[font face=Serif][font size=5]Ron Johnson Accuses Group Fighting Climate Change Of 'Environmental Jihad'[/font]

[font size=3]Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) coined a new term to describe the push for climate change action: "environmental jihad."

In a fundraising email to supporters on Tuesday, Johnson hit back at the League of Conservation Voters (LCV), an environmental advocacy group, for a new ad campaign attacking the senator and other climate change deniers in Congress.

"The League of Conservation Voters is one of the many attack dog groups used by President Obama, the Democrats and the extreme left to weaken, defeat and silence conservatives," Johnson wrote in the email. "They use TV ads -- filled with smears -- because they work."

"The League of Conservation voters is not an organization with a balanced approach to a cleaner environment," he added. "They are an extreme left group on an environmental jihad."

[font size=5]Johnson Response to D.C. based League of Conservation Voters[/font]
[font size=3]Oshkosh, Wisconsin – In an effort to be responsive to numerous press inquiries, Senator Johnson issued the following statement regarding the press announcement by the Washington D.C. based League of Conservation Voters:

“I believe in a clean environment, and try to practice conservation and good stewardship in everything I do. The League of Conservation Voters' approach to environmentalism lacks balance and any reasonable sense of proportion. Theirs is an ideological and radical agenda. They don’t care if their policies kill Wisconsin jobs and slow creation of badly needed new jobs. They don’t care that their policies increase the cost of electricity, gasoline, or home heating and air conditioning in Wisconsin. They don’t care that their policies make it harder for Wisconsin families to make ends meet in very difficult economic times. I do care about how families struggle with higher costs and unemployment and I’m not afraid to fight against radical Washington policies that harm Wisconsin.”[/font][/font]

Is it fair for the League of Conservation Voters to call Senator Johnson a “denier?”

[font size=3]I oppose the Obama Administration’s attempt to impose a cap-and-trade system on the American people.

Man-made global warming remains unsettled science. World-renowned climate experts have raised serious objections to the theories behind these claims. I believe it is a bad idea to impose a policy that will raise taxes on every American, will balloon energy prices and will hurt our economic competiveness – especially on such uncertain predictions.

Why not give Senator Johnson a call? http://www.ronjohnson.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/contact

1. Ron, if you gave a damn about jobs in Wisconsin you wouldn't rely on prisoners for labor at Pacur.
