Hi all,

 

Senator Whitehouse sent letters to five Big Oil companies today on CARES Act tax bailouts. The targets are Marathon, Exxon, Conoco, Denbury and Koch.

 

So far, the biggest single injection of COVID money for polluters has been the CARES tax breaks that went mostly unnoticed. Any help supporting Sen. Whitehouse’s release would be hugely helpful.

 

 

  1. 121K Americans have died of #COVID19. 2M are sick. 40M have lost their jobs. Instead of helping everyday Americans, Trump's admin is throwing $2 billion tax dollars to bail out Big Oil. Thank you @SenWhitehouse for holding this administration accountable. https://www.whitehouse.senate.gov/news/release/whitehouse-presses-oil-corporations-on-lobbying-for-coronavirus-giveaway-worth-billions-to-industry
  2. "When Congress passed the CARES Act in March, our intent was to respond to the immediate healthcare & economic needs of Americans. It was not to provide big corporations with large windfalls from tax loopholes." @SenWhitehouse #NoBigOilBailout https://www.whitehouse.senate.gov/news/release/whitehouse-presses-oil-corporations-on-lobbying-for-coronavirus-giveaway-worth-billions-to-industry
  3. Thank you @SenWhitehouse for calling attention to this administration's blatant exploitation of a global pandemic. Big Oil companies have been flailing long before coronavirus — and now taxpayers are on the hook to bail them out. https://www.whitehouse.senate.gov/news/release/whitehouse-presses-oil-corporations-on-lobbying-for-coronavirus-giveaway-worth-billions-to-industry
