Florida Republican, and possible future leader on Global Warming, goes down

CNN has just called the FL-22 race for Ron Klein. Rep. Shaw and the National Wildlife Federation had recently formed a working relationship. Mr. Shaw help us set up a meeting with the Florida Delegation to discuss the adverse effects of global warming. Nonetheless, Rep. Shaw hadn't been on our side much before that. We look forward to working with Ron Klein on global warming, and the many other issues conservation in Florida. Here's what Mr. Klein had to say,

"“Reducing and ultimately eliminating our dependence on fossil fuels is the number one challenge of our country. … Shifting our energy supply from fossil fuels to cleaner, renewable sources of energy is absolutely essential to the continued strength of our nation and our planet. I am proud to support the Climate Stewardship Act and I pledge to you that I will make it a priority as I fight in Congress for the creation of a 21st century energy policy”—Statement from Senator Ron Klein read to Project Hot Seat rally by Communications Director Brian Welsh on October 4, 2006
