To: Senator Mark Kirk
Tell Senator Kirk to Reject Attacks on the Clean Power Plan!
We urge you to publicly support the Clean Power Plan, and reject all legislative attempts to stop, delay or weaken it. Climate scientists are clear that we need to make major cuts in carbon pollution immediately in order to avoid catastrophic climate change. The Clean Power Plan is an important step toward the clean energy future our kids need and deserve.
Why is this important?
The Clean Power Plan to put limits on carbon pollution from power plants for the first time was just unveiled by President Obama. But dirty energy interests, together with their allies in Congress, are aggressively working to stop this crucial climate action policy in its tracks.
The day after the final plan was released, the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, headed by infamous climate denier James Inhofe (R-OK), passed a bill that would effectively kill the Clean Power Plan.
Among other things, the "Polluter Protection Act" would allow states to opt out of the Clean Power Plan, and prevent it from being implemented until all lawsuits are settled, which could take decades. This unacceptable bill will be coming to the full Senate soon, and Senator Kirk's vote will help determine its fate.
Senator Kirk voted for legislation to undermine the Clean Plan earlier in the year. We need to make sure he puts the interests of kids and climate before polluters this time.
Sign the petition to tell Senator Kirk to stand up for our kids and climate, and reject attacks on the Clean Power Plan!
