Your Member of Congress Attacked Climate Action

200 members of Congress—including yours—advocated for the courts to strike down America's Clean Power Plan. This takes aim at the heart of America's biggest step towards climate action—first-ever national limits on the carbon pollution spewing from our power plants.

It is so unfortunate that these members of Congress seek to obstruct these vital climate safeguards. In signing onto this brief, your member of Congress ignored the wishes and future well-being of the American people—2 out of 3 of whom support limits on climate pollution.

Obstruction and delay are not what citizens expect from their leaders—and your member of Congress deserves to hear that from you that climate action is fundamental to our security and our prosperity.

I'm disappointed in your lack of support for climate security

Dear [Decision Maker],

* Personalize your message

I just learned of your unfortunate decision to sign onto the brief for members of Congress as amici curiae in support of the big emitters seeking to strike down America's Clean Power Plan--the first ever national limits on the single largest source of carbon pollution in our nation.

You submitted this brief to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit Court at the same time a major new study documents that the pace and scope of Sea Level rise is unprecedented.  We need climate action, not obstructionism, for our security, economy, and public health.  Half of Louisiana's residents support setting strict limits on carbon pollution from existing coal-fired power plants.

America's Clean Power Plan rests on a strong legal foundation, as states, power companies, legal experts and air pollution control officials nationwide have already recognized.  In fact, when it has closely reviewed these legal questions on the merits, the Supreme Court itself has repeatedly upheld EPA's authority and responsibility to limit climate pollution under the Clean Air Act--and found that the very authority EPA is relying on here "speaks directly" to the carbon pollution from existing power plants.

The carbon pollution reductions outlined in the Plan are expected to:
 * Save 3,600 lives each year,
 * Prevent 90,000 childhood asthma attacks every year, and
 * Save the average American family almost $85 on annual energy bills.

Obstructionism and delay are not what I expect of my leaders. Now is the time to accelerate our state's transition to a low-carbon, clean energy future. I support America's Clean Power Plan, and want it to move forward because it has the facts, law and science on its side.

In the future, please stand in favor of climate action and our nation's security, and against any further attempts to block implementation of America's Clean Power Plan.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
