081725 Tell Congress: Stop Selling Out to Big Oil
Republican lawmakers who voted for Trump's devastating "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" have pocketed over $105 million in political donations from the fossil fuel industry—and now we're all paying the price.
Here's the corruption:
$105+ million in oil donations bought anti-environment votes
Billions in taxpayer giveaways to oil companies in return
What did oil companies get for their money? Lowered royalty rates so they pay less to drill on public lands, massive tax exemptions that let many oil drillers avoid corporate taxes entirely, and increased carbon capture subsidies—but only if the carbon is used to extract more oil and gas. Meanwhile, your energy costs are expected to rise by $280 per year.
We cannot allow Congress to auction off our environment to the highest bidder.
In solidarity,
