STOP THE DIRTY DOZEN

Coral reefs. Migrating song birds. America's beautiful coastlines. Polar icecaps. Majestic glaciers. What do these have in common? They're all disappearing.

And these? Gas prices. Global warming pollution. The destructive power of hurricanes. Big Oil's profit margins. You guessed it – they're all growing.

*Additional Dirty Dozen politicians will be announced soon.

In Congress, there are a handful of vulnerable anti-environment politicians – the "Dirty Dozen." With the 2006 Dirty Dozen campaign, the League of Conservation Voters will target these anti-environmental politicians with an aggressive, multilayered and independent campaign. We are going to beat the Dirty Dozen this November, and we'll need your help.

Take our quick online survey. Let us know how you can help LCV Beat the Dirty Dozen on Election Day.

Just think – when you help us defeat Richard Pombo, you'll be removing the man who is leading the charge to gut the Endangered Species Act. Senator Rick Santorum is certainly no better. He has racked up a frightening string of anti-environmental votes. By defeating Senator Conrad Burns, you'll be helping us remove a man who scored just 5% on environmental issues in 2005.

This is a man who votes against the environment almost every time.

LCV has defeated 51% of all Dirty Dozen candidates since 1996 – at a time when incumbents were winning 95% of the time. We have done it in the past, and we know that you play a huge role in helping us win an environmentally-responsible Congress. That's why we need to hear from you.

We've done our research on the Dirty Dozen – now it's time to learn more about you! Which environmental issues do you feel are the most important? How can you help LCV educate other voters about the Dirty Dozen’s environmental voting records? Can you help turn out voters in November?

Your feedback will help our campaign staff craft our strategy!
Together, we will take immediate and effective action to protect our air, land, water, and wildlife. Your participation will help us map out the best route to victory in 2006. The Dirty Dozen must be – and can be – stopped.
