Action Alert from Smart Girl Politics re: the McConnell Amendment

We have two chances today for you to take action against the overreach of the EPA. These are time-sensitive issues, so we need to take action TODAY.

First, a vote on the McConnell Amendment is imminent; if passed, this amendment will strip the EPA of the ability to regulate and tax greenhouse gas emissions. We have teamed up with FreedomWorks to identify eight key Senate targets. The following 8 Senators have emerged as priority targets for supporting the McConnell Amendment (Inhofe-Upton legislation) that will stop EPA's backdoor cap and trade scheme. Please go to this link to make your voice heard: http://action.freedomworks.org/4118/dont-let-obama-administration-get-away-with-backdoor-cap-trade
