Issues: Mining Legislation
Go to www.actformining.org to take further action! Tell Congress to Support the "Energy Tax Prevention Act of 2011"The House of Representatives will vote tomorrow on the "Energy Tax Prevention Act of 2011", a bill designed to protect America's economic growth and stop the EPA from unilaterally imposing greenhouse gas regulations on America's energy and manufacturing industries. This bipartisan legislation is vital to our nation's economic growth - with 14 million Americans out of work, we can't risk pursuing EPA's cap & trade agenda that could send millions of jobs overseas, increase utility bills for families and businesses across the country, and threaten the job of thousands of American's working in the mining industry. We urge you to take action today! The bill has already passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee and now heads to the House floor where it will be voted on by your Member of Congress as early as tomorrow. Unless Congress intervenes, the EPA's efforts to impose a cap-and-trade agenda threaten to drive gas prices even higher, increase utility rates, send manufacturing jobs overseas, and hamstring our economic recovery."
