A short-sighted, dangerous giveaway to the fossil fuel industry

Take action to help protect our planet.

The Trump administration is going to eliminate the Clean Power Plan -- pitch in $3 now to help elect Democrats who will act on climate change to protect our planet for future generations. DONATE The mission of the Environmental Protection Agency is a simple one: "to protect human health and the environment." Apparently, no one has shared this information with EPA chief Scott Pruitt. Pruitt and the Trump administration announced plans to eliminate the Clean Power Plan -- protections that President Obama put in place to limit greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. This is a short-sighted, dangerous giveaway to the fossil fuel industry. If you're sick and tired of this behavior from this administration, this is the time to step up. Pitch in $3 or whatever you can right now to help elect Democrats who will fight back. The head of the EPA is tasked with keeping our public lands, water, and air clean and safe. But Pruitt has little interest in doing that job: Pruitt was arguably the loudest advocate for leaving the Paris Climate Accord. He willfully ignored his agency's own experts and the American Academy of Pediatrics to approve the usage of a pesticide that can cause neurological damage in children. In June, Pruitt announced plans to rescind the Clean Water Rule, which keeps streams and rivers that provide drinking water for one-third of Americans safe from dangerous pollutants. When he was Oklahoma's attorney general, he made his name suing the EPA to fight regulations on polluters. And he's spent his tenure at the agency holding secret meetings with fossil fuel executives and lobbyists. This week's news is the latest example of Pruitt doing what's best for the fossil fuel industry at the expense of public health and safety -- the exact opposite of his agency's mission. Chip in whatever you can right now to help elect Democrats who will keep our air and water safe and protect our planet for future generations.
