A new ad running by Rep. Jim Ryun (R-KS) which you can see here:
Advocates Jim Ryun's hard work on creating sound energy policy and fuel independence that is consistently blocked by liberal environmental extremists.
Funny thing... he talks all about his hard work for the environment all the while gassing up his gas guzzling SUV - careful Jim... your right wing conservatism is showing!

To Support a REAL Conservationist please go over to Nancy Boyda's site
Nancy is known for her support of alternative energy opposing our dependence on foreign oil and encouraging not only smarter conservation but alternative fuels like Ethanol, soy diesel, harnessing Kansas's wind energy, developments for affordable solar energy, and more.
It is time for a change. Volunteer for Nancy Here
Nancy knows that America has needed a sound energy policy since the crisis of the 1970s. The failure to address our addiction to fossil fuels has left our country less secure and our children's future threatened. Our dependence on foreign oil has made balanced energy a matter of national security. The importance of gas, oil and other fuels to our economy means every working American should be concerned about our country's energy policy.
Big oil and gas companies have reaped huge profits by keeping America addicted. The answer? Substantial funding for research and development for conservation and alternative fuels.
Nancy Boyda supports an energy plan that will bring down gas prices, increase our energy independence, invest in new technologies, and promote energy efficiency and conservation. The record rise in gas prices only reinforces the need for a long-term, balanced national energy policy. To reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil sources, Congress should invest in domestic energy sources, including measures to increase the use of renewable energy resources and the use of emerging technologies that could increase energy efficiency and reduce overall energy consumption. We deserve a stronger, safer, cleaner country.
And Jim Ryun?? Even as gas prices continue to soar nationwide, the Republicans passed an energy bill that increases costs for consumers and taxpayers, and puts money in the hands of the big energy companies who wrote the bill. While Democrats were not allowed to participate in drafting the policy and were excluded from deliberations, energy companies and special interests had a seat at the table.
Nancy worked for the Environmental Protection Agency and knows first hand that America must preserve our precious ecosystems. Nancy Boyda is the answer. Rep Jim Ryun is just more of the same.
Time for Change Please Contribute to Nancy Today and support real fuel efficiency and honest energy policy that helps every day Americans.
SUPPORT NANCY TODAY! My guess is that with ads like this Ryun is suffering big time in the polls and that is why he is trying to pull moderate voters who care about crazy things like clean air and clean water and child asthma over to his side.
I don't know about you but I pledge right now that when I get paid tomorrow I am sending Nancy Boyda $250. I urge you to follow my lead and send $10, $25, $50 or whatever you can - because this one could be a take back in 2006!!
