Plain and simple, America is too dependent on oil. Because of our overdependence on oil, we end up with beautiful wilderness areas destroyed by oil drilling, beaches ruined by oil spills, national parks choked with smog, and global warming.

We can break America’s oil habit by making our cars go farther on a gallon of gas. Please call your representative and ask them to raise gas mileage standards.

You can reach your representative at 202-224-3121. If you don't know who your representative is, that's OK. Just tell the operator your zip code, and they will connect you.

Here's a sample message you can leave: "Hello, my name is ____ and I live in _____. I'm calling to urge Rep. _____ to support proposals to raise gas mileage standards to 40 mpg."

Then, please report your call below so we can keep track of how many are being made.
