Dear NRDC Action Fund Supporter,
     I recently sent you an email about our do-or-die out campaign to defeat President Bush's Dirty Skies bill, which is nearing a critical vote in the Senate Environment Committee.
     Because your own Senator Obama is a member of that committee, you have an especially important role to play in this fight for clean air. Right now, the Environment Committee is deadlocked over this dangerous legislation. That means your senator's vote could decide its fate.
     Make sure Senator Obama knows where you stand! If you haven't done so already, please go to http://www.nrdcactionfund.org/cleanair/action.asp?step=2&item=52456 right now and send a message telling both your senators you oppose the president's so-called Clear Skies bill (S. 131).
     Compared to enforcing the current law, this bill would force Americans to suffer 100,000 additional early deaths, two million additional asthma attacks and tens of billions of dollars in annual health costs -- all so that big polluters and the president's corporate campaign contributors can evade their responsibilities.
     Help us break their stranglehold on Congress and our right to clean air! Go to http://www.nrdcactionfund.org/cleanair/action.asp?step=2&item=52456 and tell your senators to vote NO on S. 131. Thank you.


Sincerely,
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
NRDC Action Fund
