Voter suppression efforts threaten our gains. Chip in now and help in key races across the country: http://action.lcv.org/site/R?i=aqEGe3yEsOGw1y75dIbvQQ John, The Dirty Dozen has Big Oil and Dirty Coal, but the environment has us. Fight back against voter suppression and dirty tricks - chip in $5 right now, and help win next Tuesday: http://action.lcv.org/site/R?i=YCMwVVNrSv7_77lE0pBxwQ . Corporate special interests have their plan to win the election and help the Dirty Dozen win: make sure environmental voters can't even enter the voting booth. I wish I were kidding. An unprecedented wave of voter suppression efforts in key states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin could swing races in favor of dirty energy advocates and climate change deniers. Across the country, thousands of eligible voters are being purged from the voter rolls. This year, these nasty tactics might pay off. Just look at Tim Kaine in Virginia, who's neck-and-neck with his opponent, Big Oil crony George Allen. Allen lost his bid for Senate by just 7,000 votes in 2006 but thousands more than that are being wiped from the records this time around. For every vote they suppress, we need to get two more people out to vote. That's why we're responding immediately ensuring environmental voters make it to the polls next Tuesday and monitoring what goes on to make sure every vote counts. It's a lot of work to fight back and I want to make sure they have the resources to make it happen. Don't let the big polluters steal this election on behalf of the Dirty Dozen: Pitch in $5 to the LCV Victory Fund, and help us win next Tuesday: http://action.lcv.org/site/R?i=2m-m6fMzOexTEVrN3kSh4w . Big Oil has done enough damage in Congress. Their pro-polluter, anti-reality rampage has devastated our lands, accelerated climate change, and turned back decades of progress we've fought for. But it's only the beginning. They're working to suppress the vote of everyday Americans so their allies can continue to run roughshod over the environment. Dirty Dozen candidates like Rep. Francisco Canseco of Texas and Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle of New York deny the existence of climate change. Virginia's George Allen spent his time out of political office working for oil executives, who are now bankrolling the effort to get one of their own back in Congress. The extreme views of these politicians put them at odds with science and out of step with regular folks... and they spell disaster for our environment. I need your help today to stop them. Early voting has already started in some states, and we have begun to hear reports of shady tactics. There's no time to waste. We need your support today to win next Tuesday. Chip in $5 right now to help the LCV Victory Fund fight back against voter suppression and triumph over the Dirty Dozen: http://action.lcv.org/site/R?i=0KXt4Cjp_mRkUOwTDjjtyQ . The Dirty Dozen may have their tricks, but there's one thing they don't have -- us. Your support today will help win critical races that could determine the future of our planet, so I'm glad you're on our side.
