WASHINGTON, DC - The League of Conservation Voters (LCV), which works to turn environmental values into national priorities, today added Congressman Stevan Pearce (R-NM) to its 2008 "Dirty Dozen" list.* Pearce’s record of extremism marks him as one of the twelve worst members of Congress currently up for election.

"During his five years in Congress, Steve Pearce has voted consistently against the environment," LCV Senior Vice-President for Political Affairs and Public Education Tony Massaro said. "Of the 80 conservation key votes since he has been elected, Pearce has voted against clean air, clean energy, protecting the nation's wildlife, and preserving our natural heritage in all but one vote."

Pearce's lifetime LCV score is an embarrassing 1%. He has earned three 0% scores in his tenure and his highest annual score was 5% in his first year.** His opponent, Tom Udall, has earned a 96% lifetime LCV score.

In addition to owning millions of dollars of stock in Key Energy, a Texas-based oil services company, Steve Pearce has accepted more from the oil and gas industry, $556,649, than from any other economic sector. He has voted to give more than $14 billion in tax breaks to the oil industry, opposed renewable electricity, and fought against fuel efficient cars that would save New Mexico families hundreds of dollars at the pump.

Pearce has been a constant supporter of drilling in Otero Mesa, the vast desert grasslands of southern New Mexico. The largest single contributor to Pearce's finances, Yates Petroleum, is the largest lease-holder in the Otero Mesa.

energy bill would actually erect more barriers to drilling and illustrates the
liberal environmental activists who are funding Democrats in efforts to stop
drilling and domestic energy production.

Someone needs to inform Tony Massaro that Congressmen represent the people who voted them into office. They don't represent the "environment." Their votes in Congress are for their constituents, not deer or fish or bears.
