Dem senators sign piece of paper to 'guarantee that we're gonna have a fight to save the planet' from fossil fuel fever

There’s a push for Democrats in Congress to pledge to reject any donations from gas, coal or oil companies, and Sen. Ed Markey is one of the first to take what he says is a “fight to save the planet”:

The planet is running a fever and there are no emergency rooms for planets. We just need to get fossil fuel money out of politics. I’ve never needed their dirty money, that’s dirtying up the world. #SignthePledge @350 @NoFossilMoney @350Mass @sunrisemvmt pic.twitter.com/aIIoz3hfO9

Markey & Merkley are the two senators who have signed the pledge:

One thing’s for sure: The pledge they signed will be at least as purely symbolic as the Paris Agreement.

Clueless climate cultist Ed Markey, everybody! https://t.co/zjvaQGYtps
