Hi all—

Please use this social guidance to amplify a Bloomberg article reporting that the CEQ General Counsel’s husband has been lobbying CEQ for NEPA rollbacks on behalf of the American Chemistry Council. Use the sample posts below to call attention to this conflict of interest and the close access industry has to CEQ—all while the public has limited opportunities to make their voices heard.

• NOT BUYING IT: @whceq claims that their general counsel is impartial, but her husband is a @AmChemistry lobbyist campaigning against the National Environmental Policy Act. CEQ must #ProtectYourVoice, not sell you out for private profit. https://bit.ly/2Vshk5h

• CONFLICT OF INTEREST: @environment reports that @AmChemistry lobbyist & husband of @whceq general counsel has pushed for National Environmental Policy Act rollbacks like those proposed by CEQ. Now is the time to #ProtectYourVoice and fight to #SaveNEPA https://bit.ly/2Vshk5h

• Drain the swamp? As CEQ moves to gut the National Environmental Policy Act, @environment reports that @whceq general counsel is married to a @AmChemistry lobbyist who has campaigned for these rollbacks on behalf of corporate polluters #ProtectYourVoice https://bit.ly/2Vshk5h

• .@Earthjustice said it best: It is "absolutely laughable that this administration thinks it can claim CEQ’s general counsel isn’t serving the whims of polluters when she’s married to a polluter lobbyist.” #ProtectYourVoice while there is still time! https://bit.ly/2Vshk5h

• WE NEED ANSWERS: @whceq plans to gut the National Environmental Policy Act, which they claim has nothing to do with the anti-NEPA campaign led by the @AmChemistry lobbyist married to CEQ's general counsel. CEQ must #ProtectYourVoice not special interests. https://bit.ly/2Vshk5h
