Today, the League of Conservation Voters named Virginia Senate candidate George Allen to its 2012 "Dirty Dozen" list. This is Allen’s third appearance on the list having been named in 2000 and 2006. Coinciding with the announcement, LCV launched a web video alerting Virginia voters to Allen’s campaign cash from Big Oil and his extensive record voting for special tax breaks to oil companies and against environmental protections.

Last night’s presidential debate brought plenty of incendiary language aimed at stirring up a room full of opinionated tea party activists while millions of Americans watched from home. Yet Rick Perry really sought to bring down the house following the debate. Maybe he learned a thing or two about being caught making false statements in front of debate moderators after his first appearance and this time decided to take it off stage.

Some of Big Oil’s most loyal defenders raked in plenty of campaign cash from the nation’s most profitable oil companies even while they voted to protect taxpayer handouts to those same companies. U.S. House members who supported these unnecessary handouts received a total of $1.2 million from the political action committees (PACs) of the top U.S. oil companies in the first six months of 2011, according to Public Campaign Action Fund analysis of data from the Federal Election Commission (FEC). That means a whopping 94% of House oil PAC money recipients in the first 6 months of 2011 voted to keep these wasteful subsidies. Got influence? We’d say Big Oil certainly does.
