Senate attack on Clean Air Act

[groundloop]

I just received an email from moveon asking for petition signatures, haven't seen anything about this posted yet. Some republican senator is trying to sneak through an override of the clean air act's ability to regulate greenhouse emissions.

It's hard to imagine, but a new sneak attack in the Senate could block
much of the progress President Obama's made on global warming and force
him to adopt President Bush's climate policy.1

President Obama has been cracking down on global warming under Clean Air
Act provisions that Bush and Cheney ignored.

But an oil-state Republican senator has arranged a vote next week to block
the Clean Air Act--and we could lose. Few in Congress even know this
attack is happening. Senate Democrats aren't yet mobilized against it, and
many are even considering going along with this Clean Air Act rollback.

That would be a crippling blow to progress on climate and clean energy. We
can't let that happen. That's why we're aiming to get 150,000 signatures
on this petition supporting the Clean Air Act by midnight tonight. If we
hit our goal, we'll start delivering your signatures to the Senate first
thing in the morning.

Sign this petition opposing efforts to block Obama's actions on clean
energy.
