GREGG APPLAUDS FEDERAL COURT RULING IN FAVOR OF FOREST SERVICE’S MANAGEMENT OF WHITE MOUNTAIN NATIONAL FOREST

NEW HAMPSHIRE – U.S. Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) today applauded Friday’s decision by the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire denying an injunction on the Than and Batchelder Brook timber harvesting projects in the White Mountain National Forest. The injunction, sought by the Sierra Club, Forest Watch, and The Wilderness Society, challenged the projects that were part of the U.S. Forest Service’s 2005 Forest Management Plan. The recent ruling will not allow the challenging environmental groups to halt logging projects in these areas while they appeal the case, which was ruled on in favor of the Forest Service in early June.

The National Sierra Club has begun airing a television ad that criticizes U.S. Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) energy plan. The ad buy was first reported by PolitickerNH.com earlier this week.

Sierra Club defends Shea-Porter in new radio spot

The environmental group Sierra Club is launching a radio advertisement Monday praising several freshmen congressional Democrats who are engaged in competitive re-election races this fall for what the organization says has been their aggressive stance against oil companies. Amongst those members the Sierra Club is defending is Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-Rochester).

The spot is likely to be seen as a direct counterpoint to Freedom's Watch, a conservative-leaning advocacy group which for the past several weeks has been hitting Democratic members on the issue of offshore drilling.

"All this week, you'll be hearing about the billions of dollars in record high profits the big oil companies are making," an announcer says in the 60-second spot entitled "Rolling in It." "They're raking it in while we're feeling the pain of four dollar a gallon gas. Let's face it -- big oil has our economy, our energy policies and our politics in a strangle-hold. But Congress still has a chance to break that hold, to pass legislation that provides price relief and helps hard working families instead of the oil industry.

"Call Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter... Thank her for standing up to the oil companies. Ask her to keep voting to end the billions in government giveaways to big oil, to crack down on the price gouging that's keeping gas prices so high, and to invest in renewable energy and give consumers more, cleaner energy choices."
