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.
