Dear Craig,
|
Ever wonder why we give $35 billion of our tax dollars to oil companies?
Follow the money.
This year alone, Big Oil companies like BP and ExxonMobil gave over $11 million to candidates for Congress and a staggering $8 million to sitting members. In fact, Big Oil has given an average of $34,647 to each U.S. senator.1 VA Sen Mark Warner has received $25,650 and VA Sen Jim Webb has received $81,650. Click the link below to see who is buying your senator and let them know what you think.
And, like clockwork, the Senate voted in favor of those $35 billion in tax breaks and subsidies to Big Oil, even during the world's most disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. They sided with Big Oil, not with the voters. They took the money and ran.2
We're tired of the greasy, dirty politics of Washington. It's time to clean up the Senate.
We've launched an effort to stop the subsidies. Already more than 65,000 of you have signed our Stop the Big Oil Bailout petition. Now we're asking you to help clean up by focusing on your own senators.
This issue isn't about party politics. Democrats and Republicans take money from Big Oil. Over her career, Senator Mary Landrieu (D-La.) has taken more than $666,000. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) has taken more than $740,000 since he got to the Senate.
This is about the right kind of public policies being hijacked by rich corporations like BP and ExxonMobil.
If we want to stop polluting good policy with dirty money, we need to first stop the Big Oil Bailout. You can help by seeing how much your senators have taken from oil companies and spreading the word.
