Join CCAN's Virtual Night of Action to STOP Manchin's Dirty Deal!
From the Appeal of Grace Tuttle, Protect Our Water—Heritage—Rights, December 7, 2022
Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, released the full text of the Building American Energy Security Act of 2022. He also urged his colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support amending the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to include this comprehensive, bipartisan permitting reform and complete the critical Mountain Valley Pipeline.
“Failing to pass the bipartisan, comprehensive energy permitting reform that our country desperately needs is not an acceptable option. As our energy security becomes more threatened every day, Americans are demanding Congress put politics aside and act on commonsense solutions to solve the issues facing us. The Senate must vote to amend the NDAA to ensure the comprehensive, bipartisan permitting reform our country desperately needs is included,” said Chairman Manchin.

Description: Join CCAN’s Virtual Night of Action to STOP Manchin’s Dirty Deal!
It’s time. Our senators need to hear from us. We will not stand for Manchin’s dirty deal. We can’t make policy with backroom negotiations that exclude impacted communities. We can’t keep feeding our addiction to fossil fuels.
Our goal is to get 150 residents to email their senator in one night to stop the dirty deal.
6:00-6:15 Latest policy update, Q&A
6:15-6:30 Outreach to personal VA friends and family

P.S. The members of the US Congress need to hear from you. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) is trying to include his Dirty Deal – to roll back bedrock environmental protections and force the construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline – in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). We can only block this if enough Senators stand up and promise to vote against the NDAA if it includes the Dirty Deal.

Senator Kaine (202) 224-4024

Hi All. The CPC voted to oppose adding the dirty deal on the NDAA! Huge thanks to all who’ve been lobbying them for months!
After we succeeded in keeping the dirty deal off the base text for the NDAA that the House is likely to send to the Senate, Manchin dropped the latest version of his dirty deal. It’s largely the same as the last, except it’s even more fossil-fuel friendly.
It tightens deadlines for environmental review and ensures even more of the priority projects to be expedited are fossil fuels. Changes from the last version are outlined here:

Manchin is now trying to get the dirty deal amended onto the NDAA when it comes to the Senate.
So, we’re driving calls to Senators. The best thing folks can do is call their senators and ask their networks to call their senators. Everyone has to call twice to get both senators. If helpful, you can use and share the following phone number and script:
…………………… (888) 997 – 5380
“Hi, my name is ___, and I’m a constituent. I’m urging my senator to vote NO on any amendment that would advance Senator Manchin’s dirty permitting deal. I’m deeply concerned about any legislation that fast-tracks fossil fuels & weakens environmental justice protections.”
Please also call Senator Schumer. His DC number is (202) 224 – 6542. Ask him to stop supporting the dirty deal!
