Fighting to save the Clean Air Act
Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) has teamed up with Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) to stop the Obama administration from using the Clean Air Act to reduce global warming pollution. Friends of the Earth has joined with CREDO Action to put up a billboard holding Sen. Lincoln accountable for her support of the proposed rollback. Thanks to the 20,000 people around the country who voted for their favorite billboard design, we're placing the winning billboard in the heart of Little Rock to make sure Sen. Lincoln gets the message loud and clear.
