Dear Jim,
Tell Your Representative to Protect the EPA's Ability to Set Clean Car Standards
The EPA is poised to announce a historic new clean cars rule that marks the first major increase in fuel economy standards since their inception in 1975.
But some members of Congress want to take away the EPA's Clean Air Act authority to set tailpipe standards for global warming pollution.
Call your representative and ask Congress to celebrate this victory by protecting the EPA's ability to limit greenhouse gas emissions from our cars.
Tired of feeding money into your gas tank? Updated fuel economy standards will save consumers billions of dollars at the pump.
Worried about our country's security? The EPA's rule will reduce oil consumption by nearly 2 billion barrels. That's more oil than we imported in 2008 from Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Libya and Nigeria combined!
Want America to take the lead in the fight against global warming? Cleaner cars will cut our global warming emissions by 30%.
We can't let Big Oil undermine this huge victory for our country and our planet by taking away the EPA's ability to set these standards -- call your representative today.
Polluters are trying to portray EPA action to fight global warming as controversial, but the truth is that both the auto industry and the United Auto Workers support new standards.
Why?
Because in addition to saving us money, making our country more secure, and fighting global warming, the new standards will also help more sustainable and competitive domestic auto industry flourish in the 21st century.
A couple of minutes is all it takes to protect our economy, our security and our environment -- please make your call today.
Thank you for all you do to protect the environment.
Ann Mesnikoff Green Transportation Campaign Director
