Dear Alex,

The power of the EPA to protect us from global warming -- by regulating
emissions of carbon dioxide from the biggest polluters in the country -- is
under attack in the Senate.

We urgently need you to call your Senators today (Monday, Sept. 21) or at
the very latest Tuesday morning. Tell them that we need the EPA to have full
authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions, regardless of the source.
Urge them to defeat the "Murkowski amendment" to the Interior Appropriations
bill.

You can reach your senators by calling the Senate switchboard in Washington:
202-224-3121.

Call now.  The vote on this critical amendment is expected on Tuesday.

Background:  Even while the Senate is drafting climate legislation, Sen.
Murkowski of Alaska has circulated a draft amendment that would prohibit the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for one year from spending any money
to regulate or control CO2 emissions from stationary sources including
coal-fired power plants, the largest point-source of CO2 emissions in the
country.

This amendment is a back-door effort to hamstring the EPA, which has been
powerfully effective in improving U.S. air quality and protecting public
health.  Thanks to the EPA, air in our nation's cities is substantially
cleaner.  Nearly the entire country is meeting air quality targets set for
carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide.  Ozone air quality has
improved in 99 of the 104 areas designated as having unhealthy ozone levels.
Lead levels in ambient air are 91% lower than in 1980, greatly reducing the
number of children with IQs below 70 as a result of dirty air.   

The EPA is highly effective at protecting the health of the American people.

We need the EPA to act now to reduce CO2 levels.  Greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere are already at dangerous levels.  We must roll back carbon
emissions before they reach the tipping point.  Prompt, bold action can
still protect us from the worst effects of global climate change.  Yet the
Murkowski amendment would allow the major sources of greenhouse gases in
this country to continue emitting CO2 raising the risk for us and the entire
world.  

Finally, this amendment would send the most counter-productive message
imaginable, at the worst possible time, to foreign governments.  It would
suggest that the U.S. government is not serious about containing climate
change mere months before December's United Nations climate conference in
Copenhagen.

Call your Senators today.  Ask them to oppose the "Murkowski amendment." 

Sincerely,
