Dear Friend ,

Sign the Petition: Protect Our Health, Not Polluters

Did you hear that Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette -- acting in your name and on behalf of our entire state -- just joined a lawsuit to let big polluters dump millions of tons of arsenic, mercury and other life-threatening toxics into the air we breathe?

With 225,000 Michigan children already suffering from asthma, there is no excuse to make it harder for them to breathe.¹

That's why we're letting Michigan’s leaders know that when it comes to the air we all breathe, we're counting on them to stand up for public health.

Please sign our urgent petition today, and we'll hand-deliver your message to Attorney General Schuette and U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow in Lansing this Thursday.

Sign the petition to Michigan's leaders telling them to protect our families and children from life-threatening air pollution.

The Attorney General's decision is reckless -- after years of hearings, studies and public comments, there is no reason to delay. According to the EPA, blocking these clean air protections would have devastating health consequences across the nation, including 17,000 premature deaths and 120,000 cases of childhood asthma symptoms -- the numbers are staggering!²

Let's tell Michigan's leaders that acting in our name means protecting public health, not attacking it.

It's time for Michigan’s leaders to do their job: Protect our children, our families, and the health of generations to come -- not the profits of big polluters.

Thanks for helping stand up for Michigan families,
