Congressman Tierney is committed to protecting our natural resources for the health and enjoyment of future generations. Throughout his entire time in Congress, he has strongly opposed legislation that would weaken environmental laws and will continue to do so. He has pledged to continue working with like-minded colleagues to promote policies and programs that end environmentally harmful practices, such as our dependence on fossil fuels, and work to develop sustainable alternatives.
President Bush and Interior Secretary Gale Norton have made it clear that they favor policies that would lead to exploitation of our natural resources to an unacceptable degree. Congressman Tierney will oppose such efforts at every opportunity.
