Hi Don, Here's my letter, fax and email. I vote "green" all the time.

RE: Solar Tax Credit SB17x2 SUPPORT

Dear Governor Davis:

Thank you very much for signing into law the Solar and Wind Energy
System Tax
Credit (SB17x2) on October 9, 2001. Please do not suspend this important
incentive when it is just starting to encourage people to buy solar and
wind
power systems.

Suspending the tax credit will not bring in more taxes. In fact,
suspending the
tax credit will have a negative effect because people will not buy solar
and
wind energy systems and California renewable energy businesses will
suffer
which will result in less tax collections.

Spectrum Solar, Inc. was started this year to produce solar modules in
Los
Angeles. We plan to hire over 65 unemployed and under-employed inner
city
workers. If given the opportunity, these people will work and will pay
more
state taxes.

Please do not suspend the solar tax credit. Instead, tell voters that
you
support the use of solar power. Tell voters your commitment for more
renewable
energy and more jobs in California. Tell voters to buy California-made
solar
and wind power systems because it is good for the environment and good
for the
State’s economy.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Joel Davidson
President & CEO
Spectrum Solar, Inc.
