End State Involvement in EPA CPRG Program
Please withdraw our state from the federal EPA's Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program. Furthermore, please enact legislation that would protect property rights and prohibit any implementation of programs that would implement the United Nations' Agenda 2030 plan.
According to the EPA website, the CPRG program will distribute "$5 billion in grants to states, local governments, tribes, and territories to develop and implement ambitious plans for reducing greenhouse gas [GHG] emissions and other harmful air pollution." Participating entities, including state governments, are required to create two "Climate Action Plans" that will "incorporate a variety of measures to reduce GHG emissions from across their economies in six key sectors (electricity generation, industry, transportation, buildings, agriculture/natural and working lands, and waste management)."
In other words, this federal program is bribing states to implement central planning and radically expand the scope of government.
Also, the CPRG program is helping implement the UN's Agenda 2030, specifically Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 ("Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts") and Target 13.2 ("Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning"). Agenda 2030 is antithetical to the American form of government.
Please withdraw our state from the EPA's CPRG program, and instead promote policies that uphold the Constitution and property rights.
Withdraw From Federal CPRG Grant Program
I urge you to withdraw our state from the federal Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) grant program that the federal EPA is spearheading. This plan violates state sovereignty, and would implement policies that contradict constitutional principles.
The CPRG program would distribute about $5 billion in federal grants to state and local governments, but on the condition that they draft and implement "climate action plans" outlining government intervention to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in major segments of the economy. In other words, states are being forced to decimate large portions of their economies in the name of stopping supposed climate change.
The CPRG program threatens state sovereignty. By participating in this program, the states merely act as water carriers for the federal government. However, under the Constitution, the states are sovereign. They are not tools or subdivisions of the central government, and our state officials shouldn't act like they are.
Please withdraw from the EPA's CPRG program, and take bold action to uphold the U.S. Constitution and state sovereignty.
End Participation in EPA's CPRG Program
I strongly request that you completely terminate our state's participation in the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program, which the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is implementing under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.
This program is unconstitutional, erodes state sovereignty, and helps implement aspects of the UN's Agenda 2030 and the WEF's Great Reset. Under it, states are required to create and enforce "climate action plans" that would require significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in major sectors of the economy. This is central planning, and it would damage our economy.
Goal 13.2 of the UN's Agenda 2030 declares, "Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning." The EPA's CPRG program is a blatant implementation of this globalist goal. Why are we participating in this program?
In addition to fully withdrawing from the CPRG program, please enact legislation protecting property rights and banning the implementation of UN-initiated measures.
Restore State Sovereignty: Withdraw From EPA's CPRG Program
Please restore our state's sovereignty by withdrawing our participation in the federal Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program, which requires states to implement federal programs that would destroy our economy and standard of living.
Under the CPRG program, states must create two "Climate Action Plans" that would severely regulate "their economies in six key sectors (electricity generation, industry, transportation, buildings, agriculture/natural and working lands, and waste management)" in the name of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We cannot impose such restrictions and mandates without causing severe harm to the economy and cost of living.
Why are we even participating in this program? The federal government has no authority under the Constitution to regulate the economy or the environment, so why are we legitimizing this usurpation by participating in the CPRG program?
Please withdraw our state from the CPRG program, and enact measures protecting state sovereignty and enforcing adherence to the U.S. Constitution.
Stop Our Involvement in Climate Pollution Reduction Grants Program
I implore you to take action by ending our state's participation in the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program, which the federal Environmental Protection Agency is leading.
This program is dangerous for multiple reasons. For example, it requires our state to enact draconian economic regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in major sectors, including electricity, industry, transportation, building standards, agriculture, and waste management. This would ruin our standard of living.
Also, this plan would help implement globalist UN dictates. For example, the UN's Agenda 2030 demands, "Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning." The EPA's CPRG program -- which amounts to central planning over large aspects of everyday life -- is a clear example of this.
Also, it's inappropriate to blindly implement federal policies in the first place. States are sovereign entities, and we don't have to bow down to federal dictates. The 10th Amendment and Article VI both makes this very clear.
Please enact strong legislation that upholds state sovereignty and the U.S. Constitution, and reject the CPRG program that violates both.
