Support the EPA taking actions to protect communities and ecosystems from mountaintop removal mining. Support the EPA using its authority under Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act to protect Bristol Bay from large-scale mining projects like the Pebble Mine.Support for H.R. 1921, the Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act of 2013, which would require disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking fluids and would remove the oil and gas industrys exemption from the Safe Drinking Water Act. Work to strengthen S. 1009, the Chemical Safety Improvement Act, to update the Toxic Substances Control Act to better protect public health and the environment from toxic chemicals. Opposition to H.R. 2641, the Responsibly and Professionally Invigorating Development Act of 2013, which would severely undermine the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and, consequently, the quality and integrity of federal agency decisions. Encourage the EPA and DHS to strengthen risk prevention practices at chemical management facilities to protect public health and safety. Oppose H.R. 3830 and S 1900, The Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities Act, which would revive the outdated and unsound 2002 Fast Track Trade Promotion Authority mechanism, undermining Congress ability to ensure trade agreements do not negatively impact our public health and environment laws and regulations. Support the Ban Poisonous Additives Act of 2014 (S. 2572/H.R. 5033), which bans bisphenol A (BPA) in food packaging and requires the FDA to review the safety of other chemicals in food packaging. Support the Protecting Americas Families from Toxic Chemicals Act of 2014, which directs the EPA to identify and phase out persistent, bioaccumulative toxicant chemicals (PBTs) within five years, and also identifies 22 known PBTs for immediate phase out for non-essential uses. Support the Children and Firefighters Protection Act of 2014, which directs the Consumer Product Safety Commission to ban the top ten most dangerous flame retardants from upholstered furniture and childrens products, and establishes a Chronic Hazard Advisory Panel to research the need for additional future bans.

Support the EPA taking actions to protect communities and ecosystems from mountaintop removal mining. Support the EPA using its authority under Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act to protect Bristol Bay from large-scale mining projects like the Pebble Mine.Support for H.R. 1921, the Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act of 2013, which would require disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking fluids and would remove the oil and gas industrys exemption from the Safe Drinking Water Act. Work to strengthen S. 1009, the Chemical Safety Improvement Act, to update the Toxic Substances Control Act to better protect public health and the environment from toxic chemicals. Opposition to H.R. 2641, the Responsibly and Professionally Invigorating Development Act of 2013, which would severely undermine the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and, consequently, the quality and integrity of federal agency decisions. Encourage the EPA and DHS to strengthen risk prevention practices at chemical management facilities to protect public health and safety. Oppose H.R. 3830 and S 1900, The Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities Act, which would revive the outdated and unsound 2002 Fast Track Trade Promotion Authority mechanism, undermining Congress ability to ensure trade agreements do not negatively impact our public health and environment laws and regulations. Oppose the Chemicals in Commerce Act discussion draft, a TSCA reform proposal that would rollback EPAs current limited authority to regulate dangerous chemicals in commerce while also preempting states from taking actions to protect their citizens from toxic chemicals. Oppose S. 2094, the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act of 2014, which preempts states rights to protect their waters from ship discharges and continues a regulatory scheme that continues to place the economic burden associated with invasive species on taxpayers rather than shifting it to the industry responsible for bringing those species to the nations waters. Oppose efforts to undermine effective marine fishery management by prohibiting the use of federal funds to approve limited access privilege programs (LAPPs), a kind of catch share, along the east coast and in the Gulf of Mexico. Oppose H.R. 935 (Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act of 2013), which would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from protecting water supplies from direct applications of pesticides. Work to remove provisions from S. 2198 and S. 2016 that would undermine Endangered Species Act protections in place in Californias Bay-Delta ecosystem. Support the Ban Poisonous Additives Act of 2014 (S. 2572/H.R. 5033), which bans bisphenol A (BPA) in food packaging and requires the FDA to review the safety of other chemicals in food packaging. Oppose an amendment by Senator Toomey to the Highway Trust Fund legislation, H.R. 5021 This Amendment proposes to completely exempt reconstruction activities from nearly all Federal environmental laws in declared disaster areas, including the National Historic Preservation Act, the Clean Water Act, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Endangered Species Act, the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, and any federal law relating to the protection of wetlands. Support S. 2656, the Protecting Americas Families from Toxic Chemicals Act of 2014, which directs the EPA to identify and phase out persistent, bioaccumulative toxicant chemicals (PBTs) within five years, and also identifies 22 known PBTs for immediate phase out for non-essential uses. Support S. 2811, the Children and Firefighters Protection Act of 2014, which directs the Consumer Product Safety Commission to ban the top ten most dangerous flame retardants from upholstered furniture and childrens products, and establishes a Chronic Hazard Advisory Panel to research the need for additional future bans.

