Second Annual Lobby Day a Success!

Today marked the second annual LCV Lobby Day on Capitol Hill, where members of our Board, staffers and supporters of state LCVs across the country met with members of Congress and their staff members.

The big topics of the day were global warming legislation and the steps that, together, we can take to actively address our dependence on oil and the impacts of climate change.

We were honored to get a breakfast briefing from a longtime environmental champion, Congressman Henry Waxman of California. Then, in a whirlwind circuit around the Hill from the House side of the U.S. Capitol to the Senate side and back -- several times -- LCV met with 49 other members, including league-endorsed Rep. Jerry McNerney and and Sens. Frank Lautenberg and Mark Udall.

A special shout out to a pair of our champs, Sens. Barbara Boxer and Jon Tester, for making time to meet with us on this important day.

Today LCV was able to voice your support for strong global warming legislation and the Clean Water Restoration Act directly with members of Congress and forge relationships on both sides of the aisle that will be key to passing strong legislation this year.
