My Family is Voting Yes on 1631

Sat., Nov. 3, 2018

My family and I are voting for 1631. Energy companies have been pumping pollutants into the atmosphere for a century, and the results are obvious and projected to worsen three-fold in coming years. Do not believe in all the hype about rising energy costs. It is nothing but guesses and conjecture. They are spending millions to urge you to vote no.

My kids and grandchildren deserve a bright future, and so do yours. Vote Yes. Do you realize that for every 100 billion in profits they paid 35 percent in taxes? But with Trump’s tax cuts it is now 20 percent. Do the math. They can afford to pay for cleaning up some of the damage and improving our environment!
