Sign Our Letter to President Trump

President Donald J. Trump was sworn into his second term in office on January 20 ushering in what is expected to be an administration concerned with America controlling its energy future. Our members stand among all the nation's industry craftsmen who are ready to work with his administration and with other leaders to secure good jobs, build safe pipeline infrastructure and secure access to domestically sourced energy.

On January 30, we submitted this letter with more than 2,100 signatures to President Trump commending his support of America-first energy policy. THANK YOU to each of you who added your name. Any signatures collected after this date may be included to follow-up submissions.

Dear President Trump:

It is with great optimism that we welcome you back into the office of the presidency. Every American who is concerned about our economic future should prioritize a strong domestic energy industry, an industry that supports nearly 11 million American jobs and whose strength or weakness directly impacts the national economy. We stand together in support of your continued advocacy to invest in infrastructure, to advocate for permitting reform and to get American pipeliners – many of whom are members of Pipeliners Local 798 – to work on good jobs that can help provide for their families.

Our members see first-hand the tremendous benefits pipeline projects provide local workforces, business owners and residents, in addition to all Americans who enjoy access to domestically sourced and affordable oil and gas and their many by-products. That is why our members work tirelessly to make sure that certain projects receive support and advocacy throughout permitting processes.

This advocacy is often accomplished through the American Pipeline Action Network, an online digital tool that Local 798 launched in 2017. Using this tool, our members have mobilized tens of thousands of industry advocates to sign petitions, contact elected officials and regulators and take other actions to support infrastructure projects and to influence legislation.

Mr. President, you understand that skilled tradesmen across this country depend on the jobs that infrastructure projects create. Local 798, in particular, claims generations of experience constructing quality infrastructure that connects communities to critical energy resources. These projects include Enbridge's Line 3 Replacement Project, the Mountain Valley Pipeline and Nexus Pipeline, among numerous others.

We look forward to opportunities through your administration’s America-first energy policy to help construct safe, efficient and environmentally responsible energy infrastructure connecting our nation’s resources with communities across the country. Let’s get to work.

Signed,
