Tell Congress: Don't Drill and Drive.
Big Oil and their allies in Congress are holding the transportation bill hostage. They've inserted dangerous drilling mandates for our oceans and the Arctic in the bill.
Congress could vote as early as Wednesday
The proposed new drilling sites are dangerous and remote. One spill could take months to clean up – if the damage could be fixed at all – running the risk of permanently scarring some of the most pristine places on the planet and endangering wildlife like polar bears and seals.
Adding insult to injury, this bill would cut funds for mass transit, biking and other key investments we need to build a more sustainable transportation system and reduce carbon pollution.
We only have a few days left to stop this terrible bill. Members of our powerful environmental coalition are flooding Congressional offices with calls but we need your help to ensure Congress keeps feeling the pressure. Ask your representative to oppose HR 7, the " Drill and Drive" transportation bill.
