Take Action: Protect Communities Living With Fracking Today; Stop Sales of Fossil Fuels on Federal Lands; Demand Hillary Divorce Monsanto’s Lobbyists Now

Protect Communities Living With Fracking Today

800px-Erdoelbohrung_und_Pumpe_in_Hiersdorf_bei_Wartberg_an_der_KremsLast year, the Environmental Protection Agency introduced a proposed rule that would cut methane pollution from new and modified fracking-related development. Fracking-related air pollution is bad for the climate and our health. But the EPA’s proposed rule to limit air pollution from fracking doesn’t cover existing sources. Now is the time to demand that the EPA start the process for limiting air pollution from existing oil and gas facilities. We cannot leave communities living with fracking behind. Take action: Tell the EPA to protect everyone from fracking-related air pollution!

Stop Sales of Fossil Fuels on Federal Lands

Centrale_Saint-DenisCoal represents less than half of the total potential greenhouse gas emissions on federal lands.2While tamping down on coal mining, the Obama administration has released rules that allow fracking on federal lands, and is moving ahead with a plan to offer up huge new areas of the Atlantic and the Gulf for offshore oil drilling. The urgency, and the math, of climate change leaves no time for half measures — but that’s exactly what turning a blind eye to federal oil and gas production is. President Obama should make all fossil fuels on federal lands off limits, not just coal. Tell President Obama: Stop sales of all fossil fuels on federal lands.

Demand Hillary Divorce Monsanto’s Lobbyists NowMonsanto_Company

In 2014, Hillary Clinton received a $325,000 “speaking fee” for giving the keynote address to one of Monsanto’s main GMO lobbying front groups, Biotechnology International Organization, to help the industry address consumer fears over GMOs. While on the campaign trail in 2007, Hillary Clinton held a fundraiser at Monsanto’s law firm in Washington DC titled “Rural Americans for Hillary” and even had the audacity to put a giant “Welcome Hillary” sign on the back of a soybean sprayer that sprays toxic chemicals like Monsanto’s Roundup, which has been linked to cancer, on GMOs all across Iowa and the Midwest. Incredibly, Iowa has the highest rates of cancer in the Midwest and not surprisingly grows 97% GMO soy and 93% of GMO corn, which have been genetically engineered to survive being sprayed with massive doses of Monsanto’s Roundup. Tell Hilary to divorce Monsanto now.
