URGENT ACTION NEEDED - Protect the Work of Charities in Any Fiscal Cliff Deal

Now on the verge of reaching a deal on avoiding the "fiscal cliff," the President and House Speaker reportedly have agreed to impose new limits to the charitable giving incentive as part of their package. Unless they receive a huge groundswell of opposition immediately, the ability of charitable nonprofits - everything from churches and synagogues to local food banks, cultural groups, Girl Scouts, and United Ways - to raise the funds they need to serve others may be sharply curbed for many years to come.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO:
Call the White House right now (202-456-1111) and give the operator this message for the President:

The President's limit on charitable deductions hurts front line nonprofits serving people in need. Don't hurt the helpers. Don't limit charitable deductions!

Give your name, City and State, and tell what the charitable deduction means to the work you do or the services you rely on.

THE NEXT MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO:
Forward this message to everyone you know who cares about the work of your nonprofit, the services you provide, and the people you serve.

That means forward this email to all of your employees/co-workers, board members, volunteers, clients, people served, and colleagues with other nonprofits in your community.

The White House Comment Line operates from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm EASTERN. Call now and forward this message.

Decision time for Strong Soot Standards

Decision time for Strong Soot Standards

The decision on new soot health standards is due tomorrow. We need your voice today to let President Obama know how much these standards matter for public health. This is your last chance to tell President Obama to support strong soot standards.<http://action.lung.org/site/R?i=3Ca2hDAk-u21shRclZwvDw>

Independent scientists tell us that we need much stronger standards, but polluters want to be able to continue fouling the air we breathe.

Ask President Obama to set new standards to protect you and your family.<http://action.lung.org/site/R?i=hpnnWyR8zfWxTeOyElPDxg>

Thousands of studies show that soot from diesel engines, power plants and factories worsen the health of those with lung and heart disease, trigger asthma attacks and can even kill. Our children and our communities must be protected from this deadly pollutant.

Tell President Obama: put public health over the polluters wishes.<http://action.lung.org/site/R?i=d2UUe0i0Kvfy80X3Oiy32Q>



Big polluters are working to block EPA's lifesaving clean air protections.

Take action and tell President Obama it's time for less soot. <http://action.lung.org/site/R?i=nzS06mDSEoUVfnKHecpKeA>


Thank you for all you do.
