Sample Email for an INDIVIDUAL:
"Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the recent EJAC
community workshops. I live in Stockton, California.  I live and
work in a community where people work hard to support their
families and provide education for their children. 
 
It is increasingly difficult to keep up with the rising costs of
fuel and utilities, much of which are related to existing
environmental and climate change laws that are much stricter than
those in other states.
 
 Not only have I made this community my home, but I pay taxes that
help support the needs of this community. EJAC was created to be a
voice for vulnerable communities like my region and make
recommendations to the AB32 scoping plan.  I support reasonable
regulations to improve our air quality, but strongly believe these
regulations must be cost-effective and provide measurable
environmental improvements that demonstrably justify the cost.
 
California already has the cleanest energy and the lowest emitting
industrial facilities in the country.  And small businesses and
low-income families already spend a higher than average percentage
of their budgets on utilities and energy.
 
Small businesses like the ones in my community are a critically
important source of upward mobility and job creation in low-income
regions. Before EJAC advocates for more costly regulations that
could close the doors of many small businesses and make it harder
for me to afford the things I need, please consider the costs, and
promote only those that are affordable and will deliver truly
meaningful air quality benefits for our communities.
 
Thank you.
