The EPA has stopped protecting the environment. Its anti-science bias of recent years is widely known and deplored.
Good stewards are vital to the earth, now more than ever before in our history.
EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson overrules his science advisers to make decisions that pander to corporate interests and clearly weaken efforts to reduce pollution.
Johnson must go. I call on Congress to ask the President to replace him with a more science-oriented, protective administrator without delay.
Sincerely,
Alan J.
