Urge Your Members of Congress to Cosponsor Key Permitting Reform Bill

A new bill has been introduced in the U.S. House that would strictly limit opponents’ use of meritless lawsuits to stop infrastructure projects such as pipelines and power transmission lines. Your support will help it become law. Please complete the form at right to contact your Representative and urge them to co-sponsor the legislation and support it when it comes up for a floor vote.

Dear [Lawmaker],

I am writing to strongly urge you to co-sponsor H.R. 4776, the Standardizing Permitting for Energy and Economic Development (SPEED) Act, which represents a vital reform to America’s infrastructure permitting process.
As you know, major energy and infrastructure projects—whether pipelines, transmission lines, manufacturing facilities, power generation, or carbon-capture hubs—often face years of delay due to duplicative reviews, inconsistent agency coordination, and drawn-out litigation. These delays not only increase costs but also threaten America’s ability to meet its energy, economic, and national security goals.
The SPEED Act tackles these challenges directly by:
* Establishing clear deadlines for environmental reviews;
* Strengthening the role of a single lead federal agency to avoid conflicting guidance;
* Clarifying the definition of “major federal action” and expanding categorical exclusions;
* Streamlining judicial review procedures so that meritless lawsuits cannot paralyze critical projects; and
* Preserving strong environmental standards and public participation while ensuring timely, predictable outcomes.
Communities across our nation need modernized energy infrastructure to power growth, expand manufacturing, and support reliable, affordable energy. By cutting through red tape without weakening environmental protections, the SPEED Act provides a balanced, common-sense path forward.
This is not just about speeding up projects—it is about ensuring that American workers, families, and businesses benefit from infrastructure investment, energy security and affordability, and economic opportunity. I respectfully ask that you co-sponsor H.R. 4776 and lend your support to its swift consideration in the House.
Thank you for your leadership and service to our district.

Sincerely,
______
