John,
Last week, an Exxon lobbyist was caught undercover, bragging how the fossil fuel giant weakened climate and corporate tax priorities in President Biden’s infrastructure bill. The lobbyist highlighted the key role corporate Democrats, like Senators Joe Manchin, Krysten Sinema, and Chris Coons play in furthering Exxon’s agenda in Congress.
Oceans are on fire and public infrastructure is melting, yet Corporate Democrats continue to accept money from oil and gas corporations and fail to act boldly on climate change. Through thousands of dollars in campaign contributions and influential lobbying, oil and gas companies like Exxon have evaded accountability and lied to the public, regulators, and Congress about the actual danger posed by their industry practices.
Oil and gas corporations have resisted Congressional oversight while manipulating their public narrative and exerting influence in the policymaking process, but Justice Democrats can’t be bought. Justice Democrats in Congress are leading the effort to tackle climate change by raising corporate taxes and holding companies like Exxon accountable for the harm they’ve caused.
Justice Democrats in Congress won’t accept a dime from corporations because they know that dark money = political influence. If you are sick and tired of corporations like Exxon calling the shots in Congress, will you chip in $3 right now?
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
