Though the Senate is still moving ahead with clean energy legislation, advocacy groups haven't forgotten the contributions already made by lawmakers in the fight against global warming.

In a series of television and print advertisements, House members who voted for the American Clean Energy and Security Act, passed in June, have been drawing recognition for their efforts from a wide variety of organizations and citizen coalitions.

Favorable television spots have been running in at least 25 congressional districts, while print campaigns have been launched in approximately 40 districts. Many of the ads focus on the economic promise of the bill, which will create scores of new jobs in the Midwes and elsewhere. A series of print advertisements run by a sportsmen group emphasizes the inclusion of dedicated funds for safeguarding natural resources.

 Among members being singled out for praise are Tom Perriello (D-VA); Harry Teague (D-N.M.); John Boccieri (D-Ohio); Alan Grayson (D-Fla.); Suzanne Kosmas (D-Fla.); and Frank Kratovil (D-Md.).
