Federal Action Alert – February 26, 2023

Produced by the Legislative Committee of the Coconino County Democratic Party and Democrats of the Red Rocks

A. Pass the Protect Our Credit Act of 2023!! Demand our Senators support and pass the
Protect Our Credit Act of 2023. This act would allow the President to raise the debt limit
to avoid default unilaterally. Congress could then block it, but only by a two-thirds
supermajority. Everyone agrees that the full faith and credit of the United States can
never be called into question, and a default would be catastrophic. However, some
House Republicans cannot sense the magnitude of this responsibility and must have that
power taken away. It is time!!


B. Stop the Conoco Phillips’ Willow Project in the Western Arctic! Demand that
President Biden halt the approval of the largest pending oil and gas project anywhere on
Federal Lands. It is a carbon bomb that could pour hundreds of millions of tons of
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and threaten Alaska Native communities’ air,
water and food. The Biden Administration have recently reinstated the roadless
protections to Alaska’s Tongass National Forest and finalized a 20-year mining ban next
to the Boundary Waters. However, in as little as 30 days the BLM is set to lock in a
decision to allow the Willow project. Please take a minute to let President Biden know
we want him to shut down this project.
