It’s time for EPA to do its job. Urge Congress to send Pruitt packing.Dear PAOV,
Day after day, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt is making decisions that ignore science and threaten the health of families across the country — while benefiting big corporations.
Enough is enough. EPA is tasked with protecting human health and the environment — not serving the interests of polluters and their lobbyists.
We need EPA to do its job. It’s time for Congress to call for the firing of Administrator Pruitt.
Here are just two stand-out examples:
- Pruitt recently announced his intention to restrict the use of independent, non-industry science in agency decisionmaking, a move that former EPA leader Gina McCarthy warns could mean an "unraveling of public health protections."
- One year ago last week, Pruitt’s about-face on the planned ban of chlorpyrifos came just weeks after a private meeting with Dow executives. His reversal means millions of children, farmworkers and rural families continue to exposed to this brain-harming pesticide.
Meanwhile, Pruitt has been living in a luxury condo owned by an oil industry lobbyist and traveling first class on the taxpayer's dime.
All of this is simply unacceptable. Urge Congress to support the ousting of Administrator Pruitt!
It seems Administrator Pruitt has forgotten that the EPA works for us — not corporations like Dow and Monsanto. Congress can and must ensure this public agency actually serves the public, rather than bowing to corporate interests. This means Pruitt must go.
Take action today. We’ll deliver your message to every committee member in Congress responsible for EPA oversight.
Thanks for all you do.
