As early as tomorrow, your Senators could vote to block the Clean Air Act’s protections against carbon pollution, carving out a loophole that hands the biggest polluters a clear path to spew dangerous emissions into our air and water.
And, unfortunately, it comes as no surprise that this so-called “Dirty Air Act” was literally written by fossil fuel industry lobbyists.1
We have less than 24 hours before the vote could happen — please help flood your Senators with urgent calls demanding that they vote “NO” on this attack on the Clean Air Act.
Senator Cantwell: (202) 224-3441
Senator Murray: (202) 224-2621
Let them know you’re a constituent and say:
“I urge Senator _____ to oppose any efforts to weaken the Clean Air Act’s ability to limit dangerous carbon pollution. Instead of taking our country a step backwards, I hope you will work to pass comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation this year.”
This vote pits the profits of a few companies against the health and welfare of the American public.
The same lobbyist who was invited to help draft the amendment — former Bush administration official Jeffrey Holmstead — represents some of the worst of the worst, including the top three coal-fired sources of global warming pollution in the entire country. What’s more, his clients donated over $50,000 in campaign contributions to the Senator who introduced the proposal.2
This kind of pay-to-play politics must be rejected, and forcefully. Call today and tell your Senators: Don’t mess with the Clean Air Act.
Thanks,
Dave Boundy
