You spoke, we listened.

That’s why today we proudly announce LCV’s endorsement of President Barack Obama for re-election.

Last month, we asked LCV members whether we should endorse President Obama – and 91.3 percent of you said “Yes.”

Now, we need your help to mobilize in key battleground states that President Obama must win in November.

Watch our new LCV Victory Fund video and get involved in our campaign to help re-elect President Obama.

President Obama has fought to take control of our energy future from Big Oil and other dirty energy interests who have put polluter profits ahead of our environment. The president’s first-term accomplishments include:

• Proposing the first-ever national standards to limit the harmful industrial carbon pollution from power plants that contributes to global warming.
• Fighting to eliminate Big Oil’s special tax breaks and invest the savings in clean, renewable energy sources that create jobs.
• Implementing the first-ever national standards to limit mercury and other toxic air pollution from power plants, which will save lives and reduce asthma attacks.
• Proposing new national standards to increase fuel efficiency standards to 54.5 miles per gallon by the year 2025 – dramatically cutting our dangerous dependence on oil.
• Doubling the country’s use of wind and solar power, while also making huge investments in energy efficiency.

Check out our new video about President Obama’s clean energy record – and share it with your family and friends.

Make no mistake: This year’s presidential election offers a stark choice. Mitt Romney, who refuses to acknowledge the scientific consensus on climate change, has fully adopted Big Oil’s agenda – even appointing a billionaire oil executive as his top energy advisor. So it’s not surprising that Romney has pledged to defend Big Oil’s special tax breaks, while also attacking vital clean energy policies.

It’s also not surprising that Big Oil is coming to his defense – in a big way. Oil and gas interests have given Romney more than $1 million in campaign cash, while the Koch brothers have pledged to spend $200 million in this year’s election. In fact, groups backed by the Koch brothers have already spent nearly $10 million this year attacking President Obama’s clean energy record. At the same time, Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS has dropped millions on false and misleading TV ads.

President Obama can’t win in November without our help. So let’s get started! Watch our new video, pledge to get involved and then help spread the word.

Thank you for fighting for a cleaner, safer environment.

Sincerely,
Gene Karpinski
President
