At the tail end of June, Members of Congress far and wide demonstrated their dedication to fighting global warming, reducing our dependence on foreign oil, and creating millions of clean energy jobs by voting for the American Clean Energy and Security.  The amount of support generated from regions all across the country demonstrates the momentum this legislation has moving forward in the Senate.

We'd like to especially thank the members who voted in favor of the bill because of the billions of dollars it will provide to safeguard America's natural resources from the effects of global warming.  A vote for this bill was a vote to protect trout, salmon, ducks, and other fish and game populations all across the country!

Of all the people that stood up to protect America's natural resources from global warming last week, I was particularly impressed by Congressman Chandler from Kentucky.  He wrote an excellent editorial piece defending his vote: 

"Recent history teaches us all too well it is wiser to address a crisis at its beginning rather than allow it to fester and worsen. I believe that we need to act now, rather than later, to prevent irreparable damage to our environment, our economy and our families.

As legislators and as a country, we are taking a big step in the right direction with this new reform. It is a step toward combating pollution and toward protecting the rolling bluegrass hills, the diverse forests and the clear streams and rivers of our commonwealth.

Congrats to the sportsmen and women of America. Tonight the US House of Representatives voted to pass the American Clean Energy and Security Act, a landmark bill to safeguard wildilfe and our natural world for future generations.

Thanks to the tireless effort of hunters and anglers like David Crockett, Ed Perry and people like you, we scored a major victory on the road to a clean energy future.

Stay tuned as this historic bill moves to the Senate, for more ways that you can speak up for America's lands and natural resources.
