Something To Remember: THEY WORK FOR YOU

You send senators and representatives to Washington to represent you. When they asked you for your vote, they said they'd look after your best interests. So how have they done?

You can measure a whole range of different issues. From the war in Iraq to women's rights to how they vote on taxes. And then there's the environment. I don't know how you feel about the air you breathe, but it's kind of important to me. And water's right up there too.

There's a very good organization called the League of Conservation Voters. They're a bunch of folks who look at the environment as if their lives depended on it (which seems kinda smart if you think about it!). And they have compiled a breakdown which rates how YOUR senators and congressmen voted on environmental issues. They then assign a percentage to how your lawmakers are doing. The higher the score, the better your legislators voted to protect the environment.

Ya wanna see the breakdown for those who represent you in Washington? All right... here it is.

I want you to go to the sites, so all I'll say is this: SHAME ON YOU Texas Legislators. These folks obviously care more about those who wish to make money wreaking havoc on the environment than they do about your kids' future. As you think about whom to vote for the next time around, I hope you'll consider how they're looking after your grandchildren's environment. Because that's what this is about: the future. And these folks are doing a lousy job of looking after it.
