Take Action: Be Your Governor's Best Supporting Actor!

Be Your Governor's Best Supporting Actor!

Urge your Governor to stand up for states' rights to fight global warming!

Thirteen states, representing over a third of the U.S. auto market, have adopted clean car standards to reduce global warming pollution from vehicles. But Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Stephen Johnson rejected the advice of his staff, directives of two federal judges, and the Supreme Court, and denied the waiver states need to implement these crucial standards.

On January 2, California filed a lawsuit to compel the EPA to grant the waiver. Eighteen other states have already joined this lawsuit, including six states that have yet to commit to the clean car standards. Please ask your Governor to do everything in her or his power to support this effort to protect states' legal rights under the Clean Air Act.

Dear [Decision Maker],

(Edit Letter Below)

As established by the Supreme Court, and recently reinforced by two federal judges, states have the legal right under the Clean Air Act to protect the health and well-being of their citizens by curbing global warming pollution from vehicles.

Yet Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Stephen Johnson rejected the waiver that states need to move forward with their clean car standards. A waiver of this sort has never been rejected since states gained this opportunity in 1967. California and 18 other states, including several that have yet to commit to the clean car standards, have sued the EPA to reverse this decision.

It is imperative that you defend the right of our states' ability to protect the health and well-being of our citizens as expressly permitted under federal law. I therefore ask that you take all legal steps possible to support the lawsuit as it progresses, and use your administrative authority to support the clean cars standards in order to reverse this dangerous attack on state authority.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
