John,
As you know, it's official. Senator Joe Manchin announced that he plans to
vote no on the Build Back Better Act when -- or if -- it comes up for a
vote.
If Manchin sticks to his decision, he would be killing the largest
investment in the fight against climate change by our government in
history -- shutting down over $555 billion in critical spending and making
it nearly impossible for the U.S. to meet its emissions-cutting pledges
under the Paris Agreement.
This shouldn't come as a surprise.
Senator Manchin in his role as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy
and Natural Resources has repeatedly ignored, stalled, or shot-down
attempt after attempt to transition our country away from climate crisis
causing fossil fuels to sustainable alternatives such as wind and solar.
Senator Manchin must face consequences for his betrayal of the American
people, the President, and his colleagues in the House and Senate.
Whether our pressure leads to Manchin caving once again -- only this time
in our favor -- in order to keep the Chairmanship or it leads to him
booted from his committee role, it's time to hold Senator Manchin
accountable.

Chair of the most important environmental committee in the U.S. Senate
NOW.

Thank you for taking action. Seriously addressing the climate crisis is
going to require all of us.
