Pombo's run endangered by animal activist groups

Two national environmental groups have such deep-seated dislike for
Rep. Richard Pombo - and see him as so vulnerable - that they've made
their maiden forays into congressional campaign politics to try to
unseat him.
Their efforts have turned what might have been a snooze of a race into
a nationally watched showdown to represent parts of San Joaquin,
Contra Costa, Alameda and Santa Clara counties, and perhaps to help
tip Congress' balance of power.
The new political arm of Defenders of Wildlife, the nation's
fourth-largest environmental group, has spent more than a year,
mobilized hundreds of volunteers and anted up almost $500,000 to oust
Pombo, R-Tracy, a 14-year House veteran and Resources Committee
chairman. The Humane Society of the United States' political arm
entered the fray Sept. 15, capitalizing on its influence among
Republican women.

But if you do nothing, there will be no result."
