President Obama, allow the EPA to raise air quality standards.

President Obama,
We urge you to reconsider your recent decision to retain weaker air pollution standards. You should allow the EPA to strengthen these standards. Do not yield to the pro pollution lobby. High environmental standards are good for the economy and essential for the health of the people.

Why is this important?

As a result of heavy industry lobbying, the Obama administration decided not to allow the EPA to strengthen air quality standards. Lobbyists claimed that higher air quality standards would hurt the economy. The administration agreed to retain the weaker Bush administration standards.
