McCain's 0% environmental voting record
Two weeks ago John McCain was the only Senator to duck a
crucial vote on the future of clean energy in America --
dooming to failure the measure that would have helped
make renewable energy more affordable and accessible.
Now it turns out this missed vote is part of a pattern.
Last week, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV)
released the 2007 National Environmental Scorecard
<http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=Hi4AjCGBNdOnY6GXUUxd-w..>
giving Senator McCain a score of ZERO. According to the
scorecard, McCain was the only member of Congress to skip
all 15 crucial environmental votes scored by LCV.
McCain's LCV score exposes the real record behind the
rhetoric -- a lifetime LCV score of 24, a history of siding with
the polluters and special interests, and a consistent pattern
of ducking important environmental votes.
