Executive Summary

Environment Ohio, along with our Nation federation (Environment America), produces this regular report on key votes in Congress as one of our many tools to help citizens engage in and impact environmental policy.

The 2009 Scorecard looks at the key environmental votes taken between May 2007 and September 2009.

The scorecard is distributed online, to our entire membership, and through our door-to-door canvass in cities and towns across the country.

What we see in the numbers is good progress on clean energy and environmental issues nationally.  Congress has made more proactive votes over the last three years, rather than defensive votes.  A reversal of the defensive oriented votes from 2006-2008.
