I agree, it's time to end taxpayer giveaways to wealthy oil companies.

Dear Friend,

Higher energy prices are hurting families like yours all across the country. Meanwhile, the five richest oil companies in the world are grabbing record-shattering profits, and then getting a second payday in the form of billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies.

In 2010, when 99 percent of working families were scrimping and saving, the top five oil companies sent their CEOs home with a total of $73 million in executive compensation.

President Obama has called on Congress to vote to end government giveaways to Big Oil. Senator Robert Menendez has answered that call by proposing a bill that ends wasteful oil subsidies and the Senate will vote on it this week.

If you agree that Big Oil should stop getting help and start paying its fair share, please ask your Senators to vote in support of Sen. Menendez's bill.

Republicans in Congress have voted in lockstep to keep these subsidies going, even as they tell us that we can't afford essential public services like education, child care, sanitation and emergency response. They say there's no money to create new jobs or invest in the industries of the future, but they keep shoveling cash to these outrageously wealthy, dinosaur oil companies.

Enough is enough. Join us in telling the Senate to stop wasting money on Big Oil.
