Barbara Boxer
Tuesday, August 26, 2008 at 05:05 PM I’m Barbara Boxer and thanks to the great people of California who have elected me three times to the Senate, I now chair the Environment and Public Works Committee. When I took the gavel from the former chairman, I told him that “elections have consequences.” When we win in November, we’ll prove it. Instead of protecting polluters, we’ll protect our families. Instead of ignoring the experts, we’ll fight global warming. Instead of facing Republican roadblocks, we’ll have a Democratic majority large enough to ensure healthy communities. Remember: In the Senate, 60 is the new 50! Instead of a president with an Exxon policy, we’ll have a president with an energy policy. This November, we can’t afford more of the same. Let’s elect Barack Obama so that the world’s economic and environmental leader will clearly be our nation—the United States of America. Thank you.
