With Every Breath I Take...

Here is a petition link to sign
for the EPA to give us clean
air in Texas. Despite Rick
Perry's absurd claim, that
Texas should be a Poster Child
for the rest of the nation in
clean air.
Unfortunately, the environ-
mental regulators appointed
by Rick Perry have received
more than 2.3 million from
energy interests in the last
three years.
American Lung Association
gives a grade of F to 21 of
30 biggest counties in the
state for their air quality.

BP & Halliburton Try To Buy Off Government Officials

Investigating Spill
   The Texas take on this:
Perry calls BP spill an " act of God",
at a trade association funded by BP
in May.

About a week before executive
Timothy Probert appeared be-
fore the House Energy & Com-
merce investigative sub-
committee, Halliburton donated
$1, 500 to the ranking Rep.
Joe Barton reelection effort.
Good ol' industry friendly
Smokey Joe. Be sure to read the

EPA to Take Over Parts of Texas Air Permitting

Because it's Illegal and doesn't
adhere to the Clean Air Act

Sierra Club has asked Governor
Perry to clean up our air and
water and he's failed. Last
Tuesday the EPA announced
it will take over parts of the
Texas Air Permitting Program.
Governor Perry had the audacity
to try and stop the EPA. Tell
Governor Perry to get out of
the way, and protect our
health.http://action.sierraclub.org/site/MessageViewer?em_id=179802.0&dlv_id=153965
