Tell Congress To Support Polluter-Pays Law
Please take a moment to ask your U.S. Representative to help protect public health and
make polluters, not taxpayers, pay to clean up Superfund toxic waste sites. Send them
an e-mail asking for their support for H.R. 1887, a bill that would reauthorize
Superfund’s polluter fees.
Petition text:
Dear Representative, I am writing to ask that you support efforts to protect public
health by increasing funding for the federal Superfund toxic waste
cleanup program. Since the polluter pays fees expired in 1995, funding
levels for Superfund cleanups have declined by $400 million, while the
annual financial burden on American taxpayers has increased by 427%.
The
Superfund must be returned to financial stability and polluters, not
taxpayers, should pay to clean up toxic sites. For these reasons, I am
writing to ask that you cosponsor H.R. 1887, a bill that would
reauthorize Superfund’s polluter fees. Sincerely,
|
