For the past several months Donald Trump has been traveling around the country to meet with oil executives and beg them for money, assuring them that if they donate a billion dollars to his presidential campaign, the second Trump administration will:

1. Slash oil drilling regulations (because underregulated oil drilling never caused any environmental catastrophes or anything)
2. Expedite leasing and permitting approvals for fossil fuel corporations 
3. Reverse limits on auto emissions (more pollution! Who likes clean air anyway?!)
4. Expand tax breaks AND increase taxpayer-funded oil & gas subsidies (The GOP doesn’t like giving “free handouts” to families struggling to get by, but corporate welfare is A-OK.)

In other words, Trump Admin 2.0 will make sure these executives are rolling in cash, Scrooge McDuck-style.

I’ve got more to say on this (shocking, I know), but I hope you’ll consider chipping in $20 so I can continue taking on corporate mega-polluters in Congress.

OK, folks, let’s look past the fact that holding secret meetings with fossil fuel executives to allow them to continue destroying the planet is the work of a third-tier comic-book villain.

Instead, we should focus on the inevitable outcome of letting Big Fossil Fuel regulate themselves. They WILL cause an environmental catastrophe; the only questions are when, where, and how bad?

So, what can we do about it?

I can’t predict who wins the White House. But I can tell you that only a strong Democratic Majority in Congress can foil Donald Trump and his fossil fuel buddies.

Donald may be courting billionaires, but I'm counting on the power of grassroots support to keep this seat blue and flip the House this November. Will you make a contribution today?

Thank you,
