IF YOU ARE SURPRISED THE DRUMPF / TRUMP-PENCE ADMINISTRATION IS OPENING UP THE COUNTRY TO RAPE AND PILLAGING BY CORPORATE AMERICA YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS. And guess who will not only pay for executive order looting spree? BOHICA*, just look in the mirror because the American taxpayers loose as our natural resources are sold at below market prices and then loose more as corporate America will get tax breaks to cover the cost of their raping and pillaging of the nation. And then BOHICA again because executive orders gutting the environmental and consumer protection laws and regulations means corporate America can pollute and contaminate our air, water, food, medicines, and we will have to pay for addressing any damage done to our families, homes, pets, livestock and property. PLEASE take part in this letter campaign objecting to the administration's plans from the NRDC to (NOT MY) pres drumpf / trump as well as  Council on Environmental Quality Chair Mary B. Neumayr, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler, and Interior Department Secretary David Bernhardt. Tell them America is not theirs to give away and assure them their ill gotten gains will be short lived after we VOTE THE DRUMPF / TRUMP-PENCE ADMINISTRATION AND THE GOP / GREED OVER PEOPLE-REPUBLICAN PARTY OUT OF POWER ON TUESDAY, 3 NOVEMBER 2020!

Don't Let Trump Abuse His Emergency Powers to Expedite Oil & Gas Projects President Trump is using the national emergencies as an excuse to push through disastrous polluter projects without environmental review or public input. Help stop him.  TAKE ACTION  Americans are crying out for leadership to confront racial violence against Black people and stop the spread of a deadly pandemic. But instead of easing the pain of a nation in crisis, President Trump is focused on easing the pain of polluters. Under the guise of an "economic emergency," Trump recently signed an unprecedented executive order that will allow the administration to ram through polluting projects like pipelines and power plants without adequate environmental reviews — all to help his big polluter allies. This disastrous move will wreak havoc on our environment and public health, further derail our climate progress, and disproportionately harm communities of color. It's an utterly senseless abuse of emergency power and it will NOT stimulate our economy, despite Trump's claims. NRDC is doing everything in our power to fight this pro-polluter giveaway and we need you standing with us. Please submit an urgent letter of opposition to the White House right away: Let Trump and his cabinet cronies know that you see straight through their pro-polluter scheme and urge them to reverse course at once. Trump's directive will allow industrial polluters to bypass the review requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), a bedrock environmental law that ensures a robust environmental review of federal projects, and that gives a voice to communities who are impacted by them. And this comes after the Trump administration has already taken steps to gut NEPA. Keystone XL... Pebble Mine... fracking on the borders of Chaco Culture National Historical Park... uranium mining in the Grand Canyon... These are just a few of the catastrophic projects that could be fast-tracked with practically no public notice or environmental review under Trump's order. Plus, NEPA is one of the few tools communities of color have to protect themselves against federal projects that disproportionately affect them. This callous rollback will hit those who live closest to polluting facilities and highways the hardest — in many of the same communities already suffering the most from the national emergencies at hand. Trump's order also weakens standard environmental review requirements under the Endangered Species Act and Clean Water Act — which could have catastrophic consequences for wildlife already on the brink and put our drinking water at risk. Act now: Let the Trump administration know that you see what they're doing and won't let it stand. The move is just the latest by the Trump administration to permanently halt critical protections during the COVID-19 pandemic: In April, the EPA began allowing polluters to use COVID-19 as an excuse to stop monitoring and reporting on their pollution, which NRDC is now fighting in court In May, Trump instructed agencies to roll back or stop enforcing a wide range of public health and environmental safeguards And in June, EPA finalized a rule that will gut critical elements of the Clean Water Act and make it much more difficult for Indigenous groups, states, and the public to fight back against polluting projects like pipelines Now, Trump is using the thoroughly debunked notion that weakening environmental laws leads to economic recovery as a smokescreen to push through projects for his pals in the oil and gas industry without the public's input. But the evidence is overwhelming: Cutting environmental protection isn't going to speed up economic recovery. If anything, it will slow economic growth while harming communities, ecosystems, the atmosphere, and public health. Enough is enough. Help us generate an overwhelming surge of opposition by submitting a letter of complaint to the White House right away. Thanks for standing with us at this critical moment. Sincerely,   Kabir Green Director of Federal Affairs, NRDC

The mission of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is to safeguard the Earth: its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends. * BOHICA - Bend Over, Here It Comes Again! MY LETTERDear President Trump and cabinet officials: In the midst of a global health crisis, economic crisis, and national protests over racial violence against Black people, your administration has prioritized rolling back environmental protections over protecting people. I oppose your administration’s executive order that will allow industry polluters to sidestep environmental reviews – effectively allowing environmentally ruinous projects like pipelines and power plants to be fast-tracked without review, public input, or accountability for the impacts. This order is callous, senseless, and will do nothing to stimulate the economy. Instead, it will have a disproportionate and harmful impact on the same communities who are already suffering the most from the national emergencies at hand. This executive order will harm our environment and public health, and further undermine efforts to fight climate change. And it will undermine democratic participation in decision making. Rest assured, once the drumpf / trump-pence administration and the gop / greed over people-republican party are voted out of power we, the people, will come after you in the courts to make you pay for the harm you inflicted on us and our nation. I urge you to reverse course on this disastrous executive order.
