The citizens of North Carolina value and deserve nothing less than effective, accountable, and principled representation in the Senate.

Are they receiving this from Elizabeth Dole?

Not even close.

Not only is she judged to be one of the least powerful members of the Senate, when she does exercise power, what does she do?

She panders to Big Oil, and the expense of her constituents, the hard-working people of North Carolina.

Elizabeth Dole voted in favor of huge tax breaks for Big Oil in 2005, even though the industry was earning sky-high profits, and while gas prices were climbing higher and higher.

Worse yet, she has voted against funding to develop renewable energy - she intends to keep us held hostage to OPEC. Even conservative Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) stated that we are in a new phase of energy markets, and that the time for big tax breaks is over.

And while gas prices have soared, Dole has not supported raising fuel economy standards, which would have saved people money at the pump.

Elizabeth Dole - effective for Big Oil special interests.
Utterly ineffective for North Carolina.
