Environmental Protection Airs Ads Backing Senator Graham
October 29, 2009
Republicans for
Environmental Protection began running television ads on October 30
across South Carolina supporting U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham for his
strong leadership on energy and climate change.
The group also plans to air radio ads as well.

"REP
applauds Senator Graham for setting a powerful example of conservative
leadership," REP Vice President for Government and Political Affairs
David Jenkins said. "True conservatives take seriously the risks facing our
country, and they take responsibility by supporting prudent measures to
reduce those risks."
REP believes that constructive Republican engagement will produce a
better climate and energy bill than one produced by Democrats alone.
The ad features State Senator John Courson, a Columbia Republican
representing Lexington and Richland Counties, who calls oil companies
and other special interests on the carpet for their misleading ads
attacking Senator Graham.
"We appreciate Senator Courson's standing up for Senator Graham," REP
President Rob Sisson said. "Both of these outstanding leaders are
patriots who have served our country with honor and understand what
true conservatism is. They recognize the value of problem-solving over
gridlock and of statesmanship over partisanship."
"Senator Graham deserves enormous credit for stepping forward to solve
real problems facing our nation and world. He correctly connects our
national security, energy security and economic security with the need
to protect our world for future generations," said REP Vice President
for Policy and Communications Jim DiPeso.
"We urge Republicans and Democrats to work together in good faith to
frame balanced climate and energy legislation that a broad majority of
Americans can support," DiPeso added.
The ads are airing in the South Carolina media markets of Greenville-Spartanburg, Columbia, Charleston,
and Florence-Myrtle Beach, and the Georgia media markets of Savannah and Augusta.
