Unelected, Unaccountable -- But Dangerous

Help Stop the EPA's Climate Change Power Grab

Congress isn't perfect. That's for sure.

But at least we have the chance to hold them accountable every two years at the ballot box.

Unfortunately, the same can't be said for White House bureaucracies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

However, the EPA is ready to side-step Congress to enact harmful, de facto climate change regulations that pose a direct threat to America's economic recovery.

So, what can we do about it?

Email your Senators now in support of S.J. Res. 26 -- Senator Lisa Murkowski's Congressional Review Act Resolution of Disapproval of EPA's new actions.

What, exactly, is the EPA doing? They've declared that greenhouse gases "endanger public health and welfare of current and future generations."

They're going to use that "endangerment" ruling to enact a whole series of regulations under the Clean Air Act -- new measures that will increase our energy prices, impose massive new administrative costs on businesses, and slow down our nation's recovery.

Senator Murkowski's resolution would send a clear signal of disapproval of the EPA's dangerous actions -- click here today to urge your Senators to support it.

Using the Clean Air Act to address climate change means giving businesses all the bad (fees, mandates, citizen suits, project delays) and none of the good (global solutions, incentives for new technologies).

Forget about cap and trade; the Clean Air Act is just a cap.

The Senate is set to vote on Senator Murkowski's resolution as early as June 10. This could be our only legitimate chance to stop the EPA's unprecedented show of power.

Please click here to email your Senators and ask them to support this important resolution.

Sincerely,

Bill Miller
Senior Vice President and National Political Director
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
