Tell Your Senators to Vote "Yes" on Murkowski Resolution

Support the Murkowski Resolution of Disapproval - a resolution that would stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from pursuing its backdoor cap and trade schemes. Your help - sending emails, making phone calls - on behalf of the resolution has brought the roster of bipartisan cosponsoring Senators up to 41. Take action again to push the Murkowski Resolution across the finish line.

Tuesday, May 25th: A Day of Action to Stop the EPA.

A vote on the Senate floor could come very soon and it is important that our efforts these past months not be in vain. On Tuesday, please plan to set aside a little time to help protect our economy from the damaging regulations of the EPA.

Late last year, the EPA issued an "endangerment finding" that allowes the agency to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, which was designed to regulate specific pollutants, rather than something as common as carbon dioxide. Sen. Murkowski (R-AK) has introduced a resolution of disapproval to keep the EPA from leapfrogging Congress with it's own regulations that would be administered by a vast, unelected bureacracy. The economic effects of new EPA regulations could be devastating, slowing the economy and sending more jobs overseas to escape the high costs.

With our economy in a slump and continuing high unemployment, we can't afford the added costs of more regulations and new energy taxes. High energy costs affect everything from heating our homes, the daily commute, the cost of food and shipping. Unfortunately, is the poor who can't absorb these higher costs the hardest and it's the energy producing and agriculture states that could suffer the most. Senator Murkowski's resolution needs our support to keep these sweeping powers out of the EPA's control.

Please join us on Tuesday, May 25 for our Day of Action to Stop the EPA. On Tuesday, we need to send a loud, clear message all at once to our Senators to support the Murkowski Resolution.
