DEVELOPING — after weeks of meetings with energy industry lobbyists, House Republicans have combined their worst proposals into one piece of legislation: H.R. 1, the so-called “Lower Energy Costs Act.”
This is a worst case scenario, Friend.
More drilling for climate-polluting oil and gas. More dangerous pipelines. Gutting environmental review. Vague “national security” exceptions to the Clean Air Act. Ending funding for renewable energy.
We can’t let this pass without a fight. Every single member of Congress needs to be feeling grassroots pressure right now. A group of donors has put together a triple match fund to help power our campaign —
but to pull this off, we need your help.
Please, make a gift right now. For a limited time, your support will go three times as far. That means a gift of just $5 becomes $15 when you give right now.
The “1” in H.R. 1 indicates that this is the first priority for Republican leadership in the House. And this is a huge signal:
with their first major bill, House Republicans have decided to sacrifice our planet’s future to give handouts to corporate polluters.
Speaker McCarthy has already delivered for Big Oil and other corporate polluters, holding sham hearings and closed door negotiations with lobbyists. Now is when the people — and the environmental movement — make
our voices heard.
We need to dramatically scale up our grassroots campaign if we’re going to be able to go toe-to-toe with corporate lobbyists… and win.
But without the support of environmentalists like you, that can’t happen. So we’re asking:
Help us reach our $40,000 fundraising goal. Even $5 helps. A group of donors has agreed to TRIPLE MATCH all gifts for a limited time. Your support for our climate will go 3X as far.
Thank you for making your voice heard. We’ll be in touch soon with updates on our campaign and more ways that you can help.
Onward,
LCV Rapid Response
