Tell Congress: Reject Any Budget That Attacks the EPA

President Trump’s proposed budget demands the EPA’s funds be drastically cut. But the EPA’s budget is already about as low as it can get—it accounts for just 0.22% of the federal budget. The proposed cuts are so outrageous that members of the President’s own party are speaking out.

“There’s not that much in the EPA [budget] for crying out loud,” said Mike Simpson (R-ID), the chairman of the House Energy and Water Appropriations Committee. “EPA has been cut by over 20 percent in the last few years. The discretionary budget has been lowered pretty dramatically compared to how it was in 2009, and it’s under what Paul Ryan thought it would be in his budget,” explained Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK).

We need to keep stoking this opposition on both sides of the aisle—because too much is at risk. Tell your members of Congress to protect the EPA.
