Vito Fossella's recent legislative votes

National Landscape Conservation System Act, H.R. 2016
Vote Passed (278-140, 12 Not Voting)

The House voted to give permanent statutory protection to the Department of Interior’s National Landscape Conservation System, a 26 million-acre network of monuments, scenic trails, and conservation and wildlife areas.

The National Landscape Conservation System is a 26 million acre collection of national monuments, wilderness areas, scenic rivers, trails, and historic sites. These crown jewels are the last places to experience the history and wild beauty of the American West, with hunting, fishing, access to the rugged outdoors, and opportunities to create your own adventure.

The Bureau of Land Management's Conservation System was designated seven years ago, but without further support there is no guarantee that the System will be around in another seven years. Only Congress can permanently establish the Conservation System as the last great network of American protected lands. [via ConservationSystem.org]

Fossella targeted by National Wildlife Federation

The National Wildlife Federation has released their "Final 50" list today highlighting 50 members of Congress they are targeting who have yet to endorse the Safe Climate Act or the Climate Stewardship Act. Should these final 50 holdouts endorse the bill there will be enough support to overcome a likely veto by President Bush, ensuring that Congress acts in an appropriate manner and reduces global warming related pollution.

Congratulations Rep. Fossella on making the list!

How did we choose the Final 50?
Each of these representatives have supported some solutions to global warming--but they have yet to endorse a bill that measures up to the challenge.

Rep. Fossella voted for the Renewable Electricity Standard. He also voted for the Sense of Congress resolution calling for Congress to pass legislation that mandates reductions in global warming pollution. But, he has not supported comprehensive global warming legislation.

Help the NWF sway Rep. Fossella and get him onboard.
