Protect Our Health From Polluters!
In the 40 years since Americans demanded its creation, the EPA has saved millions of lives by enforcing clean air and water standards. More than 1.7 million asthma attacks and $110 billion in health costs were avoided in 2010 alone thanks to the agency's efforts.
But polluting corporations want to dangerously water down EPA safeguards to put their profits above our health.
Be part of our new Stop Polluters Campaign - we are going to hand deliver a petition with a 100,000 signatures to get the attention of the White House. We need Obama to stand strong when it comes to the health of our families.
Dear President Obama,
Pollution from burning oil and coal produces a host of serious, life-threatening health problems for our families and communities, inflicting children with asthma, stifling childhood development and cutting short thousands of lives. Oil and Coal are also destroying our nation's economic health. By tying us to dirty 19th century energy sources and outdated technology, these corporate polluters are putting their profit margins before our economy, safety and health.
Fortunately, the Environmental Protection Agency exists to enforce much needed safeguards to keep polluters from making us sick. In the 40 years since Americans demanded its creation, the EPA has saved millions of lives by enforcing clean air and water standards. More than 1.7 million asthma attacks and $110 billion in health costs were avoided in 2010 alone thanks to the agency's efforts.
The nation's physical and economic well-being depends on passing and enforcing strong standards to protect people's health. We urge you to stand up for our families' health by supporting strong EPA standards for clean air and water.
