President Biden has an important opportunity to stop high energy bills and help keep our country secure by stopping the expansion of LNG exports today.

[Common Defense @commondefense]

.@SpeakerJohnson needs to stop entertaining Republican chaos, quit playing political games with crucial aid to our allies, and bring up the bill that received 70 votes in the Senate.

A new letter from former senior military leaders underscores how @SpeakerJohnson’s & the House GOP’s attempts to undo @POTUS’ pause on new LNG exports is a threat to national security. Read more: https://t.co/9IIbNTbNuY #StopLNG

You may have seen us in @EENewsUpdates this morning reminding Congress that allowing Big Oil CEOs to export U.S. gas wherever they want, without limits, is a gift to China.

President Biden’s pause on authorizing new LNG export facilities protects our country and our families.

[Protect U.S. Families @ProtectUSFams]

.@RepCasten is exactly right @SpeakerJohnson's Ukraine aid/LNG deal: Johnson “...cares far more about maintaining his speakership and elevating the interests of fossil fuel companies than he does about protecting global democracy and lowering energy costs for American consumers"

[Protect U.S. Families @ProtectUSFams]

.@SpeakerJohnson's attempt to rollback the commonsense pause on new LNG export approvals is a perfect example of how two-faced the GOP is on China. They talk tough but they constantly choose to put the Chinese government’s interests over America’s security and economy.

[The New Republic @newrepublic]

Mike Johnson will support aid for Ukraine, he hints, in return for undoing the pause on new natural gas export terminals.

16 Republican AGs are rushing a lawsuit against the temporary LNG exports pause to bail out their oil & gas donors.

With the pause, @POTUS stepped up to protect families who are paying the price for unlimited LNG exports to our global adversaries.

As someone who made a name for himself advocating for the little guy, @TimRyan's support for overturning the LNG exports pause that saves Ohioans money - at the behest of his big O&G CEO funders - is just plain gross.

[Revolving Door Project @revolvingdoorDC]

In @TheProspect today: Tim Ryan and the other revolvers at the helm of an industry-funded natural gas advocacy group are using their status as former public servants to push private interests. Ryan condemned the LNG pause w/o disclosing his LNG funders.

We cannot let China use U.S. energy to subsidize their manufacturers and advance their interests while Americans face higher gas bills.

[Protect U.S. Families @ProtectUSFams]

.@POTUS is standing up against China’s unfair economic practices by pausing new LNG export facility approvals to assess the impact of those exports on American competitiveness and security. #SOTU2024

"This important step forward is more than just action on climate — it tackles an emerging national security threat that oil and gas CEOs would rather not talk about." - BG (Ret.) Steve Anderson

Steve Anderson, retired U.S. Army brigadier general:

"To put it plainly, letting China buy up huge quantities of American LNG and leverage it to expand their influence over the global energy market is a serious risk to our national security"

NEW: Vet Voice Foundation Praises Merkley-Brown Legislation to Ban Export of U.S. Natural Gas To China, Iran, North Korea, & Russia

“We commend this legislation for lowering prices for American households and putting the safety and security of U.S. families first."

TODAY the @HoustonChron ed board praised the Biden admin's pause on new LNG export facilities, calling it a "smart policy."

Check it out here: https://t.co/b6IRuzFeeZ

[Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten]

When US natural gas is exported overseas it drives up prices for folks at home.

It’s time we prioritize the interests of American consumers over energy producers.

[Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten]

This bill to reverse the pause on LNG exports is bad for the climate, bad for the economy, and bad for the US consumer.

[Protect U.S. Families @ProtectUSFams]

.@FrankPallone is absolutely right. H.R. 7176 is the Republicans' valentine to China -- and American families and businesses are paying for it.

[Protect U.S. Families @ProtectUSFams]

China is the single largest identified purchaser of future U.S. natural gas, totaling almost 14%.

The Chinese government is using our resources to build more influence all over the world and boost their manufacturers – and our families and businesses are footing the bill.

[Congressman Nick Langworthy @RepLangworthy]

President Biden continues to push policies that put America last — his halt on LNG exports is just the latest example.

This move is a gift to Putin and hurts American families and businesses. It cannot be allowed to stand.

[Protect U.S. Families @ProtectUSFams]

📺NEW AD: While big oil & gas is selling unlimited U.S. natural gas to our rivals, like the Chinese government, to make huge profits, American interests & security are at risk.

China is using U.S. gas to expand its global influence -- and our families are footing the bill.

[Protect U.S. Families @ProtectUSFams]

Protect U.S. Families took out a full page ad in @politico celebrating the Biden Administration’s pause on new LNG export facility approvals for providing significant benefits to American families in the form of lower energy bills, cleaner air, and keeping our families safe.

[Rep. Frank Pallone @FrankPallone]

Before we send our energy abroad, we SHOULD first confirm that doing so is in Americans’ interests.

LNG exports can drive up energy prices here at home, which is what happened 2 years ago when our natural gas prices TRIPLED.

That’s why I set the record straight on LNG.
