[[link removed]]John,

Last week, the Environmental Protection Agency abruptly decided to stop
enforcing mandated public health and environmental protections.

That’s right, the federal agency tasked with protecting our public health and
the environment has given many industries a green light to pollute our air,
land, and water—the agency will not issue fines for violations of certain water,
air, and hazardous-waste-reporting requirements.

This is dangerous for every living being.

Tell the Environmental Protection Agency that now is the wrong time to stop
enforcing our vital public health and environmental protections.

I WILL SPEAK OUT TO SAVE OUR VITAL PROTECTIONS

Industries such as petroleum refineries that are a major source of hazardous and
toxic air pollutants are regulated by environmental laws. Severe and immediate risks from failing to enforce these laws is an assault on
the safety of people and wildlife alike and an absolute abdication of the legal
responsibilities of the Environmental Protection Agency.

We cannot allow the Environmental Protection Agency to excuse the potential
release of excess toxic air pollutants and other pollution that exacerbate
asthma, breathing difficulty, and cardiovascular problems.

John, please join us in saying NO to
stopping the enforcement of laws that protect our environment.

If the EPA stops enforcing Clean Water Act safeguards—or associated monitoring
and reporting requirements—the health of our rivers and streams will be in great
jeopardy. This decision could let industries stop monitoring, reporting, or
meeting permit conditions when dumping toxic pollutants into the rivers,
wetlands, and streams that we rely on for clean drinking water and healthy
wildlife habitat. The public relies on these reports to know when violations
occur as well.

This is happening at the same time that the administration is working to take us
back to the lowest level of Clean Water Act protections we’ve seen in nearly 50
years and abandoning clean air protections. The decision to simply stop enforcing environmental protection—even
temporarily—could be a slippery slope toward a permanent end to these necessary
measures that safeguard people and wildlife.

Please act now to stop the Environmental Protection Agency from giving
industries open license to pollute.
