Take Action: Tell Your Rep to Take Climate Action
Take Action: Don't Let the Senate Obstruct Our Progress The ridiculous obstruction in the Senate is affecting not just the prospects for new legislation, but also the effectiveness of hundreds of laws that are already in place. A handful of reckless Senators are blocking the appointment of dozens of highly qualified nominees -- tapped by President Obama to lead everything from the Environmental Protection Agency to the National Labor Relations Board to courthouses across the country -- preventing them from doing the jobs they were appointed to do. Tell your Senators to confirm the President's nominees and stop the obstruction. Take Action: Don't Frack Our National Forests! Last year, the Forest Service made an important decision when it proposed keeping dangerous and dirty oil and gas horizontal drilling and fracking out of the George Washington National Forest in Virginia and West Virginia. This unique and beautiful forest supplies critical wildlife habitats, as well as recreation opportunities and clean drinking water for millions of residents and visitors annually. The oil and gas industry is now pressuring the Obama administration to allow fracking in this forest. Tell the Forest Service to prohibit horizontal fracking in the George Washington National Forest.
