An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Please support the FATCAT Act to fight private jet abuses

41 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Here are some important reasons to support and even co-sponsor Sen. Ed Msrkry's FATCAT Act: —in only 1 year, the private jets owned by 14 billionaires flew enough to circle the globe 157 times — in only 1 year, the private jets emissions of only 4 incoming Trump officials equaled 560 times more than the carbon emitted by the average American — Sen. Markey's bill raises fuel taxes for private jets from 22 cents per gallon to $2 per gallon — Sen. Markey's bill removes exemptions on the existing tax — Sen. Markey's bill generates tens of millions $$ in revenue — Sen. Markey's bill directs this revenue to performing air monitoring in disadvantaged communities. Please support and co-sponsor this bill that moves billionaires toward paying more fairly for their use of everyone's resources, and protects the everyday people whose environments are affected by such cavalier abuses. It's only fair. Thank you from your committed, voting constituent.
