New Oregon Senator Ron Wyden was elected by a slim majority (17,00 votes 
out of 1.1 million cast, acc. to The Los Angeles Times), and gives credit 
to the work of leaders in the Sierra Club and League of Conservation 
Voters who conducted independent campaign efforts on his behalf. 

The article also notes:
"The environment made a difference," said Daniel Weiss, a Sierra Club 
official based in Washington DC.

Environmentalists/political activists in California take heed: coming out 
in favor of clean air, clean water and a healthy environment is back in 
favor! Voters are realizing we are not "radical," but realistic, and that 
Americans do, indeed, have the right to a clean and safe environment. 

On to November! And to our elected officials who have voted to weaken 
environmental protection laws the last 14 months: We've been watching, we 
won't forget, and we plan to get out the vote!
