Stop the EPA's Global Warming Power Grab

The Obama administration is bypassing Congress to implement outrageous global warming regulations on the entire U.S. economy through the EPA. The American people's representatives in Congress rejected the cap-and-trade energy tax scheme. But Obama is going around Congress to install global warming rules anyway.

Congress must step in and stop the EPA power-grab. You can help by sending a clear message to our elected officials: if you don't stop the EPA, we will hold you responsible for what they do.

UPDATE: Senator Mitch McConnell has offered an amendment that will stop EPA!! It's the same language as the Inhofe-Upton bill, click below to read more. Take action today and tell your senator to support the McConnell Amendment.

Dear (recipient name),

The Environmental Protection Agency is an out-of-control bureaucracy attempting an unprecedented power-grab, seeking to regulate every aspect of our lives and take control of the U.S. economy by shoehorning greenhouse gas regulation into the 1970 Clean Air Act. There is no worse tool than the Clean Air Act for this task, whose old fashioned, command-and-control regulations would devastate the United States economy.
 
The devastating impacts of allowing EPA to continue with its proposed regulations are easy to see.  It is your responsibility as a Member of Congress to stop them.  Not by replacing Clean Air Act regulation with another economically ruinous scheme like a cap-and-trade energy tax, but with clean preemption language that removes the threat.  
 
There are efforts underway that I urge you to support.  The most important is the Barrasso-Walberg bill (S. 228 and H.R. 750), which would clarify that the federal government should not distort any existing statutes to regulate global warming.  Congress makes the laws in this country, and the Executive should not take action on this enormous issue unless and until Congress tells them to.

Additionally, the Inhofe-Upton bill (S. 482 and H.R. 910) is also an important effort that would preempt EPA’s distortion of the Clean Air Act by making clear that Congress never intended the Act to be used for greenhouse gases.

I urge you to cosponsor and support both of these bills and work to restore Congress’s proper role in the regulatory process.
