Who is Tom Allen?
From his website:
Since his election in 1996, Tom Allen has been an effective leader in Congress, introducing legislation on prescription drug issues, campaign finance reform, and the environment. Tom serves on two influential House committees - Energy & Commerce and Budget - where he is a strong advocate on issues including health care, small business, energy policy, fiscal responsibility, and economic competitiveness.
...
Tom advocates for clean air and reliable, affordable energy. He supports a new national energy policy that would decrease our reliance on fossil fuels and foreign oil and encourage innovation and conservation. He has introduced bipartisan legislation to provide relief to small businesses to offset rising energy costs, and bipartisan legislation to promote energy efficiency across many sectors of our economy.
There are a lot of things I like about Tom Allen. One of the things I like about him is the fact that he's a good advocate for the environment. As you can read above, Congressman Allen has worked to promote energy efficiency and he's worked to help make energy affordable for the people of Maine. He has worked to reduce mercury pollution, voted against the Bush Energy Bill, and with Henry Waxman, he introduced the Safe Climate Act which will take steps to control carbon dioxide.
Want to know more about Tom Allen? Join him this evening at 7 p.m. EST for a live online discussion about Iraq at his website, TomAllen.org.
Also, keep an eye out for a diary from Tom Allen himself!
