There are 4 legislative
days until the government funding deadline.
>>If you say one
thing today — The Trump and [House Republican] #DirtyBudget sells out our kids’ health to enrich wealthy donors by making it easier
for corporate polluters to spew toxic pollution like mercury, lead, and arsenic into our air, drinking water, and neighborhoods.
As the government funding deadline approaches, families are counting on Congress to continue rejecting draconian cuts and harmful attacks by passing a federal budget or a clean continuing resolution that protects our families health and upholds our moral
obligation to protect the great outdoors — our public lands, waters, oceans, and wildlife — for future generations of Americans, not greedy special interests.
