Eight months ago, the Vote Energy Smart, not Energy Dumb! effort began.
The opportunity is before us to bring focus to [energy and global warming] across campaigns, across the United States, and make Energy/Global Warming a winning issue come November and a higher priority for serious Congressional and Administration action come January 2009.
The Energy Smart Act Blue page worked on the philosophy of supporting underdog challengers, who were not “expected” to win when added to the page. And, most importantly:
The challenger understands energy / environmental issues and will bring a radically different perspective to the Hill compared to the incumbent.
Join below the fold for a recap of the 2008 candidates and the Energy Smart list and a look forward to 2009.
