TV Ads Focus On McConnell
KENTUCKY....
The nonpartisan group VoteVets.org. is airing television ads in Kentucky and Indiana aimed at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Indiana Senators Evan Bayh (Democrat)and Richard Lugar (Republican). The veterans' group is calling on McConnell to return $150,000 in campaign contributions from oil companies that, according to the group, do business in countries with ties to terrorists. The veterans want McConnell, Bayh, Lugar and other senators to support clean energy legislation passed by the House last June. McConnell says he has a strong record of supporting legislation to make America more energy independent and has encouraged the administration to produce more domestic clean energy, including building more clean nuclear power plants, increasing offshore exploration for oil and gas where states want to do so, and developing clean coal technologies.
