Don't let one senator snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

We’re on the verge of a hard-fought victory for clean air and clean energy, but Sen. Lisa Murkowski seems determined to stand in the way. Last May, President Obama decided to improve the nation’s gas mileage standards and require big cuts in tailpipe emissions of global warming pollution. Now, with the EPA moving to finalize this new rule by April 1, Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski wants to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

The Senate could vote within days on her Dirty Air Act, which would, among other things, block the EPA’s new clean car standards. Sign our petition to the right telling our senators to vote No on the Murkowski Dirty Air Act!
