Call today: Tell your representative to stop the Dirty Air Act!
In a matter of days, the Obama administration is planning to announce new Clean Cars standards that will deliver long overdue
improvements in gas mileage standards and reductions in carbon
pollution.
However, the Dirty Air Act would, among other things, block the
new standards. At least 41 senators and 192 representatives have
indicated that they'd be willing to back the Dirty Air Act. That’s why, with victory
so close at hand, we need you to call your representative today.
Call 202-224-3121 and ask for your representative. When you
reach the office, tell them that you are a constituent and that you
urge the representative to oppose bills to block President Obama from
enforcing the Clean Air Act to fight global warming. (The bills are
H.J.Res. 66, 76, and 77 and H.R. 391, 4396, 4572, and 4573.) Once you
make your call, please take a moment to report your call in the form at
the right.
Thanks for making it all possible.

Don't let one senator snatch defeat from the jaws of victory
We’re on the verge of a hard-fought victory for clean air and clean
energy, but Sen. Lisa Murkowski seems determined to stand in the way.
Last May, President Obama decided to improve the nation’s gas mileage
standards and require big cuts in tailpipe emissions of global warming
pollution. Now, with the EPA moving to finalize this new rule by April
1, Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski wants to snatch defeat from the jaws
of victory.
The Senate could vote within days on her Dirty Air
Act, which would, among other things, block the EPA’s new clean car
standards. Sign our petition to the right telling our senators to Vote
No on the Murkowski Dirty Air Act!

Stop offshore drilling
The oil spill unfolding on the Louisiana coast is a disaster. Please
tell President Obama to pull back his plans for more oil drilling on
our nation’s shores in places including Florida, the mouth of the
Chesapeake Bay, and off the Outer Banks.
The oil slick from BP’s rig is now the biggest spill in U.S. history, with as much as 2 million gallons of crude per day threatening to cover
sperm whales, brown pelicans, shrimp, fish, and the fragile coast
itself. We must not allow more drilling off of our coasts.

sperm whales, brown pelicans, shrimp, fish, and the fragile coast
itself. We must not allow more drilling off of our coasts.

Tell A Friend: No more drilling
The oil spill unfolding on the Louisiana coast is a disaster. Please

Hold BP Accountable
The oil spill from BP's drill rig continues to unfold in the Gulf of
Mexico, with no end in sight to the damage to wildlife, fishermen and
coastal communities. And while the cost of this damage could run as
high as $14 billion, a federal law currently caps liability for oil
companies like BP at only $75 million.
Every dime of liability
that BP -- and Halliburton and Transocean, collectively -- avoid is a
dime of damage that is picked up by us, the taxpaying public.
So let's tell Congress -- "not one dime" of taxpayer money to pay for BP's mess.

Stop new BP oil drilling in Alaska
BP is now just one step away from opening up a new oil rig off the coast of Alaska.
Shockingly, the company whose oil spill in the Gulf just became the
worst environmental disaster in U.S. history is on the verge of getting
a permit to drill some more -- this time just off the coast of Alaska,
near the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Please sign our petition to tell President Obama to stop BP's dangerous
Alaska drilling scheme, and all new drilling off our coasts.
