[birdky] The League of Conservation Voters

Is another bi-partisan organization that rates all congressmen and senators on 
their environmental & conservation voting records. In their most recent 
publication, McConnell received a score of zero. In other words, he took an 
anti-environmental, anti-conservation position on every issue that came before 
the Senate. In the House, Ernie Fletcher also had a zero. And Anne Northup's 
record was just about as bad. Kentucky's congressional delegation has 
consistently one of the worst records of any state on 
conservation/environmental issues. The last politician to score even a 50% 
score was Scotty Baesler when he was the 6th District Rep.
 
Interestingly, the LCV is headed by Theodore Roosevelt IV, grandson of TR.
