League of Conservation Voters Dirty Dozen for 2010: Part 3--Three Toxic Tea Partiers

by Neon Vincent

Earlier this week, I profiled three candidates on the the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Dirty Dozen list who are running for the House of Representatives.  Yesterday, I continued my series with Part 2--Four Filthy Senators.  Both of these diaries described the anti-environmental records of candidates who consistently vote (or promise to vote) against clean energy and natural resource conservation.

Join me over the fold for part 3, in which I profile the final three GOTeaP senate candidates on the LCV's list, all of whom put the Tea in GOTeaP.  I also include a first from the LCV--a propostion has been named to the list, making this a Dirty Baker's Dozen.  Most important of all, I include action items for their Democratic opponents and the No on 23 campaign.

CO-SEN Live Chat With Andrew Romanoff

by Andrew Romanoff

Thank you for joining me this afternoon.  I look forward to our conversation. Two days ago, I won the Colorado Democratic Assembly by 21 points.  I am honored to have earned the top spot on the August ballot. As I told the delegates on Saturday, the Democratic Party I led – and the Democratic Party I still believe in – doesn’t let drillers off the hook when they desecrate our environment.  We force them to pay for the damage they cause and make sure it never happens again, and we revolutionize our energy policy, so that no longer have to foul our oceans or spoil our skies – or spill our blood – just to power our planet.

The Next Dem. Primary Senate Candidate You Should Know About (DK Greenroots)

by wade norris

Now that we have delivered victories for Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania and most likely a win for Bill Halter in Arkansas, you, the Netroots, need to know about the next important Primary Candidate. Just like the race between Lincoln and Halter, this is a choice between a Corporate powered candidate vs a People powered candidate. Andrew Romanoff has taken the same pledge that Barack Obama took to win his race - he has pledged to take no corporate PAC Contributions or Special Interest money.  If you knew nothing else, that would be a good reason to support Andrew Romanoff. However, you need to know why his opponent does not deserve to be re-elected. Michael Bennet is a Bankster Senator and was a corporate raider  before he was appointed a Senator.   There is a clear difference in this race - supporting the Candidate who works for Wall Street or supporting Andrew Romanoff, the Candidate who works for us on Main Street.
