Sign our Ozone Petition

I, the undersigned, as a citizen of the United States of America with residence in Arizona, petition this state’s elected officials to immediately prevent the imposition of regulations proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that will lower U.S. ground-level ozone standards below the 75 ppb level set in March 2008.

This action lacks scientific justification and there is no basis for EPA to propose changing the ozone standards promulgated by the EPA Administrator only two years ago.  The implementation of these new proposed standards would be economically disastrous to many local economies.  Many counties across the country would likely be out of attainment under the new standards, and billions of dollars would be spent by local governments and the private sector across the nation to try to achieve attainment -- all with marginal benefits.  Counties unable to comply with the new standards will not be able to issue permits to allow businesses to develop new opportunities, or expand current enterprises that will create jobs.

I join the overwhelming majority of Americans who support policies that will improve the American economy and support American job creation, not those that will further weaken our local communities and our nation.
