Jim Martin (GA-Senate)

Election day didn’t decide the Georgia Senate race: Jim Martin is facing a a run-off election on December 2 and he needs your help to get to the finish line.
With 99 percent of precincts reporting in Georgia, neither Martin nor his opponent Saxby Chambliss accumulated enough ballots to pull above the needed 50 percent plus one of the vote.
New giving limits now apply, so give and give again to help Martin lead the fight for new sources of energy that will protect our planet, end our dependence on oil, and create millions of jobs.

Climate change is the most pressing consrevation issues facing our planet, and Alaska faces a disproportionatley greater impact on its lands, wildlife and people.

Charlie Brown (CA-4)

Charlie Brown served in the US Air Force for over 23 years flying both rescue helicopters and airplanes and then returned to civilian life and continued his public service as a Roseville police officer. Brown’s commitment to public service continues today. In 2006, even thought he was vastly outspent by the incumbent, Charlie Brown came within 3 points of defeating one of California’s most anti-environmental members of congress, John Doolittle. Doolittle has since decided not to seek re-election amidst a cloud of corruption and scandal. And learning lessons from 2006, Brown has come back in 2008 with a strong campaign effort with an aggressive field campaign and strong fundraising to get his message out to this rugged and mostly undeveloped district covering most of Northeastern California. In this open seat effort Brown is challenging carpet bagging Republican candidate State Senator Tom McClintock who is known for his tight fists and anti-environmental votes in the California State Senate. Brown brings common sense, environmental compassion, and much needed new leadership to this corner of California.
