Sign the Petition: Tell Governor Mills and Maine legislators, "I support the Make Polluters Pay Act!"

In Maine, we work hard, and we know that if you make a mess, you clean it up. Well, Big Oil — an elite club of global megacorporations that make more than one hundred BILLION dollars in profit a year — has caused millions of dollars of damage to the state of Maine through floods, droughts, and extreme storms that have all been made worse by climate change. Those same corporations haven't spent a dime to help us clean up their mess. In last winter's storms alone, Maine faced over $90 million in damage to our public infrastructure! Right now, you and I are on the hook for that bill.

It's time that the world's biggest fossil fuel polluters who caused the problem pick up the tab instead of Maine taxpayers — that's why I support the Make Polluters Pay Act. In America, when a company spills toxic waste, it is their responsibility to clean it up, not ours.  

In Maine, it should be the law that climate polluters pay for the damage they cause, which is exactly what this bill will do. You have a choice — will you increase the burden on yourself and fellow Mainers as climate change worsens or tell the big fossil fuel polluters to pay their fair share from their massive profits?
