Dirty Money-Our Missouri Government Leaders
Dear Mr. Carnahan, Mr. Bond, and Ms. McCaskill-
I encourage 'Leading by Example'. When I read that my Elected Leaders have a combined Political Contributions of $455,759.00-From the Oil and Coal Industry. I feel my Government Representatives are being influenced by the Oil and Coal Corporations.
I encourage you to vote for meaningful legislation that will move our Great State and assist in the Nation's move towards Energy Independence. If more of our Electricity was supplied by Renewable Energy- We would require less Coal and Oil.
Its obvious to even the Lay-Person that Global Warming is REAL with Oil and Coal being the biggest culprits. In staying with our States Theme: 'Show Me'. I believe we have the perfect opportunity to 'Show' the Union how we are directing our Great State towards Energy Independence.
I am just one small voice and share my views with my combined 4,000 average monthly readers via my web sites. When it comes time for RE-Election in the Future. Renewable Energy Production and Weatherization will be 'Hot-Bed' Issues. I would like to report to my Readers that Our Current Leaders have voted for Renewable Energy Production and Weatherization. Rather than reporting how our Current Leaders are voting for Big Oil and Big Coal.
I would also like to offer Guest Post Opportunities for you to share your Views on Renewable Energy Production and Weatherization.
Thank you for your time. My best to you and yours.
Build Green,
Scotty

Congress' inability to pass meaningful energy legislation is simply unacceptable. I am convinced that if we're going to end our addiction to fossil fuels, Congress must end its addiction to fossil fuel campaign finance. Please assure me that you will no longer accept campaign contributions from the oil, coal, and gas industries. "You Three have collected:$455,759.00 from the Oil and Coal Organizations"

Why We Advocate July 29, 2010
An anecdote, to start with…A colleague, on a recent visit to Washington DC, found himself in conversation with a recently retired, well-known and -respected U.S. senator. He took the opportunity to ask him what it would take for a congressman to vote for an issue that he knew in his heart was right for the country and the planet, irrespective of partisan attachments and personal considerations. The retired senator (whom, in order not to betray a trust, we will not name, but who is known as a strong supporter of energy independence) replied that only when the congressman no longer needed an influx of money, e.g., after he had decided not to run for office again, might this happen. Until then he would always vote in accordance with his source of funding, working hard to produce whatever arguments were needed to justify his vote.

†These numbers show how the industry ranks in total campaign giving as compared to more than 80 other industries. Rankings are shown only for industries (such as the Automotive industry) -- not for widely encompassing "sectors" (such as Transportation) or more detailed "categories" (like car dealers).
*These figures do not include donations of "Levin" funds to state and local party committees. Levin funds were created by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002.
METHODOLOGY: The numbers on this page are based on contributions of $200 or more from PACs and individuals to federal candidates and from PAC, soft money and individual donors to political parties, as reported to the Federal Election Commission. While election cycles are shown in charts as 1996, 1998, 2000 etc. they actually represent two-year periods. For example, the 2002 election cycle runs from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2002.
Data for the current election cycle were released by the Federal Election Commission on Sunday, June 13, 2010.
NOTE: Soft money contributions to the national parties were not publicly disclosed until the 1991-92 election cycle, and were banned by the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act following the 2002 elections.
