Dirty Air Act Three

Democratic Senators Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln and Ben Nelson are big threats to the Clean Air Act. We have to stop this Dirty Air Act Three before their actions embolden more Democrats to join Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Coal).

Last week, Sen. Murkowski was forced to withdraw her amendment gutting the Clean Air Act from an unrelated budget bill because of the pressure she received to save the Clean Air Act.

But the fight continues. When Sen. Murkowski withdrew her amendment, she announced a new attack on the Clean Air Act. Murkowski's "resolution of disapproval" would stop the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.

Tell the Dirty Air Act Three: "Congress must not block the Clean Air Act's limits on global warming pollution."

With nearly all Republican Senators signing on as cosponsors, Sen. Murkowski also found three critical Democrats to join on the resolution. What's worse, a "resolution of disapproval" is not subject to filibuster. Big Coal only needs to round up 51 votes to help her pass this bill.

Your pressure works. Thanks for taking action.
