One of the best actions you can take to protect our environment is to help defeat Tom McClintock who earned a 0% in 2017 from the League of Conservation Voters.  And so far in 2018 he has only voted for the environment 2 out of 22 times. 

To get involved in the effort to remove him as our rep in CA-04, contact one of the local organizations working so hard to do just that.
