We have less than 90 days to put our country back on the right path. Less than 90 days to ensure that everyday issues, like clean air and clean water, are once again a priority, and less than 90 days to get rid of a right-wing Republican agenda that has repeatedly trampled on our natural resources.
As former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator appointed by President Clinton, it has been disappointing to watch as the Bush administration and their Republican allies in Congress have unraveled the thirty years of progress our country has made on environmental protection. They have put the health and safety of our communities at risk by
- Gutting our clean air and water laws;
- Cutting pollution enforcement budgets; and
- Refusing to make polluters pay to clean up their toxic dump sites.
Our best chance for making environmental protection a priority is by putting Democrats back in control of the White House and the Congress. John Kerry must have a Democratic Senate on his side—together they will make the difference in cleaning up our air and water and protecting our families from pollution. The DSCC is working hard to make sure our Democratic incumbents and challengers have the support they need to fight the good fight.
Every dollar you give to the DSCC helps put Democratic candidates one step closer to victory. Every dollar you give is a vote for the environment, a vote for our children’s future.
We have never been so close. We are just two seats away and we have never needed a Democratic Senate more than we need it now.

Bent on putting polluter profits ahead of public health, the Republicans have refused to force power plants to cut air pollution linked to asthma. Worst of all, they have proposed a plan that would delay and weaken requirements for coal-fired power plants to reduce their emissions of poisonous mercury. Mercury is known to cause birth defects and even learning disabilities and this proposal only serves to put another generation of children at risk. A Democratic majority in the Senate will help put the laws in place that will change the destructive path we are on and steer us toward a more sustainable and healthy environment.
Over the past year, the DSCC has sent over 4.7 million emails, resulting in contributions and actions by almost 15,000 people and over 3,000 new signups to our email list. We must bring as many new people as possible over the threshold from reading to action, so now we are asking directly- if you have not yet given to the DSCC this cycle, please consider doing so today.
Please help put a Democratic majority in the Senate and make the environment a priority again. Contribute today.
Sincerely,
Carol Browner
Former EPA Administrator
