Take Action: Keep Anti-Environmental Riders out of Tax Cut Bills
Republican leadership in the House of Representatives is attempting to force anti-environmental riders onto a critical package to extend the payroll tax cut, jobless benefits and the Medicare reimbursement formula before the end of the year. These riders would cause severe damage to our land, air, water, wildlife, and the health of the American people. Contact your representative today to urge them to pass a clean tax bill! |

Grassroots Activism: Major Coal Victory
The Sierra Club is celebrating a landmark victory that was a long time coming. We have reached a settlement with LS Power to cancel their plans to build two new coal plants - the Longleaf plant in Georgia, and the Plum Point 2 plant in Arkansas. These are two more nails in the coffin of a rush to build new coal plants that we have fought for a decade, and that is now coming to an end, with only a handful of proposed coal projects hanging on by a thread around the country. Congratulations to all the local activists and organizers who worked so hard to win these hard-fought victories! |
