Urge the Governors to Veto Port Ambrose

After the final hearings on November 5^th, both Governor Christie and Governor Cuomo will have 45 days to veto Port Ambrose. The national and regional safety issues, and environmental and economic concerns that prompted Governor Christie’s first veto remain: this project would destroy important environmental resources, undermine our clean ocean economies, threaten our national and regional security, limit access to fishing areas, and accelerate climate change. Governor Christie and Governor Cuomo can and must put an end to this project once and for all. The Deepwater Port Act gives Governors the power to say “no”.

Call the Governors today and urge them to veto Port Ambrose:

Call Governor Christie: 609-292-6000

Urge him to Veto Port Ambrose as He Vowed in 2010.

Sample Phone Message:

“Hi, my name is ___________. I am a voter/student/resident from __________ and I am calling to urge Governor Christie to veto the Port Ambrose liquefied natural gas project.

In 2010 Governor Christie promised as long as he is Governor he would veto any LNG application off our coast. I urge Governor Christie to keep his word and veto Port Ambrose.

This project is bad for New Jersey, harmful to the marine environment and threatens our economy and safety.  All these damaging results are needless. We do not need imported natural gas; the U.S. has an ample domestic supply. Governor Christie must put an end to this project once and for all by vetoing Port Ambrose. Thank you.”

Governor Cuomo: 1-800-566-5020

Urge him to Veto Dangerous & Dirty Fossil Fuel!

Sample Phone Message:

“Hi, my name is ___________. I am a voter/student/resident from __________ and I am calling to urge Governor Cuomo to veto the Port Ambrose Deepwater project.

Liquefied natural gas pollutes methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and NY cannot reduce climate pollution 80% by 2050 with the build-out of natural gas infrastructure.

New York needs to produce 50% of our energy from renewable sources by 2025 & Port Ambrose directly competes for space with offshore wind projects.

 We do not need imported natural gas; the U.S. has an ample domestic supply.

That is why I urge Governor Cuomo to veto Port Ambrose. Thank you.”
