| Karl Rove’s Montana Lies Karl Rove is attacking Montana Senator John Tester because he’s been an invaluable leader in championing clean energy and holding Big Oil accountable. |
Alice – Good old Karl Rove. He never seems to go away, does he? Well, he and his billionaire buddies are at it again.
Just a few weeks ago, Rove’s interest group ran a statewide ad in Montana hurling vicious attacks on Senator Jon Tester’s environmental record.
The only problem with the ad? It was a complete work of fiction. Fortunately, at least one of the Montana cable networks running the ad realized the spot was full of lies and yanked it off the air.
Once again, good old Karl Rove – with hundreds of millions in corporate special interest cash at his disposal – thinks he can say whatever he wants to win elections. And let’s face it; this most recent ad is just the beginning. Given Montana’s relatively inexpensive media markets, there’s little doubt that Rove will dump millions of corporate special interest money into Montana before this election is over.
With so much dirty polluter and corporate special interest money pouring on to the Montana airwaves, it’s critical that LCV supporters help Senator Tester right now. We all need to stand behind environmental champions like Senator Tester and give him the resources he needs to win next November.
LCV Action Fund’s goal is to raise $40,000 from the environmental community for Jon Tester by the December 31st Federal Election Commission year-end deadline. Will you help?
During his time in the U.S. Senate, Senator Tester earned an 86% lifetime score on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard. By contrast, his opponent, Rep. Denny Rehberg, has an abysmal lifetime score of only 5%. The difference between these two candidates couldn’t be starker.
If environmental donors join together and support true environmental leaders like Senator Tester, we’ll win in 2012.Thanks so much for your support.
