December 8 update – It's back AGAIN. After we defeated Manchin's dirty deal on Tuesday, December 6 in the US House of Representatives, Manchin's dirty deal is back, like a zombie, to threaten our climate and communities.

This time Manchin has re-introduced an even-dirtier version of his dirty deal in the Senate. Manchin says he want's to attach it to the Defense Authorization bill in the Senate, this time as an amendment. And what's worse, President Biden and Senate Leader Schumer are threatening to let Manchin get away with it!

Click here or call 833-971-2490 to get connected to your Senators and tell them to vote NO on any attempt to attach Manchin's dirty deal to the Defense Authorization bill, or any spending bill, in the last weeks of this year.

Dec 6 update - It's back again. Like a zombie menace. Manchin's dirty deal — we thought we'd killed it back in September — is back from the dead to wreak havoc on our communities and climate.

This time, he's trying to attach the deal to the National Defense Authorization Act, which Congress will vote on any day now.

A vote in the House Rules committee could come as soon as 9am ET Tuesday December 6. Call (833) 971-2490 and tell your Representative and both Senators to vote no on Manchin's dirty deal.

Last September, 75 Democrats pledged to stop Manchin's Dirty Deal in the House of Representatives by signing on to a letter from Rep Grijalva. And in the Senate, our calls and emails helped convince Senators Booker, Duckworth, Kaine, Markey, Merkley, Sanders, Warren and Warner, to come out in opposition. All those Democrats, combined with unanimous opposition from Republicans eventually convinced Manchin to withdraw his deal as an amendment to a must-pass spending bill called a Continuing Resolution.

We won in September thanks to the actions you and lots of 198 methods members took. But we also warned you that Manchin would try and bring his dirty deal back at the end of the year.

Today the Washington Post reports that there have been talks in the House Armed Services Committee about attaching a new version of Manchin’s dirty deal to another must-pass spending bill, this time the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

Rep. Grijalva is reviving opposition in the House, but our Senate allies appear to have been caught off guard by this latest attempt to attach Manchin’s dirty energy bill to an unrelated piece of must-pass spending legislation.

Before the rules vote in the House of Representatives tomorrow, leave a message for your Representative and both Senators telling them, regardless of party, No Dirty Deal attachments to spending bills!

Thanks,
