Standing Up Against the Oil Lobby, in California and BeyondPosted: October 12, 2010 05:36 PM
<snip>
The attacks on the Clean Air Act aren't over and the oil lobby's reach is spreading. As we speak, Texas oil companies are waging a war against clean energy in California. Paid for by the same corporate polluters who funded the climate denial movement, industry giants like Valero, Tesoro and the Koch brothers are working to overturn California's clean energy law with a ballot initiative called Proposition 23.
I am going to do everything I can to fight to keep our nation on the path to a future with clean energy jobs and safe air to breathe. That's why protecting critical federal laws like the Clean Air Act and state climate change laws are top priorities for me.
America's clean energy future is at stake. The consequences of doing nothing and losing this fight are clear. We all watched in horror as the worst environmental disaster in American history devastated the Gulf Coast this year. Our continued reliance on oil and dirty fossil fuels means we can expect more of the same.

You and I both know now is the time to redouble our efforts. Every time the oil industry tries to pollute our air and water, we want to be there to stop them: whether it's in California, in the U.S. Senate or in your hometown. But we can't do it without your help. We're standing on the precipice of a cleaner, brighter future for our families and we can't turn back now.
