The Green

Robert Redford really knows his stuff when it comes to the environmental movement. He advocates for a green economy revolution in America, and he has recently explained one great way for Americans to help make this dream a reality. Make sure you read this article carefully as there are a lot of really subtle yet powerful ideas presented in Mr. Redford's article.

"Right now, we have the scientific knowledge and cutting-edge technologies we need to cut global warming pollution and build a cleaner, greener energy future. But technology isn't quite enough—we also need to have a strong, pro-environment Congress.

That's why I've decided to get behind LCV Action Fund this year. Their top-notch election campaign WILL ensure that some of the worst environmental enemies—like Senators Ted Stevens, Elizabeth Dole, and Jim Inhofe—don't make it back for another term. But they can't do it without our help.

Will you give today to help LCV Action Fund make sure the Dirty Dozen don't see another term in office?

Recently, I read a piece by Thomas Friedman in the New York Times wher e he said, "The greenest thing you can do is this: Choose the right leaders. It is so much more important to change your leaders than change your light bulbs."

And I thought to myself, that's exactly it. I've been appalled by the direction dirty politicians have been leading our country when it comes to the environment. They have been sitting comfortably in the pocket of Big Oil and Dirty Coal for far too long. They are the ones who are preventing us from passing laws to protect the environment. They are the ones who have made it possible for the polluting interests to profit while American families struggle with rising gas prices.

I know you are just as frustrated as I am. And that is why I am urging you to support LCV Action Fund. They know how to defeat the Dirty Dozen who have polluted the halls of Congress for years with their shameful environmental records. But they need our help before September 30.

LCV Action Fund has a sophisticated political targeting pr ogram that carefully identifies, persuades, and mobilizes undecided voters in the Dirty Dozen's states and districts. It's a time-honored program—and I've seen it work. Being named to the Dirty Dozen is as close to a political death knell as it gets—LCV Action Fund has defeated 41 of them over the last 12 years! That is an amazing record considering 96% of incumbents have won re-election since 1996.

Elections matter. Who controls Congress matters. Change is possible. I saw it when I lobbied for the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act more than three decades ago. And today, all that is standing in the way of our clean energy future is the selfish, negligent politics of the Dirty Dozen.

Don't let them block progress to a clean future for our environment any more, joyce. Click here [www.lcv.org] to help make this term their last.

Thank you so much.

Sincerely,

Robert Redford"