Support the EPA taking actions to protect communities and ecosystems from mountaintop removal mining. Support for the Environmental Protection Agency to use its authority under Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act to protect Bristol Bay from large-scale mining projects like the Pebble Mine.Support for H.R. 1921, the Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act of 2013, which would require disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking fluids and would remove the oil and gas industrys exemption from the Safe Drinking Water Act. Work to strengthen S. 1009, the Chemical Safety Improvement Act, to update the Toxic Substances Control Act to better protect public health and the environment from toxic chemicals. Opposition to H.R. 2641, the Responsibly and Professionally Invigorating Development Act of 2013, which would severely undermine the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and, consequently, the quality and integrity of federal agency decisions. Encourage the EPA to strengthen risk prevention practices at chemical management facilities to protect public health and safety. Opposition to H.Con.Res. 96, Rep. Paul Ryans budget for fiscal year 2015, which slashes funding for core domestic programs including our national parks, our environmental protections, our critical infrastructure as well as energy and health research far below crippling sequestration levels. Oppose H.R. 3830 and S 1900, The Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities Act, which would revive the outdated and unsound 2002 Fast Track Trade Promotion Authority mechanism, undermining Congress ability to ensure trade agreements do not negatively impact our public health and environment laws and regulations. Oppose the Chemicals in Commerce Act discussion draft, a TSCA reform proposal that would rollback EPAs current limited authority to regulate dangerous chemicals in commerce while also preempting states from taking actions to protect their citizens from toxic chemicals. Oppose the Strengthening Fishing Communities and Increasing Flexibility in Fisheries Management Act, a Magnuson-Stevens Act reform proposal that would reverse the progress made in restoring Americas fisheries by extending overfishing on the most vulnerable fish populations, undermine the scientific basis for fisheries management, and restrict public access to vast amounts of fisheries data. Oppose S. 2094, the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act of 2014, which preempts states rights to protect their waters from ship discharges and continues a regulatory scheme that continues to place the economic burden associated with invasive species on taxpayers rather than shifting it to the industry responsible for bringing those species to the nations waters. Oppose efforts to undermine effective marine fishery management by prohibiting the use of federal funds to approve limited access privilege programs (LAPPs), a kind of catch share, along the east coast and in the Gulf of Mexico. Oppose H.R. 935 (Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act of 2013), which would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from protecting water supplies from direct applications of pesticides. Work to remove provisions from S. 2198 and S. 2016 that would undermine Endangered Species Act protections in place in Californias Bay-Delta ecosystem.

Support the EPA taking actions to protect communities and ecosystems from mountaintop removal mining. Support for the Environmental Protection Agency to use its authority under Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act to protect Bristol Bay from large-scale mining projects like the Pebble Mine.Support for H.R. 1921, the Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act of 2013, which would require disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking fluids and would remove the oil and gas industrys exemption from the Safe Drinking Water Act. Work to strengthen S. 1009, the Chemical Safety Improvement Act, to update the Toxic Substances Control Act to better protect public health and the environment from toxic chemicals. Opposition to the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2013, H.R. 3080, specifically the harmful provisions that limit public participation in the federal decision-making process, degrade environmental review, and undermining the National Ocean Policy. Opposition to H.R. 2641, the Responsibly and Professionally Invigorating Development Act of 2013, which would severely undermine the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and, consequently, the quality and integrity of federal agency decisions. Encourage the EPA to strengthen risk prevention practices at chemical management facilities to protect public health and safety. Opposition to damaging environmental policy riders being attached to legislation addressing the debt ceiling. Opposition to H.Con.Res. 96, Rep. Paul Ryans budget for fiscal year 2015, which slashes funding for core domestic programs including our national parks, our environmental protections, our critical infrastructure as well as energy and health research far below crippling sequestration levels. Oppose H.R. 3830 and S 1900, The Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities Act, which would revive the outdated and unsound 2002 Fast Track Trade Promotion Authority mechanism, undermining Congress ability to ensure trade agreements do not negatively impact our public health and environment laws and regulations. Oppose the Chemicals in Commerce Act discussion draft, a TSCA reform proposal that would rollback EPAs current limited authority to regulate dangerous chemicals in commerce while also preempting states from taking actions to protect their citizens from toxic chemicals. Oppose the Strengthening Fishing Communities and Increasing Flexibility in Fisheries Management Act, a Magnuson-Stevens Act reform proposal that would reverse the progress made in restoring Americas fisheries by extending overfishing on the most vulnerable fish populations, undermine the scientific basis for fisheries management, and restrict public access to vast amounts of fisheries data.
