John,
In 2010, the Supreme Court made its Citizens United decision, which opened the floodgates to $1 billion in campaign contributions from the fossil fuel industry.
In 2020 alone, the industry spent over $200 million in an all-out attempt to influence the outcome of presidential election and House and Senate races.
We can’t fool ourselves — The fossil fuel industry tentacles have a tight grip on our political system, reaching deep into Congress and state legislatures. Industry lobbyists are trying to use the power of the purse and PACs to determine our environmental protections.
While we may believe the fossil fuel industry is fighting a doomed rearguard action against the rising tide of sustainable energy solutions, the truth is that fossil fuel interests are doing all they can to stall the progress we should be making on climate change and renewable energy.
The fossil fuel industry thinks their hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign contributions will overwhelm the small-dollar donations from people across the country who want clean energy solutions.
With every dollar they contribute to a member of Congress, the work to save our planet is set back.
Thanks to your help in 2020, SEEC PAC was able to re-elect over 95% of our pro-environment members to the U.S. House of Representatives — defying the odds on a night where Democrats lost seats. Now we are counting on you to help our SEEC members pass climate, clean energy and environmental justice policies in the 117th Congress while we undo the damage of the Trump Administration. But if you'd like to receive fewer emails, we understand. You can click here to only get our most important messages, or you can unsubscribe.
