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.

The complicity of this administration in creating this energy “crisis” to get at national lands will be exposed. It is up to you to stand against these assaults on our national treasure, just as you would against any foreign power trying to destroy our countries natural treasure. There is no power more foreign to the goals established by our founding government than the substitution of the president’s interest over that of the people he is sworn to govern not rule.

When I was a kid, I marveled at the stupidity of cows defecating in their own feeding trough. Sadly, now it is us! Paul Thomas

Global warming affects us all. We need to act now and try to change this downward spiral we have created.

We all know, though some of us hate to admit it yet, that we are already in serious trouble as a planet. And, if this proposal is approved, it will only allow things to worsen for too long before we start to try and reverse the effects....which by then may not be as easily reversed. Not that they will be easy were we to start right now, but let's not allow the whole to be dug any deeper than it already has been. Please, think about and help your and my future generations out by opposing this proposal. It is urgent that we start making a difference now.

Action needs to happen YESTERDAY! This bill is patently offensive in light of recent progress made by Senator Boxer.

VOID VOINOVICH because we cannot afford to waste time in this perilous matter. THERE IS NO TIME LEFT. And, hey -- "providing taxpayer-subsidies for favored technologies" is absolutely unacceptable; must be vetoed immediately, and would be a disgrace and lead away from holding those "favored technologies" responsible for their future actions.
