Tell Boswell to stop the Dirty Air Act: We need action on clean energy not more obstructionism. 

 

Attend the Boswell Action April 22; 

also in celebration of Earth Day

 

Many of the Dirty Air Act proposals currently in Congress would block President Obama's new Clean Car standards,  and all would prevent regulation of old dirty coal plants-unless Congress, like Rep. Boswell, stand up and defend the Clean Air Act.

 

The Clean Car standards just finalized by the Obama Administration will cut America's oil use by 11.6 billion gallons in 2016, saving us about $32 billion at the gas pump in one year, according to a new Environment America analysis.

 

Leading the attack in the Senate are Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska and Jay Rockefeller, D-West Virginia.  In the House, it's three senior Democrats along with the Republican leadership.

 

We're so close to a major, hard-fought victory for clean air and clean energy. 

 

With Big Oil pushing and bankrolling this rollback, your help is necessary.
