The VA Sierra Club PAC launched a new campaign today with two goals: uncover the extreme agenda of the McDonnell-Cuccinelli Administration and raise money to elect environmentally minded candidates to the General Assembly in 2011. The following is a statement from Virginia Chapter-Sierra Club Assistant Director J.R. Tolbert about the launch of this new initiative.
"Attorney General Cuccinelli and Governor McDonnell have taken Virginia down a dangerous path since taking office. The Attorney General's barrage of attacks against climate science, and the men and women who study that science, as well as the governor's complicity in sitting quietly as these attacks occur are not representative of Virginian values.
"The Virginia Chapter-Sierra Club is committed to fighting back against these attacks. Heading into this election year, we know that the out-of-touch policies of the McDonnell Administration and their allies in the legislature will be on full display. Already, Delegate Bob Marshall has put forward more climate denial bills. Legislation that if passed would see Virginia slip even further behind in the race for 21st century jobs.
"Members of the General Assembly have a choice. They can stand with Cuccinelli, or they can stand up for basic Virginia values like clean air and clean water. We look forward to working with those that share our values, and defeating those that do not.
"By working together, Virginians can stop the extreme agenda of the McDonnell-Cuccinelli Administration and ensure a brighter future for the Commonwealth."
