Contact Your Legislator

Every state that has banned geoengineering started with one citizen reaching out to one legislator. Florida went from filing to law in 7 months. Here's everything you need to do the same in your state.

Step 1: Find Your State Legislator

You need your state representative and senator (not federal). Enter your address to find them.

Send the letter to both your state House representative and your state Senator for maximum impact.

Step 2: Copy, Customize, and Send

Fill in the [BRACKETED] sections with your info. Everything else is ready to go. Takes about 2 minutes.

Dear [REPRESENTATIVE/SENATOR LAST NAME],

I'm writing to request that you introduce legislation in our state banning geoengineering and intentional weather modification — modeled after laws already signed in Tennessee (SB 2691, April 2024) and Florida (SB 56, 2025).

These laws prohibit the intentional injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere with the purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of sunlight. This isn't a fringe issue — over 22 states introduced similar bills in 2025, and at the federal level, H.R. 4403 (the Clear Skies Act) has been introduced to ban weather modification nationwide.

[STATE NAME] deserves the same protections that Tennessee and Florida already have. Our families, our children, and our communities deserve to know exactly what is happening in the skies above our homes. No amount of personal health-conscious decisions can address what's being dispersed into the air we all breathe.

We're not asking for anything extreme. We're asking for what multiple states have already passed into law. We believe this will be the direction every state moves toward, and we'd like [STATE NAME] to be among those leading the way.

For reference, a citizen-built transparency platform at skyledger.org aggregates real-time flight tracking, FAA aircraft ownership data, weather modification operator identification, and citizen reports into one open-source tool. The information is based entirely on public records and verifiable data — over 600 documented weather modification patents, congressional reports, and federal agency documents.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further. Thank you for your time and your service to our state.

Respectfully,
[YOUR NAME]
[YOUR CITY], [YOUR STATE]

Fill in [YOUR NAME], [STATE NAME], and [LEGISLATOR NAME] — the rest is ready.

How Florida Passed a Felony Ban in 7 Months

Florida's SB 56 made unauthorized geoengineering a third-degree felony— up to 5 years in prison and $100,000 fine. Here's the exact path they took.

Senate Rules Committee advances the bill

4

April 2, 2025

Gov. DeSantis posts video on X endorsing SB 56: "We don't want to indulge this nonsense in Florida, where we are proud of our sunshine"

5

April 3, 2025

Full Senate passes SB 56

6

April 2025

Full House passes 82-28 — strong bipartisan margin

8

July 1, 2025

Law takes effect — felony penalties active

The Strategy That Worked

These are the specific angles that got Florida's bill passed 82-28. Use them when talking to your legislator.

1

Frame it as a regulatory gap — not conspiracy

Sen. Garcia's key line: "There is a lot of unauthorized activity that is currently not regulated both at a federal and a state level, and this is where we wanted to start." This gave moderate legislators cover to vote yes.

2

Get the governor on board early

DeSantis publicly endorsed on social media BEFORE the vote. His framing: "The Free State of Florida means freedom from governments or private actors unilaterally applying chemicals or geoengineering to people or public spaces."

3

Reference other states

Garcia cited 32 other states with similar legislation. Tennessee being first made Florida's vote easier. Each state that passes makes the next one easier.

4

Citizen testimony creates urgency

The volume of public testimony from concerned citizens showed legislators their constituents cared. Multiple people referenced "The Dimming" documentary (25M+ views). Your observations matter.

5

Make it bipartisan

82-28 in the House. 28-9 in the Senate. Both Republicans and Democrats voted yes. This is a clean air issue, not a partisan issue.

6

Include enforcement teeth

Florida didn't just ban it — they created airport reporting requirements, a citizen complaint system through the DEP, and felony-level penalties. Laws without enforcement mechanisms get ignored.

Expect industry opposition — use it

Rainmaker's CEO personally testified against SB 56. Having the weather modification industry show up to fight the bill actually proved the point that this is real and worth regulating.

Quotes That Move Legislators

Use these in your letter or conversation. They come from elected officials who already voted yes.

“There is a lot of unauthorized activity that is currently not regulated both at a federal and a state level, and this is where we wanted to start.”

— Sen. Ileana Garcia (R-FL), SB 56 sponsor

“I have heard the conspiracy theories out there, but the fact is we should not be shutting down legitimate concerns. Healthy skepticism is important.”

— Senate President Ben Albritton (R-FL)

“The Free State of Florida means freedom from governments or private actors unilaterally applying chemicals or geoengineering to people or public spaces.”

— Gov. Ron DeSantis, upon signing SB 56

“Banning geoengineering is a movement every MAHA needs to support.”

— HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

600+ Scientists Agree: Ban It

The Solar Geoengineering Non-Use Agreement has been signed by over 600 academics and nearly 2,000 civil society organizations worldwide. They call for banning outdoor experiments, prohibiting patents, and stopping public funding for deployment. Published as a peer-reviewed paper in WIREs Climate Change.

When someone says “this is just a conspiracy theory,” point them here. 600 credentialed scientists from institutions worldwide say it's real enough to ban.
