Biggest Assault Ever on Air, Water, Lands & Wildlife

Re: Oppose H.R. 2584

Dear Representative,

I strongly urge you to vote NO on H.R. 2584, the Interior and Environment Appropriations bill, and to oppose all anti-environmental amendments and support all pro-environmental amendments. This bill is the biggest assault on the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the wildlife and wild places we hold dear to ever come before Congress.

The Interior and Environment Appropriations bill contains more than three dozen anti-environmental policy riders that have absolutely no place in a budget measure, won't save the country a penny, and are nothing more than giveaways to various special interest polluters. The egregious riders include measures that -- if enacted into law -- would threaten Americans' lives and well-being by blocking limits on harmful air pollution, would increase pollution in sources of drinking water for 117 million Americans, would cause animal and plant species to become extinct by denying them Endangered Species Act protections, and would threaten the iconic Grand Canyon with toxic pollution from uranium mining.
