Hi John,
Senator Manchin is once again trying to pass his Dirty Deal. We stopped it once, now we need to fight hard to stop it again.
This time, he’s trying to attach the deal to the National Defense Authorization Act. John, this is another classic attempt by Big Oil to sneak fossil fuel expansion through must-pass legislation.
This cannot stand, but we have a short window to stop the Dirty Deal from passing. Can you take two minutes right now to call Rep. Brendan Boyle and Sens. Bob Casey and Pat Toomey and tell them to oppose Manchin’s Dirty Deal? We’ve included a script you can use below:
→ Call (202) 224-3121 ←
“Hi, my name is ____, and I’m from ____. As your constituent, I'm deeply concerned about any legislation that would fast-track fossil fuel projects, hurt our climate, and sacrifice communities.
I’m urging you to vote NO on any rule that would advance Manchin’s dirty pipeline deal.”
In September, the climate movement stood up to Senator Manchin and Senator Schumer and defeated this dirty side deal that would undermine our bedrock environmental laws, fast-track fossil fuel projects like the Mountain Valley Pipeline, and sacrifice environmental justice.
Unfortunately, during the final weeks of this Congress, lawmakers are attempting to revive the Dirty Deal. The House is poised to vote as early as this morning on a rule that would attach Manchin’s deal to Congress’ annual defense bill. New handouts to the fossil fuel industry are unacceptable during a climate crisis; it's critical that we keep up the pressure.
It’s time to kill the Dirty Deal for good. John, please contact Rep. Brendan Boyle and Sens. Bob Casey and Pat Toomey today and tell them to block any legislation that includes Manchin’s Dirty Deal.
In solidarity,
Thanu Yakupitiyage
