For more details, go to the LCV Web site. |
The League of Conservation Voters released its annual "report card" on the national legislature today, and Rhode Island Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse both scored a perfect 100 percent. In the House, Rep. Patrick Kennedy scored 77 percent, while Rep. James Langevin earned a 92. 
"The majority of the 11 Senate and 13 House votes in the 2008 Scorecard are energy votes that presented Congress with a real choice," says the LCV. " [Either] chart a bold new course that puts Americans back to work, saves families money at the gas pump and on home heating bills, improves our national security, and protects the planet for future generations; or, continue the disastrous energy policies of the last eight years that have benefited only the oil industry."
