A group of FSU students traveled to Pensacola Wednesday to petition a U.S. senator for jobs in a clean energy economy.

The group brought their resumes and cover letters to Senator George LeMieux's office, because they want him to know that there are students who are willing and able to work in the green jobs task force.

They're hoping that other students will catch on to their movement, petition their senators and possibly reverse the trend of unemployment among college graduates.

"Students dropping off cover letters and resumes, dropping off petitions is nothing new, but if it's out in the media if people are seeing what were doing, maybe people will actually think, hey there's actually a big movement going on, we need our senators to do something, and we're hoping that not juyst us students, but everybody else starts pushing, explains Alex Saunders, campus coordinator for Repower America.

The students handed over more than 300 resumes and cover letters.
