Tell Congress: Pass the transportation bill without Keystone or coal ash!

Big Oil, Big Coal, and their Congressional allies are doing everything they can to load up the transportation bill with toxic environmental riders on Keystone XL, coal ash, and gutting our nation's environmental review process. It's up to us to stop them.

We need a transportation bill -- but not one that puts private profit ahead of public health. Email your members of Congress today, and then tell us how it went!

which, when it is signed and the details are revealed, will gut our nation's environmental review process and give Big Oil and Big Coal exactly what they want. It has been described as NAFTA on steroids.

Naturally, Rmoney will not be elected, but if he were, he would sign the pending "free-trade" agreement. He will not be. But the signing is inevitable.
