PHONE NUMBER CHANGE. NUMBER IS 202-456-1414 *****Urge the White House to veto anti-environmental "riders!"***** **Pass the message on to 5 other people** Right now, we're facing serious environmental and public health problems like water pollution, air pollution, global warming, destruction of public land, and many more. You would think that with problems like these, government and the private sector would seek to work together for solutions. However, this summer, members of Congress, pressured by their friends from industry attached many anti-environmental provisions to spending bills, hoping they will be passed through. Out of all the provisions to date, one of the most egregious would freeze miles-per-gallon standards on cars and light trucks, costing us money at the gas pump and increasing global warming pollution. Others would remove wetlands protection, increase logging in our national forests, and force taxpayers to clean up the waste left behind by mining companies on public lands. We need to protect our public health, as well as our air, water, and public lands. We need to send a message to decision-makers, both in Congress and the White House, that we demand stronger, not weaker environmental protections. We are asking folks to call the White House to urge President Clinton to veto any spending bills that have anti-environmental provisions in them. *****The phone number is 202-456-1414, press 0 for an operator, and the message is "President Clinton should veto any spending bill that has anti-environmental provisions.****** After you call, please email me back at Iowa PIRG.
