"In the face of today's repeated attempts to put our health and safety at risk, New Mexico's Senators Jeff Bingaman and Tom Udall fought to make sure that Americans will have clean air to breathe. They helped beat back four different measures in the U.S. Senate that would have weakened the Clean Air Act, which protects Americans from dangerous pollution like mercury, carbon, and methane. Senators Bingaman and Udall showed the kind of leadership that we need in Congress. Every person in New Mexico who has lungs should call them to say thank you."
