IT'S A CLOSE VOTE! Call your Senators in opposition to Murkowski's Dirty Air Act TODAY

With oil still gushing into the Gulf, it's ridiculous that on Thursday, the Senate is actually considering giving oil companies a blank check to pollute the air we breath and the water we drink. Call your Senators and tell them to oppose gutting the Clean Air Act. Ask to be connected to your Senator using the U.S. Congress Switchboard: 202-224-3121.

I had to try several times to get through to Kerry's office.

It must be nice for the big oil companies to know they have a true friend in Senator Lisa Murkowski.

As the Deepwater Oil Disaster escalated last month, Senator Murkowski single-handedly blocked a Senate proposal to increase oil company liability in the event of a major spill.1

Now, she's focusing her attacks on the Clean Air Act in a resolution written by oil company lobbyists2 behind closed doors in back rooms. Worse still, her Dirty Air Act is coming up for a vote in the Senate TODAY.

In other words, in the face of the unprecedented environmental catastrophe on our Gulf shore, Murkowski wants to take away one of the strongest tools we have to rein in oil companies and end our nation's addiction to fossil fuels -- on marching orders taken directly from the biggest polluters themselves. It's outrageous and we have to stop it.

Call your Senators and ask them to vote NO on Senator Murkowski's Dirty Air Act.

Your Senators can be reached at:

Senator Switchboard: 202-224-3121
Senator Switchboard: 202-224-3121
