RE: CALL TO ACTION: URGE EPA to NOT REGULATE GREENHOUSE GASES

Currently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is collecting comments on an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding regulating Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) under the Clean Air Act.

WE NEED YOUR HELP to tell the EPA NOT to regulate Greenhouse Gases under the Clean Air Act since such regulation would be economically devastating to the entire U.S. economy, including the cattle industry.

Attached are two forms of the comments that you can submit to the EPA against this rule. The long form is the full comments that will be submitted by NCBA, the short comments are the same ones that are posted on CAPWIZ. If you would like to just directly submit your comments from CAPWIZ please visit: http://capwiz.com/beefusa/issues/alert/?alertid=12240106 (submitting them through CAPWIZ will ensure it goes to the right email address and with the correct subject line – you can edit these comments in CAPWIZ before sending).

You can also submit your comments via email. Just send them to: a-

and-rDocketepa (DOT) gov and be sure to reference Docket ID# EPA-HQ-OAR-

2008-0318 in the subject line.

PLEASE help us fight against regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act by sending a letter TODAY! Deadline for letters is Friday, November 28th. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to contact me, Bostdorff, at or ebostdorffbeef (DOT) org.
