As the representative to the Minnesota Environmental Partnership for MOU, I, on occasion, am asked to send a message to the members of MOU. I encourage you to act positively on this request.
Tom Bell Grey Cloud Island 5868 Pioneer Rd. S. St. Paul Park, MN 55071 651 459-4150 > Dear Tom, > > I am writing to urge your organization’s participation in a new campaign to > show our support for the work Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does to > protect our environment. We only have a couple more weeks to gather > signatures for the “Valentine” we’ll deliver to Congress, the White House and > the EPA on Feb. 14. > > The EPA's mission is to protect human health and to safeguard the natural > environment — air, water, and land — upon which life depends. In Minnesota, > the EPA is involved in issues ranging from air pollution to protecting clean > water from poorly conceived mining projects. Elsewhere in the country, the > EPA recently revoked a pollution permit for the largest mountaintop removal > coal mine in West Virginia, and the agency is diligently pursuing new > greenhouse gas emission standards. > > I am sure you can think of several ways in which the EPA has been > instrumental in your organization’s work. > > Yet, the Obama administration is receiving intense pressure to rein in the > EPA. Many members of Congress are attacking the agency’s ability to do its > job and threatening the strength of the protections it seeks to uphold. > > To show our elected officials how much we value the EPA’s role in keeping our > nation’s water and air clean and healthy we need to join together and > publicly show our support. It is imperative that the EPA is allowed to > continue its effective work. > > Please join the campaign: “Send the EPA a Valentine.” Ask your members and > supporters to visit www.WeHeartEPA.org to sign a Valentine stating, “We love > the EPA’s role in protecting our water, air and health.” We want this > campaign shared across the state and across the country. > > Sincerely, > > Betsy Daub > Policy Director > Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness > > PS.
