Email to me from League of Conservation Voters:
Eric, we just delivered a massive blow to Donald Trump! Thanks to your calls and emails, the Senate just voted, 51-49, to stand up to the oil and gas industry and say hell no — you can’t have a free pass to pollute our air and spew dangerous methane pollution into our atmosphere!
This is a huge win for our health, our clean air, and our climate, and shows that President Trump’s plans to unravel hard-won environmental protections are not a foregone conclusion. We thank each and every senator who stood up against big polluters today and defended commonsense safeguards from methane pollution.
This victory was made possible by all of you! This successful vote in the Senate is the result of months of hard work making your voices heard to your senators. LCV members signed more than 60,000 petitions, flooded Senate offices with thousands of calls, and filled the streets during the Peoples Climate March, with hundreds of thousands of us marching across the country for protecting our environment and acting on climate.
Methane pollution is one of the biggest contributors to climate change. Keeping President Obama’s methane rule in place will prevent a huge amount of toxic methane from getting into our air and further damaging our climate. It is proof that we can defeat Trump and his anti-environment, pro-polluter agenda! The resistance is working!
But the fight is far from over — the Paris Climate Agreement hangs in the balance, and the EPA budget is still on the chopping block. Let’s celebrate, take pride in what we’ve accomplished together, and get ready for the continued fight.
Thank you so much for all you do!
Sincerely,
