Gas prices are off the charts, the situation in the Middle East is unstable, scientists are warning that global warming is at a tipping point, and last month, MoveOn members decided that "clean, sustainable energy" should be one of their key goals.
On Wednesday, June 28th?right before the 4th of July when gas prices will be front and center as folks plan for the long weekend?we're going to be holding rallies at gas stations across America. And we'll expose how your representative is tied to Big Oil.
Since 1990, Big Oil has given more than 0 million to members of Congress and 75% (2,635,314!) of those donations have gone to Republicans.1 That money has guaranteed energy policy that serves the oil industry rather than the public interest.
We can't afford the costs of Congress's addiction to oil money?it keeps gas prices high, keeps us dependent on the Middle East and prevents progress on energy independence. Until we stop politicians from taking that money, it'll be hard to stop global warming and move into a clean-energy future.
