Hello World Family,and especially those in the U.S.: call your senators tonight! Tell them NO WAY AM I GOING TO TOLERATE AN EFFORT TO WEAKEN THE CLEAN AIR ACT WITH THIS AMENDMENT!!!
CLIMATE CHANGE AND GLOBAL WARMING DAMN WELL NEEDS TO BE REGULATED BY THE EPA!
They should understand your position after you say that.
Senator Murkowski wants to play on the sly by attacking the EPA's right to oversee Climate Change and global warming under the Clean Air Act.
Please see below:
Senator Murkowski spoke today on the Senate floor in support of a Resolution of Disapproval (co-sponsored by Ds Blanche Lincoln (AR), Ben Nelson (NE) and Mary Landrieu (LA) and most Rs) which she introduced. The resolution disapproves of EPA's 'endangerment finding' (12/09 finding that CO2 threatens human health and the environment). The amendment was crafted in accordance with the Congressional Review Act, a law that enables Congress to veto federal agency rules (like the endangerment finding) using expedited procedures.
WHAT THIS MEANS: The endangerment finding essentially gave EPA the authority/responsibility to regulate global warming pollution under the Clean Air Act. Thus, if this resolution passes essentially overruling the endangerment finding, EPA no longer has the ability to regulate global warming pollution under the Clean Air Act.
The Murkowski amendment may be offered as early as tomorrow.
CALL YOUR SENATORS TONIGHT! LEAVE A MESSAGE!
In Pennsylvania:
Casey (202-224-6324)
Senator Specter has already said he will NOT support this amendment. Good job, Arlen!
Thank you for your quick action, Family! For those who like to breathe, this is too important to ignore.
Peace,
Falcon and Dove
