Dear Fellow Ohio Sierra Club Members,
At the start of this year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finally began using its authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. Already, however, powerful forces in Congress--including some Democrats--are working to strip that authority away or delay its long-overdue implementation. We need to make sure Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown stands firm in defense of EPA's authority to cut greenhouse gas pollution right away.
EPA authority to regulate greenhouse gases is the only tool we have right now at the national level to start combating climate change. Taking it away--or delaying it after all these years of inaction--is absolutely unacceptable.
We all need to call Senator Brown today with a single message:
"We're counting on you, Senator Brown, to support and defend full and immediate implementation of EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act."
Call Senator Brown today at his Cleveland office (216-522-7272), his toll-free Ohio line (1-888-896-6446), or his Washington office (202-224-2315).
Senator Brown is a traditional ally of the Sierra Club on energy and climate issues, but we need to make sure he doesn't waver in this tough political landscape. If he hears from enough Ohioans with this message, we believe he'll do the right thing.
Thanks,
Sierra Club Northeast Ohio Group
