Stop our tax dollars from subsidizing the BP spill

BP announced $6.1 billion profits in April for its first quarter -- double last year's number and roughly six times the amount it has spent on the cleanup so far. 

Over the next ten years, the oil and gas industry will receive $40 billion in subsidies -- courtesy of the American taxpayer.

By improving the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid can stop sending our tax dollars to subsidize Big Oil's mistakes.

The Senate votes this week, and we are working with our federation to gather signatures from Americans across the country, demanding that Sen. Reid hold BP accountable.

Sign the petition below to make sure that BP is paying for spill clean up.

Petition Text

Dear Senator,

I don't want my tax dollars going to big oil companies. There's no better time than now to end corporate welfare to companies that make huge profits and huge mistakes. We urge you to address this injustice in the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act.

Sincerely,
