On Wednesday, May 28, 2008, Republicans for Environmental Protection released its 2007 Congressional Scorecard. Click here to read the press release. Click here to download the Scorecard PDF.

The REP Scorecard rates U.S. House and Senate Republicans for their votes on critical energy, public lands, air, and water legislation. It is unique in several ways:

• It is the only scorecard that rates Republicans only. It compares apples to apples: Republican senators to Republican senators and Republican congressmen to Republican congressmen.
• It sets clear benchmarks for assessing the performance of Republicans on the vital environmental protection and conservation issues facing America.
• It rates lawmakers for the full year of congressional activity, to ensure the fairest, most complete assessment.
• It scores both positive and negative environmental leadership on issues, earning members both credits and demerits.
