Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 With New Orleans still underwater and the economic damage assessments and death toll along the Gulf states rising every day, it is unconscionable that one of ExxonMobil's mouthpiece organizations would use this moment to advance its policy agenda designed to protect corporate profits, not human life. The National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA), an organization to which ExxonMobil gave $315,000 over the past seven years, released a report that argues that policies designed to cut global warming pollution condemn thousands to poverty, disease and even death. It is hard to miss the irony of this report, coming in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the massive toll it continues to have on human life, public health, and the economy. Click here now to send a letter to ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond and ask that ExxonMobil disavow the report released today by the NCPA and stop funding front groups that spread global warming disinformation. http://ga3.org/campaign/ExxposeExxon_NCPA?source=200507_adv_extaf It is a national tragedy that more than 500 people have lost their lives in Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. The total economic damage is estimated to be over $125 billion with insured losses of up to $60 billion. Yet the NCPA shows no shame in using the timing of this horrific disaster to promote its own agenda. Please tell ExxonMobil to disavow and stop funding organizations like the National Center for Policy Analysis, which have used funding from ExxonMobil to sow confusion and disinformation into one of the most important policy issues of our day, global warming. http://ga3.org/campaign/ExxposeExxon_NCPA?source=200507_adv_extaf With the American consumers feeling the pain of $3.00 per gallon gasoline, it would be far better to use ExxonMobil's political influence and some of the $7.6 billion in profits it made in the last quarter to reduce our dependence on oil by supporting higher fuel economy standards and investing in renewable fuels. PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO TEN FRIENDS. We really need your help to spread the word in order to put enough pressure on ExxonMobil to make the company change its policies for the better. With your help, we can make a difference! http://ga3.org/campaign/ExxposeExxon_NCPA?rk=n1Awe851sRBtW *************************************** Powered by GetActive Software, Inc.
