| Let America Vote is leading the fight for voting rights. We're creating political consequences for politicians who make it harder to vote. If you really want to unsubscribe, click here. Since the Supreme Court's decision on Citizens United the energy sector has poured over $907 million worth of campaign contributions into federal elections. And a record-breaking $220 million was spent in the last election cycle alone. You don't have to be a climate scientist to realize this industry is slowly destroying our planet. In order to combat climate change, we must first understand how our current political system is rigged to give powerful special interest groups influence over environmental protections. Big Money from the fossil fuel industry hinders progress toward sustainable energy solutions as well as the election of lawmakers who would take climate change seriously. We need environmental policies that work for everyone. One way we can make sure this happens is by urging your Senator to support the For the People Act (S. 1, H.R. 1). This critical piece of legislation would shine a light on the power of the oil and gas industry and curb its influence over politicians and environmental policies. Can you call your Senator today at (202) 499-6085 and urge them to support the For the People Act so we can work toward a cleaner and safer environment? The oil and gas industry have spent the last decade pumping enormous amounts of money into campaigns to drown out the voices of the vast majority of people who want clean energy solutions. Enough is enough. The For the People Act (S.1, H.R. 1) would shine a light on the dark money that the oil and gas industry is behind, and it would reform lobbying rules. Those changes would crack down on the undue access and outsized influence that allows special interests to block bills that would work to mitigate the devastating effects of climate change. Call your Senator at (202) 499-6085 and urge them to support the For The People Act (S.1, H.R. 1) today. Thank you for all you do, Team Let America Vote |
