VoteVets wants EPA to preserve Renewable Fuel Standard

VoteVets

Here's the letter we're submitting the Environmental Protection Agency to stop the big oil giveaway currently being considered by the agency.

Read it, and co-sign the letter before we submit it. You can do that here: LINK

To: Environmental Protection Agency
Docket ID Number: EPA-HQ-OAR-2015-0111

Please preserve a strong Renewable Fuel Standard -- one that puts our national security, our environment, and American consumers ahead of the interests of Big Oil.

As veterans, military families, and VoteVets supporters, we know the cost of our dependence on foreign oil. The Renewable Fuel Standard has fostered a homegrown fuel industry that lessens our dependence on oil -- the rising prices of which pay for weapons used against our men and women in uniform.

More than that, investing in cheaper, cleaner-burning renewable fuels has strengthened our economy -- creating new jobs inside our borders, and saving Americans money with every fill-up.

Don't allow oil industry lobbyists to put their interests ahead of the nation's. Save the Renewable Fuel Standard, and keep our country on the road to a transportation future that depends less on the Middle East, and more on the Midwest.

Thank you,
