SAMPLE NADCA LETTER IN SUPPORT OF THE MURKOWSKI AMENDMENT

June 8, 2010

Dear Senator  XXX:

The EPA is planning to regulate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from stationary sources, such as manufacturing facilities, under the Clean Air Act. This will impose additional economic burdens and regulatory delays on the domestic die casting industry, and will impede new business investment and slow efforts to get the economy moving again. It is essential that the Senate approve S. J. Res. 26, the bipartisan Congressional Review Act Resolution of Disapproval introduced by Senator Lisa Murkowski to prevent these efforts by EPA to regulate GHG emissions from stationary sources.

Should the EPA be allowed to proceed, our company and hundreds of plants like ours, will be forced to adhere to yet another level of new strict regulations and forced to obtain costly supplementary permits. This would be a devastating blow to investment and growth in our industry, not to mention the implications of coupling these regulations with the recession that has hit our country and especially our state.

As your constituent and employer in your state, I strongly urge you to stop these EPA regulations. Most American manufacturers will be impacted if Congress does not prevent EPA from moving forward with its plan to regulate GHGs from stationary sources. Legislative action such as S. J. Res. 26 is critical to preserving jobs and promoting economic growth while Congress considers comprehensive legislation to address climate change.

Again, I urge you to vote in favor of S. J. Res. 26. Thank you for your attention and support of the die casting industry. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Name/Title/Company
