President Trump officially withdrew the United States from the Paris Accord today. Reports broke this week that President Trump was planning on withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. Sure enough, he stuck to his campaign promises and made this withdrawal reality. Despite the mainstream media noise and leftist cries, this withdrawal is a win for the American people. So why is that?

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and urge them to support S.Con.Res. 17, introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). The resolution expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should withdraw from the Paris Agreement, which was signed by President Barack Obama in April 2016.

Since the Congressional Review Act became law in 1996 through the 114th Congress, more than 120 resolutions of disapproval have been introduced to cancel regulations promulgated by federal agencies. The Congressional Review Act gives Congress 60 legislative days after a federal agency submits a rule for review. Between the 104th Congress and the 114th Congress, only one resolution of disapproval canceling a rule passed by both chambers of Congress and was signed into law.

Environmental groups have declared war against Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, Donald Trump's nominee to head the Environmental Protection Agency. Don't be surprised if Mr. Pruitt's nomination hearing this week degenerates into a three ring circus of obnoxious and disruptive Big Green antics, the new M.O. of the left these days.

FreedomWorks is proudly supporting Scott Pruitt as the nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He has demonstrated his commitment to defending the separation of powers by fighting the EPA for constitutional overreach. He will hold the executive branch accountable when it comes to power and regulations, and will further his consistency in keeping federal intrusion out of the rights of both the states and individuals.
