Elect Jerry McNerney - Defeat Richard Pombo
Defeat Congressman Richard Pombo - One of the 13 most corrupt members of Congress. Rep. Richard Pombo (R CA/11) is known as Big Oil's best friend and one of the 13 most corrupt members of Congress.
As the Chairman of the House Resources Committee, he has lead the charge to dismantle the Endangered Species Act, to drill in the Arctic Refuge, to open our coasts to destructive drilling, and he has even gone so far as to propose selling off America's National Parks.
Over the past decade Rep. Pombo has established himself as the single most anti-environmental member of Congress. In Richard Pombo's world, there is nothing worth protecting or preserving, in America's last special places he sees only profits for his Big Oil friends.
The Sierra Club Political Committee is determined to defeat Pombo, and with your help we will!
