Protect Our Children From Dangerous Pollution!

Right now, dangerous toxins like mercury, lead and arsenic are being spewed into our air by coal-fired power plants. These emissions poison everyone, but do the most damage to children and fetuses.

Polluters and their Washington lobbyists are fighting for the right to keep polluting. They want to kill regulations of toxic emissions -- putting everyone, but especially fetuses, infants and toddlers, at risk of neurological damage, as well as diseases like asthma, diabetes and emphysema.

The latest attack on clean air comes in the TRAIN Act (H.R. 2401), which, for the first time ever, would delay lifesaving regulations indefinitely.

This legislation would sacrifice tens of thousands of lives, allow further air and water pollution and results in expensive large-scale health problems for Americans.

Tell Congress: No more delays in cleaning up our air and protecting our health.
SUBJECT: Protect our air and protect our children. Oppose H.R. 2401

Dear [Decision Maker],

As you consider your vote on H.R. 2401, I urge you to ask yourself this: How can I vote for something that compromises the health of our children?

I do everything I can to protect my loved ones from illness. But I cannot keep them from breathing in polluted air that causes damage to their heart, lungs and brain.

However, I can fight for clean air -- and so can you. Today, I'm asking you to start by voting against H.R. 2401, which would allow even more lives to be lost while essential clean air standards are stalled.

In fact, by delaying these clean air regulations for just one year we could see:

-More than 25,000 lives lost
-11,000 heart attacks
- 120,000 asthma attacks
-12,200 more hospital and emergency room visits

H.R. 2401 will allow power plants to continue poisoning our communities with lethal toxins like mercury, arsenic and lead for an indefinite amount of time.

I do not believe that we must choose because jobs and clean air. Decades of evidence shows that we can have both. Clean air means strong workers AND new jobs.

I don't know about you, but I'm not willing to expose my child to harmful air.
