Letter to the editor

Dear Editor,

I am writing to urge elected officials to do everything in their power to protect everyday people in our community.

The upcoming budget bill moving through Congress is a fight over our country’s values and priorities. We must: 

• Protect climate and clean energy policies and initiatives that will lower our energy costs, cut climate pollution, and creating good jobs nationwide. 
• Stop the present administration from selling off our public lands to the highest bidder and opening up the Arctic Refuge and other Wildlife Management Areas for oil & gas drilling and protect our inland waterways from Fracking.
• Block cuts to vital government programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

I support climate action, clean air and water, and protecting our public lands. We need the government to protect people over corporate polluters and greedy public land speculators. That’s why I’m urging my representatives to do more to fight for us.
