In the first few days of
2018, Trump's Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke announced a huge belated holiday
gift to Big Oil: an unbelievably reckless plan to open up nearly all federal
waters to oil and gas drilling. Then, just five days later, Zinke made another
announcement (on Twitter, following in his boss's footsteps): Florida, and only
Florida, would be spared. The fact that even Florida’s conservative climate-denier
governor wanted no part of Trump’s offshore drilling plan highlights just how
dangerous this proposal is.
We need to keep this
oil in the ground and stop building new fossil fuel projects that lock us into
a dangerous, fossil-fueled future. Click on the statement below.
The Dreamers Act and CHIP, the Children’s
Health Insurance Program, await action by Congress. It appears that
Congress will kick the budget can down the road again, putting these programs
in peril. Continue the pressure on your congressional representative to
act.
A thought to ponder
from Daniel Berrigan: “And then there is the question of prayer, which consists
for the most part insisting that God do for us what we are unwilling to do for
one another. Resolve: Let's do for one another what we would have God do for
all. This is known as God-like activity."
