Don't Allow Global Warming Pollution to Increase for Decades
Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
Senator George Voinovich (R-OH) proposed legislation that would postpone meaningful action on global warming pollution for at least twenty years.
The Voinovich bill is dressed up as a way to take action, but in fact is a detailed prescription for doing nothing.
The proposal would take away state authority to control global warming pollution, undermining efforts in dozens of states, including California, Florida and the Northeast members of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, which have set ambitious emissions reduction targets. And this is just the beginning.
We need to do everything we can to defeat Senator Voinovich's sham proposal. Email your Senators today.

This issue isn't going to go away by ignoring it. Delays will further damage our planet, our wildlife population, our farm production; in short, our quality of life!

What a greedy, thoughtless society we have become. We must realize we can not continue to rape mother earth without causing irrepairable damage. If we don't change soon, we will surely pay a great price.

Our kids, our future, demand action now. What kind of a world will our kids inherit? One they can breath in or one they need gas masks or domes enclosing cities. The future is here and now.

I urge you to oppose the Voinovich proposal allowing global warming pollution to increase for decades. Even though the proposal is presented as a way to address global warming, it would block serious global warming action this year. Enact legislation that significantly curbs environmental pollution such as stricter air and water quality standards and fuel efficency and emissions standards in vehicles.

The proposal calls for weak, non-binding emissions reduction benchmarks - current levels in 2020 and 1990 levels in 2030 - while providing taxpayer-funded subsidies for favored technologies.This so-called global warming proposal is nothing more than a detailed prescription for doing nothing. It's time to get serious about global warming. I urge you to oppose the Voinovich bill.

Please oppose the Voinovich bill! We need to get serious about global warming restrictions. The Voinovich bill is a joke, and would cause further problems!
