Tell Harrisburg: Stop Attacking Pennsylvania's Environment!

  • by: PennEnvironment
  • recipient: Pennsylvania State Representatives and Senators
Last election day, Pennsylvanians sent a clear message: the state needs to be on a different path than the Corbett years.

Unfortunately, the Republican-led legislature just voted for a budget that would uphold the disastrous anti-environmental legacy of Tom Corbett.

Their alarming proposal would:

- Put the brakes on much-needed protections from fracking pollution that have been in the works for years.
- Stop Gov. Wolf from restarting Pennsylvania's solar energy program—a program that helped grow solar by 16% in 2013.
- Slash funds for more environmental cops on the beat to track down illegal polluters and make sure corporations are complying with our cornerstone environmental laws.
- Keep frackers and some of the richest corporations on the planet like ExxonMobil from paying their fair share.

Luckily, Governor Wolf recognized that stripping those vital environmental protections out of this budget bill would devastate Pennsylvania and vetoed the bill.

Now Gov. Wolf and the Legislature are going back to negotiations. And its time our legislators get with the program and stop attacking Pennsylvanians environment.

Send a message to your representative today calling for a bill that protects our families and our environment, NOT wealthy frackers and oil companies!
Dear Legislator,

I'm dismayed with the recent budget passed by the legislature. We need a budget that protects our environment, not more of what Gov. Corbett did.

That's not what Pennsylvanians want and it's not what we need.

The earlier budget would have:

- Put the brakes on much-needed protections from fracking pollution that have been in the works for years.

- Stopped Gov. Wolf from restarting Pennsylvania's solar energy program—a program that helped grow solar by 16% in 2013.

- Slashed funds for more environmental cops on the beat to track down illegal polluters and make sure corporations are complying with our cornerstone environmental laws.

- Kept frackers and some of the richest corporations on the planet like ExxonMobil from paying their fair share.

This time around we need a budget that helps our environment and regular Pennsylvanians. Please, I urge you to support a budget that's good for our environment and good for Pennsylvania—instead of pandering to polluters and lobbyists in Harrisburg.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
