Wildlife group targets Nelson, Johanns

By Jim Snyder - 02/17/10 12:04 PM ET

The National Wildlife Federation Action Fund has a radio ad out criticizing Nebraska Sens. Mike Johanns (R) and Ben Nelson (D) for opposing EPA efforts to regulate greenhouse gases.

The ad uses some of the same themes touched upon in a Sierra Club ad against Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), who also is supporting a congressional effort to block EPA.

There isn’t any mention of climate change or global warming or even a comprehensive climate and energy legislation. Instead, Johanns and Nelson are knocked for siding with “special interests” in an effort to roll-back anti-pollution rules that protect “our health” and “quality of air.”


Like the Lincoln ad, the NWF radio spot also notes a news reports that two “Washington lobbyists” helped consulted on the effort to block EPA.

You can hear the ad hear.
