  • Let's Change the Policy Climate
    FOLLOW THE MONEY... FIND OUT THE TRUTH Let’s Change the Policy Climate What’s fueling too many political campaigns? Oil and gas! The oil and gas industry, which has a huge stake in climate change and other policy issues, contributed $23 million to Congressional candidates for the 2008 election and then spent $168 million to lobby federal lawmakers in 2009. About three-fourths of the contributions went to incumbents holding positions of power over environmental policies. In fact, since 2003, this industry has spent a staggering $700 million to infl uence federal legislation. ► Senator Richard Burr (R-Winston-Salem) is North Carolina’s largest Congressional recipient of oil and gas donations, receiving $314,000 during 2003-09. While Sen. Burr was taking the industry’s money, he voted against legislation to protect the Mid-Atlantic coast from offshore drilling, against capping mercury and global warming pollution, and against increasing fuel effi ciency in cars. ► U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick (R-Charlotte), who sits on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, is NC’s second largest recipient of oil/gas donations, with $83,660 for 2003-09. On the League of Conservation Voters annual evaluation of environmental votes for 2003-2008, her score averages only 4 out of a possible 100. ► U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-Banner Elk) is third with $50,600 – and a League of Con- servation Voters score of 8 out of 100. We need clean energy and clean campaign money. If you support better environmental policies, it makes good sense to also support cam- paign fi nance reform.
