WASHINGTON, DC - Launched today by the League of Conservation Voters (LCV), a new tongue-in-cheek video points out that when we talk about the right-wing echo chamber, we’re never sure who’s echoing whom.  Visit www.withusorwithrush.com, watch the new video, and see where Republican leaders like Senator Mitch McConnell and Representative John Boehner get their talking points on energy and global warming. 
 
“We’ve finally figured out who shapes the misguided and incorrect energy policies that Republican leaders so often spew in the halls of Congress,” said Navin Nayak, Director of Global Warming at LCV. “While the majority of Americans want a clean energy future, Rush Limbaugh clings to phony science and outdated sources of energy. Some Republicans, like Governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Charlie Crist, have the backbone to stand with us.  We hope that the others, those who’ve chosen Rush’s side, will someday follow their example.”
