired and restored for the people who call it home and
    whose livelihoods depend on it.

    But, as the President said tonight, this is just the beginning -- we need to
    ensure that a disaster like this never happens again.

    The President presented a vision of a future where we as a nation are not held
    hostage by our dependence on fossil fuels -- and a plan for an economy that
    invests in energy generated right here and creates jobs for millions of
    Americans in the process. Under his leadership, some of this is beginning to
    take shape -- clean energy is starting to put people back to work across the
    country, building more efficient cars and trucks, repurposing old factories to
    manufacture wind turbines, and investing in research that will discover new
    energy technologies.

    Critics will say that a real transition to clean energy is a challenge that can't be
    met. But the President made it clear tonight that he will not back down -- even if
    the path forward is not easy. And, as this movement has shown time and again,
    neither will we.

    You are one of hundreds of thousands who have already stood with President
    Obama for a clean-energy future. Washington has put this off for far too long --
    America must act. We need your help today to show strong support for the
    President's vision for a clean-energy future. Please pass on this email to five
