STOP FOSSIL FUEL SUBSIDIES

It's time to end tax breaks for wealthy and powerful oil, coal and gas companies.

While millions of Americans struggle to make ends meet, some of the world’s richest and most powerful companies are getting hundreds of millions of dollars, every year, in the form of tax breaks.

These companies are making record profits. They don't need our support. And numerous studies find that eliminating subsidies for fossil fuel production would not have a significant impact on consumer gas prices. In fact, the Department of Treasury estimates less than a penny a gallon cost increase.

We've been subsidizing these wealthy companies for far too long--let's end these tax breaks once and for all.

Contact your reps and demand change. Remember you're the boss
