Urge Congress to keep laws that protect taxpayers and wildlife

Current oil and gas laws protect taxpayers and wildlife by ensuring that oil and gas companies pay appropriate fees for drilling on public lands and help safeguard crucial habitat.

Tell your senators not to mess with the oil and gas laws that prioritize wildlife and taxpayers instead of the oil and gas industry.

Dear Senator {user_data~US Sen 1 Last name} and Senator {user_data~US Sen 2 Last Name},

As you know, current oil and gas laws promote fairness to taxpayers by charging fair market-prices for oil and gas companies to drill on federal public lands. The fees and royalties help bring much-needed money into federal coffers. The laws also ensure that local communities have a say in how lands are managed and that oil and gas leases are only issued for lands where there is a high potential of finding oil and gas. All of these laws helped restore good governance practices to the oil and gas leasing system.

Unfortunately, the current version of the reconciliation bill reverses these popular, common- sense laws. That reversal essentially prioritizes the oil and gas industry over America’s taxpayers.

Recent polling has confirmed that voters are overwhelmingly opposed to reversing these laws. Please don’t give the oil and gas industry a subsidy by lowering the royalties and fees that oil and gas companies pay for the privilege to drill on our public lands.

I urge you to support wildlife – and American taxpayers – by rejecting any effort to overturn the oil and gas laws. Those laws ensure that taxpayers get a fair return, wildlife are safeguarded, and our public lands are managed so they thrive for generations to come. Thank you.

Sincerely,
