Don't Weaken Clean Air
Act
In March, the Senate is expected
to consider a resolution that would overturn EPA's 2009 finding that
greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health and welfare. The
finding is a necessary step to limiting emissions from motor vehicles
and other sources through the Clean Air Act.
The disapproval resolution is counterproductive and premature. It puts
the cart before the horse. Congress should pass legislation limiting
greenhouse gas emissions. EPA's proper role in setting emissions
standards should be considered in the context of that
legislation, not before.
Please contact your senators. Ask them to vote against the disapproval
resolution and to pass balanced, bipartisan climate and energy
legislation.

"Republicans
for
Environmental Protection represents the very best of the Republican
Party. It's pragmatic. It advocates policies that are good in their own
right. It represents the mainstream of Republican thought. I encourage
all conservation-minded Republicans to join me in supporting REP's
work." —
Theodore Roosevelt IV, Lifetime Member
"I
applaud the
terrific
work you are doing to restore the Republican Party's conservation
tradition and advance responsible environmental policies. Our country
has made the most progress in protecting our environment when
Republicans have been strong leaders, and we need that leadership now
more than ever. I fully support your organization's critically
important mission." —
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
