Big Oil launches false, misleading radio ads

Yesterday, the American Energy Alliance – a front group for Big Oil run by an oil industry lobbyist – launched a false and misleading radio ad in Rep. Ross’s district.

The ad cites an M.I.T. study to back up the claim that shifting U.S. energy production to clean energy sources will impose a $3,100 "energy tax," but the author of that study says that statistic is "just wrong."

In fact, a recent Environmental Protection Agency analysis of the American Clean Energy & Security Act draft legislation says families will save money!

This oil company front group wants to prevent us from building a new clean energy economy. They want to continue the failed energy policies of the past, which means that Big Oil companies get billions in tax breaks, while America falls further behind as other countries develop the clean energy technologies of the future.

Call Rep. Ross at (202) 225-3772. Tell him to say "No" to Big Oil by supporting the American Clean Energy & Security Act.

Building an American clean energy economy

Arkansas's 4th Overhelming in Support of Climate Change Legislation

The folks at Rep. Ross's office posted an online poll on his official website this week asking constituents if they "support climate change legislation to reduce carbon dioxide emissions."

The results are in and they are astounding: a whopping 95.45%(!) answered "yes". Clearly there is a consensus from the citizens that Rep. Ross represents that they support a plan to create jobs, fix our economy and protect our planet.

Although voting is closed on Rep. Ross's website, you can still call him at (202) 225-3772 and let him know that passing global warming legislation is a priority for you.

Make our energy clean, make it in America

Hearings begin today

Today the Energy & Commerce Committee in the U.S. House begins hearings on the American Clean Energy & Security Act. The legislation will usher in a new era of clean energy production in the U.S. – creating millions of new clean energy jobs, limiting the pollution that causes global warming and reducing America’s dependence on foreign oil.

As a member of Energy & the Environment Subcommittee, Rep. Ross has an opportunity to significantly influence and shape this legislation. Yet greedy corporate polluters are waging an aggressive campaign to weaken the bill and keep America dependent on the failed energy policies of the past – allowing other countries to take advantage of the growing clean energy industries while America’s economy continues to struggle.

Call Rep. Ross at (202) 225-3772. Tell him to support the American Clean Energy & Security Act.
