About Us

Welcome

As one of the world's most profitable companies, ExxonMobil has the power to move the world toward a more sustainable energy future. Instead, ExxonMobil has acted consistently to move our country backward on energy policy by opposing efforts to stop global warming, lobbying to drill in America s most pristine wilderness areas, and failing to promote renewable energy and fuel efficiency.

Write a letter to ExxonMobil CEO!

On October 26, 2005, ExxonMobil announced a record-breaking $9.9 billion profit for last quarter. As if that weren. t enough, Congress recently gave the oil and gas industry, including ExxonMobil, $10.7 billion in tax breaks for 2005 - 2009. It just does NOT make sense for taxpayers to subsidize an incredibly profitable multi-billion dollar industry while Congress slashes programs for the most needy.

Fill out this form to tell ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond say NO to these tax breaks and subsidies!

Dear Mr. Raymond,

I am writing to urge ExxonMobil to decline the tax breaks and subsidies offered to the oil industry by the federal government, including tax breaks from the energy bill passed by Congress in August 2005. In the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, our nation is facing many challenges. One of the challenges facing the Bush Administration and Congress is how to pay for the desperately-needed but costly rebuilding efforts underway along America's Gulf Coast. This fall, your company donated $3 million to the Hurricane Katrina and Rita relief efforts. In the same spirit, I am calling on ExxonMobil to do what is right for the rebuilding effort and refuse to accept the billions in federal tax breaks and subsidies for the oil industry. Many members of Congress have already offered to cancel road building and other projects earmarked for their districts in order to fund hurricane relief projects. After all, it does not appear that ExxonMobil needs support from the federal government. Your company made $25 billion in profit in 2004, and is on pace to surpass that amount in 2005. Under current law, the oil and gas industry stands to gain $10.7 billion in tax breaks between 2005 and 2009. It simply does not make sense -especially in the wake of two major hurricanes - for taxpayers to subsidize an immensely profitable multi-billion dollar industry while Congress is considering significant cuts to important domestic programs to fund hurricane relief, including slashing programs for the most needy. I urge ExxonMobil to act as a responsible corporate citizen and publicly decline the billions in tax breaks and subsidies for the oil and gas industry authorized by current law. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

(Your signature will be added from the information you provide below.)
