About this Petition Petition Letter

It is clear that we must act quickly to reduce global warming pollution.  Working together, Congress and the Obama Administration can take bold action that will move us toward a clean energy economy and create new jobs, make America more secure, and protect our environment. An amendment currently under debate in the Senate would undermine the Clean Air Act by preventing the EPA from taking steps to reduce global warming pollution. The amendment lets the oil and coal industries and other big polluters off the hook for their carbon dioxide emissions, undermining the Clean Air Act's protections of public health and the environment. These sources are responsible for the lion's share of U.S. global warming pollution.  Exempting the biggest sources of pollution from the Clean Air Act will delay our nation's transition to solar, wind, and other sources of clean energy  sources that won't run out, will only grow cheaper over time, don't harm our environment or public health, and will create millions of clean energy jobs.

Urge your elected officials to oppose the Murkowski Clean Air Act Rollback amendment to the Interior Appropriations bill--or any amendment that would weaken the Clean Air Act and prevent us from taking action on climate change

Oppose Any Efforts to Weaken the Clean Air Act

Dear Representative

I am writing to urge you to oppose any efforts to weaken the Clean Air Act by blocking the EPA from taking action on climate change.

It is clear that we must act quickly to reduce global warming pollution. Working together, Congress and the Obama Administration can take bold action that will move us toward a clean energy economy and create new jobs, make America more secure, and protect our environment. An amendment currently under debate in the Senate would undermine the Clean Air Act by preventing the EPA from taking steps to reduce global warming pollution. The amendment lets the oil and coal industries and other big polluters off the hook for their carbon dioxide emissions, undermining the Clean Air Act's protections of public health and the environment. These sources are responsible for the lion's share of U.S. global warming pollution. Exempting the biggest sources of pollution from the Clean Air Act will delay our nation's transition to solar, wind, and other sources of clean energy sources that won't run out, will only grow cheaper over time, don't harm our environment or public health, and will create millions of clean energy jobs.

I strongly urge you to oppose the Murkowski Clean Air Act Rollback amendment to the Interior Appropriations bill--or any amendment that would weaken the Clean Air Act and prevent us from taking action on climate change.

Yours sincerely,

[Your name]
