Exxon Mobil & Roy Blunt
Eight years ago, ExxonMobil promised shareholders that it would stop supporting climate denial through its political contributions. It hasn't. A new report released last week shows that ExxonMobil has continued to fund both the ultra-conservative, climate-denying lobbying group ALEC, as well as climate-denying legislators in Congress. Senator Roy Blunt is one of those. He's received more than $39,000 in contributions from ExxonMobil since 2007. Sen. Blunt shouldn't be helping ExxonMobil break promises. It's time for him to give that money back.
Why is this important?
Money and politics are a bad combination.
