Concerned citizens should find out if their Senators and Congressional Representative have pledged No Fossil Fuel Money. Thank them if they have. If they haven’t yet pledged, request that they do so and tell them why it’s important to you.
An article that solely focuses on a few Democrats’ corruption by the petro fascists, while ignoring gop corruption, is misleading and feeds into the zombie myth that both parties are just as bad.
Again, #gop much more corrupted by and subservient to the #OilyBoys than #dems.
And a number of politicians—nearly all Democrats—have pledged not to accept fossil fuel funding: https://nofossilfuelmoney.org/congressional-signers/

Some Day we’ll look back fondly at the cool summers we had in the 2020s.
I like the original toot in this thread because it includes an action we can all take: Voting for the climate. I.e. voting for candidates who back clean energy, sustainable agriculture, voting rights, education & science; for candidates who do not accept fossil fuel funds.
Both sides are not the same.

Dear Senator Smith,
I am writing to encourage you to sign the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge (https://nofossilfuelmoney.org/congressional-signers/).
Pledging not to accept fossil fuel funding is an important step in cleaning up our politics; and is an important, visible indicator of your commitment to not let fossil fuel interests influence your positions on key climate and clean energy issues.
Sincerely,
MB

Next post is my letter to Senator Tina Smith (D, Minnesota). I believe she's good, just hasn't yet signed the pledge. Feel free to lift this language and write your own elected officials.

@dawnfry If you're talking about the pie chart I created, go for it. The data come from a .csv file I downloaded from https://nofossilfuelmoney.org/congressional-signers/
If you're talking about the bar chart that @GreenFire posted, it's available for stealing at https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/indus.php?ind=e01

@chargrille Schiff is also the one candidate who hasn't signed the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge, and dodged when I asked him about it a few weeks ago.
Either Porter or Lee is preferable to anybody who cares about climate.
