The President has proposed massive cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency that will gut the EPA's vital work. Protection of the environment has been and should remain a nonpartisan issue. Our country’s environmental challenges—including providing clean drinking water and clean air, preserving our natural resources, and combating climate change—require stepped-up action, not cutbacks.

We demand that Congressman Frelinghuysen, as Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, maintain the EPA's full funding, allowing it to continue the crucial work of protecting our nation’s climate and natural resources.
