See how your Reps and Sens score on the environment

[pnutchuck]

I received this email and thought I'd pass it on to the DU. I'm having problems getting the scorecard, might be too much traffic. I apologize if this is a dupe. If anyone else gets the scorecard, could you please post it?


Don’t believe everything you see in campaign commercials. Just because the candidates stand on a beach or clear brush, doesn’t mean they’re not working to dismantle the laws that protect our air, water, and open space.

That’s why it’s so important that we hold Congress accountable for its actions on the environment. Today, LCV issued the 2004 edition of its famous National Environmental Scorecard, the document bridges the gap between rhetoric and reality. We’ve sorted out the most important environmental votes in Congress, based on recommendations from representatives of over twenty major environmental groups, and let you know where your elected representatives stand.

Check out the latest Scorecard and get the truth. How did your Representative and Senators score? http://www.lcv.org/scorecard/scorecardmain.cfm?orgid=04scpc&MX=560&H=1

Download the Scorecard and read about the issues, like energy policy, forest protection, and national parks and check the scores of your Senators and member of Congress.
Take Action to let your representatives know how you feel about their votes.
What you’ll find in this year’s Scorecard.

Powerful House Chairmen Joe Barton of Texas and Richard Pombo of California try to shortcut the permitting process for refineries and skirt environmental reviews.
House Majority Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri attempts to use high gas prices as an excuse to suspend the requirement for cleaner burning fuels.
Rep. David Obey of Wisconsin asks Congress to reduce the tax cut for people who make over $1 million a year and restore $825 million in cuts to natural resource and environment programs.
Did your Senator say no? Did they win? Who voted yes? Get the answers now in LCV’s 2004 National Environmental Scorecard.

1. 100% for my congressman, Rush Holt, 12th New Jersey.

I am so proud of having that guy as my congressman.

For a while I thought I'd have to move from here, and not having him as my congressman was the most depressing thought about it.

Both my Senators, Lautenberg and Corzine are also 100%.
