Urgent! The Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources Needs Your Phone Call … Now! They are planning to schedule hearings that would install Nominees at the Federal Energy DON’T BE Regulatory Commission FRACKIN’ (FERC). CRAZY! FERC is notorious for abusing its legal authority and peoples’ rights. e.g. FERC routinely strips people of their legal right to challenge pipeline projects until it is too late – until property rights have been stripped, forests cut, and people are forced to live next to explosive fracked gas pipelines and compressors.

Right Now, FERC Can't Approve Any Fracked Gas Pipelines or LNG Export Facilities Because they Don’t have the Legal Quorum Necessary to Cast Binding Votes. ….. We need to keep it that way.

And we certainly don't want the Senate to install a Donald Trump appointee, with a 5 year term, who will be expected to be loyal to a President with unknown business ties to nations and companies around the world.

Remember – this is not a political issue – this is a people issue. Don't’ let anyone suggest to you otherwise.

Call Your Two Senators & Then 3 Members of the Senate Committee

Simply Say:

1. I am calling to urge the Senator to oppose hearings on the President’s nominations for the vacant FERC Commissioner Seats. 2. Instead I want the Senator to make it his/her/their top priority to hold hearings into the abuses of power and law being experienced by communities across this nation at the hands of FERC and to identify needed reforms. 3. Without hearings and reforms FERC will continue to abuse its power and the health, safety and welfare of all decent people here in America. 4. Installing Commissioners advanced by a President with business interests around the world that conflict with good decisionmaking and energy policy here in the U.S., particularly one that demands loyalty to himself from his agency heads, is a serious national security risk.
