<p>Dear Robert,
</p>
<p>A fossil fuel industry bill designed to silence activists fighting against deadly pollution and climate change passed the Illinois House of Representatives last month.
</p>
<div>HB 1633 would impose steep fines, felony charges and long jail sentences on activists that protest oil pipelines, coal mines, power plants and other dirty energy sources.
