Statement from the Rev. Mitch Hescox

President/CEO of the Evangelical Environmental Network

Over 95,000 pro-life Christians are calling on Senators to defend the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) Methane Rule, issued in November 2016.  This regulation is under attack in Congress.  The House of Representatives has already passed legislation in the form of a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution.  This is the most extreme measure Congress can take to both kill a regulation and bar federal agencies from issuing any similar regulations in the future.  The Senate is now considering this extreme CRA approach as well.
