Subject: US Senate Vote on Sen Murkowski's SJR-26

 Friends,

 Your immediate action is needed.  On Thu, May 20 the US Senate will have a floor vote on Senator Murkowski’s resolution to not allow EPA to regulate greenhouse gases until the Congress acts to pass legislation specifically giving EPA that authority.  

 If you have read my weekly HILITES, or my Executive Director Update in the Alaska Miner monthly journal, you will have seen the myriad of ways EPA is attacking business in general and mining and oil & gas in particular.  The threat of this SJRes-26 is the only thing that has thus far had any impact on slowing down the EPA steamroller.  

 Attached is the current estimate of how all US Senators would vote.  Note that Senator Begich is leaning to pressure from the Obama Administration to oppose SJRes-26.  

Please call and/or write Senator Begich and urge him to support SJ Res-26.  

If you have dealings in other states please consider contacting those senators also.  

Steve Borell
