Lucas, elected officials should represent us, the people who vote them into office. Yet too many politicians seem to take their orders from the fossil fuel industry.
It’s no coincidence that politicians who take large donations from oil companies and PACs are most likely to disappoint on critical issues like climate change, clean air, and clean water.
Sign this petition to tell your lawmakers: You represent the people, not Big Oil.
Lawmakers show their loyalty to their biggest donors. More and more we are seeing that politicians backed by huge oil companies and secretive PACs consistently let us down. They stand in the way of important climate legislation and block clean air and water proposals from ever getting a vote.
Join us, and a dozen partner organizations, in calling on our lawmakers to prioritize people over oil profits. Our representatives need to stop taking oil money, stop taking oil-funded trips, and most importantly, fight for good environmental legislation when it counts.
Sign this petition to tell your lawmakers: Stop taking money from oil companies!
We choose our representatives to stand up for our communities and fight for our families. We pay the price when they choose to protect oil companies and huge polluters instead of us. It’s time we all took a stand against the corrupting influence of oil money in politics.
Keep fighting,
Irna Landrum, Daily Kos
